He's knackered - completely spent - but we do not have an alternative - this is a major concern.

All a bit puzzling, I reckon and have some realistic hopes that over the course of this season we will hit the highs again and maybe make some new break throughs.
But the games at Wembley against the endless legions of bus parking teams that now constitute the majority of teams in the “world’s most exciting league TM” are becoming a real downer.

A really bad anti football attitude, wasting so much time and foster even stopping a ball boy doing his job, if the premier league think that is a good advertisement for tv viewers around the world they can think again. The ref mike jones should be in deeeep water with the fa.

Unfortunately we will see more of these performances at Wembley this season.

In order to maybe stay a little positive, last season at this stage we had exactly the same points. It was around now we started to really click though and begin building momentum. Looking at our fixtures (ignoring City away where we have no right not to lose way they are) up until the Utd game, if we don't pick up some serious points and get that momentum going then we can write off our chances of top 4 in my opinion.
Last season at this point we won 7 of our next 8, we're going to need to do something similar, next two tricky away games are absolutely huge. Our away form is good, back to back wins will take us into two home games where for the love of god hopefully we finally work out how to beat bus parkers.

Some man jumped up and had a go at me yesterday because I was banging on the roof of the lower tier trying to make some noise as he'd "had enough and was sick of it"
I said why come to football and don't expect any noise and he bizarrely replied "I don't give a shit about the football". I really, really hope these people don't turn up at the new stadium
We really suffer in the middle I think. Alli is a shadow of a player. Eriksen was quiet all season, today he was the worst on the pitch. Dembele fighting with injury still haven't found his form. Winks is good but Dembele at his best give us more IMO. And of course Wanyama who played one game this season.
Davies after good start of the season went quiet as well. Today he was just little bit better than Eriksen. Probably Rose and Aurier on Tuesday and I think we will se the diffrence. Especialy on the left cause Rose showed good signs against Dortmund. Aurier is still erratic but his directness can make the difference.
And we have to give time to players like Edwards, Shashoua or N'koudou. I know that Poch thinks they are not ready but jesus it is impossible to be worst than Alli or Eriksen today. It may just click and they have skills that we are begging for on the pitch.

The American couple next to me didn’t sit down until half way through the first half and missed 20 mins of the 2nd half. Another 3 guys turned up 30 mins late wearing ice hockey or nfl shirts.
I’m not saying these types of people shouldn’t be there as they have paid the money and have just as much right to be there as anyone else, just that it doesn’t create the best atmosphere for the spurs fans or our players
Just checked in to see whether we're still shit, need to sell all our players, sack Pochettino, get relegated and then the world will end - and was surprised to find lots of sensible, reasoned comments. What's going on?
God I love match-day threads.
Anyway - perspective. Yes, we were woeful. And yes, we have had patchy form in the league, and we do need to improve against bus-parking teams. But we're still in a decent position in the league and we'll definitely get better, we're doing brilliantly in Europe and we've got the FA Cup to come. Players form will improve, and they'll return from injury. Pochettino himself will continue to improve. If we get through this season at Wembley in the top four with decent runs in the FA Cup and Europe it will have been a great season, and we can build on that next season. The future's bright, cheer up!

I don't think we will change it seems the ethos is relentless pressure with ball possssion and hope that the other team buckles,but if and when they don't we are fucked and have no other option.

At least the Champions League winds down for 2 months soon and so other teams won't be getting more rest than us. There is absolutely no reason to play a full strength team against APOEL either, we definitely need to be picking up the points over the Christmas period.
Blimey. Someone with a brain who can see the benefits of Sissoko.

...according to the commentators and my expert eye we started 5-3-2 (3-5-2 if you consider the FBs as WBs) and switched to 4-2-3-1 at ~30min in with Dier pushing forward to MF...

Our home form last season was unprecedented for us though. We'd need to start doing better at home to go on such a run.

Who has signed a new contract then? If any of our big players had done so it would be all over the media.
