Tottenham Hotspur’s pre-season preparations faced a setback with a 4-0 loss to Bayern Munich, triggering waves of reactions from the fans. While a few of the supporters urged perspective, others warned that the result exposed deep-seated problems within the squad and club management.
Razza described the loss as a problematic sign ahead of the competitive season, noting the calibre of the opposition but stressing that this is the level Spurs will encounter in European competition.
“The result is a worrying sign for the immediate future. However, remember that Bayern are real quality. But this is the type of team that we are going to meet in Europe. I really can’t believe the amount of injuries we have already and we can’t blame Ange Postecoglou now, can we? Thomas Frank really needs to work hard now and Daniel Levy even harder. Frank will, but will Levy? If the season sours badly…Don’t blame the manager. The spotlight is on Levy,” Razza said.
Leroy echoed similar concerns about the state of the squad and the challenge facing the new manager. “I really feel sorry for Thomas Frank. He is really up against it with this squad he has inherited. Tottenham need two central midfielders, a striker and a goalkeeper, otherwise they are going to struggle like they did last season,” he remarked.
Mark’s view focused on a perceived lack of depth and creativity. “It’s plain as day to see our squad lacks quality/depth. Our creativity is non-existent, so without reinforcements pronto we won’t be competing in one competition – let alone all of them!” he warned.
Some fans urged calm, pointing out that the result came in a friendly fixture. John highlighted how pre-season form can be misleading. “It’s only a friendly, nothing to get your knickers in a twist about. I’ve had the unfortunate privilege of seeing a far better side being relegated in the 70s after a clean sweep in pre-season matches! I’m not sure Thomas Frank is the way forward,” he said.
Emiliano, a long-time season ticket holder, expressed frustration at what he sees as a lack of progress. “No positives at all for Spurs, just concerns for the coming season. I am a long-time season ticket holder and fear we have made no progress since last season. Every top team has reinforced themselves. As usual, we have been linked with lots of players who were never going to come to us. But it is the usual rubbish to keep the fans happy pre-season that never materialises. I hope we don’t get really embarrassed by PSG, but fear we will. Sadly, mid-table is looming for next campaign. What can we expect with a chairman who cares less about the team but more about how many shirts the shop sells or who he can rent the stadium to?”
Toby’s assessment was blunt, warning of dire consequences if reinforcements are not brought in soon. “Ominous. Strengthen the squad now or face humiliation in the Champions League, a mid-place finish in the Premier League and a continuation of no trophy in either of the domestic cups.”
The comments reflect a mix of frustration, realism, and cautious optimism, but the overall tone points to growing anxiety ahead of the new campaign.
