Gab & Juls Show: Are Spurs in a relegation fight?

It's a very interesting one.

ESPN FC
Gab & Juls Show: Are Spurs in a relegation fight?

So, OK, they lost a PhD on Sunday, got smashed 5-0, and there might not have been a way back for him for that.

ESPN FC
Gab & Juls Show: Are Spurs in a relegation fight?

But it's not so much, I think, the problem here.

ESPN FC
Gab & Juls Show: Are Spurs in a relegation fight?

He was very frustrated and struggled to understand why his team could be very good one day, like against Lens, who were at the table at the time, and very bad another day, like against PSG, like against Bruges in the Champions League, in other games.

But if your manager can't really understand why his own team, so the players that he picks, the system that he picks, can't get that consistency, surely it's to be on him, right?

ESPN FC
Gab & Juls Show: Are Spurs in a relegation fight?

I mean, the fans had had enough.

ESPN FC
Gab & Juls Show: Are Spurs in a relegation fight?

A lot of the players thought he was far too intense and going from one emotion to another very quickly, which is very much him.

ESPN FC
Gab & Juls Show: Are Spurs in a relegation fight?

But in a way, I'm not surprised.

ESPN FC
Gab & Juls Show: Are Spurs in a relegation fight?

Do you think he gets another big job after this?

ESPN FC
Gab & Juls Show: Are Spurs in a relegation fight?

I think there's still clubs, including Spurs, who still like...

ESPN FC
Gab & Juls Show: Are Spurs in a relegation fight?

the good things that they see about Roberto de Zerbi, that they saw at Marseille, that they saw at Brighton, I think there's a lot of... He comes with a lot of baggage.

ESPN FC
Gab & Juls Show: Are Spurs in a relegation fight?

The intensity being one of the weaknesses that he has because the problem with that kind of intensity and emotional side of you as a manager is that you go up and down so quickly that I think, in a way, the players could lose you, the fans lose you, the club loses you too at the wrong time.

ESPN FC
Gab & Juls Show: Are Spurs in a relegation fight?

Yeah, I agree.

ESPN FC
Gab & Juls Show: Are Spurs in a relegation fight?

West Ham stopped Manchester United and Michael Carrick's winning run stopped by four.

ESPN FC
Gab & Juls Show: Are Spurs in a relegation fight?

There would be no five, so that kid conquered his hair still.

ESPN FC
Gab & Juls Show: Are Spurs in a relegation fight?

Is that a setback, Neds, or you take a point away like that?

ESPN FC
Gab & Juls Show: Are Spurs in a relegation fight?

yeah so jules it's not just frank then we've had another manager sites in the premier league yeah because i woke up to your message this morning because you took the train very early from manchester saying that she's gone which i have to say i was asleep at half midnight when forest put that statement out they love putting those statements out i think they did the same when the site was the co-group was right in the middle of the night or something i'm not a dash fan i never really like him as a coach i don't i don't know him as a person

ESPN FC
Gab & Juls Show: Are Spurs in a relegation fight?

But 114 days in, in his last six Premier League games, there's two wins, three draws and only one loss.

ESPN FC
Gab & Juls Show: Are Spurs in a relegation fight?

It felt brutal to me.

ESPN FC
Gab & Juls Show: Are Spurs in a relegation fight?

But then again, they drew nil-nil at home to Wolves on Wednesday night, although they expected goals super high and they had enough chances to win and that's not on him.
