Yesterday a distillation of the issues - Romero goes off and he immediately goes to a defensive switch to keep the back five instead of staying more attacking with a back 4. Conservative move that backfired - and a move that a good small club manager would make.
Abhorrent from top to bottom. Coaching, recruitment, playing staff, board, physio, management structure; it beggers belief how appalling we've been run in the last 10 years
From the outside looking in, Spurs have always had great strikers, from Dimitar Berbatov and Jermaine Defoe to Harry Kane and Son Heung-min who used to elevate the quality of attack. Looking at the current squad, I fail to see that level of player. There is a mix of potential and good attacking players but not really anyone who can carry the attack on their own.
While it’s true we don’t have that caliber of attacking player now, no one has carried the attack on their own since Kane, and our overall attacking numbers are terrible, as in well below the quality we do have. I don’t think you can put any of this down to having or not having one or two players. It’s a system that doesn’t work. Our CBs aren’t our top scorers because Solanke isn’t capable of scoring 10-12 goals a season.

Thank you!
I thought Frank was going to be a good tactician... I am still waiting.
