And what that means is players are always second-guessing themselves. There’s a lack of freedom which essentially stops our best players being the best versions of themselves. And it also must be tedious for them to participate in, since it’s extremely tedious for us to watch.

His justification of the subs, I think, gets to the root of the issue. Which Nathan tried to warn us all about from the very beginning. It’s not that he isn’t a good tactician or doesn’t have some good ideas/approaches. But everything he does, *everything* he does, is underpinned by conservatism.

He’ll fix our defence first they said.

What happens first? Spurs win the EPL title or Bluesky launches the ‘edit’ function?

HT: It’s just not good enough. Even in our good performances lately it feels like a handful of players are carrying us through force of will and nothing systematic or sustainable is happening.

For too long our squad building has been haphazard and opportunistic. It’s not sustainable for the longterm.

I also think Lange is way out of his depth as Director of Football. He’s fine as a lead scout, but he appears to have no vision, and there’s a clear lack of coherence in the squad building. The problems run deeper than just Frank. A proper restructuring is required imo.

I don’t think Frank has the solutions to the current problems right now which is why I believe he has come out and said it’s gonna take a while to fix the team.

The sheer volume of utter scum already using this tragic shooting to instil anti-immigrant and racist hatred is truly disgusting.

Starting to see bit of a trend with X…

friend/coworker of mine just told me a family member (who I also worked with) got picked up by ICE today and they don't know where he is if any Nashville folks know organizations I can contact to help them find him I'd really appreciate it. already sent a message to the TNIRRC asking the same

My son’s school cricket season has come to a conclusion and what a milestone he and his team have achieved this season. Made history by being the first team to bring home a Cricket Championship trophy to school. The school was established back in 1824 so you can imagine why the boys were going nuts.

Went to the Lady Gaga concert last night, nearly didn’t go, my wife’s a big fan but I’ve never really been one myself but sheesh that was one of the best performances I’ve seen live on the big stage. She left it all on the floor and gave the fans more than they could ask for.

In Focus: Xavi Simons (Source: Official Spurs) 🤙 #COYS

Robbie Keane would have absolutely loved that win over Rangers for multiple reasons.

That first touch from Xavi…😮‍💨

Tickets to Spurs pre-season game with Sydney FC secured!

It was nice to see footage of Sonny back at Spurs…🫶 …I’d be lying if I said it was like he never left because tbh there’s a deep sadness felt around the stadium and amongst fans around the world that the Sonny era has ended.

Get in there!

Tapbots’ Phoenix Bluesky app where art thou!?!

Someone told me that the FIFA ‘peace prize’ has been named the Bellend d’Or. Perfect.

If you thought Netflix buying WB was bad news wait until Paramount takeover WB!

Should have signed a left back in the summer because something like this was always gonna happen…especially at Spurs.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Looking forward to seeing Spurs live when they visit Sydney at the Allianz stadium next July. They’re playing my local team Sydney FC. Pre-sale tickets available on Thursday.

Checking in with Spurs summer signings.

A really tidy performance by Gray yesterday in a double pivot alongside Bentancur.

Anyone seen a passmap for the win over Brentford?

Jalen Johnson is the Hawks’ most complete player since Paul Millsap.

What a game by this guy…

An interesting stat: When Frank has left Xavi out of the starting lineup, Spurs have won 0 league games. When Frank has included Xavi in the starting lineup, Spurs have won 66% of their league games. It’s a small sample size, I know, but it’ll be interesting to revisit at the end of the season!

Quin can’t get this Hawks team to keep a lead if his life depended on it! It’s actually a bit of a joke now how bad they are at maintaining big leads.

Good to see ‘Tehran’ is back on the release radar on Apple TV.

Chelscum evidently not built for a title challenge… 😏

Absolutely this…

Decent result. Awful performance. Our use of the ball and build up is appalling

Hope fans stop chatting shit about Romero, but they won’t.

Romero might have just saved Frank’s job.

B.S VAR call but tbf we don’t deserve anything from this game.

Aye Frank get some of our creative players on so we can score a goal…you’ve had your fun in the first half, now let the fans have theirs!

The Fulham vs City game is wild…

From my couch at home…

The more Frank’s job as Spurs manager comes under the cosh, the less likely he is to utilise his creative players.

Some fans have claimed Frank is now just gaslighting Spurs fans and tbh I think they have a case after reading this from the presser. An expectation to beat Fulham at home shouldn’t be treated as some grandiose, entitled right.

The football gods absolutely hate Spurs for sacking a European trophy winner!

When multiple players are making mistakes and underperforming in a game, it’s generally symptomatic of a bigger issue within the team.

There’s some life in this team still… 😅

If this doesn’t look like Frank’s lost the dressing room I don’t know what does.

Went from a manager that won a trophy at every club he’s managed to…this.
