Can’t defend it

Even I’m not going to sit here and defend the utter dross Jose and the players have conjured up this month. Utter w*** the whole lot of them. Can’t defend from a set piece and never seem to learn. That’s now 4 late goals conceded directly from a set piece. Utter shambles Defending for our lives the whole game in every 2nd half is getting tiresome very quickly. It’s a collective mixture of them all. The manager is to blame, but so are the players. How do you continuously make the same mistakes from a set piece time and time again? Another season of hope is slowly going down the s*** tter in true Spursy fashion like every single season. I am so sick of it.

I was excited with things before the West Ham result. We had good attacking spells in matches, scoring lots of goals, near the top of the table, and was optimistic about the squad with new additions of Bale and Reguilon. Since the West Ham game we've been scoring far less and have had large chunks of boring defensive play with few chances.

I honestly believe that West Ham result has changed Jose's approach for the worst. Started off ok with the wins and clean sheets. Performances were never very convincing but defensively solid. Only just sneaked wins against Brighton and Burnley. Now it's become too much of the same and we've been found out and don't create enough to score more goals and win a match through a 90 minute period.

We are currently stuck in a boring, creativeless rut with no plan B and it doesn't look like ending.

Do you still think Mourinho guarantees us trophies Don? I mean sure we are in a League Cup semi against Brentford but we'd have to play either United or City in the final and frankly we don't look good enough at the moment and my enthusiasm for the way we play is such that winning a small domestic cup is little consolation.

I don’t bloody know mate. We are still in with a shout and if we can win it, he has done something no other manager could in recent years, but I’m starting to get fed up of the disappointment of supporting Spurs every season.

I want him out of the club as soon as possible

Jose's finished, Bale's finished... Levy chucked all our money at yesterday's men in a desperate attempt at winning a trophy

Levy needs to follow Jose out of tbe door.

If mourinho persists with this ridiculous all out defence tactic against everyone then he can fack off. Not only because it’s horrible to watch, but because it doesn’t work. We will drop so many points playing this way. Need second goal to kill games. Another facking set piece too. You have to laugh. Absolutely facking pathetic

We have to win a trophy though. I’m not changing my opinion about this. The club have been underachievers for far to long, so a trophy is literally a must this season. That being said, this whole going 1-0 up and defending for 85 mins isn’t what I want to see. 2-0 up? More understandable, but we have dropped stupid points this month because of it
