If Spurs were middling around in mid-table and got that Europa boost, that’s one thing, but they were consistently dreadful for months. Probably didn’t help Frank, although perhaps that wasn’t the best choice of replacement in retrospect. Can’t even fully blame recruitment, they near had Eze and Gibbs-White who are the types they fully need and who’ve certainly showed Spurs since what they’re missing! Speaking of dreadful, Arsenal were massively disappointing today outside of a few spells against City. Dunno how it’ll swing the title race, if at all but definitely an underwhelming showing | ||

Spurs had been declining ever since the (admittedly excellent) first half-season in the league. I mean it’s nice to win a trophy but if everything else is a mess that doesn’t erase all of that. Especially given the Europa League doesn’t nearly have the same quality it did since the reformat. I mean it was a godawful final that could have gone either way, I’d be saying the exact same about Amorim actually if Man United had taken the prize. As I said, if Spurs had an underwhelming league season but were floating around 8th-12th or something, plus a trophy and a League Cup semi appearance, especially considering their injuries that’s a kinda reasonable season. 17th? Probably no, for me anyway. That Spurs have further botched it I don’t think means moving on from Ange was the wrong call. Not as if he pulled up trees at Forest, although in fairness to him that sure as fuck isn’t a squad that suits his style | ||
