If you can't put a team out that can compete you aren't a good enough manager simple as. Spurs are good but far far from so good that you can't have a reasonable go. It isn't City.

If we go the to toe in an open game then we lose 999 times out of 1000

Because presented with chances in front of goal, Son Kane Kullisevski/Richy take more of their chance (and create a lo more too) than Maupay McNeil and Gray.

The first half is your evidence. Give those chance to Son and Kane and at least 1 hits the net. Our efforts didn't even hit the target.

Lack of quality up top means we will never be better than relegation stragglers until we improve our squad.

We had some big big chances, take them and we're in it. We missed them because people like Gray and Onana aren't slotters.

Yes if the only two half decent attempts we had both went in we would have maybe won but that's not a thing that happens most weeks and it doesn't mean you're competing.

Manager isn't good enough then. The talent isn't that deficient. I'm not saying anyone can make it 50/50 but 99/100 isn't good enough.

Basically we're almost a seasons worth of games in and he's made no real tactical progress. We've got better players which is nice, they don't play better tactically very often.

We are far, far better tactically in terms of shape and structure, we can actually defend set pieces, so no that’s a complete lie that we’ve made no tactical progress. We can’t score goals because our attacking players are all a heaving mess.
 
Look guys whether you believe in Frank long term or not (seems most everyone does) today was bad from him and if you're denying that you're a little too blue tinted glasses on this one. Plenty of teams have put better efforts in against Spurs than that. It was a little too loserball for me. Never trying from the start to win it.

Our attacking options are in the bottom 3 in the league.

It depresses me that our only possible way of playing effectively is to park the bus, but this is what happens when you waste money and then don't replace your front line when one is sold and the other can't get fit.

We are where we are and we cant compete with good teams. Is that good enough for this club? Absolutely not. But that doesn't mean we can magic away our problems and expect to go out toe to toe with teams with FAR FAR better attacking players.

Kane and Son v Gray and Maupay. Its a featherweight up against a prime middleweight. Its not a contest.
