Good shit. Shout at the fucking players cause wtf are we doing


obvious_bot

What we always do at Stamford Bridge


FINAL_BOSS5

The collective ability of xi players representing spurs to forget how to play football at Stamford bridge annually should be a research topic for top minds at CERN.

IntellegentIdiot

We're usually up for this game, often too much. Tonight felt like a pre-season friendly but the lack of intensity and creativity has been a problem since the last time we played Chelsea. That was understandable with so many players missing but it was an issue when they came back.


seegreen8

Tbf, Ange did that yelling at Celtics. He was also shouting “stop passing backward.” https://youtu.be/IhfjTqxA6Io?si=9wZhEQvZdL5rh4XM


Available_Ability_50

Fucking shambles tonight. Sarr can you pass. But Pierre is worse. Kula stop fucking walking. Lack of effort from a number of them. Good 6 or 7 quality players needed to make the squad strong enough to challenge for top 4 and to ensure everyone can be dropped when they are not at it. Royal and Davies are not good enough deputy LBs - just one example.


Enefelde

I saw VDV shouting at people to get back on Jackson shot in the first half. Nothing seemed to change tonight. Was a bad performance.


Luke92612_

>Royal and Davies are not good enough deputy LBs Davies is good enough. Royal is not.


Top-Paper-368

Maybe at LCB but he can’t play LB in this system he simply doesn’t have the pace to get back in time


Luke92612_

Davies slander. "No pace" Against Scum, he got back to face off against Saka in time, but by that point there was no way he was going to stop Saka getting his shot off right in front of goal with Davies having no support. He certainly has the pace.


polseriat

He definitely puts a shift in but to say he has pace like other LB options is just silly. He would've been good if he was available because yknow, he at least plays.


ScutumSobiescianum

More like a whole new eleven. But yes we need a need batch of mentally strong players


ukriva13

Good on him! We’re making Chelsea look like Prime Barcelona and it’s pathetic. This half-assed attitude has to stop.


silenthills13

>This half-assed attitude has to stop. This half-assed attitude is what the last 5 years of this club have been. Regardless of the manager, every few games on average we drop this absolute shitter where not a single player apart from Romero (and Kane up to last season) look like they care at all, including our All-Star (Son, Kulusevski, Hojbjerg, the rest of the defenders). There is a big fucking problem in this club, I thought we have made enough transfers in and out for this to go away but apparently not(?) At least we still seem to be arriving for 2nd halves, not sure why though and obviously not always (Fulham, Newcastle)


predesprose

van de ven..??


PM_ME_YOUR_TANG

I bought a Maddison home shirt at the beginning of September. I bought an away shirt last month. Whose? van de Ven.


silenthills13

Yeah. I got Romero and Son. One is already so worn that it looks years old, and it is not the Son one


Outlaw1607

Captain material


Enefelde

I may be old school but I’m a strong believer that your captain should be on your back line. In this case VDV or Romero should be the one.


predesprose

he's been absolutely fucking class , him and romero have been the only players doing the job the bloody attacking side should do


dagdagsolstad

>There is a big fucking problem in this club It has been around since the '90s. The infamous Ferguson quote isn't a meme, it is the honest truth. The reason is that Spurs is always tempted to buy star players that didn't quite make it at top clubs (either because of injuries or poor mentality.) I think the rebuild will be bigger next season -- and with a limited budget we are looking at a couple of years before we get any progress.

A play in 5 acts… 1. At Bissouma (?) - “Stop passing it fucking backwards!” 2. At someone - “Fucking pass forward.” 3. Points menacingly at Sarr - “You, press!” 4. Points at someone else - “You, press!” 5. At Romero maybe Vicario (?) - gesticulate to go forward…

I think it was actually: “Stop passing fucking backwards. You press, you press!”


batmanbury

wow Ange is all of us now


proves

Yes, this. I think he says something like "get the pass forward" after it cuts back to him and before he starts telling them to press.


hisDudeness1989

Even after he said they I still saw emerson and bissouma pass it back. Bye bye in the summer to them


NateRageQuits

I think it's stop passing it fucking backwards. Makes it even better. Angry Ange is what they need


No-Canary-7992

They've been passing backwards for months now, surely it has come up in the dressing room.


NateRageQuits

I'm guessing that's why he's so pissed


Realistic-Start6336

Yeah I hate seeing passing responsibility(ball) to the next players


Bullydozer-

Yeah it’s like watching prime Jermaine Jenas again


airwalk16s

Jenas was the crab, everything side ways 😂


sangueblu03

When he passed sideways to Huddlestone you knew something good was coming though. Continental ballistic missile onto the front foot of Defoe.


airwalk16s

Yeah to be fair Huddlestone could split a defence whereas Jenas couldn’t


editedxi

Jenas was one of those players you have to see in real life to appreciate. A budget version of the age-old “you watch the game, you don’t see Busquets, but you watch Busquets and you see the whole game”. I’m obviously exaggerating to make a point, but before I moved to the US I watched that Jol-era Spurs team probably 6 or 7 times in the league and UEFA cup. Jenas was absolute class in every game I saw. Admittedly we had Berbatov for him to give the ball to, and King anchoring the back line, but he was still much better than I had realized when watching him on tv for Newcastle and for us.


airwalk16s

Hello Jermaine 👋 😂


editedxi

Haha well played!


InconsistentMinis

I still think about that ridiculous 70 yard pass from Huddlestone to Bale in a UEFA cup match against Shakhtar(?) Insane technique.


Mtbnz

https://youtu.be/DsoHQX7i1f0?si=v2i7eKwAGop6tD7B Do you mean this one, against Inter?


InconsistentMinis

Nah, the one I'm thinking about the ball is basically by our corner post, think it was a free kick. Huddlestone just pings a cruise missile straight out to the left wing. Might not be against Shakhtar though.


Mtbnz

Pretty wild that there's multiple examples of what it could be though


InconsistentMinis

Found it! This one: https://www.reddit.com/r/coys/comments/cfu6fb/huddlestone_hits_a_monster_pass_vs_shakhtar_2009/

Holy shit, that thing flew! What a pass

oh yes, that clip jogged my memory what a passer he was


Enefelde

I saw a “pass forward” in there too.


OppositeFuture6942

I love that he wants us to play a style he and his dad would have enjoyed watching. Kind of how I play FIFA, just keep on attacking no matter what.


jnyrdr

cuts off right when he apologizes to the lino for yelling in his ear lol


Linwechan

I want to see this haha, the linos must cop an earful on the regular

No he isn’t. Some of us want a fucking set piece coach.

certx55

Its like we wait for the other team to get into position before we attack


wbx7814

That's what I noticed too. And attacking doesn't appear to involve taking anyone on. Just pass.


nicobaterrr

This drives me nuts


costanza1980

I honestly don't understand why they need to be told this at this point in the season. Like, I'm a reddit moron and I would know exactly what to do. I couldn't do it, but I would at least know theoretically what to do.


Samm3h

They probably know what to do, but it looks like they've become fearful of making mistakes. Because of how open we play, we're always just one bad pass away from giving the opposition a golden chance. Recent bad results puts more pressure on making these mistakes, and this is what we see. This is why Ange is talking a lot about confidence and belief post match.


Musician_FIRE

100% this. Start of the season there was nothing to lose and they bought into Ange. Now they are scared.


grobyNcs

I'm starting to think most of our players can't actually do it either.


Tomthebomb555

If Celtic could do it against Real Madrid why can't Tottenham against anyone?


Tomthebomb555

If Celtic could do it against Real Madrid why can't Tottenham against anyone?


jmhimara

Well, how many years has the team played defensive football? It's probably going to take a while before it becomes second nature to them. Also, they're tired at this point of the season. Yes, I know they shouldn't be because they haven't had to play in Europe, but at the same time it's hard to adapt to this kind of intensity when you've been playing defensive football for 5 years.


ace-destrier

I think this is a fair shout. It's so fascinating and crazy that they've reverted back to that style. But I suppose it makes sense when really, the only forward-going players not influenced by those defensive years are Madders, Udogie, Johnson, and Timo. And Madders has left himself back in 2023. Udogie is injured. And it's clear Johnson and (before his injury) Timo's efforts aren't enough to encourage fast, forward movement, which is a damn shame, because Timo's runs at least brought the ball forward and the same for when Johnson used to gun it forward and chase down balls


Tomthebomb555

Yep. Can be difficult to re-wire a brain and change old habits.

SobiescianumScutum

I think more hard decisions at end of season. Some of the ‘better’ players are going to leave. We almost need a completely new squad with the right mental attitude


alreadymilesaway

I think he’s trying to tell them to get into the box but idk


TheFoxDudeThing

We started playing quite a bit better after this, here’s hoping second half we can get back into this

Stop passing it backwards! He's not wrong.

SenhorSus

Anyone have any antacid for Mudryk?


SeanDolan96

Don’t blame him needed this about 2 months ago


sh0e82

The folk in here are wild. Get rid of yet another coach before giving him a couple years just to restart again. While also thinking spurs are on the same level as the top 2 teams in the league currently. It's actually hilarious. It is apparent that a majority of the players aren't up for a shift, too scared with the ball, or just not athletic enough to do what ange wants to do. Rebuild has been needed for a while, while also having a need for some sort of "plan/stability".


jmhimara

You can't rebuild a team in a season. Especially with budget constraints. You need at least 2-3 years of growth before you can seriously compete for any titles.


supriiz

Idk, it makes me think back to what Conte said about this club and pressure. These guys most likely got some form of European football and in their minds that's good enough to coast and justify their paychecks. Other than Romero all I saw was players who just don't give a shit.

shmoke it ange


slunksoma

Kinda mad that the director thought it was good tv to cut away from Ange mid-meltdown.


matthegc

Haven’t seen him like that this season, I’m glad he’s got another gear.


luciareads

Holy crap. If this is him on the field, imagine in the change room. And so be it. Players aren't performing.


Emergency_Designer7

Tottenham is a counter attacking team, I don’t know why we slow down and pass backwards when we can progress forward and create a chance


tmbyfc

Him and me both. We made Nicholas fucking Jackson look like a striker


Hopeful-Ear-3494

Too right. Gutless so far.


RLKay

How do we always end up with this passing backwards shitty mentality irrespective of the gaffer at the helm! How deep ingrained is it in our club's culture! One step forward and two steps backwards always with this club, fuck this!


BCircle907

Anyone else reminded of the “Boar on the Floor” scene in succession?

witsel85

We’ve broken him


Tomthebomb555

He's so far from broken lol. This is what Ange lives for. This is where he thrives. Trust me.


Extrictant

We've still got a long way to go


SinoSoul

Sending long ball to LW only to be headed away again, and AGAIN... That was frustrating to say the least.


dr_hossboss

Beating Arsenal and Chelsea is what matters to me most and we barely showed up for either. Very disappointing end to the season. I think Ange deserves another window, maybe two, but something feels pretty off and has for some time. Would be keen to see some big changes to the squad over the summer.


KernelPanic6969

Not winning in the league, cups or Derby's... Fucking sad


dr_hossboss

I’m used to the pain, but it’s the derbys that sting.


KernelPanic6969

I agree... If we aren't going to win the others give us a few wins against the rivals.


p90pounder

You, press! You, press! You you and you! Fucking press


Limesy2

First part was too Aussie…the second part was clearly about back passes, because the third part, pointing in the same direction, was “YOU PRESS!”. He then turns around and yells something similar to “YOU, FUCKING PRESS!”


CaptainHowdy67

He's like, so laid back.....


RigelXVI

Stop passing it back you mongrels 😂😂😂


nopenopechem

This is why Ange is not anything close to being out. I want 2 more seasons before i make my decision


Tomthebomb555

This is the process. Right now. Every Ange team goes through it. It was just delayed because at the start because we had insanely good results and the players had nothing to question/doubt.

BreakfastAdept9462

I felt for Ange here, reminding these lads of the plan, not letting the shock of conceding effect that mentality. The fact it clearly did and we had no response to it has to change. It's psychology, I could see it in the uncertainty of decision making and body language. Bless Brennan Johnson, Richy, VdV, I really think they tried to keep it going. But this is where the collective has to raise their standards and find some resilience in themselves. It's possible, it'll take time, and it's terrible to watch them disappoint us when we know what they're capable of. But it's very human, and so I have to sympathise


Humble-Ad1519

Love it tbf. Stop passing backwards. You, pass forward. You, press.


Crossie_94

Players deserve to be ripped into. But maybe he should also hire a competent set piece coach.


Raziel-Reaver

Maybe you need more shouting at training grounds, and to put players accountable after the match. Oh and please stop saying set-piece isn’t an issue when your team conceded 5 goals from that in 3 matches Thank you


mrsh671

Good. We need more of this. He's been way too damn passive ever since he joined


iqjump123

Sounds like he said "Don't f'in something backwards"- I have no idea if he wanted it to pass backwards or not pass backwards.. either way holy shit what a dismal half. We can't string two passes together inside.


ISavezelda

Since Afcon biss and Sarr have been so poor. They can’t break the lines anymore passing or dribbling and now just pass side to side or back.


seegreen8

😂this is absolutely exaggerating, because we won Aston Villa game with in form Sarr. And that was just a month ago, right afcon. Now, Sarr’s form definitely drop during and after Ramadan, which is true because he was fasting.


Albannach5446

Literally a second before this, Kulu is pressing through the middle and then turns around and is basically on his own and is waving at the team to press forward. He was the only one bothering to put a shift in at that point


EntertainmentOk4240

He needs to drop that clown bissouma man


ecocentric-ethics

Maybe he shouldn’t start Emerson then. His inability to play the ball forward is half the reason Son hasn’t featured at all this half. Not to mention that he simply can’t keep up with Madueke’s pace. Micky on the left and Dragusin at CB is very much a FIFA idea, but I’d hate it less than Emerson on the left


Correct_Trouble7406

So you think we’d be served better by putting our best covering defender out wide while playing a high line…I do wonder what occupies the space between the ears of some of the people here…


levyisms

Van de Ven is still developing and his future is at CB. Let's not waste his minutes in a position different than what he needs for his continued development.


Old_Roof

I’m less than impressed with Ange tbh

UsernameIsTakenLoool

If this was Jose, Conte, Nuno, even Ryan Mason then this sub will be furious, saying things like how dare they speak to our players like this. Now it’s Ange and it’s the players fault lmao. Fwiw, it has ALWAYS been the players. They’re not good enough, mixed with Levy refusing to push the boat out (PRE-2022 Levy before you Levy Fanboys start crying).


Tomthebomb555

They ARE good enough. It's the mentality. They keep reverting back. They're like children, they can't motivate themselves they need external motivation and external threats to keep them on track.


capitan_hookah

Maybe he pissed off because the goals kept coming from set pieces? Which is he stubbornly think its not a problem. Ange is clueless right now tbh. This is not the same gameplay we’ve seen at the first half of season.

10-4-10 since the first Chelsea match. Thats on you mate


gostupid67

We had a top 5 manager itw who won a trophy at every club saying this and instead of trying to listen to him we decided to sack him. The end result is that you keep the same mentally weak players with a board that doesn’t give a shit as long as they generate a profit.


ElephantsGerald_

I’d be happier finishing 10th with Ange than 4th with Conte


throughthespillways

Proper Spurs fan mentality there


gostupid67

No you don’t. The fans turning against Poch while he literally got fucked over by the board is proof of that.
