That should do it.  Poor effort by Harry. 

 

Good new is that El Clasico is starting on ESPN.

West Ham dedicates practice time to set pieces. We don't seem to. Also, nice of Nuno to wait until the 84th minute to make changes.

To be fair, we clearly focus our training time to passing it around the back and walking around after we go down one.

I think Nuno has zero plan for how to attack outside of counters. He's basically a less caustic Mourinho.

A bit of a mystery to me....Wolves under him were relentless. I feared that team when we played them, and not just bc of Tryori roids. EPL version of all gas no brakes.

Nah. Different formation (3-5-2) and was pretty much all counter attacking football. Wolves were generally always the underdog.

I still have no confidence that Kane wants to be at Spurs.  Zero

their whole approach with nuno was to clog the midfield and back and punt balls for traore to chase on the counter. spurs long-standing inability to break down those types of teams doesn’t mean they’re relentless.

Why would he? They have zero plan as an organization 

 

tell me he’s wrong. 

[Captain Ron 13,133]

And to be fair, I think Kane is giving his all. He just isn’t getting service due to a lack of a quality MF and the results are what we see.

Being a UT football fan and Tottenham futbol fan is a bad combination

[Pathetic Shark 94]

Looking at the two teams from today, WH obviously has the better system but player for player I’d take them as well.  If WH can keep hold of Rice and Bowen and get some cover for Antonio I’d see them staying around the European spots.  Spurs look like a hodgepodge of players assembled without a plan.

[Captain Ron 13,133]

I wouldn’t. I would take a manager that knows how to use his team. Spurs have lacked this since Poch was forced out.

We should have paid up for Graham Potter.

[kingkoopa6 8,723]

COYS!

[kingkoopa6 8,723]

victory!

[Captain Ron 13,133]

Well still in the EFL Cup - it's something.

[midtown 3,355]

There's only one choice.

[DeepEastTexas 646]

COYS!!!!

[Captain Ron 13,133]

COYS. flipping back and forth from the UT game. 

[DCLonghorn 244]

Spurs on TV (wife is Spurs fan...so I'm being nice) and Horns on tablet. I feel like I'm cheating on both teams a little.

[Captain Ron 13,133]

Damn. But not much you could do with that.

[DeepEastTexas 646]

Well, could be flipping over to the football game full time after that. 

[Captain Ron 13,133]

If not before, now you can. Jesus Romero, WTF were you doing there?  Cavani was wide open for what felt like an hour.

[DeepEastTexas 646]

Nuno is a dead man walking. Paratici might as well join him. Clearly, a difference in visions between him and Levy. 

[midtown 3,355]

United is terrible and we are even worse

They should have hired Graham Potter. Levy is Jerry Jones and Paratici's vision seems to involve a complicated multi year rebuild.

One that isn't necessary. This team is SUPER talented with attacking talent. All they need is an attacking scheme. Potter was the absolute right fit. Was he ever considered?

Potter had a big buyout. We weren't interested in paying it. I believe we were also looking for someone more "proven."

Lots of tweets about a possible Nuno sacking

Yeah, Crisis Talks going on today regarding Nuno's future.  Rumors that Conte might be in the fold. 

I'm all for Nuno leaving.  I think we've had a large enough sample size to know what his philosophy is, and it's not in keeping with Levy's statement about how Spurs "need to return to their DNA".  

Levy won't leave, but he's not helping matters either.  I was encouraged that he hired a Director, but it's looking like Paratici isn't the person he should have hired.  He's the antithesis of Spurs' philosophy.  It was head scratching when Levy hired someone that has no interest in his vision for the club.  Paratici is too "pragmatic". 

On the field, what's most damning is that Spurs need a midfield.  They need to cut ties with several players and go after several more.  This is the sum result of Levy's refusal to sign anyone from Jan 2018 to Summer 2019.  No depth, and no one prepared to step in.  

What happens in the next few weeks will be telling.  This is Levy's most crucial decision.

no reputable sources have reported this.

[DeepEastTexas 646]

It's official. Nuno is out.

Word is, Conte is on a private jet to London.

[midtown 3,355]

Spurs beating Manu or Newcastle to Conte is about the only thing they might do right in the last year

[Captain Ron 13,133]

[Captain Ron 13,133]

This is what's so baffling to me. Nuno was clearly the wrong choice from the start, yet he was the choice. That so many better choices were out there and they didn't amke them ... UGH.

nobody wants to come manage with levy and paratici pulling the strings. a conte hire and we'll just be doing this again in 18 (or less) months.

After last summers 4 manager tease I tend to agree but I got an alert from the score.  They don't tend to push out false stuff in my experience
