Different manager, same result – predictable Tottenham lose to Man City

Tottenham lost the Carabao Cup this afternoon in what one can only describe as the most predictable final ever.

Jose Mourinho may well have been in charge for what we witnessed today.

It was total domination from Man City from the first to the last and they deserved their win. Tottenham offered up next to nothing, sadly.

The lads put the effort in but only in defending, there was no creative spark, no attacking intent, no vision, no ambition at all.

Whether Ryan Mason sent them out to play this way or whether the players just reverted to what has been hammered into them for the last 18 months, who knows but it really was a case of the same old same old.

To lose in a final 3-0 but having put up a hell of a fight is better than losing 1-0 after an abject surrender and we were served up the latter.

Tottenham is in a mess, on and off the field, and it is going to take a massive rebuild to get the club back competing at the highest level.

Today could have been so much better but it was what most of us predicted and the result at the end of the game was another loss and the wait for silverware goes on.
