@TheSpursWatch Come back

🚨🎙️Ange Postecoglou when asked how he feels about #Tottenham’s ongoing struggles: "Not great, I still have a really strong attachment to the club. ‌ It was two years and they were by no means easy years, but we invested a lot into them. Second last game we won a European trophy which was an incredible high. The connection there will be there forever. To watch them struggle has not been easy and it’s not the way I thought it would go. They’re in a hell of a fight, relegation is massive for any club but for Tottenham, it’s a pretty big deal. ‌ They have some fighting to do and they have the quality to get out. They need a circuit-breaker for sure." @RyanTaylorSport

@tehTrunk @LilywhiteLab Ange is the only guy who can keep us up

@LilywhiteLab 100% agreed, it's the only option - doesn't mean we're overjoyed about it, but as you say, only thing that makes sense.

Adi Hutter and De Zerbi actually have pretty similar styles of play Quick vertical interplay, lots of rotations. Attackers start high and then move into the pockets to overload opposition midfields. Got a video coming out on Hutter today or tomorrow, as he looks most likely. Styles that require quite highly technical midfielders 🙃

@Billie_T I've been saying this for months!

honestly just run it back for 7 games, build the Ange statue and then get poch

@pokeefe1 Ange is the only manager who can save this club but the egos in the board room are too big to make it happen

@ben_bowman_ because the board are clueless

Why the fuck are we going for Adolf Hutter

@NathanAClark Omg look how low those TF attacking number are! Also Angeball at the start of each season has great numbers before the inevitable injury crisis kicks in!

Since the sacking of Pochettino, Tottenham - now facing potential relegation - have spent more time being bad than good.

This is a terrible mistake

@GianniButtice Yea it's already been widely reported

💰 Harry Winks is currently the Championships highest paid player on 90k a week. 🤔 Do Spurs players have relegation clauses in their contracts? 195k Xavi Simons 195k Cristian Romero 170k James Maddison 160k Conor Gallagher 150k Mohammed Kudus 140k Dominic Solanke

@Kish_P14 why aren't fans considering Ange? Surely is the best person to get something out of the players as they all adored him. Focused on the Europa and got it done, why couldn't he do the same to keep us up

@ben_bowman_ Would ange keep us up?

I still think Mason is the one I’d go for if Tudor does leave this week

@Spurcromulent @NathanAClark This is on the club for not knowing or acting. Should have had his surgery months ago if it was needed

@NathanAClark 11 games into this season he was at +0.33 which was second in the league.

Potentially one less significant transfer to worry about if he heals up well

@henrywinter It will take far more than 8 points to stay up

Tottenham Hotspur are going down unless they show some fight. Spurs fans played their part backing the team, giving the squad that powerful greet before the Forest game. A few players like Archie Gray play their part, fighting for the cause, a 20-year-old showing more commitment than some senior players. It’s not about ability or reputation now, it’s concentration and commitment. It's about fight. Forest showed it. Morgan Gibbs-White, a player Spurs were desperate to bring in for his character as well as playing calibre, highlighted what Spurs miss. “They have got that incredible talent but we showed that fight, hunger and desire more than them,” Gibbs-White told Match of the Day. That fight, hunger and desire to stay with a runner, to block a cross, to compete for a cross, for a ball, for a loose ball, to rage against the dying of the Premier League light. Djed Spence, Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso switched off for the Forest goals. Others culpable, too. Blame also lies with the recruitment for bringing in some individuals who have the flair but not the fight. It’s not new, it even pre-dates Antonio Conte’s lambasting of players and the club culture. It’s a lack of leadership. It’s an issue of mismanagement from on high, as much as poor management from the dugout. Igor Tudor is out of his depth, clearly, but he’s only part of the problem. The whole club needs a reset. A proper, independent all-areas review of the club should come in the summer. For now, it's about players waking up from this sleepwalk towards the Championship. It’ll be one of the biggest stories in the 34 years of the Premier League if Tottenham go down with their history, stadium, fanbase. Spurs were one of the “big five” clubs whose chairmen drove the original breakaway from the Football League in 1992. Damaging financially, £150m minimum. Damaging for recruitment – of players and coaches. Would Mauricio Pochettino return if Spurs were in the Championship, a world away from the Premier League, let alone Champions League? It would trigger an exodus/sale of players. The only ones who can stop the drop will not suffer long-term - beyond having the stain of relegation on their playing records. Spurs are currently 17th on 30 points, without a PL win since Dec 28. They probably need a minimum of eight points from Sunderland away, Brighton home, Wolves away, Villa away, Leeds home, Chelsea away and Everton home. Eight points from seven games. Sounds doable. But do they have the fight, hunger and desire? #THFC

@HimothyReports Sackable

Richarlison out and kept Solanke on🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The only one who has attacking presence has been taken off, nice.

@tehTrunk Which one?

Romero gets a red for that btw

@SpursOfficial @krakenfx Coys

Team news is in 🫡 🔢 @krakenfx

@Billie_T Michael Oliver too. I'll put my house on a red card

Romeros up against a Brazilian striker today

@kanefromthelane @BBCgentZA Oh shit I forgot about this. Also Murillo is Brazilian good and younger than him so he'll probably want to assert his dominance on him too!

@BBCgentZA They have a Brazilian striker…

This game has become too emotional…

@kanefromthelane Completely agree. We've made it too big

@SpursOfficial Don't fuck it up today

A message from our captain to you…

@TheAthleticFC Blaming the fans is a hilarious take

“It’s incompetence of the highest order.” Tottenham Hotspur’s slide into relegation danger has been one of the stories of the season - and has sparked strong opinions. We asked executives, agents and coaches - all with the condition of anonymity - why Spurs have spiralled, who is to blame and what could come next. 📝 @DTathletic 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/71100…
