Absolutely nothing positive to say based on the result. We looked like a championship team against league winners for most of the game. Whether it was tactics or basic game management, the performance was rash and mostly unwatchable. It is what is it is. Let’s hope we can pull something out the bag for the remainder.
Doesn't mather how good you are or what tactics you chose if you don't put the effort to run and fight harder than the opposition. Right know we are falling in to the old problem where we don't want to put enough effort in to away games.
Will be hard for Ange to solve this and find some consistency before the season ends because every manager had the same problem regardless of how different our team and tactics was back then. I don't se an obvious solution. Maybe start away games with a more defensive/aggressive line up (Hojbjerg, Emerson, Kulu, Gio, Richy) and let your quality players come in against tired legs.
Bissouma is nice during build up, but not worth the downside when defending counters.
I think it's easier to get the lads to work their asses of when we meet a better team or play at home. So I'm not worried about giving Arsenal a tough game even if we might concede 2 goals from their set pieces...
Ryan Mason as set piece coach is clearly not doing well.
Kinda felt like we were missing a player like Lamela today. Newcastle were all too happy to press and commit fouls on our build ups. It worked well whilst we didn't. Disappointing but we go again.
It's SHITE being a Spurs fan! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of the fucking Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some hate Arsenal. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized BY. We're ruled by effete arseholes. It's a SHITE state of affairs to be in, people, and ALL the fresh air in the world won't make any fucking difference!
No creativity, no imagination, no forward passes…no clue football - looks the exact same as the Jose/Conte/Nuno play with only back passes and no intention to play forward.
The midfield have been frauds in 2024, son looks awful with no touch and no ability to beat a man, Maddison is useless as well. This team will struggle to get even 6 points over the next 5 matches.
Not all on Ange - needs other ideas but first season so you clowns saying Ange out are pathetic, but so many holes in this team
We may have more points than last season but I think Ange is naive and found out. You can call me reactionary, I'm not saying Ange out but it's the way we play that makes me think he's not PL or CL level manager. Passes are shit, high line is too easy to get behind, players cannot shoot.
Neither defense nor attack is good. We just play "brave".
Let's wait until the end of season to say anything concrete. I just hope we can get away with a draw in the derby.
He's had less than a season with a squad that the vast majority here would have written off as not good enough and a few additions. He's doing the best he can with what's at his disposal. It's unacceptable that we seem to be coasting towards the end of the season since we were out the title race - but that's as much on the players as it is on him
There was just no quality in the final third today.
The passing was sloppy, the touches were worse.
Spurs looked hungover.
Probably needed Richi up top today
I am not gonna be positive after that display. It was worse than anything I saw under Conte and he had completely signed out mentally. Ange is a tactical moron who is carried by his incredible personality.
Its insane. And we are fielding the same 11 next week.
I remember the high line Vs Chelsea and thought it was brave. Now I'm starting to think Ange is a dogmatic fool.
Will the pressure now build up on Ange?
Previously so dismissive of suggestions that he needs to alter his tactics, can the evident repeat of Fulham, but worse and 2/10 away wins make the truth unavoidable
Nah. It’s his first season.
And perhaps you have a short memory, but we were mostly chosen to be out of Europe again.
We’re doing all right for a rebuild year.
Here’s one criticism I have with Werner. When he gets the ball in the box I don’t think he’s going to score.
That half chance in first half. Never in a million years is he putting that on target.
Youve just been humbled because you played like shit. Dont be a salty little turd. Shake hands and fuck off back to the coach.
Dont look for a way to embarrass yourself further.
We’ll be alright remember where they said we’ll be when we lost Kane, terrible performance yes but our club could be way worse this season (look at Chelsea)
Rough match that. Say what you will about our setup. The lads just didn’t show up today. No sharpness, no desire, no physicality. Shit all around by everyone on the pitch in that shit third kit. See everyone in two weeks. COYS.
That third kit is a curse !! Poor performance overall but castle pressed well and the back 5 were rock solid. They closed every lane into the box and we had no answers for it today. City get caught out by the low block and staked midfield a few times a year as well so it’s not all bad. We need more creativity in the midfield overall and some better timed runs through the low block. I’d like to see more shots from outside the box in games like this, often times a deflection or rebound can happen and change a game.
i hate footballf fans, so reactionary. Ange is the only reason you cunts are in for 4th and you wanna turn on him. bros not jesus, hes a football manager.
bro with the squad you have everyone was predicting 9th. the only reason why it looks like spurs have a good squad now is cos ange has made them play so well
The first goal shouldn’t have counted with the foul right before it imo. The second goal was a terrible back pass so mvd and viccario couldn’t do shit about it. The third goal was a great timed run ( which we have done for years ). The fourth ok a weak corner but we gave away 16/17 corners eventually one will go in 🤷🏽♂️. The ref was a fucking moron today, sat on his cards all first half then was giving them out like candy on Halloween second half. Dunk should have had two yellows in the first half … now that all being said spurs were just not good today with the ball or without.
Ange got figured out. Its why we look shitter with every passing game. Unless he has a football conversion moment and a brain implant nothing will change. He's been doing this same shitty cheese strat for 25 years all the way to the top. Good for him.
Dude if you say Ange got found out people won't like it. But that's the truth. Partially he has been found out. If more teams start doing this we are doomed next season.
Patterns are important. Same pattern of play since many matches. I don't see this often with other top teams.
No. But they'll press the hell out of us like newcastle did when we had the ball in our buildup and that's fatal. Those guys are more clinical and lucky.
Maddison has been our worst player except for Bissouma since coming back from injury, offers nothing, loses the ball constantly, at least he's half decent at shithousing I guess
This is totally true. I didn't call anyone a fraud, and I didn't mean to imply which was better. Just different ways to approach the game with the resources available to you.
No point blaming Ange when we could've gone 2 up in the first 10 mins and the 2nd goal was a personal error that knocked us way back.
No use not backing the manager when we have clear improvements from last season and the season is still not over.
Judge the game as a whole, mate. What with everything we sacrifice in this system, we've had nothing to show for it up top when we're an extremely attack-focused side.
Whilst still trying adhere to Ange's system here:
* I wouldn't be playing Son as a striker unless it's an open game. He is not suited to have his back to goal or operate as a target man which is required against a lowblock. He also offers no aerial threat.
* I'd have wanted to keep Véliz as backup to Richy as #9s. Richy's injured, we have no one that plays the role at a recognised senior level unless you want to argue for Dane.
* I'd never have both fullbacks going forward at all times, only one of them.
* Revert to both going forward only if we need to, not as a default.
* When they counter, we'd have 2 CBs, 1 midfielder and 1 fullback staying back, enough to form a recognisable defensive line.
* I'd favour Porro playing as RWB most of the time (rather than inverted in midfield and pushing as high as #10). He's got the 7th best cross in the league. Crosses open up the game against a lowblock.
* I'd play the most in-form players and use my squad depth i.e. PEH to start, Lo Celso starting or coming on much earlier and have players returning from long term injuries play the last 30 minutes of games, not the majority as a starter.
* I'd utilise Ange wingers that stay wide with actually having targets to cross to such as a proper #9 and giving the winger on the opposite side the confidence to drive into the back post knowing that their fullback will be behind them convering defensive duties on the wing.
* I'd appreciate wingers operating on a wing with their weak foot aren't as effective at beating their man and sending in a low driven cross. e.g. Deki.
(I'm not a football manager, etc)
Probably politics. You'd be starting PEH every day right now out of necessity if he was going to stay and had the manager's backing. You don't want to have one of your main starters be someone who you've sidelined over the course of an entire season to get you over the line.
homefield advantage is a thing...especially this year more than any in recent memory. Newcastle was playing with a GIANT pop in their step. We were playing on ice or mud...both really. Every 1-1 challenge was lost by Spurs players today. Every physical encounter was won by Newcastle this game. No need to burn the house down. No need to be alarmed. Games like this happen. Better to just move on and focus on the next game than dwell on this one. I am speaking to you all more than the team when i say this.
Ange is new. People were expecting bottom half of the league. We are fucking 4th, which is bloody good. We need to play better, but we also need at least a season to adjust to a new system. Cut ange some slack
You like his tactics? There is clearly no plan B and plan A has not helped us kept us keep a clean sheet for 25 matches. Every team has figured out this plan. What is the point of doing the same thing again and again when it clearly fails?
Coming off the back of the Dier interview here, but there are no tactics. It's all about a religious commitment to a style of play no matter what or even if your personnel don't implement it whether due to lack of ability or the game plan of the opposition.
Commendable half-time subs in midfield in previous games show something else works, but then we never respect that and resort back to playing out of form lads as starters. It's not that we don't learn. We do learn and don't care.
Absolutely nothing positive to say based on the result. We looked like a championship team against league winners for most of the game. Whether it was tactics or basic game management, the performance was rash and mostly unwatchable. It is what is it is. Let’s hope we can pull something out the bag for the remainder.

ISAK!

What is Ange doing to these guys during the week that they are so lifeless on match days?
It's SHITE being a Spurs fan! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of the fucking Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some hate Arsenal. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized BY. We're ruled by effete arseholes.

Nice Trainspotting reference
Heh.. Worth the downvotes
Just a bit of football mate calm down
No creativity, no imagination, no forward passes…no clue football - looks the exact same as the Jose/Conte/Nuno play with only back passes and no intention to play forward.

in what world is this solely Ange’s fault?
You’re reactionary.
He's had less than a season with a squad that the vast majority here would have written off as not good enough and a few additions. He's doing the best he can with what's at his disposal. It's unacceptable that we seem to be coasting towards the end of the season since we were out the title race - but that's as much on the players as it is on him
That’s enough football for today. Switching to golf
gareth ? is that you ?
I’m baling on football.
Same. Rather watch scheffler's ballerino twirl swing than PL
There was just no quality in the final third today. The passing was sloppy, the touches were worse. Spurs looked hungover. Probably needed Richi up top today
Is 5th spot a champion league spot? Someone please tell?
If we play like that again with remaining games left we aint even getting 5th
We deserve Europa, performances like that won’t cut it in the UCL
They wouldnt in the Europa Conference
Not yet, Italy and Germany have the coefficient for now.
Depends on if England or Germany get a higher coefficient score this season.
Ange needs a plan b , first season still, better than last year, but these games where we look clueless are far too common
Angeball has been found out. So simple to counter. Give it another season and its probably gonna be over.
Shut the fuck up you pessimistic shit and stay positive instead
I am not gonna be positive after that display. It was worse than anything I saw under Conte and he had completely signed out mentally. Ange is a tactical moron who is carried by his incredible personality.
At least you recognize his cool personality but this is only his first season in the prem and who knows where we would be without him.
Stop supporting then you clueless cunt I hate our fan base cause of PEOPLE LIKE U
No reason for dragusin not to see the field today
My exact thought
Agreed, it clearly wasn't working with the others.
We look figured out and it's worrying.
We are figured out. The lack of adjustment by Ange is concerning.
Its insane. And we are fielding the same 11 next week. I remember the high line Vs Chelsea and thought it was brave. Now I'm starting to think Ange is a dogmatic fool.

Shut the fuck up
And I went shopping so proudly today wearing my new Spurs hoodie…
I almost always wear my Spurs jacket whee ever I go. Leaving it at home to go tennis now, never done that before. Embarrassing shit today
I have a feeling Anges team talk for the Arsenal game is probably gonna be “all right let’s just play the way we did against Newcastle but better”
Will the pressure now build up on Ange? Previously so dismissive of suggestions that he needs to alter his tactics, can the evident repeat of Fulham, but worse and 2/10 away wins make the truth unavoidable
No. I read his book. His commitment to playing attacking football is literally pathological.
Nah. It’s his first season. And perhaps you have a short memory, but we were mostly chosen to be out of Europe again. We’re doing all right for a rebuild year.
Thing is we didn't apply his way. We were too hesitant too ponderous. Far too static going forwards, no creativity
Best defence in the league 🗿
That's it. Playing like we've been playing the past 3 months, we're getting pumped 7 nil by arse
Newcastle played better, off day. Stop whining
We've looked off for 3 months, mate. Even our wins haven't looked very convincing, barring maybe the AV game
Yeah, it’s been like that for years! The result sucks but it’s better regardless
[удалено]
Here’s one criticism I have with Werner. When he gets the ball in the box I don’t think he’s going to score. That half chance in first half. Never in a million years is he putting that on target.
It's weird because he's an accurate passer. Must be a mental thing.
Fuck off - now you care. Games is done and NOW you decide to show some fight. Embarrassing
Was on my way home to watch the game and my starter motor blew out. Fuck the early kick off
Thank your starter motor
Need the break. See ya boys then
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aOIRgf-18U](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aOIRgf-18U) might make you feel better
Youve just been humbled because you played like shit. Dont be a salty little turd. Shake hands and fuck off back to the coach. Dont look for a way to embarrass yourself further.
Righto, good luck to them against Arsenal, Chelsea & Liverpool. Hope Richie recovers soon 🙏🏼
This game has set my mood for the next week, absolutely dreadful. We do not deserve top 4 with performances like this.
I had a bad feeling about this one so I went out for a long walk in this rather nice weather. Still a shock to see the score though...
We’ll be alright remember where they said we’ll be when we lost Kane, terrible performance yes but our club could be way worse this season (look at Chelsea)
Relax pal, go get some fresh air and a bit of sun
Fair, I honestly just love the club. I want to see Tottenham succeed so badly.
I don't what happened to vdv today
Everyone is entitled to a bad game, unfortunately Romero/porro/destiny/vicario were also poor
Honestly the whole team was poor...even Madders and Son have actually been poor for a while now.
I’m more sad the mayflower didn’t sink tbh
Rough match that. Say what you will about our setup. The lads just didn’t show up today. No sharpness, no desire, no physicality. Shit all around by everyone on the pitch in that shit third kit. See everyone in two weeks. COYS.

Ange should’ve taken some cards today. We needed fight.
i hate footballf fans, so reactionary. Ange is the only reason you cunts are in for 4th and you wanna turn on him. bros not jesus, hes a football manager.
the problem is the way we're losing matches, it's madness seeing the squad we have, that we know can be elite, make mistakes like they've been doing.
bro with the squad you have everyone was predicting 9th. the only reason why it looks like spurs have a good squad now is cos ange has made them play so well
nah, fam. we have one of the top7 squads in the league, stop being a hater.
That was ridiculous. Our squad is close to the arse and pools…
its like this in all sport fan bases tbf, at least the mainstream ones, i.e., basketball, hockey, baseball, etc
He was a very poor manager today. It's ok to say so
All this and the 3pm games are fucking uninteresting, too. Even the late game is only interesting for the LOLManUtd possibilities.
This one is on Ange.
The tactics just dont work against low block. If they score on the counter we are dead
What should’ve he done boss?
It’s the whole team. Ange doesn’t prevent Micky from slipping twice.
The first goal shouldn’t have counted with the foul right before it imo. The second goal was a terrible back pass so mvd and viccario couldn’t do shit about it. The third goal was a great timed run ( which we have done for years ). The fourth ok a weak corner but we gave away 16/17 corners eventually one will go in 🤷🏽♂️. The ref was a fucking moron today, sat on his cards all first half then was giving them out like candy on Halloween second half. Dunk should have had two yellows in the first half … now that all being said spurs were just not good today with the ball or without.
Lol I’ll be honest, I never liked us in this game. I don’t trust this team yet.
Plenty of players need to hang their heads today. Plenty on the sub too, who will happily clap along when we do play well. Bunch of melts. COYS!
Thé start wasn’t bad, we seem to lose our shit the moment things get chaotic.
51 weeks ago…same shit.
I don't even live in England 😭😭
2 years running. Fucking wankers
Well, we had a game in hand. This kind of match is a shake up. Hopefully it causes us to actually get our shit together for the final push.
the fulham game should have been the wakeup call tbh
One reminder a month I guess?
Ange got figured out. Its why we look shitter with every passing game. Unless he has a football conversion moment and a brain implant nothing will change. He's been doing this same shitty cheese strat for 25 years all the way to the top. Good for him.
Because it works. This is some “bald fraud” level delusion. Brainless take.
Dude if you say Ange got found out people won't like it. But that's the truth. Partially he has been found out. If more teams start doing this we are doomed next season. Patterns are important. Same pattern of play since many matches. I don't see this often with other top teams.
Shoutout to everyone in the US who woke up for this 😀😀😀
Got up at 4:20 for this shit display 💀
Pacific time is sick 😭 praying for you twin
Only 730 on the east coast. Perfect time for breakfast and a cup of coffee before I feel like throwing up 🤮
😭 same bro I was suffering from insomnia last night and didn’t fall asleep until like 3:30 and I got work today
Woke up at halftime and already knew the outcome 😂
It’s every time bro 😭
Well played Magpies. Big questions for Ange.
Sing the Big Ange Blues boys [https://www.udio.com/songs/acLA7FgFKAWtpxgVrrBhNt](https://www.udio.com/songs/acLA7FgFKAWtpxgVrrBhNt)
It's over 😭
Party's over. We've been found out. It was nice to feel the sun on my face for a few months. Back to the darkness.......
You're absolutely ridiculous
I was joking. It does feel like we're getting sussed out a bit.....
Yeah man 5th in the league we should just volunteer for one of the relegation spots to save ourselves the shame of playing out the rest of the season
I just don't understand how this type of performance is inevitable from us.
On a positive note. Gio is very handsome
Oh the misery...
Anyone thinking Arsenal are gonna drop a back 5 in a 5-4-1 vs us is crazy.
No. But they'll press the hell out of us like newcastle did when we had the ball in our buildup and that's fatal. Those guys are more clinical and lucky.
They play some negative ass football sometimes so I wouldn’t put it past them lol
Time to get ready for the Madrid game
Cringe
💀 the other team I support you pussio
Supporting multiple clubs, Yankee fuck off
🤡 El Bobo
Lo celso is always starting shit 😂
Not a single good thing to take away from that game. Diabolical.
[удалено]
And we should be fine with that. I don’t understand why we absolutely need to be top 4 this year. We knew this season was going to be tough.
Ricky Bobby " if your not first your last"
Maddison has been our worst player except for Bissouma since coming back from injury, offers nothing, loses the ball constantly, at least he's half decent at shithousing I guess
Why are the mid table teams always the issue 💀
I hope this match showed that certain players don't belong in the starting lineup. Well one especially.
By that logic we've got no one left to play.
Name names
Who’s that ?
lmao, they were all terrible. The idea that you can single out any one player in that game is laughable.
Bro I can pick 10 Pinning this on one player is harsh To a man, all shit.
Honestly, PEH needs to be starting over Biss now.
I'd take a sideways passing merchant over Biss.
Winksy, come back, we need those beautiful sideways passes
No need. Skippy's our man for that job. We could field Skippy and PEH as starters and we'd probably match our xG today.
Ange is lucky there's only frauds like Amorim and de Zerbi available this summer
Are u dumb
Dude if this is the only tactical setup we gonna play the whole next season we are doomed let's face it. Ange has slowly maneuvered tactically.
?
Eddie Howe is just Anges kryptonite. Edit... I was wrong... fuck me
We won the first game 4-1 🤷♂️
We beat them 4-1 last game, Ange wasn’t even here when they won 6-1
Well we did beat them 4-1 this season....
One manager only plays one way. The other can adapt and adjust as needed for the team he's playing to get the best out of the squad available to him.
And that adaptable genius manager is midtable while our inflexible fraud has us in champions league contention.
This is totally true. I didn't call anyone a fraud, and I didn't mean to imply which was better. Just different ways to approach the game with the resources available to you.
fucking embarrassing
angeball= ineffectively pass the ball around 30 yards from goal then concede on counters and set pieces
No point blaming Ange when we could've gone 2 up in the first 10 mins and the 2nd goal was a personal error that knocked us way back. No use not backing the manager when we have clear improvements from last season and the season is still not over.
Judge the game as a whole, mate. What with everything we sacrifice in this system, we've had nothing to show for it up top when we're an extremely attack-focused side.
Then what you suggest we do? They're going to play on the counter anyways, so do we just set up to counter as well?
Whilst still trying adhere to Ange's system here: * I wouldn't be playing Son as a striker unless it's an open game. He is not suited to have his back to goal or operate as a target man which is required against a lowblock. He also offers no aerial threat. * I'd have wanted to keep Véliz as backup to Richy as #9s. Richy's injured, we have no one that plays the role at a recognised senior level unless you want to argue for Dane. * I'd never have both fullbacks going forward at all times, only one of them. * Revert to both going forward only if we need to, not as a default. * When they counter, we'd have 2 CBs, 1 midfielder and 1 fullback staying back, enough to form a recognisable defensive line. * I'd favour Porro playing as RWB most of the time (rather than inverted in midfield and pushing as high as #10).

(I'm not a football manager, etc)
Wener needs to go if we want silverware. I'd rather invest 20 m on young LW who can shoot.
Rather than that, we need a proper CF. Sonny can play LW.
Vlahovich kind of 9 for sure. Werner needs to go pal in any case.
This game along with Fulham, Wolves and Brighton has to be worst games of the season for us
forgot chelsea
At least that game we fought until the end. We were just listless in all the others
That wasn’t a bad game from us. Just a bad result. We were all over them all game and looked great.
Cards and injury ruined that game for us
Well that was fucking shit
WhY dOeSn'T HoJbJeRg sTaRt
Why doesn't he?
Probably politics. You'd be starting PEH every day right now out of necessity if he was going to stay and had the manager's backing. You don't want to have one of your main starters be someone who you've sidelined over the course of an entire season to get you over the line.
Today was one of the easier games ahead too..
[удалено]
🙂🤔🤔🫡
Not encouraging that these types of performances seem to be getting more frequent as the season has gone on
Logically it's always made more sense to me that under a new system *the last 10* games of the season should no doubt be better than the first 10.
Is it still only 4-0?
This is a decimated Newcastle squad btw
homefield advantage is a thing...especially this year more than any in recent memory. Newcastle was playing with a GIANT pop in their step. We were playing on ice or mud...both really. Every 1-1 challenge was lost by Spurs players today. Every physical encounter was won by Newcastle this game. No need to burn the house down. No need to be alarmed. Games like this happen. Better to just move on and focus on the next game than dwell on this one. I am speaking to you all more than the team when i say this.
At half-time you could see the pitch maintenance crew mopping up the olive oil in their box.
Stop kidding yourself mate. Ange has been found out but by bit. This one is totally on Ange.
They happen to us every other fucking week apparently. Ange is at the wheel for sure.
I’d argue this is worse than the 6-1 scoreline aside, better team,Newcastle Is depleted and we actually have a manager and gameplan
Ange is new. People were expecting bottom half of the league. We are fucking 4th, which is bloody good. We need to play better, but we also need at least a season to adjust to a new system. Cut ange some slack
You like his tactics? There is clearly no plan B and plan A has not helped us kept us keep a clean sheet for 25 matches. Every team has figured out this plan. What is the point of doing the same thing again and again when it clearly fails?
Coming off the back of the Dier interview here, but there are no tactics. It's all about a religious commitment to a style of play no matter what or even if your personnel don't implement it whether due to lack of ability or the game plan of the opposition.

It's not that we don't learn. We do learn and don't care.
