Why is it that, whenever they get the ball, they find simple short passes thru midfield and progress the ball upfield, but when WE get the ball, we look around clueless, no one's open, so we have to go backward?

Football 101.
Because the squad is not practicing these in training. They have totally lost the idea of playing football effectively.

the whole fucking team should be dropped. no tactics no passion ...above fucking all no effort.. the whole fucking lot of them jogging back while only Reggie Is sprinting
what's the point in that half fucked press when we don't follow the runners after they pass the ball

Had Conte on a plate and fucked it. Had a number of nice progressive managers on the table (Potter, ETH, Lopetegui etc) and ignored them on the advice on a new DOF who just hired Sarri and Pirlo.

Levy deserves this and more. Utter incompetence.

Now the team is doing that thing where most players hand around the edge of the box but no moves to give the player in possession an option.

There is no excuse to not get this group playing better football, Nuno just doesn't want to do it.

this system doesn't work unless you're very good, which clearly we aren't.

442 died out because of the lack of control it gives you in midfield but this version of 433 is much worse. the front three stay so high and narrow that we're basically playing with three strikers, the rcm gets dragged out to play as a rm/rw and the same on the left, leaving hojbjerg as a one man midfield. obviously we have issues that go beyond the system but this is just magnifying them.

Paratici needs to go as well! Completely the wrong man for the job! Just remember he was the one who wanted Nuno and persuaded Levy to appoint Nuno! Also his first choice was ducking Guttuso! The man is clueless
He fucked it with Nuno but his approach to recruitment is a massive improvement over what came before. I’m not ready to give up on him just yet, but he needs to learn that Tottenham will not countenance defensive football. He didn’t understand the club’s culture, but it’s a lesson he can learn.

If you have such a fragile defense and full backs who cannot defend, first thing you do is protect them. Especially in a tough away game. Nuno has fallen into the trap of trying to be proactive and playing attacking football, and it has backfired spectacularly. Skipp it was our most important player in the first few games and should not be benched. Kane is a ghost and Ndombele cannot be trusted, especially as a central midfielder. It feels like playing with nine men and without a midfield. It was virtually the same under
Mourinho except Kane was here to play and cover the cracks. All three goals today came from lack of defensive coverage in central midfield.

Need Messi to cry to the PSG owners about Poch and then we bring him back. Nuno is a good manager, very decent man but he knows he was the last resort option. The whole world knows it so there is no authority to his management.
