getting a point at City, but that performance today was utterly woeful. There was so much wrong with the team, the defence looked awful, the midfield awful, and really City should have won that game at a canter and were only robbed at the end by yet another VAR decision. Spurs were pretty well overrun from start to finish.
Our play today was unbelievably slow, the full backs were woefully out of position time and time again, midfield was completely overrun. Got caught in position so many times, and that nonsense of Lloris passing out from the back, what`s that all about. OK we were playing City, but I expect a lot more, the performance was poor however you look at it.
Poch and the team need to up their game considerably. What`s happened to fast attacking pressing stuff of two or three seasons back? Kane never had a sniff today, complete lack of movement from back to front.
Anyway rant over, move on, hopefully Son, Dele and Lo Celso will be integrated back into the side to give us a bit more vision. Sissoko, Lamela and Winks just do not cut the mustard for me.
Usually I would be ecstatic about

Poch set out with a defensive team, we did well with that team to score 2 goals, team needs to improve a lot, not sure we have the players to get much better, spent some money but nowhere near enough to challenge the top teams

It's a very good away point nonetheless. I wouldn't be worried just yet until we've seen our team over the next few weeks with everyone available
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yup, that is what I hoping for. Son, Dele and Lo Celso to come in. Still have a major problem though with both full backs, unless Sessignon when fit is going to step up to the plate from the off.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thought Danny Rose played well. Don't know why hes being slated

I agree with Sandy 75%.
All this shuffling around in our penalty area just trying to keep the ball, and not showing any attacking prowess, is just asking for trouble. And its boring to watch.
KWP is just not good enough.
Winks is weak too.
Where I differ with Sandy is ....
Lamela had a very good game, scored one and an assist in the other - as great corner.
Lucas Moura too ..... what a true professional!
Others that kept us in the game were Danny Rose, Toby, Sissoko, and Ndombele.
And VAR!!!
I think City must feel like they lost this one even though it was a draw.

I thought he was awful, out of position so many times, and both their goals come from crosses from his side.

Disagree. Rose played a very positive game and gave their defense something to worry about. He was up against the best RB in the league too.
If you didn't like Rose.....how about KWP?

I don't think any if our fullbacks are any good now. Definitely the weak point of the team, along with our current midfield.

Just when did Rose give the city defence something to worry about?
I would not particularly slate him today (no more than I would any other player) but he got in one cross in 96 minutes.
Yep I bet city were worried to death about him and Sanchez kicking the ball bout on the edge of our own area. The only thing Walker had to worry about all game was falling asleep ffs.

Well Walker is the best RB in the prem.
Rose did his job battling Walker, and he did it well.
The same cannot be said of KWP versus Sterling.
How many times did City come down the other side against KWP?
Perhaps today it was the job of our midfield to give City something to worry about?
Now I know you don't like all this sideways play epsecially in our own penalty area. I agree, its boring as best and damned dangerous at worst. But I think POchettino is to blame there, possibly for emphasizing possession and trying to keep the ball away from City. It worked ... we came away with a point ... which I bet you did not expect?
Now then ... a question ... why replace Eriksen with Skip at minute 91?
