Tottenham Hotspur Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 25/26

Jaysus lads we are in dire straits. I don’t know what to say.

I think we will beat atletico and proceed to next round. Draw with Liverpool. Beat Forrest beat hammers. All of this will be a distant memory.

As long as we keep 11 players on the pitch.

The question isn't "if we are good enough to get out of the Championship next season", but rather, "How will the players, manager and squad cope when they realise that for every other opponent, a game against Spurs will be a cup game?" Most noticeably, recently, this happened Leeds. Every game, especially the away games, were just opposition fans baying for blood (metaphorically) and their players responding and playing above themselves. That's the hard part.

Absolutely.
Levy, the board, the DOF and previous DOF, the medical team, Frank, Ange, the majority of the players especially the senior players, all have to take a level of blame for the state we are in.

However Tudor knows he has somewhat of a free pass here as the club was such a shite show before he joined, but he should be called out for the severely limited coach that he is.
If we lose against pool and Forrest, is that the stage we start planning for the championship?

Is 5 consecutive PL defeats the worst ever run for Spurs?

Jesus lads, can we stop catastrophising? Firstly, there’s the parachute payments, secondly, there’s enormous non football related income but, third and most important, our wages to revenue ratio is 42%. Our revenue could halve and it would still be a lower ratio than Villa are somehow getting away with.

Maybe Levy was preparing us for the championship all along? It might explain the current omnishambles.

Baring a miracle we will go down,

But to suggest we will be paupers is mad, we will still fill the stadium in the championship, we have huge off football revenue

Sell half the usless fcuks, relegation would be bad but not the be end , maybe the purge that is needed , but one I would not rather see

The only hope we have is to sack Tudor and get some one in who knows the league

Harry unfortunately is now a 🦕, genuinely would Sherwood be a bad shout for two months

I firmly believe if we could scrape one win from somewhere we would go on a run and be safe , fans need to give this team one last push regardless of what we all think,

It’s astonishing to see how much players rule, I mean VDV now thinks he is prime baresi and to good for this club, Romero the same , two gobshites and their red cards

Pair of lads should be made stay and play for u21 next year ,

I heard Paul Robinson say last week, you can only circle a drain for so long before you fall in, how true is that ,

A little FA cup win this weekend would have been the tonic.

Leeds in a sticky patch and they just won 3-0, clean sheet etc...bit of momentum, while we look forward to Athletico

Totally agree, the business model would simply scale down to make money in the championship until we get relegated again in 20 years time. Enic is 100% the problem.

I hope we don't equal our most consecutive defeats in the PL record. I've since found out it's 6 matches, which occurred in the 1994/95 season.

Let’s hope we don’t have to find out!

I dont think its something we are going to have to worry about as Atletico we beat us comfortably in both legs but id say the vast majority would be in agreement with you.

Honestly, We should play half a dozen kids and rest anyone half important to the remaining league games.

Exactly, that's the worst part, let's catastrophe IF it actually happens, I find the great irony in the media the last few days the pile in is sensational, it's for viewership, even now nobody genuinely believes it's going to happen, so they're getting their click bait in now before the inevitable recovery

And id be one of them.

I can understand why the club hired him initially... but the performances since he took over have been worse then they were under Frank, worse.

Tudor may well be a very decent manager, and if we werent running out of road (games) then I wouldnt even be writing this but the players are on the floor and need lifting and we have maybe 7 games to do that in at best. Within the next 3 epl games,if results for us and the other relegation team continue as they have then it will be mathematically out of our hands.

Will Tudour lift the players in the next 3 or 4 games and get us a win. Almost definitely not. Id say theres a 10-15% chance at best.

Will a new manager lift the players. Maybe and its only a maybe but we have got to do something and unfortunately it has to be dramatic and it has to be a 'Hail Mary'.

Good shout from Tudor for Kinsky.
Bad shout from Tudor dropping Solanke and not starting Xavi.

No pressing from the front and no creativity.
