Greek?
Daniel Levy hanging on to his guy in the vain hope of Europa glory, saw Spurs lose yet another Premier League game, in another omniclusterfuck shambles of a performance, 4-2 to Wolves, one of the few teams below them.
With both eyes on Thursday’s second leg of their Europa League tie Ange lost his 17th league game of the season and the humiliation started early.
Now Vicario is getting all the abuse for his punch from the Wolves’ free-kick but the defending was more at fault. He got the ball to the edge of the box where the Wolves’ defender was waiting all on his lonesome, his scuffer of an attempt then went through the nine Spurs outfield players that were in front of him. One of whom should have been on him anyway, because there was a very good chance he would have got the ball straight from the free-kick in the first place.
Vicario was at fault when Wolves should have score their second minutes later. He was being blamed for Wolves’ second but again he was let down by those around him. Again Wolves are outnumbered but the cross is allowed to go in and again the defence just lets their players run free, so one heads it on and Vicario has to go for the flying save, which bounces off Spence for an OG. While Ben Davies is stood there with his arms spread, pleading for some offence instead of doing any actual defending.
It was another clueless display from a team that don’t look to have been coached in any way, while also look like they can’t be arsed playing for this “coach” anymore.
Of course Ange did nothing at the break to change things. It took another 15 minutes for them to register their first shot of the half, it ended up with a shot on goal and an actual goal. Wolves really Spursy’d it. By now Ange had made changes and one of those changes, Bergvall, started it. Going forward, shock horror, a ball through to Johnson and his cross crossed the face of the Wolves’ goal without a touch. Because, well you don’t expect Solanke to get on the end of a cross on the six yard line do you. At the back post the Wolves’ defender went for a side foot flick, missed it and it hit of Tel to half the lead.
Would Wolves wobble?
Well, no. Five minutes later and Spurs were back at it. Long ball over the top and Romero has it covered, until he runs past the ball and Wolves’ player one cross and a tap in. While Ben Davies is again nowhere.
Again Ange’s reaction is to take off Maddison. Reports of both Villa and Man City being interested in him. Why would he stay if Ange isn’t removed? Solanke was also removed after another scoreless outing from the bum, 11 games and running. The £60m bum was replaced by another £60m bum Richarlison – amazing to think Spurs are being linked with Calvert-Lewin, imagine having that trio as your strikers, players that average a goal every few months. The Brazilian got his first goal since January in the 85th minute. Another Spursy moment from Wolves.
A corner from Bergvall and the central defenders finally do something worthwhile, Davies nods the ball back and Romero puts some effort into his header towards goal, palmed onto the bar it falls for Richarlison to bundle it in.
Could they grab an equal…no. Seconds later and the ball is easily taken off Bergvall, by Cunha – yeah, look who Wolves can bring off the bench a player who has been banned for half the season and yet now has just one league goal less than the Spurs pair have goals in all competitions combined – he skips by the useless Davies and slides the ball past Vicario, while Romero puts in a cursory effort.
A cursory effort. That summed ’em up from “coach” down as yet again one team looked coached while the other…
