Carriage for Tudor. Has to happen. Spurs wanted to give Igor Tudor four more games, starting with this one. He doesn’t deserve even one more game. He doesn’t actually deserve one more half. That half was humiliating. 4-1 down and should be down to 10 men. Spurs were bad under Thomas Frank. Tudor’s made them worse. Wrong selections, wrong tactics.
Some sympathy for Antonin Kinsky; should never have started. Crazy decision by Tudor to pick him. And now he’s crushed him. Like his team, Tudor has no defence. He has to go. Now.
But the problem runs far deeper than a coach patently out of his depth and urgently needing put out of his misery. Players have to take more responsibility - why is Micky van de Ven flying in recklessly like that? Spurs dragged down by a lack of leadership throughout the whole club: from dressing-room to board-room via those in charge of recruitment and those in the dug-out.
Dismissing Tudor is an easy decision for the board to make. It's the obvious decision. The difficult decision is who should replace him? Fans want Mauricio Pochettino but he's otherwise engaged. For now. Robbie Keane? #THFC #ATLTOT
