Maybe don't panic after a bad month (that wasn't even that bad!) and let Ange keep working his system?

Wolves was the only really bad game recently. Played damn well with 1, then 2 red cards against Chelsea. Outplayed Villa, drew City, outplayed West Ham even worse, and yesterday's blowout win.

He's way ahead of schedule and has so many players stepping up and playing with fire--it's been impressive to watch. I think his system fits Spurs and I'm not worried about changing his tactics to grind out a win 4 months into his tenure.
Let me reiterate: whatever.

For a neutral, they are undoubtedly an entertaining watch. Seems like more often than not they have some kind of weird VAR/refereeing situation involved in a top fixture or just have a wacky match that's entertaining (Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, City). Keep it rolling.

I don’t know the in-depth rules of soccer, but it seems Clemson is getting away with some physical play but they’re dinging ND.

I am usually one to be in favor of letting the boys play but what the fuck are these egregious no calls against us? One in the box as the forward was run over from the backside, no contact with the ball and an obvious tug on a jersey to bring a player to the ground out of bounds after play was stopped. Boggling.

Never in soccer do you get run over from behind and it doesn’t get call especially in the box.

The ball control in the box a little sloppy cost them a few shots but other than that they don’t look bad.

The Irish have given a good effort but this game is over. They have missed out on to many opportunities.

In fairness, I think when you only watch one team, that is how it seems. ND does well, better than most schools, it just tends to be in the more obscure sports now.

Congrats to the men on the season. Know they all wish this game had gone a bit differently. Soccer like football is a game that can come down to just one or two plays and those seemed to go Clemson's way tonight.

Also a Spurs fan. The last couple years have just been torture. Suffering through some really ugly soccer without getting positive results is such an abysmal fan experience. I think we were all so ready for change, that there is a ton of patience in waiting for the system to finally click throughout the club. It's not where we want want to be, but finishing outside of the top six while also not being very entertaining has this fan base in a weird place.
The new kid Spurs got is something else. Get that kid some protein shakes and a workout regime and y’all be cooking for a long time.

Sarr? Johnson? Lol. Not sure who you mean. Spurs has a list of young contributors getting serious minutes. If ENIC just provide us with a little, maybe we can challenge for something. Trust in Ange
