Some knee-jerking expected after today's result and I can't criticise it.
Today's performance was absolutely sub-standard and there is no excuse for it.

My guess is he didn't want to totally destroy him after his last horror show against WB.
But I agree, he should have come off. Don't want to see him there again tbh.

United and Liverpool also lost this weekend, it's been a strange start to the season. Yes, we were incredibly poor today but there is still a long way to go. Fazio and Verts should be our 1st choice cb pairing, Walker right back and Davies left back. Lamela kept trying to showboat way too much. Need to keep it fast and simple. The lad has got the skill, but he overplayed it a lot. Ade couldn't even get his head on the ball, how?! What I don't understand, is how this same XI played so well going forward last week. What happened to that performance and the one v QPR? We've shown we ae capable, but for whatever reason we don't do it consistently.

Dunno, maybe the £60k or so they're getting this week is a reason they should bother

This bunch of players really are a bunch of lazy delicate flowers who know at the end of the day the manager will take the blame.. not to say Pochettino didn't make mistakes today with starting Chiriches ahead of Jan & picking Ade after last wks performance the substitutions were baffling, I do really feel sorry for anyone who has to coach this lot, you might as well be banging your head against a wall than expect them to show some fight.. Do they care ?.. I doubt it

Said Thursday night that we looked like AVB's team this time last season....I don't know, I really don't.

I think the mistake we have made is going into the season with Ade and Soldado as our main strikers.
We should have taken a loss on Soldado and got him out. Athletico or Valencia would have taken him.
We needed to bring in someone better suited for the PL.
Next mistake was not addressing the lack it midfield creativity. I know we "tried hard" for Schneiderlin as we did with Moutinho before him but when this type of player could change the face of our play so severely we need to be doing a little more than try hard.

They paid good money to go and watch that crap rather than sitting at home on their computers posting crap in a forum.
We're going to get spanked by Arsenal next week
If it wasn't for Lloris and the ref missing Ade's handball today we'd have lost 3 or 4 nil as it is
We're shocking at the back with Kaboul and Chiriches (not to mention our full backs being so weak positionally)
From set plays our defending is awful and we leave players free all the time
Capoue has been shocking and Dembele was no better today
We have no pace, no power and no penetration up front, we don't even look like scoring goals. We were home to a team who had not one a game all season today and failed to carved out more than a half chance all afternoon
This is really hard to watch and we've not spent money wisely in the last few windows, we've turned the best squad I've ever seen into a weak, slow, group of players with no leaders, no fight and no compatibility to form a unit with our in and our transfers
What does it say that after all the money spent it took Lennon to come on to finally give us some attacking momentum and speed to actually give WBA something to think about?
Why did we buy Vlad? he's a nightmare at CB

Didn't we finish just a win or so off a top four spot last season?
Didn't we sign seven players two seasons ago?
Just when does "taking time" end as an exvuse?

I disagree, its easy to have an opinion like this when we are playing shit. AVB was tactically clueless too lets face it. Name the last Spurs manager that was tactically spot on?
It will get better I'm sure of it, it really hurts at the moment though. The players are to blame here not the manager.
