Agree with all of this and I’d also suggest the doom-mongering is largely coming from an anti-Spurs media rather than fans who realistically mostly expected a defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.
My conspiracist head on though, my big fear is we end up relegated because the big refereeing calls keep going against us and nobody at the club seems to be willing to state the obvious: we are refereed differently to any other PL team.
I'm reluctant to accept the 'we're refereed differently' claim, but I do think the level of inconsistency in the league, which we were the victim of last Sunday, can mean dropped points, and there's no guarantee that over a small sample of just a season we'll come out ahead in such margin calls.
I know VDV got stick for the video of him (or Dragusin) not following Tudor's sideline orders, but I think it speaks to your point that they don't quite know yet what to do on the pitch to meet Tudor's expectations.

I don’t like crying conspiracy either but I definitely feel like there’s been a huge amount of calls not gone our way since the Diaz offside incident.
Couldn't agree more... How Dragusin was ever a decent defender is beyond me... He is so bad.
I don't want to rag on Radu, I just think he's not a good fit for Spurs and perhaps for the Premier League, given his shortcomings on the ball.
Good, necessary piece. Too much ranting and raving about a fairly predictable result.

Yeah, and the fact that we can't even tell who was the target of the instruction further supports your point.
Thank you!
