You were limp Chronic.
As pathetic and lack of fight performance as I've ever seen from Spurs against The Arsenal.
We didn't have to break sweat...

Agree with what you say chronic mate, also thought dembele was our only decent player tonight.

colney

sadly i agree… we were very poor.

hopefully just tiredness rather than lack of ideas/motivation.

its a weird feeling but i didn't get as animated during the game as i usually do for NLDs. not sure why, i guess because its FA Cup, which is disappointing as the cup shouldn't be like that.

Same here... But not because its the FA cup... I've just consigned this season to the garbage can

Thought Capoue should have started.

Don't understand subbing of Soldado for Chaldi

Don't understand not bringing Kane on when Arsenal were down to 10 and we needed a goal

soldado really needs a goal from open play. he keeps dragging his shots. every single one is dragging.

he seems a confident guy as no matter his form he sticks away those pens with confidence.

i believe in him, palace at home up next, won't be a better chance for him to get himself a goal.

I called it in the summer regarding lescott. Now it looks like a goer. Perfect as he can cover centre and left back.

I agree it had the feel of an AVB performance in that I never felt we were going to score. Apart from the Eriksen attempt and Dembele's shot did we test their keeper?

I sadly think that Sherwood is playing 4-4-2 all the time because he's not tactically-minded enough to try other options. I could be wrong, and I know it sounds judgmental but to hear him speak he doesn't sound the brightest does he? In fairness Harry never sounded too bright either though he had the experience and knew when to try a 4-5-1 formation.

Tbh, you weren't even that good in the first 15mins, Chronic.

Spurs were really poor tonight. Think you've been too generous with your ratings for all your midfielders. All four need a point shaving off their scores.

I agree we were awful but any side that has Capoue, Paulinho, Vertonghen, Kaboul, Sandro, Lamela and Townsend missing are going to struggle. No excuses but that's atleast 4 players in there that are guaranteed starters. No excuses because Arsenal were the better side but with some of those players fit we would of given Arsenal a much better game. I still expect to beat them at the lane.

Lescotts not quick either thou.......!!!!

Soldado I thought did OK today linked up play well when he had the ball, it was the feccking defence again that looks like a championshp one at best.

On paper, we were always going to lose against their midfield going 442. That said, we could've taken the lead or equaliser but as usual our forwards fluffed their lines.

possibly, although i have taken into account that they were playing against a 5 man midfield, and also taken into account that Bentelab was very much thrown into that game - only player a couple of games before. thought he handled himself well.

Soldado's all round game has been good in recent weeks, obviously wasn't good today and really needs goals.

Overall Ade was completely out of the game, Eriksen drifted in and out and our defence still looks poor. Didn't look like scoring again. Frustrating but we move on to the next one. Be interesting to see if Rose learns from this error because he hasn't learnt from his previous warnings. If he wants to be a left back he needs to learn quickly.

How come you're making an excuse each time you say "No excuses"??

Tough to blame the strikers, by that logic g00ns could complain they didn't score more.. we were rubbish today

i am furious with rose because i could see it coming a mile off. what on earth was he doing letting the man close him and then after he was closed, instead of hoofing it or passing it back to lloris he tried to turn and dribble the man
