Conte would have the team revolting against him by now anyway wouldn’t he
Agreed, but then it works both ways ie time to not get carried away and talk about sacking the manager every time we lose. We are a work in progress that much is obvious, which means there will be ups and downs. We are 3 points off third so how about we let the league breathe and play out before talking about getting a new manager in.....
Bang on. Don't get too high when we win, or too low when we lose.
Thankfully the club seem to have decided Ange is for the longterm, as if we left it to the fans (especially the plums on Facebook Spurs groups) then we'd sack the manager every time we conceded a goal.
can you explain this bud, don't get it?

Our xG has been good all season, it’s the xGa we have a problem with, and that was still pretty poor today.

Which bit? In terms of BlueSky I was trying to see how to paste links to BlueSky. It is an alternative to Twitter (X) where all good folk are going, because musk likes to suckle blood from the Nazi Mango's teat.
In terms of the chart, every chart that has City and Pool and Arse quite high, but Spurs are more toppermost and more gooder, it means we're gooder.
In terms of PPDA, that is a wild explanation. Wrap your noggin around this Googled sentence: PPDA stands for passes per defensive action. PPDA is the number of opposition passes allowed outside of the pressing team's own defensive third, divided by the number of defensive actions by the pressing team outside of their own defensive third
To quote a Liverpool fan, it's sometimes hard to keep the faith though: Tottenham remind me of the first couple of years of Klopp. They can challenge any team in football, they really do have an incredibly high ceiling on their level of football but they just struggle to be consistent. I think they have reasons to be positive though if they’re patient. It’s easier to add consistency than it is to increase your best level.

He absolutely has to get this season and next. We'll have more brick defeats I reckon but the thought of sacking this guy to go on the merry-go-round again fills me with dread. He has a vision, he has beliefs...let's see how it plays out. He believes he will win something here...maybe he's right.
The one thing you can guarantee, it'll be entertaining. And, after Conte, Jose and Nuno, that in itself is something to embrace.

Part of the reason it can be hard for fans to keep the faith is the constant dissecting it to death week in week out. (especially when we lose)
Take, for example , all that has been written and opinions espoused since losing to Ipswich....becomes meaningless when you beat City 4-0.
We are so up and down at present, it's a riddle.....just let Ange get on with it

Yep this
Doesn’t help it was another gap between games because of international
I’d did worry that @thfcsteff was going purple and yellow at one point this week
Those days off be some toxic because it’s breathing space in a bad way
When you win you what the next game quickly
When you lose you want it next day to get ut out of the system

Na il on the head of course and you are not wrong, however that also goes for those fans who have said Ange is not good enough for the job. [ not saying you think like that]

I'm sorry, what does that mean?
I have CONSISTENTLY said we need to have PATIENCE with the manager. What I have been concerned about is the level of support for him both among elements of our fanbase and in terms of him getting what he wants! Why do you have such a problem with that question being asked or point being raised? Is no-one in the boardroom beyond a question now? Please. If I was Levy Out I'd be very articulate about it! Again, I hope the manager is properly supported and given the time to complete the work is doing. I am saying this in black and white mate.

I think we've had maybe three poor performances. The rest have been largely of a high standard with details failing us/individual mistakes. I think the progress is very clear, we are learning who is able to make the step up consistently.

Honestly mate
The way you speak on the pod and post 99% of the time your a positive guy
But…. Last week your posts became morw and more negative about the things the club were doing
It’s kit the steff I’ve seen posting for years
I was even tempted to PM you
I’ve heard you talk about the painful rebuild many times and that view is the right view
Agree, and this isn't to be used as an excuse - all the top teams have this issue. But we have a squad of which many haven't had this to contend with before, so I do think this needs to be taken into consideration and this is another season of gaining experience, working on how to handle the three games a week.
I don't buy the 'we have gone backwards' comments that have been popping up this season when referring our league performances, as last season we had whole weeks to prepare for games with no real cup competition game time. Next season will be a better time to properly judge (assuming we are again in Europe) the progress being made.....

Losing at home to Ipswich can do that to a person. As can blowing a lead at Brighton, a lacklustre performance at Palace and a flukey win against Coventry. All added to many years without a trophy.
We can all be positive, and I think most on here want to see Ange given time and backing. But a healthy dose of reality is needed at times too.
