100%. I put that last 15 mins down to basically have 10 players on the pitch and no subs. But really encouraging performance.

What an insane gut punch. That’s our best performance playing actual football as we know it, for 7 months. I have faith we can win games now, but we may not have enough games left.

Can Roberto De Zerbi's Tactics SAVE Tottenham? YouTube video by The Adam Clery Football Channel

Great video from Adam Cleary. If you want a slice of positivity, watch from 10:39 onwards. There are some attempts to change shape and find solutions, but the confidence levels just let us down. I’m certain we’ll see a little more on Saturday.

We all watched Xavi Simons waltz through Atletico in our stadium a few weeks ago. They’re now in the CL semi finals. Surely RBZ has to just commit and select him for our remaining games?

How bad analytics built a Tottenham team that might get relegated Tottenham are really bad and looking at the way this team has been constructed, one thing clearly stands out: This team is really bad at passing the ball, and that may explain their present malaise.

Like it. Either way, he can’t go with that half-hearted selection he went with v Sunderland. Our last win came playing at home with not much to lose. We have to try and replicate that.

What a mad take. We all know modern capitalism (and AI) is designed for us to keep working outdated numbers of hours, feel pressured to do more than we need, all for greater profits at the top. Tech advances SHOULD be giving us more time back, but that’s not what the big business actually want.

Our current predicament is the compounding of poor decisions, strategy and recruitment done years ago, but also earlier this season. RDZ can do his best but he has to unravel months of damage in a matter of days if we are to survive.

A crisis that started under Frank when we started playing fear-based football, afraid of our own shadow in our own stadium.

I’m excited about what’s possible under RDZ but his press conference was telling…. we need a ‘father figure’ to repair the confidence crisis in this team.

This club 😭 I can’t remember what a win feels like. I can barely remember what a goal feels like.

When was the last time a player had an 8/10 game in the league? Xavi v City? We are literally the 3rd worst team in the league, like Leicester, Luton or Burnley in recent years.

The club needs to make a massive fuss out of that. Ludicrous decision that’s possibly my put our captain out for the foreseeable and maybe our GK

An Open Letter to Tottenham Hotspur #NoToDeZerbi

An open letter from Managing Editor @george-miller.org to @tottenhamhotspur.com, on Roberto De Zerbi.

Industry Season 4 is 10/10 television. The characters become the sharpest, nastiest, most immoral selves in this series, and you’re kept guessing on their end-game. Superb stuff!

Can’t people just get on with supporting their club without weird criticism like this.

Yes exactly, or a strange feeling/emotion

“…Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours."

This made me think of this quote from Alan Bennett - “The best moments in reading are when you come across something – a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things – which you had thought special and particular to you.

Have been at my niece’s first birthday and not seen the game at all. Seeing a lot of anger online. This ‘altogether, always’ thing has to carry on, we can’t turn on the players, there’s no choice at this point. As fans we have to take the hits and keep going till the end.

Explains a lot. Very similar situation with Sonny when he was struggling 2 season ago

Best performance for… 6 months??

Fantastic from the lads tonight. I think we were the better team over 2 legs tbh. We literally through the ball in our own net 3 times. But great to get the win at home. Some massive guts being shown in that team right now 💙

I love that from Dragusin, absolute pure Simeone-style performing

That is a foul every day of the week in Madrid isn’t it

Same here. Any football right now is just a reminder of how awful we are.

Why is Gallagher right wing instead of Porro?

Which bit?

All fluidity has been coached out of these players by Frank. And it now seems too pressurised a situation to develop meaningful patterns by any coach

Palace weren’t even good until the red card

Especially because we were ok until then. Palace weren’t even good until the red card, not sure what Joe Cole is banging on about.
