Not blaming him but he's just very very average and we shouldn't be relying on him for any senior games. Needs to go out on loan and get games but I struggle to see him being good enough for us sadly

He’s not looked special but it’s difficult. He needs a proper centre mid in there with him for a while before we judge too quick. He looks Scott Parker like.

I thought Foyth was great, and young Skipp equitted himself well I thought.

The onus was on Lucas and Llorente and they're not performing.

Pathetic that people are giving him stick.

Stick can be given today absolutely, but he’s not deserving of it. You want to pick on a ( very overrated on here ) youngster, look at KWP. That handball was as bad a piece of defending you’ll ever see on a football pitch. Utterly moronic.

I think we have 5 full backs and only one is good enough. Danny

I agree the handball was stupid, but that aside, I thought KWP had a really good and committed game. Skipp gave the ball away a few times but was always fighting for the cause.

Watford game takes huge significance now - can't possibly afford to let this Cup form now permeate into the League campaign.

Another season without domestic silverware though is utterly disappointing though, let's not sugar coat it...
Tbh top 4 is a big ask now, especially with some of hideous games we have left. Hope Levy will be pleased at the end of the season that his stubborn policy of not bringing in players will be rewarded with the Europa League being played at the new stadium.

To be expected, just too much quality missing.

People will be digging out individuals all night but look it's alot easier for trip, Lucas and lamela to play their natural game when they're working with top top attacking talents and kwp when he's playing in his natural role


Good to see wanyama get time, hopefully no more reactions in his knees. We really need him now

We sure could have used Dembele today. I suppose we needed to get a few million off of him for ENIC's pocket book never to be reinvested in the squad instead of walking away free in the Summer.

Even he wouldn't be at the top of my list. He's just got so little experience, having never been on loan, only had one season I think even at U21 level and has had very occasional minutes for us. Of course most people in that situation are going to struggle under pressure, and he did in that moment - his position wasn't great, he panicked and did anything to get it away. I think there's a huge benefit of competitive action in getting used to that and yet our most promising youngsters generally aren't getting any before they're dumped into a senior game in front of millions to make a mistake and become a scapegote.

Disgraceful that we're now approaching 4 days of the January window left open and all we hear from Poch is that "we'll try but we will only act if we find someone that can improve the squad" - what a load of shit - right about any decent player would improve on this lot out on the field today. The likes of Grealish, Bowen and any other decent Championship player would be a certain addition. Not even starting to think about the likes of Ndombele, Rabiot, Berge etc - players we SHOULD be able to afford considering the size of this club. Pathetic that it's come to this.

In no decade since the 40s, interrupped by the war, have Tottenham failed to win a trophy. What do you reckon we're going to win this decade? The Premier League from nine points down without a squad, or the Champions League?

We could hope for a Russian invasion..

Can only imagine we will be told we were unlucky, that we battled hard and were positive and that we played with real bravery again. That we should all be proud of the players no doubt.

You’ve compiled a list of mostly correct statements?

You actually wasted time doing that? Congratulations.
You mean hitting Quote+ every time I see someone attack Skipp or KWP over the course of three pages ? Or did you agree with the bit where Poch deserves to get the sack.
