Why would they if majority of the squad is in agreement to the manager's method?

In normal employment, employees can just tender and leave if they are not happy for whatever reasons. They can't do that in football unless they buy out their contracts. How do you expect them to perform at the best, collectively, when the problem is more clearly now due to the single one man, the manager?

This is going to end up being circular, but was it the players or manager who should be praised for the stonking couple of seasons we had? What happened to "win as a team, lose as a team"? All very easy to say when you're winning.

I guess I just don't think its a simple matter of getting Maureen in and suddenly everything clicks back to how it was in 16/17. I also think we owe the guy a tad more loyalty than we as a collective have shown. We demand multiple seasons of loyalty from players and management, regardless of how well or badly we are doing. Perhaps we should go more than a run of bad form before throwing everyone under the bus. You can say "that is modern football", but it doesn't have to be. Idealistic perhaps but there it is.

Just get rid of him - through talking about it.

The bloke has lost the plot - it’s almost like he wants the sack.

Moans about the players wanting out, then plays them all.

He has won nothing and is paid a kings ransom to win football games. Being a ‘good bloke’ is irrelevant.

I think I am still in the 'Poch in' camp. I didn't like his selection for the game today but he has given me the best 5 years of my time supporting spurs. I think that the performance today was ok - there was more urgency but we were playing a very good team and the result was fair. I do think we will beat Everton and we should give him the time and opportunity in January to refresh a couple of players.

At least suspension has forced the hand with Rose, hopefully Lamela is back. I think Alder/Winks are okay in rotation but there was no need to rotate ndombele out for today. If you want more midfield discipline fine but Push Ndombele forward instead of benching him. When we were on top in those initial 15 minutes, you can bet your house that Ndombele would have opened their defence up at least once.

In.

He has to start altering the squad round now though, I think he wanted to give those that lost the final a shot at revenge today and I think that’s fair enough.

This loss does not mentally damage our new signings and young players, it’s their time from this point on.

I still think he should stay. There I said it. Mainly because I don't want us turning into Chelsea of the last few years. Players need to know that the manager is in charge, for better or worse.

Right, but, devil's advocate. What do we do at 30 mins a la Bayern when he needs to help cover and chase back relentlessly.

I can see the need to rotate him, personally. Right or wrong, I can see it. We weren't playing Red Star today.

I literally had to look all of those borough names up, might as well have been Moscow to me. We roll with the Leagrave Massive and the Sundon Park Ultras round this way.

Anyone who is going to complain about the team selection, let's put one thing to bed now. Ndombele would have been finished after 30 mins of this game. Absolutely no point in starting him whatsoever.

Absolute garbage.

I still back him because I appreciate everything he’s done here and that we just have a period of painful transition and that’s the way it’s got to be.

But he’s not making it easy by continually picking players who are just not delivering any kind of performances.
