I think you're wrong on some things, especially the stuff about players having heads turned. The reason we don't press is that at Wembley that can exhaust you. Poch is having to adapt his tactics, the ones that have served the team so well. We are having a dip at the moment, and maybe that second half will serve us. The problem has been the poor first halves.We will be lucky to finish in the top 6 at this rate.
We are now very poor defensively, we concede in most matches.
We are also very poor as an attacking side, we rarely score more than one goal.
These things together mean we will win very few matches.
A hallmark of Spurs teams over the past two years is that we played with an incredible intensity and tempo, the Bournemouth, Utd, Palace, Arsenal, West Brom and Leicester games have all been very similar in the sense that we play with almost 0 intensity and let the opposition set the pace of the game, we don't press and are very easy to get behind and score against if the opposition tries to.
Part of the reason is that I think most or indeed all of our main players have had their heads turned. We let Kyle Walker go to City, he will walk the PL earning triple the money, our other players see this and (rightly) want that too.
Danny Rose was 100% right with everything we said at in the summer and the failure to heed his warning is coming home to roost. Walker, Rose, Dier and Alli are all friends, they will know what he is getting paid and they also know they won't get that at Spurs and because of that their heads have gone and their form has nose-dived. Eriksen too now looks disinterested.
I think Poch has lost control of this group of players, we will struggle in the league for the rest of the season and all of those listed, along with Eriksen and Toby will move on in the summer.
If we are lucky we will keep Poch, Kane, Jan and Hugo and have to rebuild again in the summer.
Being honest I am not sure I can really be bothered to watch another cycle that is set up to fail as we never invest when we are on the crest of a wave.
I really, really hope I'm wrong.
