Those players should hang their heads

Sandy has it dawned on you now that Aurier is shiiit ?

Steady on, he`s not that good

Sandy...First off, that VAR decision to disallow Kane's goal for a "handball" by Lucas Moura who was falling down onto that arm and not even looking towards the ball, is the most atrocious VAR decision I have ever seen.
Explain it, if you can?

At half-time Spurs were 1-0 down, with an obvious goal disallowed, and certainly having the better of the game.
If only Sissoko could shoot they may well have been up 2.
I think the team was playing well.
Perhaps Mourinho's selection was not the best?
And certainly the back four are not good enough.
But will your favorite owners do anything about that?

Decent little stat here from BBC, showing the decline of the "Special" One...

Jose Mourinho has lost seven Premier League games as Tottenham manager, one more defeat (6) than he suffered in his first two seasons in the competition as Chelsea boss (2004-05/2005-06) combined.

Well, I've watched the full replay now.
First off, the disallowed goal for "hand ball" was absolutely rediculous, no matter how you read the rule.
Michael Olivier, VAR ref, should be banned from refereeing VAR for that.

Second....
"Need to shift on players like Lamela, Moura, even Son and Kane don't look up for it. Big change of direction needed."

This is all wrong.
What is needed is a totally new back four.
Those were the players who could not defend and let in 3 very soft goals.
Will Sandy's favorite club owners cough up the money?

Midtable or worse next season!

Oh yes, and Sandy's favorite manager has to take some blame for his choice of starting eleven.
Ndombele should have been on from the start.

But overall....... leaving Alderwiereld on the bench, and starting with
Davies, Dier, Sanchez, Aurier
was a recipe for disaster, .... and that is what happened.

Ndombele was poor tbf Ted. He didn't want the ball tonight, kept showing up in a weird nothing patch between LB and CM.

I'm one of the lad's biggest supporters but I fear Mourinho has gutted his confidence

I totally disagree with that.
First off, he should have started the game. A starting midfield of
Ndombele, Lo Celso, Sissoko
would have powered the game and given Kane more service.
Secondly, coming on at minute 67 two goals down, he was a force in midfield in a cameo appearance, and never lost a single ball. If you noticed, their defense backed off every time he got the ball.

I do agree that Mourinho has not managed him well, but his fellow players have been pleading his case.

He should have started the game.

Our real problem is the back four.
We have an age problem, and the old crew must be replced.
