Pressure on Ange

Agree that their squad isn’t good enough. If you are aiming for top 4 Johnson and Solanke are not signings to take you there.
 
They are nowhere near potent enough in final third. Final ball and crosses are awful...... Usually hit and hope from the wings..... The number of check backs and passing sideways across the pitch..... They move the ball so slowly in the final third it is a painful watch...... Baseline is...... They are average!
 
They’re buying average players. I can’t see Solanke ever pushing for an England place, and as for Johnson I don’t think he’d start for any top 10 premier league clubs. Poor transfer window and maybe a manager who has been told that’s all you’re getting.

They seem to spend big on back up players. Archie Gray and Wilson Odobert cost £60m!, They don’t start games.
 
But what about Ange-ball and his laid back demeanour. Breath of fresh air isn’t he?

Will all count for nowt if he achieves yet another typical Spurs type season again.
 
Expectations at Spurs are ridiculous.

I've been following football now for almost 40 years and they've never amounted to much.

2 league cups and an FA cup in that time , 2 of which were before the turn of the millennium. Leicester have outperformed them for trophies in that time.

They had a golden spell about 8-10 years ago when they were contending for 3rd and 4th each year, but otherwise, this is pretty much what they are, and have always been in recent decades.
 
Spurs seem to spend big on like upcoming young players from the championship or Premier league like solankae grey Johnson and even Spence. They aren't world class players ready made like their rivals do
 
What I think IS good about the PL today is that there basically isn’t a big 4-6 anymore. United, Chelsea are pretty much basket cases, Spurs quite often are well off the pace. Liverpool could well return to their Roy Evans sort of standard, and City are about to hopefully receive a big points deduction.

It feels like a big 3 to me.

Never mind the odd result at the moment: that usually happens this time of year: Wolves beat Man City in September last season.

The rest are scrapping to get 4th; villa's spending looks questionable in recent seasons, but I'm as happy to see them in there as anyone.

Although in the three years though before you started following football they won the FA cup twice and the `Uefa Cup. its your fault.

Solanke is 27 he’s not young, that signing is going to bite them on the backside, he’s a decent player but not good enough for the ambitions they have. Never in this world a £60million player or good enough to replace Kane.

1 decent premier league season, 1 very good championship season and an okay championship season at 27 years old. The rest of the time he’s been cr6p.
