You seem to be missing the point. You’re saying next season you’ll be upset if you don’t see moves to win major prizes. His track record says now is the time to win or the window is closed
The three year is my standard for success. if yours is different you are welcome to it, but he has been here just over a year now and people are acting as if he has two full years to judge him on. I think Jose gets us a cup and gets us back to the Champion's League. Subjective items like pissing off a player or more is not my concern unless he doesn't achieve the goals I expect him to. Chalk that up to a concern in achieving the goal, but it is not an absolute. We were in fucking freefall when he arrived and at least we are a serious team again despite the recent frustrations. His style of play is certainly going to subjectively piss people off. That aid, I do think he gets results with it when you judge it over time. I think when it works we all see it's merits. You can hate the way he plays. You can hate the way he acts at times. I don't think if anyone is being honest that you can objectively say that he sucks at doing his job, which is more than just game day tactics.
You could’ve just said you aren’t familiar with Jose’s 3rd season history rather than typing out all that bullshit that doesn’t have anything to do with the point I made. Let me see if this makes it any more clear. Your standard for success is irrelevant to the point. Jose typically comes in, shows improvement in his 1st season, wins silverware in 2nd season and it all falls apart in the 3rd season. Next year would be his 3rd season with Spurs
Or I can disagree with you. We are only just over a year into this, so talking about 3 years versus his third season is not really the same. This is also the first time I think he took over a team mid-season.
Again, we’ve given up 8 goals after the 75’ which have cost us 11 points. It’s painfully obvious we don’t have the players to play his dinosaur system, yet he still does it because he knows nothing else. Only Brighton and Sheffield have dropped more points from a winning position than we have. He says our players aren’t good enough individually yet still sets them up to fail by not adjusting his tactics to something more suitable for our obvious weakness at the back. That’s madness. And no one gives a shit about the League Cup.
Sorry, I try not to be a dick in other team threads but often that’s where discussions actually happen on TSB and I can’t pass on Jose talk.
Spurs are actually pretty talented, and shouldn't be 1-3-2 since the Arsenal game. Against clubs with a pulse, Spurs haven't played really well since Man City. Some of that is dumb luck, maybe some tired legs in a match or 2 in December... but most of it is on the manager. He has to be better or there's no chance they finish in the top 4.
over a 6 game period he hasn't gotten the job done is not the same as declaring he sucks. If that were the case then every manager of the top teams suck this year.
Jose is trash. The sooner we get rid of him the better. Pretty much everyone in the world knows he’s washed up besides Levy and NYGator.
Good article. Re yesterday, it's 100% on Jose to make a change once Fulham started to carve up Sanchez and Dier (and Winks on a couple of occasions) with powerful direct runs. Go 3 in the back, move Sissoko into a more central role, etc. I don't know, I'm not a football manager. But it was clear Fulham's changes in personnel and tactics were causing mayhem in the Spurs' back. Jose did nothing until they scored - there's no excusing that. Personally, right after the half, I would have pulled Winks, moved Sissoko back, and added an attacker to try to get a second goal -- make your opponent react to you rather than reacting to their changes -- but whatever.
Part of the problem with that approach is that we don't have another reliable goal scorer on the team, Dele, who can't even make the bench consistently, has seen his form drop off the last couple of seasons. Bale, Moura, Bergwijn, Lamela, and Vinicius have what, 2 PL goals between them so far?
a shame the performance went to waste. Even looking at these clips make you realize if Son was even half his normal self we win this game easily.
You need a manager that doesn't play counterattack every fucking game no matter the team Sorry boys, I mean no ill will
How cool would it be if we scored early and often in one match? We're tops in early goals but we like to spread them out too much. We can pack it in once we're up by 3 or 4.
