Looking more and more likely we're gonna have to win the CL to be in it in our first season in our new stadium. Massive shame and in my opinion it is a huge underperformance from this side and manager to not get top 4.

Son needed to be replaced in the first half.
Either he was also ill, or he just had a bad day, be he was invisible all game.
Subbing Son off was one of his best decisions

Kane also barely touched the ball in the first half. Unless he was ill it was a shitty decision. Fair enough there could be more of the side ill than we though but if not it's diabolical.

Why do we consistently piss away our chances for any chance of progress? Just when a potential opportunity opens up for us to create a distance between us and those below, or close the gap above us, we absolutely shit the bed. Every. Single. Time

Top 4 was over last season, and the season before that.

Having said that, with our whiny fanbase, people will want Poch sacked if we finish 5th.
It’s 100% not over but our next 3 games are key now, we need 2 wins at least.

I think we put a bunch of clones on the pitch today with the real players lazing around in Barcelona somewhere. Luckky to get a point out of the game in truth

Yup, we didn't look remotely fussed pretty much for the full 90. No idea how people are picking scapegoats, as everyone had a bad day at the office. Could have really done with 3 points...

Looks like we’re gonna have to navigate the small task of winning the Champions League.

Dier must have some extremely compromising photos of pochettino, because no matter what he’s in the team week after week, he offers fuck all, Wanyama done more in his 10 minutes (bar his stupid shot at the end) than Dier done all game.

The week in Barca has done wonders for us
I was sitting watching shouting they look like they'v all been on the piss last night. Forgot about the trip to Barca. Must have had a good time.
I think the team selection was just shit. Thats what did us. That and the mind boggling subs.

Poch's late substitutions remind me of BMJ's late subs too but I love both mgrs. Its just so infuriating.

I’m not a Sissoko fan but he was by no means our worst player today, an easy scapegoat but an unfair one in this game

He’s just a poor footballer, his technique is awful. Him, Aurier and Sissoko on the same side makes everything so erratic too.

I agree he was far from our worst player today ( Dier and Dele definitely competing for that title ) but there is a case of ‘Sissoko not being our worst player = cut him some slack’ going on at the club.

May get caned on the ratings but I don't think Sissoko played that bad today. Would have swapped him for lamela and not son but at the end he was one of the players who actually had energy left and was trying to drive on.

Lamela is not going to hit form without playing for more than 30 minutes a match consistently.. Ffs he should have started, Poch...
30 minutes? You're being kind as that suggests Poch actually would make a sub at 60 mintutes. Technically he is going to need 2x as many games then with Poch's 75th minute subs. No pressure lads.

A bad 2 points dropped. We have had made it difficult for ourselves but there is plenty to go in this season to finish in the top 4.

Don't know why we are bringing on Wanyama on at 85 minutes, when going for the win. Also, think it's time Vic gets a start.

We need another attacking option added to the squad this month.
