Over the last 12 months you can tell within 2 minutes of a match whether spurs will struggle. Opposition sets a high line, presses intensely, overloads the centre - all the red flags.
It’s happened with last 2 managers which leads me to think there’s a cultural issue at the club to solve first.

Lots of blame for vic on the goal but Gray demands the ball so he can pop it off to Cuti. Even if the pass to him is bad Gray’s got to use his body and play 1st time.
Spurs are in a real funk of younger players who are going to make mistakes, and senior players not stepping up and supporting them.

Don’t think I’ve ever known a club where the assistants are so in demand for manager jobs. I’m sure it’ll be Justin Cochrane next.
🟣🏴 BREAKING: The Colorado Rapids will name Tottenham assistant Matt Wells their next head coach, per sources.
Wells, 37, is an assistant under Thomas Frank. Previously worked under Ange Postecoglu and Scott Parker.

That’s 2 games in a row now I’ve come away from spurs not just seeing a good performance, but seeing a team that undeniably looks well coached.
Been at least 12 months since we’ve been able to say that.

Shape against Brentford was really good… now we have shape and rotations (inverted full backs are back!)
Frank is rolling out all his layers in the space of a week.

Easily our best performance of the season. midfield balance was spot on, and there was a real direct threat left (Spence), right (kudus) and centre (Simons).
Who could have guessed if you give the opposition a variety of problems, and have 3 mids happy to take the ball, you’ll look half decent.

Almost flawless first half from spurs. Movement through the team, options on the ball for the defenders, and 2 goals down my end.
You do just feel like there’s a calamity around the corner 2nd half. Especially with this ref.

Off to spurs and I was going to say something profound about today either being the end of the beginning, or the beginning of the end for Frank - but let’s face it, anything other than a win today and the crowd will make sure it’s the end of the end for TF.
No pressure then lads.

I know this is a minor spurs gripe, but their ticketing comms have completely disintegrated this season.
They’ve just emailed me at 10am saying the ticketing window for buying a Dortmund ticket closes at 1pm today. 3 hours notice to buy a ticket. No wonder the grounds empty for CL this season.

This squad has barely a trace of character, but Romero (and Bergvall) stand miles apart from the rest. Warriors the pair of them.
P.s. someone needs to investigate these decisions against us. Dodgy as hell.

There’s a fundamental problem with this approach from the players. Most of our fans have seen lots of players come and go over the decades. They can recognise those with character and they can spot those who only turn up in fair weather. This group is the latter.

I imagine Frank will limp on to an inglorious end against Brentford next Saturday, but it just covers a group of poor technical players lacking any trace of character.
There were moments when Porro was taking a throw 2nd half where the players would literally have hidden behind Frank if they could.

It’s difficult to imagine any manager surviving after such huge tactical errors in successive games, but the lack of character in these players is indescribable. Reminds me of spurs in the 90s again.

I wasn’t going to post at all today cos I knew it’d be bad.
The strange thing is, on the opening day we started with Bergvall, Gray, Sarr in mid. 2nd game we went man-2-man with Man City and pressed them off the park.
Frank can be brave, he just seems to have lost his nerve. He needs it back fast

Not only is there a crazy number of half and half scarfs today…there’s someone wearing a Utd shirt in the north stand. Stewards look very panicked.

Can’t remember the last time spurs had a 12.30 home game?
Had to run back in and get my sunglasses. Imperative in the north stand for an early kick off on a clear day like today.

Obviously can’t learn anything when the opposition is that bad and didn’t even press us when we were down to 10.
Hopefully lots of confidence for players who need it and a run for Xavi and Pape in the middle now.

Sitting in the ground and they won’t show a replay of the red card. Looked like nothing from where I am. Ridiculous that people in the stadium can’t see what’s happening.

First time a team hasn’t pressed us or filled the midfield since Burnley and it shows.
Sarr and Bentancur winning the ball back aggressively….shame the front 4 have all the intensity of a crab,
Simons couldn’t do much more. muani and oberbert continue to look like competition winners out there.
