January 15Jan 15 Just now, Captain Ron said: Well can't call that one BS, beyond the fact it should have been saved. Sigh. Horrible turnover by Yves.
January 15Jan 15 Given the injuries - this was likely the best we could have hoped for. I mean maybe a draw was possible, but I didn't see it.

January 19Jan 19 Author 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.
January 19Jan 19 He has a whole side of the net and only put that one on the ground. That needed some air on it. Force a good save.
January 19Jan 19 Author 2 minutes ago, midtown said: How can son miss that? Son, Kulusevski, and Porro are guys who's play has noticeably dipped as they've played way too much.
January 19Jan 19 This team is gassed. We're done here simply because this team doesn't have the energy to come back from 2 down

January 19Jan 19 Author 1 minute ago, midtown said: Embarrassing Solanke, Johnson, Werner, Odobert, Bissouma, Bentacur, Udogie, VDV, Romero, Vicario all out.
January 19Jan 19 Author 2 minutes ago, midtown said: Well they weren't out all year. We shouldn't be 15th to begin with 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.
January 19Jan 19 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.

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.
January 19Jan 19 Ok, this is going to hold. I would be interested to see how our injuries started stacking up, but yeah we are just thinner than paper right now.
January 19Jan 19 Fuck--I'm going to be there next week to see us play Leicester, and it's starting to look more and more like a critical battle to avoid relegation.

January 19Jan 19 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.

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