    To a degree. They are probably the 2nd best team in the league to be fair. We just have not really completed tonight, which for a NLD is a bit poor.

    So many still half-arsing ****.

    Seriously just **** off.

    Bergvall is showing them all up. A ****ing 18 year old is the only player on the pitch in a Spurs shirt with some actual bollocks about him.

    In SOME games there is...hence my view on us being inconsistent.

    The Liverpool performance was excellent. We played pretty well v Newcastle and were a little unlucky tbf.

    But it is what it is. I'm still of the view we need to give him time like we did with burkinshaw in the 70s

    Weirdly, the other day I heard Ange compared to Martin Jol

    As an insult

    Way too simplistic to say it’s just inconsistency.

    I know you like and rate Ange but he’s part of the problem rather than a solution for me. League results are dire and only getting worse.

    Lewis-Skelly booked when he's not playing. Not for the first time.
    He and Rice are subbed for Merino and Zinchenko.

    It's not inconsistency alone imo.

    We've looked like deer in the headlights since the first minute.

    That's on the manager. He can't seem to mentally prepare his players for these occasions.

    He doesn’t come across as a great motivator to me.

    I'm more baffled how people use Martin Jol as an insult

    He was like an inverted **** sandwich, considering who was either side of him

    That's only a part of the problem. And if the squad had been better managed then some of those players would have been rested

    Some of which is down to his "system" , some
    to his incompetent squad management.

    But you’ve said yourself we’re inconsistent, so good and bad results are gonna happen, that doesn’t necessarily mean improvements are on the horizon. I’m not really seeing anything substantially improving or beginning to improve to think “over x amount of games or time we’ll be considerably better”.

    Gabriel booked for hauling down Solanke, which he's been doing all night.
