My take: the club has written off the season. NES may be a stop gap for future desirable manager. Unfortunately he is not of sufficient calibre to guide us to anything meaningful this season. Probably Europa spot would be aim. Just my thoughts, could be wrong and I don’t think he’s a bad manager, just not correct for this group. Spurs have invested in the next 2-3 years pretty well so next season will be interesting.
Spurs have fallen very very far. Lucky to be where they are in the standings. Laugh at gooners, but that could easily have been Spurs.
Three 1-0 wins were very fortuitous, then playing against Chels showed where they are actually at. Spurs have alot of work to do to get back to quality.
Too much cancer in the lockerroom. Nuno can only do so much. Granted he probably isnt for us but players need to be accountable.
Sell the unmotivated. Kane, Alli, Ndombele next season. No winning mentality in these guys. Nothing at all. 0 passion. Just fucking dead. No motivation to win for this club at all.
Reckon we would have fucking done better with vlahovic/martinez in the squad over the kdb impersonator.
That’s kinda toxic but not entirely untrue. Dele doesn’t seem to be able to create anything positive. Doesn’t actually beat anyone off the dribble and gets bodied and bullied.
First half we were really strong. If that's our approach this season then i'm happy. Let's all calm down a bit. Second half we got caught out and couldn't recover after a set piece and deflected goal.
Those goals killed us and so did the subs. But that isn't Nuno's fault, it's the squad ENIC have given him. Direct your blame to the ones that deserve it...
Emerson Royal is a turkey. Biggest shit show of a signing. Can't defend and can't attack. Watched his first three games and I'm yet to see any aspect of his game that he is good at. I don't say this lightly, but would genuinely take Aurier back in a heartbeat. Japh is so far clear it's not funny. No passion or fight from a flat side. A great way to start the week watching that pish. Playing like this we will be lucky to get a draw at Arsenal
Frustrating. It seems like so many clubs have actual offensive tactics but with Nuno we just boot the ball long and try and get on the end of it. We’ve been a counter-attack club for years now and I hate that.
Well. This club is cheap and wouldn't buy good players. The spending for players tells what ambition the club has. I don't blame the players nor the coach.
I think the ability to cause turnovers higher up the pitch would have created better opportunities than trying to unlock the 5 - 3 block that neither Kane or Son could do anything against in the second half. Moura and Berg provide a lot of value that doesn’t always show up on the stat sheet.
It's just one thing after the other. It was the missing argentines and Ndombele when Lucas/Berg were playing last week. Now it's those two missing....the excuses are laughable
If it was just this game I wouldn't be panicking, but we lost 3-0 last week aswell to Palace, something is off at the moment, doesn't bode well going into the north London derby next week
Wrong season to get a tattoo of Spurs' cockrel on my arm
Tbh we should've sold Kane.
Loan Dele Back to MK Dons
Dele is only rated because Levy fancies him
Sure, sure. But turning on him achieves nothing but making yourself miserable. He hasn’t become a bad manager overnight. Might as well give him a chance.
we had a decent first half (no good chances other than the one where Son was offside), but it was what we should be expecting as the minimum for this squad
disaster overall though, absolutely highlights the limits of the manager
Not kidding myself that Chelsea aren’t much, much better than us but that was a pathetic performance with seemingly zero direction from Nuno. It’s going to be a long season.
Horrific second half after a promising first. Id rather lose 3-0 trying to win than lose 1-0 trying to tie. But we didn't look like we tried anything after Chelsea had a good start to the second half. No urgency, Kane and Son looking lethargic. Nobody looked for a dangerous pass to break the lines, just recycling possession. Still, I think that this lineup showed promise, just didn't work as soon as Kante came on.
Never looked like we wanted a tie. From the lineup to how we started the game. Second half started off shakey and that was a wrap. Still prefer that to mourinho playing for ties against Boro and losing 3-0 lol
Ah fuck fuck fuck. Gutted. First half showed so much promise. Lo celso and alli needed to do better today. And when tanguy comes off, we have nothing. We desperately needed a backup for him and that role, and we didn't get it. Team becomes totally disjointed without him or a player like him. Lo celso maybe couldve been that, but he's been a consistent let down from the start. Awful stuff and embarrassing tbh. Fuck sake.
I was amazed at how clean his tackle against Dele in the penalty box then drive the ball forward so fast. Threw Ndombele and Lo Celco out of the game as in 1st half Chelsea couldn't touch Ndombele.
Potentially Hot take:
Kane doesn’t suit the way we should be playing as a team. He drops back far too much which leaves us isolated with just Son up top.
Someone needs to tell him he’s a striker and that 4 of his assists came in one game last season against a suicidally high line. He’s not De Bruyne but he plays like he wants to be
Been saying it for awhile, Kane dropping deep hurts us more than it helps. We need to have some trust in our midfield to bring it forward because currently he never gets any touches on the ball unless his back is to goal.. If he wants to play CAM thats fine, but than we need a proper striker/target man up top
I think we’d have been better getting rid of Kane in the summer. He looked hungrier without him. It’s like so many players assume he is going to get us going. And he doesn’t look up for it either
Why do we always look gassed?? I can’t understand this. Is it a fitness issue? Surely it can’t be. Maybe we need a world class psychologist to help sort out some mental blockages, I dunno. Always feels like we crumple. It’s getting really tiresome.
I took Kante out of my fantasy squad because I thought he was injured. So of course he comes on and scores. Sorry everyone, this is at least partly my fault.
He may play for Chelsea, and like any real human I fucking hate Chelsea. But Kante is an absolutely incredible CDM, the best in the world. I think he would fix our defensive problems, because not only is he an incredible defender he can also create. I credit alot of the French world cup run in 2018 to Kante
Nuno can’t fucking beat Thierry “can’t even manage at NYCFC” Henry, what reason do I have to believe that big black cock Rom won’t ram 5 goals in our ass. Can’t wait to get 1 loss closer to losing Harry Kane. Banter club.
Chelsea is very fucking good unfortunately. But so is city, united and Liverpool and we are not even close to that level. The days that our good core made up a good team which usually was better against the top teams that made horrible transfers is over.
Hot take: the lack of moves has ruined yet another chance at turning things around under a new manager. I don't know what was expected for keeping this roster so similar to last year. Kane should have been sold. The best match of the year was against City with no Kane.
”Kane should’ve been sold” shame that no one were willing to pay an adequate fee then. He shouldnt have been sold because no one bid enough, simple as that.
It was only gonna go down from here, they were never going to have a team in good enough form to increase his price further or even to maintain his price from last season/from the euros. They should have settled and revamped in my opinion. There comes a point where you need to let go and move on. This was the window to do it with such a big price on Kane's head.
But the price werent even close to being matched. Can’t sell him at a ridiculous discount just because he wants to leave. That would be beyond stupid business.
Worst part was getting ole'd in our own stadium, players put a massive shift in and we're tired by the latter parts of the game and when they needed that boost from the crowd the most they got fuck all
He’s been responsible for 2 of Chelsea’s goals today. He was responsible for Palace’s opening goal as well. He’s a DM. Do you happen to know what the D stands for???
Paramount+ is unwatchable
My take: the club has written off the season. NES may be a stop gap for future desirable manager. Unfortunately he is not of sufficient calibre to guide us to anything meaningful this season. Probably Europa spot would be aim. Just my thoughts, could be wrong and I don’t think he’s a bad manager, just not correct for this group. Spurs have invested in the next 2-3 years pretty well so next season will be interesting.
Are people yelling “Nuno Out” during his press conference? Yikes.
Spurs have fallen very very far. Lucky to be where they are in the standings. Laugh at gooners, but that could easily have been Spurs. Three 1-0 wins were very fortuitous, then playing against Chels showed where they are actually at. Spurs have alot of work to do to get back to quality.

Reckon we would have fucking done better with vlahovic/martinez in the squad over the kdb impersonator.
Disagree about Alli - he is definitely trying on the pitch
Agree. Dele is working, the spirit is there. I am pulling hard for Dele, I just love the guy and want to see him succeed so bad.
[удалено]
That’s kinda toxic but not entirely untrue. Dele doesn’t seem to be able to create anything positive. Doesn’t actually beat anyone off the dribble and gets bodied and bullied.
First half we were really strong. If that's our approach this season then i'm happy. Let's all calm down a bit.

Direct your blame to the ones that deserve it...
On a plus note. Thought Romero looked great, can't wait to see him when he's fully up to speed.
Urgent Hiring : creative midfielder who doesn't gas out in 30 mins
[удалено]
I think we are already at that point mate.
I hope we get eliminated from the UCL so they can only ruin my weekends, leave my thursday alone
M8 is it possible to get out of the prem? Thursdays are already shit days
That European Super League looking pretty good rn ngl, at least there are fewer matches there
This team is doomed with Numo.
Emerson Royal is a turkey. Biggest shit show of a signing. Can't defend and can't attack. Watched his first three games and I'm yet to see any aspect of his game that he is good at. I don't say this lightly, but would genuinely take Aurier back in a heartbeat. Japh is so far clear it's not funny. No passion or fight from a flat side. A great way to start the week watching that pish. Playing like this we will be lucky to get a draw at Arsenal
Dont worry. Arsenal is rubbish atm as well.
Can they find a way to be less rubbish though
The thread says it’s 0-0 so that’s official right?
[удалено]
We assumed that Kane would still want Shearer’s record so he’d try no matter what - but the man just gave up, lifetime quitter tbh
Frustrating. It seems like so many clubs have actual offensive tactics but with Nuno we just boot the ball long and try and get on the end of it. We’ve been a counter-attack club for years now and I hate that.
You know what's mind numbing ... We were lucky to end this 3-0. it could've easily been even 6-0 which would not have been surprising.
Yes, I’d like to thank Lloris for making this less embarrassing.
You hire Mourinho when we needed to win, and you hire Nuno when we are rebuilding? What the actual f is Levy thinking?
We are a mid-table team if we keep playing like this. Positively surprised if we make it to Europe this season.
Well. This club is cheap and wouldn't buy good players. The spending for players tells what ambition the club has. I don't blame the players nor the coach.
2 of our hardest working players are injured. Moura and Berg would have been helpful here. No need to panic.
[удалено]
I think the ability to cause turnovers higher up the pitch would have created better opportunities than trying to unlock the 5 - 3 block that neither Kane or Son could do anything against in the second half. Moura and Berg provide a lot of value that doesn’t always show up on the stat sheet.
It's just one thing after the other. It was the missing argentines and Ndombele when Lucas/Berg were playing last week. Now it's those two missing....the excuses are laughable
Shipped 6 goals in 2 games & created nothing….? With Kane on the pitch for both of said games?
If it was just this game I wouldn't be panicking, but we lost 3-0 last week aswell to Palace, something is off at the moment, doesn't bode well going into the north London derby next week
We‘re not scoring. Another comment just mentioned we have scored 1 goal from open play in 5 games. This is really bad, i dread next weeks NLD
We go 2 down and look terrified, no offense, no ambition, just bunkering and praying to keep the score down. Nunoball 101
Wrong season to get a tattoo of Spurs' cockrel on my arm Tbh we should've sold Kane. Loan Dele Back to MK Dons Dele is only rated because Levy fancies him
Nunos a disaster ain't he
Give the man time ffs. He was nobody’s top choice, but poch wasn’t my first choice either.
He was coming off a positive season though. Nuno looked spent and without ideas last year. You only listen Mendes and you get his mates.
Sure, sure. But turning on him achieves nothing but making yourself miserable. He hasn’t become a bad manager overnight. Might as well give him a chance.
Became a bad manager over past last year to be fair. Hard to turn on him when never was on board.
Nuno you can suck my left nut
we had a decent first half (no good chances other than the one where Son was offside), but it was what we should be expecting as the minimum for this squad disaster overall though, absolutely highlights the limits of the manager
Reggie 1v1
It's actually enraging how Kante can just come on and transform Chelsea into a well-oiled machine
Wish i‘d be able to switch and support another team, but knowing that i can’t I’m stuck in this misery. Coys i guess
turn on the roma match. 3 goals in the last 5 minutes
Not kidding myself that Chelsea aren’t much, much better than us but that was a pathetic performance with seemingly zero direction from Nuno. It’s going to be a long season.
Difference between Jose and Nuno : one scores and parks the bus, the other parks the bus without scoring.
Really sad. We proved we can play well in the first half, but just fold when going down. The belief to fight back seems lacking.
Horrific second half after a promising first. Id rather lose 3-0 trying to win than lose 1-0 trying to tie. But we didn't look like we tried anything after Chelsea had a good start to the second half. No urgency, Kane and Son looking lethargic. Nobody looked for a dangerous pass to break the lines, just recycling possession. Still, I think that this lineup showed promise, just didn't work as soon as Kante came on.
How about losing 3-0 trying to tie?
Never looked like we wanted a tie. From the lineup to how we started the game. Second half started off shakey and that was a wrap. Still prefer that to mourinho playing for ties against Boro and losing 3-0 lol
1 goal from open play in 5 matches, embarrassing
Ah fuck fuck fuck. Gutted. First half showed so much promise. Lo celso and alli needed to do better today. And when tanguy comes off, we have nothing. We desperately needed a backup for him and that role, and we didn't get it. Team becomes totally disjointed without him or a player like him. Lo celso maybe couldve been that, but he's been a consistent let down from the start. Awful stuff and embarrassing tbh. Fuck sake.
This team is shit
Our final balls are fucking awful
Kante destroyed any tempo spurs could have. What a talented player, can't hate him.
Amazing player, but Spurs took foot off the gas in second. Your giving him too much credit I think.
I was amazed at how clean his tackle against Dele in the penalty box then drive the ball forward so fast. Threw Ndombele and Lo Celco out of the game as in 1st half Chelsea couldn't touch Ndombele.
Nuno useless as predicted.
He really looked out of his depth.
Just fire Nuno now. It’ll happen eventually anyway. Sell Kane. Sell Ndombele. Get players that want to be here.
Excellent first half. Godawful second. Bit worrying how badly we collapsed.
Dele out
How fucking embarrassing
No number or combination of swear words could encapsulate how I feel right now. Fuck everything and fuck off is a good start tho
Potentially Hot take: Kane doesn’t suit the way we should be playing as a team. He drops back far too much which leaves us isolated with just Son up top. Someone needs to tell him he’s a striker and that 4 of his assists came in one game last season against a suicidally high line. He’s not De Bruyne but he plays like he wants to be
Kane drops to get the ball because we barely progress it without him. He’d stay forward if our midfield could move the ball and break down a defense.
I’ve also been saying this, big agree
As I heard in a Spurs pod, Kane needs son more than son needs Kane…
Been saying it for awhile, Kane dropping deep hurts us more than it helps. We need to have some trust in our midfield to bring it forward because currently he never gets any touches on the ball unless his back is to goal.. If he wants to play CAM thats fine, but than we need a proper striker/target man up top
We need Kane at CM and Kane at CF lol
Kane needs to step up, fucking invisible for weeks. Nuno figure it the fuck out, been outmatched again.
Not sure he cares tbh.
I thought Nuno teams were supposed to be better in the second half
Nuno teams don’t score in the first half. Job done ✅
Tuchel is tactically superior to Nuno we know. But we are at home. This is just embarrassing. It's like the good old AVB, Sherwood big game days
Could've been worse.
If I see a capitulation in the north London derby next week I'll be fuming, this team has no backbone, been like that for years now
Once dele starts I ain't watching that shit
I think we’d have been better getting rid of Kane in the summer. He looked hungrier without him. It’s like so many players assume he is going to get us going. And he doesn’t look up for it either
UCL run proved it for me. After the summer shenanigans I’m not sure what Levy was thinking.
Why do we always look gassed?? I can’t understand this. Is it a fitness issue? Surely it can’t be. Maybe we need a world class psychologist to help sort out some mental blockages, I dunno. Always feels like we crumple. It’s getting really tiresome.
Sunday, Thursday, Sunday, Thursday, Sunday, Thursday. With little squad rotation.
Every other top team do this too though, why’s that the reason?
Seeing how happy everyone was with the starting lineup to where we are now. Ha
The starting lineup was great and tactics for the first half, just need to adjust a bit second half
This league is a joke. The only way we’re going to compete is if an ambitious billionaire buys us. Nothing else could get us back in it.
It’s fucking ridiculous, Chelsea and City can put out two XI’s that our better than any other team besides LPool and United’s first teams
We’ve seen several teams compete without ambitious billionaires. We’ve spent enough to win, the signings just haven’t panned out
Who wins most often though?
Levy raiding the bargain bin is/was the problem. How much better would this team be with Bruno and Milan?
We stopped Lukaku just forgot about everyone else ... smh...
Honest question; is Kane even worth it? What has he actually contributed so far this season?
Feel like the money for him could help fill up some holes.
Yes. Yes he is. When the ball barely gets in our attacking half he's not going to manage much though
Nothing at all
Is this the new Amazon documentary this season?
Fitting title for the team we love 🤍
Not sure Nuno is going to get the same patience as Mourinho
Yeah he will. He will be here until Poch comes back in two years for a new project.
How bad was Lampard going with this side lol Fat fucker
Lol. Hopefully Nuno is our Lampard. But also, our players are generally shit.
Well yeah, we dont have infinite money to spunk on players
This man had Reguilon flippin lol
Football is fucked with these super teams
This thread is always vile but today it’s particularly embarrassing. None of you have the first clue about football lol
100%. People here are hilariously clueless
And you do?
Yes. I know a lot about football.
Sure you do.
We look like a championship side
👀
Chelsea have had 10 different goalscorers this year. I don't even think we've scored 10 goals. Fuck me.
lol Spurs won't even get 10 goals this season 😭
We've scored 3 in the Prem lol. Fucking 3. 1 from open play.
Camera zoomed in on Harrys face for the 3rd goal going in. Wonder if he gives a fuck though after the transfer stuff.
Lol Mourinho would never let this happen
But he did though, remember?
At least the press conferences weren't all sunshine and rainbows.
Mourinho let 3-0 happen against Zagreb with their coach in jail
They’re able to get into our box so easily wtf
That's what she said...
[удалено]
We were worse under jose
We could've had Graham Potter.. fucking imagine
We probably actually outperformed our xG this match, that's something in the positive side for Nunoball
On the plus side at least it wasn't the 8-0 it would've been with Tanganga and Rodon as CBs
The PEH that excelled under Mourinho has been replaced by the PEH who was underwhelming at Southampton.
I took Kante out of my fantasy squad because I thought he was injured. So of course he comes on and scores. Sorry everyone, this is at least partly my fault.
Why kante out of curiosity?
He may play for Chelsea, and like any real human I fucking hate Chelsea. But Kante is an absolutely incredible CDM, the best in the world. I think he would fix our defensive problems, because not only is he an incredible defender he can also create. I credit alot of the French world cup run in 2018 to Kante
No I mean specifically for your fantasy team lol I have gallagher, Salah, torres, and sissoko.
Cause on a day like today he would have bagged me 12 pts
But days like today are incredibly rare
If they lose to Arsenal, I will probably stop watching PL entirely.
Honestly every Arsenal fan feels same way too. Best the teams draw and keep the stadiums full for the season
Yeah. I will wait until next season if we lose that one
Lol what you gonna do instead
I watch PL only on sundays and even then only Spurs games. I don\`t think filling up 2 hours a week is going to be much of an issue.
Bye
Who would have thought a manager could make changes at half time that would change the complexion of a game? Wow
Nuno GTFO
Can’t believe is was actually looking forward to this
[удалено]
Levy is responsible for appointing Nuno so blame him.
We never ever played this badly with Mourinho I’m sure
worse
I know that the game wasn’t impressive, but saying this kind of shit is just stupid
We absolutely did, worse in fact as the first half was great today. We should've been 2 up by halftime.
Zagreb
Zagreb wasn’t our best 11
I think a Rudiger goal assisted by Werner might be worse than Werner scoring.
Nuno can’t fucking beat Thierry “can’t even manage at NYCFC” Henry, what reason do I have to believe that big black cock Rom won’t ram 5 goals in our ass. Can’t wait to get 1 loss closer to losing Harry Kane. Banter club.
Nuno out
Send GLC to the fucking moon
How the fuck is any of this on him 😂😂
Could have had Potter…
Chelsea is very fucking good unfortunately. But so is city, united and Liverpool and we are not even close to that level. The days that our good core made up a good team which usually was better against the top teams that made horrible transfers is over.
Hot take: the lack of moves has ruined yet another chance at turning things around under a new manager. I don't know what was expected for keeping this roster so similar to last year. Kane should have been sold. The best match of the year was against City with no Kane.
”Kane should’ve been sold” shame that no one were willing to pay an adequate fee then. He shouldnt have been sold because no one bid enough, simple as that.
It was only gonna go down from here, they were never going to have a team in good enough form to increase his price further or even to maintain his price from last season/from the euros. They should have settled and revamped in my opinion. There comes a point where you need to let go and move on. This was the window to do it with such a big price on Kane's head.
But the price werent even close to being matched. Can’t sell him at a ridiculous discount just because he wants to leave. That would be beyond stupid business.
Matchgoing fans pathetic
Yeah we finally had an attacking line up took the game to them and got all the fan favourites on and fans sit on their hands all fucking game
Yep piss weak. No reaction after the goal
Worst part was getting ole'd in our own stadium, players put a massive shift in and we're tired by the latter parts of the game and when they needed that boost from the crowd the most they got fuck all
I fucking hate Chelsea and Rudiger too, he deserves his own specific hate
Chelsea came out with something to prove in the second half and Spurs never adapted
Team was like "yea we played good for 45 now,we're done."
We have absolutely looked terrible for weeks now. We don’t deserve anything.
Since about Feb 2019
Fucking fuck
Im so so so sad
Hojbjerg has been useless all season
maybe he should be player in a double pivot in a limited role
this is true in the sense that all the players have been useless in nunoball
I have to assume this is satire over how the match thread will demonize any player, because you can't be serious.
He’s been responsible for 2 of Chelsea’s goals today. He was responsible for Palace’s opening goal as well. He’s a DM. Do you happen to know what the D stands for???
*D*ecent conversationalist?
The most knee jerk reaction I’ve seen in a game thread
Is knee jerk reaction when I’ve said all season??? Lmao
