Because they've played decent sides since they beat us.

“Heh, we won two cups so are the best team after City, heh.”
57 league games since the Carabao Cup win over Newcastle and we have a GD of +1. Let that sink in.
The excuses for this guy. The standards he’s sunk this club to are unforgivable.
Maresca has Chelsea playing some lovely stuff, second in the league with a positive goal difference and getting performances out of Sancho. All within several games.

Yup. Chelsea are so much better than us and are flourishing under Maresca.It's crazy isn't it? All we've heard is "at least we aren't Chelsea". They get a decent manager and look what happens.
But no, not us. Let's stick with a manager who will keep us firmly mid to low table, playing some awful football.
Tantrum? The stats and shite I see posted on these forums are embarrassing and indicative of the social media culture we now live in. You see random tweets from some kid in his basement being used a gospel with no foundation, and stats that are isolated and meaningless being used to drive home narratives.
Naive as fk.
You see there are VG Ole backers still on here, so there will be a % of hopers on here.Todays results are just another indication of how poor we’ve been this season. Surely, even the 20%’ers must be seeing the light now?
I guarantee you it's just a matter of time now.
Chelsea getting their act together mounts the pressure even more. Liverpool still going well, Arsenal and City naturally still miles ahead.
This match against Tottenham is a timely one.
Both sides are flailing badly. If we lose tomorrow, I think it's as good as over for Ten Hag, even if the trigger isn't pulled directly after that game.

I honestly doubt we will. Our defending looks worse at home than away and that may be due to the players trying to be more aggressive from the front. Tottenham are just the kind of team we lose to ( team that plays well in batches, and can press really high and are underperforming coming into the game). I won't be surprised if Vicario turns into prime Lev Yashin and Solanke finally plays well gor his new club under the lights of the "Theatre of Dreams"I think we'll probably win. Both sides are absolutely shite but the home advantage may sway it for us.
At least 4 points in the next two matches or he must be sacked!!!........otherwise we have no chance to get CL football next season.
Dragging a consistent top 4 club down to midtable suggests he's worse than than that.Premier League Record
- Matches - 81

Definition of midtable manager?
Well as someone who has been saying we've deserved more from our previous games this season, I'd say if he fails to win all of them, he should be relieved of his duties. At some point he has to start combining performances with results and consistently too.Yeah, as others have said Palace result doesn't look great after they lose at Everton and as Brighton lose at Chelsea.
Maresca doing well at Chelsea so far and it doesn't help ten Hag's case. Same for Slot who's had a good start.
Spurs, Porto and Villa could all end up in defeats (possibly in wins as well). Big 7 days coming up for ten Hag starting tomorrow. 7 points out of possible 15 so far in league is not good enough but beat Spurs and Villa and it looks much better. Drop points against both and we're even further away from top 4 and surely he's in real danger.

I think his sacking is closer than most think. If he drops any points from the spurs or villa game he’s done. We can’t afford to drop any more points so early in the season and throw away the rest of the season.Yeah, as others have said Palace result doesn't look great after they lost at Everton and as Brighton lost at Chelsea.

Yup. It was a honking result. We should have beaten them by at least two goals.It was always a terrible result despite how some tried to dress it up. There's a reason they're 17th with 4 points after 6 games.
Highly unlikely.Yeah we'll win, and he'll suddenly be proclaimed genius and there's nothing but good times ahead.
Hopefully it’s a non issue but if we drop points tomorrow, he won’t be sacked.I think his sacking is closer than most think. If he drops any points from the spurs or villa game he’s done. We can’t afford to drop any more points so early in the season and throw away the rest of the season.

Chelsea just beat Brighton 4-2 and Palace just lost to Everton (and are the only team to play 6 games and have just 3 points. They look like genuine relegation contenders right now). Even if some of our performances have been decent, it really needs to be emphasised more how easy our opening fixtures have been, and our results are awful. We need to see massive improvement in the next 3 games against Spurs, Porto and Villa.
Yup. I unfortunately can’t see any improvement happening either.The thing is I don't think we'll see any improvement. I've been waiting for things to click, so to speak.
However at this stage I think this is it. There is no click to look forward to.
Boring stodgy football with an attack as sharp as a sideways banana.
It's not happening under Ten Hag.
Moments FC we most definitely are and I don't see it changing under TH.
I thought we would beat Spurs tbh. Spurs have looked poor for a long time and we needed the win more. The performance against Twente made me a bit more nervous though. Never felt good about the Villa game and tbh I suspect that will probably be ETH's last game.The thing is I don't think we'll see any improvement. I've been waiting for things to click, so to speak.

I can’t see us beating Spurs. If I were a betting man I’d put money on them. I will be pleasantly surprised if we win tomorrow.I thought we would beat Spurs tbh.

Last season it was ange and Spurs now it's Pizza Pep and Chelsea.
I agree with the sentiment that our manager is on his last chance saloon but can we stop assuming clubs have their act together when they're still in a honeymoon period with a new coach? We make this mistake time after time after time.

They are historical rivals after all, heh.Let's be real, a draw against Spurs at home would be hailed by a large portion of the fanbase as a positive result against a strong team and a potential turning point for our season.

don't know why, but today really has shown thatDisheartening watching the other PL games on a weekly basis and seeing just how far behind we are in terms of tactics or setup. Million miles away.
