This team is terrible
Can't score. Can't defend. Fantastic combination

Zero depth. Guys playing that have no legs anymore. Shit, look at the bench at this point.

I'd also add that we've seen that Son at Striker doesn't work at all. He doesn't offer any hold up play that we need to do anything outside of direct counters.

How can son miss that?

Son, Kulusevski, and Porro are guys who's play has noticeably dipped as they've played way too much.

There's plenty of parallels between this team and damn near the same thing happening to West Ham and Newcastle on the past couple years where a lack of depth plus European competition leads to a ton of injuries abd dropping way down the table from the previous season.

The club has repeatedly said Ange is safe, but I don't know how he can't be put in review along with the rest of the club. 

Physios, scouts, all support personnel and the coaching staff need to be assessed.

Injuries aren't just bad luck, sure there's some element of happenstance, but it's also training techniques, staff response to injuries, recovery periods, etc...

It's not just injuries causing this downfall. There's more to it. 

Levy needs to review the whole club. Probably best if he facilitates a sale. I don't know that the club still holds his interest the way it used to.

And we weren't. The rash of injuries occured and then we fell down the table.

5 points out of a possible 24 in our last 8 EPL matches. 

 

Which has turned into 5 in 27 and if this holds 5 in 30. If you go back to just before this, the win against Man City pushed Spurs into 6th. We lost Vicario (the first of many) and the fall started.

The Robbies absolutely ripped Ang

Cool. Reminds me a lot of analysis from national guys when they cover Texas.

What were their solutions? It’s easy to say “oh he’s terrible” but without a solution what’s the point.

Did they also acknowledge the fact that Tottenham has so many injuries and are run into the ground?

i dunno. maybe think about changing your style of play so it doesn’t require all out effort from your already gassed and depleted team to be successful?

back 3 today? cool. but you’ve got acres of space in midfield because we keep pressing and can’t recover, leaving a depleted back line repeatedly exposed.

injuries are a big part of the story but ange’s stubbornness shouldn’t be ignored.

And I get part of the reason spurs are run into the ground is Ange. But at the same time we don’t have the talent to just shuffle in a 2nd wave of players. Youth players we still lose. I’m not even sure playing ultra defensive is the answer either.

don’t think we’ll ever know. but we know the way we’re doing it now isn’t.

He has made adjustments. Coaches by and large don't completely change their systems, especially mid-season.

ya but the good ones are capable/willing to do more than keep their wing backs slightly more narrow or pushed forward 10 fewer yards.

Romero and VdV - end of January/beginning of Feb
