I’d preface my remarks but pointing out the obvious here, in so much that the team are simply an element of the blame hierarchy at Spurs. Levy frustrates Pochettino, who in turn frustrates the players whom eventually have you throwing things at your television sets.
Allegedly our captain. Captain Peacock from the TV series ‘Are You Being Served?’ had more meaningful influence over his lunatic staff, than Lloris has over Tottenham players.
Decent keeper when he’s on his game, but an utterly irrelevant captain. May as well give the armband to Chirpy.
Makes Danny Rose look like Diego Maradona. He’s not a wing back, just like Kieran Trippier isn’t a wing back.
Needless to say he’s on a recently fattened deal. Spurs seem to excel with this type of player. In 20 years time, Ben Davies will be featured at club ‘Legends’ events. Just let that sink in.
I’m getting bored with this now. Sanchez isn’t a rubbish player. Yet again Poch is hammering a round peg into square hole.
The very idea that you have a man like Serge Aurier put in a good shift one game, only to be rewarded with a demotion for the next tells us all we need to know about the gaffer’s mental state.
These two clowns were exceptional. Between them, they completed 28 backward passes. #legends
On an even more damning note, Liverpool must be laughing like hyenas at the thought they were pipped to Dele’s signature.
Worse yet, Eriksen is now is going to be tough – to even giveaway. A sneaky punt on the lad eventually signing an extension deal at Spurs is probably in order.
The tragedy in all of this, is that everything above was avoidable.
None of the root causes to the underlying problems at Spurs are particularly complicated.
Eriksen deserved looking after with a better deal. Sanchez has been left as a spare wheel thanks to the mishandling of the Alderweireld situation.
Davies is great if there’s an injury, less great when there isn’t one. Oh, and our captain got the armband for being pals with the gaffer.
I liked Freud’s 100% attitude but his game looks quite old school now!
Steffen Freund😁
Those players would be sent off every other game these days. You have to be strong and tough in a different way now, look around the league, does anyone have a player like that now?
Even Roy Keane would be walking a red card tightrope and he wasn’t so long ago. The game has changed. Now these sort of players are like Herrera, nasty and sneaky foulers and not the leaders and hard men of the old days…
Winks ain’t cheeky enough.
In the halcyon days we had the great Dave MacKay and to a lesser extent Graham Roberts who stood no nonsense which sadly you can’t say of the current stock!!
All vinyl junkies, needle heads. Record fare. Today. Old spitalfields market EC1. Just saying. Happy Friday everyone.
I wonder how much l£vy got from the monster energy drinks people. A lot I reckon.
The whole team was shit apart from Winks, Moura and a bit of Toby here and there. We move on…
Ndombele had an off game, I think he will come very good. Issue is, he is a mark up on Sissoko (not as good as the mouse) but we need someone that can take that and turn it into something, with CE not playing and Winks thinking passing is about the action not the result, Ndombele will always look average. I agree we need 2 world class midfielders and at least 1 FB each side, that is before we consider next summer we will also need 2 CB’s.
With reputations counting for nothing simply put thats what made Sir Alex “hairdryer treatment” Ferguson and Roy “take no prisoners” Keane such an imperious manager and captain respectively expecting 100% from their players in every match plus dropping big named players when required!
Frankly my dear……. We’re shit
Who on the pitch is gonna kick Kane eriksen and Ali up the arse when they’re not pulling their weight or even suggest to poch such and such a player aint on it today replace him? No one would dare to do so
The penalty should never happen because the ball should have been down the other end of the pitch. Instead Ali thinks he’s in the back field with his mates and tries to play a cute pass on the edge of our box instead of reliving the pressure. He gives it away and then bang, peno. It was reminiscent of the Rose in the Arsenal game. I’t keeps happening because there appears to be no repercussions in the dressing room, somebody that gives them a rocket when mistakes are made. This is where you need leaders or a strong captain. Players need to know that if they take liberties or switch off there’s consequences. i don’t get the sense there is that type of leadership in the Spurs dressing room. It’s alright getting yourself up for Crystal Palace at home but away from home in big matches you need to just clear your lines sometimes. Ali needs to be held accountable for being a dozy self indulgent twat.

28 successful passes…funny as last night felt like we passed to them more than us.
Ali and Eriksen shocking. Eriksen has forgotten how to play or just cannot be ar*sed in this shirt anymore. Should have been hooked off at half time. Ali has lost all the promise of potential and has morphed into a bling boy fluffy gangsta type that provided absolutely zilch. Yep Pooch knows howto develop talent. Davies…. why? Why is he even considered good enough to be anywhere near this club. Cannot cross , passes sideways or backwards and gets reamed for pace time and time again. Sanchez at RB….. really. Winks.. a young Scotty Parker. Lots of heart nothing much else in the creative department. Nodembele… looks ok… not a shadow of Moussa Dembele. We need two world class midfielders. We need two quality full backs who have pace and can cross. (Liverpool types). The impact of our sensational transfer window is non existent on the squad. It looks jaded, and lacking inspiration. The brand of football being played is turgid and dull. We have regressed significantly. Making fourth is about the best I can see us doing and that is going to be a real struggle. Sell Eriksen in January and get Dybala and one other in (isn’t going to happen I know).
Anyone notice the lack of intensity no press no energy no desire ands that because of 4 players delli alli harry kane christian erikson and lucas moura . Christian erikson situation is infectious his lack of desire has made players qurstion why they soupd put in the same effort for a player on his way out harry kane is not pressing anymore because the last time he did he broke his ankle delli alli is done ndoumble is taking the piss with his erratic passing and confusing body movements the other players clearly dont rate him fuck sake sanchez at right back no witdh lost the game to a silly team waste of time even more daming is the fact poch has stated that no one listend to his tactics fuck sake political garbage
