It's bloody awful, needs binning off

The last one came at the worst time for us we had just won a game in good fashion (Ipswich) and then spurs had lost. 2 weeks off to let spurs get their act together... Awful timing

This time prob not great timing either

Unbeaten in 3 for us too, just halts momentum.
Breaks are just so dull.

Gives j-lo 2 extra weeks to try and work out exactly what starting line up he wants to try next 🤣

J lo is doing exactly what de zerbi did at Brighton ,decent first season but being found out for not having a plan b and tinkering with the lineup every weekend. Potter would be a great fit for spurs as he has a plan b and still plays great football whilst doing so .

Are you thinking of poch? J-lo only arrived in the summer
 
Just seen a post match interview with Postecoglou from yesterday.

Does he always deliberately avoid eye contact with the interviewer? He looked at the floor or away from her the entire time, acted like he just didn't want to be there.

Seemed really rude! She wasn't even asking difficult questions.

He does that when it goes wrong, says mate a look in an aggressive way and says things like "disappointed" "expected more"

Have a plan sodding b man!

I have liked some of the things he comes out with, but I'm starting to think he might be a bit of a Klopp. Everyone's favourite when it's going well, but a belligerent tosspot when it isn't.

By far the best one I seen was the reporter who called out ETH about his tactics

And he was like give me examples

So he did. Gave him like 5 examples of poor tactics from the manager

"Oh that's not how I see it"

Aha idiot

This is what I wondered. Always think the true measure of what a manager is like is how he reacts to when things go wrong. Your Klopp analogy may be spot on.

Really impressed with slot, didn't know much about him. Sure Liverpool were left in a good situation but he's done well with what he has

He's hit the ground running and imposed his style very quickly. Taking advantage of a Rodri-less City as well, but we know they don't really lose after new year, so just remains to be seen if Liverpool can build up enough of a lead.

Arsenal - as said numerous times, stupid not to strengthen with a proper striker and I can't see them making up the deficit now. Playing for 3rd.

Peps understudy starting to struggle now for sure

Suffered from same issues as pep lack of replacement for a key player , soon as ooderguard (sp) was out their form dipped massively

I for one am fully enjoying the fall of Arteta over the last couple of weeks :ROFLMAO: He's got a decent team on his hands, but it wasn't cheaply put together and he's yet to deliver any silverware with his squad!

If they win nothing again this year, he's surely got to be under some scrutiny?

For a fall surely there needs to be a rise 😁

Think it’s £600mil spend for an FA Cup ( which was won by the team from the previous manager)

He has spent a fortune yet has prob the thinnest squad in the prem

He has played the same core players week in week out and it’s not a surprise they are suffering

Why on earth he allowed the likes of Smith Rowe , Nelson and Nketiah go when they provided backup is staggering

The likes of Saka and Odegaard suffer because they are played week in week out

I'm guessing that the players themselves had a big say in that. They were not getting a game, just used as back up, and they wanted to play. They are all 24-25, not kids any longer. The accusation against Arteta could be that he simply didn't play them enough to persuade them to stay. That is fair. Maybe he just didn't rate them enough either.

Smith Rowe is pure fitness though. He stays fit he would get into most sides he really is class
