Literallu everyone was terrible. Dier was terrible too, worse than toby. Didn't win the header for the goal, slow out to challenges.
The need for significantly more transfer business is now clearer than ever

Winks can play in a 3 but you need someone creative alongside him.
Davies is a left back for a team like Southampton or Villa. Insane he is first choice for a club that wants top 4 and a trophy.
Toby hasn't looked great for 2 seasons.
Kane has nothing to feed on. I said last season that someone I know spent some time with Kanes father in law at the Chelsea game last season and said he expects this current season to be his last.
Doherty has been great as a RWB but defensively has never been great.
Jose looks a dead man walking already. I dont see how a team that contains Son, Alli and Kane can be so toothless.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm prepared to give Jose some time but I think his the wrong man for the job. He can walk away anytime with his legacy in tact top manager but the game has changed since his heyday.
Its only one game, if its this bad after 8 games he needs
to be sacked and deported.
As for a new manager either get Poch back or go all out for Nagelsmann.

You need to buy some quality players. I look at Spurs and I see Son and Kane, maybe Lloris on a good day,but the rest of your team looks so lacking in quality and utterly uninspirational.
Get Poch back. You swapped a Ferrari for a Skoda.

Dont like Mourinho either but doubt any manager could achieve anything with this squad, it's basically the same squad Poch had with a couple of misfits and bargain bin buys ,needs a major influx of quality players now 2 or 3 quality signings this window, but that wont happen

Yep, I think you are right. You have to find a new Ericksen. Is that gonna be Lo Celso? Not sure.
A few years back you had a superb back 4,but that is no longer the case. Spurs are just a mediocre team at present and what makes it hard is that your manager is not a risk taker. That combo makes for very uninspiring football.
Where I watched it you could barely hear the commentary over Spurs fans swearing was the Dele half time sub tactical?
If yes what a dreadful call that was. At least we gave Pickford something to do (other than catching practice) in the first half.
The second half performance was unforgivable.

Its like something broke in the squad after rtge CL final defeat. They must have thought that's as good as gets.
The club is currently rotten top to bottom. Blame lies solely at the feet of the board. Happy to take the fans money and talk big. Someone said that in the CL final even after the loss the board were making toasts and celebrating that we even got to the final. Says it all. A second best and small time mindset.

We were on a downward slide before the final
It's hard to see how this gets fixed.
Mourinho's thing has always been he'll handle/coach the defense & the attackers can do what they want. When he hasn't got control of the defense that's when the football starts getting painful because he drags the attackers into it which limits their capacity to be expressive.
You needed (IMO) a proper, no BS defensive midfielder this window. I understand the Hojbjerg attraction cos there's similarities to Dembele there in terms of being a DM/CM hybrid type, and long term after Mourinho leaves he'll be a good addition to the squad, but he needed a muncher. Someone like Matic but younger, a decent footballer but an imposing defensive wall first & foremost.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
he has run out of ideas. If your team cant press or refuse to press then set up for the counter. 2 blocks of 4. play a 4411 if he must.
Alternatively try and dominate the ball with technical midfielders that can keep hold
Reflections.
> Pitiful level of passion so disappointing.
> With possible exception of Son, the whole team basically could not be bothered. Really strange, given opening game of the season. Have seen at least 4/5 other teams with 100% more enthusiasm in their first game.
> Newbies - really poor. Both of them. Doherty vs Walker. Big step back. The other one, well I can't remember him doing anything.
> Tactics. again strange. At one point we had three DM's on the field. Why ?
> Kane. Sorry but that is a poor imitation of the players of 3 years ago. He just can't be bothered and never looked like scoring. Again don't remember him being on the field in the second half.
> Dier. If I said it once, I said in a hundred times. Not PL standard. Really don't know what Southgate sees.
Sorry guys, but we are now below Everton in the pecking order, so including Wolves and Leicester, that makes us about 8th at best. We were second only to City just 3 years ago.
Don't even get annoyed with at all anymore. Letting season ticket go was the best thing I did.
Apparently the team lacks physical condition...ideal with not many games coming up
We have a tired old team with same players and chairman/board who harbour no ambition to truly strengthen the playing field. Look at what the other club clubs are doing and look at us. We have spent roughly 10 mil on Doherty and Hojberg when you factor in the KWP sale. Utterly pathetic. There’s not even that lame excuse anymore from Spurs fans with “but we are not Chelsea” , as even Leeds, Newcastle and Everton are at it. Spending money on decent players. All of them made a big difference on the opening day for their clubs. Just depressing being a Spurs fan under these 2 Bob c** losers in charge. Don’t even get me started on Levy.
Levy needs to go with Mourinho.
You're still 12 years trophyless and back in europa league. You've already returned to mediocrity
It is a coaching problem. Spurs pivots in midfield of Hojberg and Winks lack creativity to link the play from defence to attack with quick passing. You need to find an Eriksen type of midfielder or sack Jose.
The Everton midfield were comfortable on the ball to pick a pass and outplayed your team in that area. James did a good job in joining the midfield to create a 4 vs 3.
He can't coach an attacking patern and relies on individual quality. It is all about the defensive organisation for him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Doesn't keep enough clean sheets to suggest he has defensive organisation. We let in far too many goals and that is down to everyone, not just the defence.
We are an appalling side to watch and the results aren't making up for it.

very Fast return to mediocrity beckons..

I'm prepared to give Jose some time but I think his the wrong man for the job. He can walk away anytime with his legacy in tact top manager but the game has changed since his heyday.
Its only one game, if its this bad after 8 games he needs
to be sacked and deported.
As for a new manager either get Poch back or go all out for Nagelsmann.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dont like Mourinho either but doubt any manager could achieve anything with this squad, it's basically the same squad Poch had with a couple of misfits and bargain bin buys ,needs a major influx of quality players now 2 or 3 quality signings this window, but that wont happen
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep, I think you are right. You have to find a new Ericksen. Is that gonna be Lo Celso? Not sure.
A few years back you had a superb back 4,but that is no longer the case. Spurs are just a mediocre team at present and what makes it hard is that your manager is not a risk taker. That combo makes for very uninspiring football.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Its like something broke in the squad after rtge CL final defeat. They must have thought that's as good as gets.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We were on a downward slide before the final

It's hard to see how this gets fixed.
Mourinho's thing has always been he'll handle/coach the defense & the attackers can do what they want. When he hasn't got control of the defense that's when the football starts getting painful because he drags the attackers into it which limits their capacity to be expressive.
You needed (IMO) a proper, no BS defensive midfielder this window. I understand the Hojbjerg attraction cos there's similarities to Dembele there in terms of being a DM/CM hybrid type, and long term after Mourinho leaves he'll be a good addition to the squad, but he needed a muncher. Someone like Matic but younger, a decent footballer but an imposing defensive wall first & foremost.

he has run out of ideas. If your team cant press or refuse to press then set up for the counter. 2 blocks of 4. play a 4411 if he must.
Alternatively try and dominate the ball with technical midfielders that can keep hold

Reflections.
> Pitiful level of passion so disappointing.
> With possible exception of Son, the whole team basically could not be bothered. Really strange, given opening game of the season. Have seen at least 4/5 other teams with 100% more enthusiasm in their first game.
> Newbies - really poor. Both of them. Doherty vs Walker. Big step back. The other one, well I can't remember him doing anything.
> Tactics. again strange. At one point we had three DM's on the field. Why ?
> Kane. Sorry but that is a poor imitation of the players of 3 years ago. He just can't be bothered and never looked like scoring. Again don't remember him being on the field in the second half.
> Dier. If I said it once, I said in a hundred times. Not PL standard. Really don't know what Southgate sees.
Sorry guys, but we are now below Everton in the pecking order, so including Wolves and Leicester, that makes us about 8th at best. We were second only to City just 3 years ago.
Don't even get annoyed with at all anymore. Letting season ticket go was the best thing I did.

Apparently the team lacks physical condition...ideal with not many games coming up

We have a tired old team with same players and chairman/board who harbour no ambition to truly strengthen the playing field. Look at what the other club clubs are doing and look at us. We have spent roughly 10 mil on Doherty and Hojberg when you factor in the KWP sale. Utterly pathetic. There’s not even that lame excuse anymore from Spurs fans with “but we are not Chelsea” , as even Leeds, Newcastle and Everton are at it. Spending money on decent players. All of them made a big difference on the opening day for their clubs. Just depressing being a Spurs fan under these 2 Bob c** losers in charge. Don’t even get me started on Levy.

Levy needs to go with Mourinho.

You're still 12 years trophyless and back in europa league. You've already returned to mediocrity

It is a coaching problem. Spurs pivots in midfield of Hojberg and Winks lack creativity to link the play from defence to attack with quick passing. You need to find an Eriksen type of midfielder or sack Jose.
The Everton midfield were comfortable on the ball to pick a pass and outplayed your team in that area. James did a good job in joining the midfield to create a 4 vs 3.
He can't coach an attacking patern and relies on individual quality. It is all about the defensive organisation for him.

Doesn't keep enough clean sheets to suggest he has defensive organisation. We let in far too many goals and that is down to everyone, not just the defence.
We are an appalling side to watch and the results aren't making up for it.
