Nothing else to say... you pretty much nailed it
Great support and only one thing matters right now........winning the FA cup by any means........
In addition to your point about the chuckle brothers...... There's NO POINT playing 2 totally reactionary players in Winks & Dier as it simply left Son & Moura totally isolated for large parts of the game/ chasing long balls with no proper CF to play off. Spurs improved so drastically when Dele & Gedson came on coz they actually play with some desire and initiative. We have seen it over previous weeks with the impetus provided by Lamela & GLC when they played in the middle of the park.
There is no point playing with a DM if the options in that position simply aren't good enough
Thank God we have 11 days off now for Jose to address these abject performances. Luck can only get you so far.
also nothing sticks with our forwards. they rush, rush to turn, rush to pass. if only they showed more composure in build up play.
we had a few overlaps and failed to make the most of them
Since we sold Dembele we have no control over games. Winks & Dier are nowhere near good enough & NDombele is starting to look like a total "pup". Without Kane our only style of play seem to be to invite teams on to us & hope to hit them on the break.... Its really dangerous ploy against good teams and leaves us requiring a lot of luck (last 2 games)
The squad is so unbalanced its ridiculous...As always, its the spine of the team that sets you up for success..... GK & CBs past their best, No control/ tempo in the middle of the pitch & an over-reliance on one CF who misses large chunks of every season..... Total Mess
Thought Winks was ok. The problem is Dier... He's terrible.
Son and Lucas can't pass. We had 2 3on2 situations where neither of them could pass to the man on the overlap.
Lloris looked shaky as fack too.
However, we somehow got the win. Norwich at home next which should be our ticket to the quarters. Get a good tie and avoid the top 6, and we'll be in the semis
Good article. Dele was missed from the start of the match as well. Him, Stevie B and GLC will hopefully start against Villa. Thought Serge played ok yesterday. As for Ndombele, I would start him on the bench until further notice. The way he gave up Boufal in the first half showed he is clearly not fit enough. I would even play Lamela ahead of him IF he is ever fit enough. Glad Gedson did well when he came on as he will surely get more minutes after the break.

Moura and Son always seem to be trying to control the ball with their backs to the goal. They should be looking to run on to the ball, not the other way around.

I agree, I really don`t see the point of playing either Dier or Winks, neither do what they are supposed to do anyway, and that is shield the defense. Most opposition just walk straight past the pair of them. Totally ineffective. May as well just go all attacking midfielders.

You said it all right there...." Winks is OK".... Really average footballer that always takes the safe option and offers nothing at either end of the pitch.... He's the poster boy for useless passing stats. Dembele never had great stats but he made everyone else in team better with his ability to hold and use the ball allowing others to find space. Winks just passes it for the sake of it....I've never seen a player that I think the opposition fear less

I think one of our supporters said he had made the most passes forward of any DM in Europe. What an absolutely useless stat, if most of them go straight to the opposition.
We will win something with Jose I’m pretty certain mate. Wether it’s this season who knows, but next season you truly judge him. I agree, he’s getting results where at times we didn’t deserve, but you know what ? I’m enjoying it I’m enjoying being the lucky team for once. How many times have we lost finals, semi finals and messed up when it truly mattered ?
To be honest 7 or 8 of Southampton’s players would walk into this spurs side. Shows how bad we’ve become. Yes we are winning, so can’t complain, but for how long? We probably need 5 or 6 players in the summer. Levy might deliver 2 if we’re lucky. The signs are not good at spurs.
