Possibly one of the worst Spurs performance I’ve watched in some considerable time, from over 35 years watching many iffy Tottenham games, usually when we were primed for another reinvention…
Is José Mourinho in fact, an imposter?!
Not entirely, as I believe there’s a lifetime of difference between the training ground and the actual Premier League itself, and that the gaffer has been let down.
IF that’s a lie, then I trust the Dele Alli fanboys won’t be piling on the Portuguese Pulis tonight. The Milton Keynes Mauler was abysmal in every respect.
Who’s to blame, then?
What I can tell you, is that not one single forward Tottenham player featured at the top of any stats related discipline, such as shots, chances or take-ons.
These are individual flaws, not tactical ones. Our players must have known they were expected to shoot, create chances and take-on the opposition…
This squad needs a wake-up call, far too many complacent players in the squad, who think they are safe from being transferred.
As Gary Neville said during the first half that we didn’t have a plan, after the first pass. Chillingly accurate. Do players earning what Spurs players do, really need a coach for that?
Embarrasing.
We’ll dig deep into the stats tomorrow, but the fundamental issue José faces when reconstructing Spurs is finding not just the right personnel but the right players to implement any plan.
