ever turn up in big games? All four were abysmal today. And Son getting his third red card in what six months is the height of stupidity, he had won the freekick, then his discipline let`s him down once again. He needs a long rest from the side if he cannot keep his discipline. The other three may as well not have been on the pitch, they were that poor. In fact the whole team, Sissoko apart were frankly awful. Gazziniga in goal WTF was he doing?
The midfield is awful, no creativity, Sissoko gives effort, but the rest of them today were so poor. I still maintain that if Eriksen is at the club he has to start, N`dombele as well. Verts is all but done now, he was absolutely done for pace time and time again this afternoon.
Anyway no point in dwelling to much, games will come thick and fast now, but really Dier needs to be dropped, bring in Eriksen and N`dombele to start against Chelsea. Lo Celso nowhere to be seen again, so don`t think he is in the plans going forward.
Cannot be any worse against Brighton, than today, and they owe us a performance. The good thing about the current team, is that they blow hot and cold, never really know what to expect, so expect a completely different Spurs against Brighton.
Kane, Dele, Son and Moura do they

I no longer trust these "must-win" games. Reminded me of the simple match we needed to win last season to go top of the league. Point being, we blatantly don't even look like we are trying to win. Wolves were immense. Chelsea today looked like they didn't even care.
Was just reading up on this earlier. Make of it what you will:
"The 1984 UEFA Cup Final was a football tie played on 9 May and 23 May 1984 between R.S.C. Anderlecht of Belgium—the defending Champions—and Tottenham Hotspur F.C. of England.
Years later, it emerged that Anderlecht's passage to the final had involved the club's chairman paying a bribe totalling £27,000 to the referee for the semi-final against Nottingham Forest. A dubious penalty was awarded to Anderlecht, whilst a Forest goal was controversially disallowed."

This game. Football. Hmmm...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It absolutely goes on, suitable palms are greased etc
It happens in other sports that involve far less money than football, what with all the money sloshing around in football anybody who thinks all is above board is very naive indeed.

Thank you
Exactly.

Sandy basically admitting what I said months ago; that any manager would be hamstrung by this weak minded group of technically inept players.

Am sure there is no connection here at all

No connection between the two indeed. That is the issue

Yes, our midfield was not up to this game.
So they had more possession.
But they really have just one player, Willian who won this game for them.
We had two decent chances to score in the first half, one to Kane and one to Son and both went into row Z.
Had either scored, it would be a different game.
Not such a blow out as some are saying!
And where are Levy's midfield purchases?

You just know if this poor performance and result was under Poch, those players wouldn't even be mentioned.

Lets be brutally honest and say we have a lot of players that simply are not good enough.
But for the Poch lovers lets remember he put this squad together.
For the Jose lovers lets not forget he keeps picking Dier and Sissoko, he watched Olypiakos tear us a new one and had to make a change after 30 minutes. He watched Utd make us look awful and he watched Wolves tear us apart albeit that we stole a result.
Yet he still picked Dier and Sissoko.
Both Poch and Jose earn millions from the game yet there is not a Spurs fan that I know of or speak to that thinks those two are a good combination.
How the hell do two of the top rated football managers in the world think it is a good combination?
It beats me it really does
