More than anything I'm shocked that Sissoko finished that game. Staggeringly awful from him. No fight, no desire, nothing.
He has been poor for most of his career with us. Had one good season where he actually worked hard and people thought he was class because he did the bare minimum.

You absolutely can and must blame the manager. He’s been in charge for almost 18 months and has no pattern of play, continually sets us up to fail and his tactics are outdated and don’t suit our squad. What exactly do you think his job is?????
So it’s just the managers fault and no one else?

No there isn't.

We had a fantastic run under poch and a mixture of not refreshing the squad and the manager becoming jaded meant it needed to end.

We then just chose the wrong manager.

Pick the right one next and we will soon be looking up again.

Totally agree. Football has changed. It's about progressive football and high energy. Mourinho doesn't do that. When he finally does we win and then we play a big team and he goes back to being scared and kills of momentum.

He needs to stop being so scared all the time of a big team. He took on Man Utd and destroyed them, he got lucky against Man city and arsenal in the first half of the season. Now his luck has gone

Regardless of whether Jose could still salvage something from this season, I think he's going to have to go after tonight. Let's not kid ourselves though, a whole lot of these players need to go in the summer. We need a massive mentality shift in this club.

This team is crippled with fear, a lack of game-plan and zero team spirit.

Whatever the new Mou was promising to create here, it hasn't worked.

It's incredibly easy to say that in hindsight. I think sacking Pochettino was the right decision but appointing Mourinho was the wrong one.

Sacking Poch was right because we didn't back him. Levy wanted to keep Toby, Eriksen and Dele more. The mistakes were made the 18 months we went without a singing and not letting Poch clear out the rot after Madrid.

Every element of the club is broken, and has been for some time. We have never come close to the heights we reached under Poch, and even then let's be honest, we failed.

From the owner, to the chairman, to the manager, and the players. It's all broken. It has been for decades, and it seems it always will be. New owners is pretty much the only chance we'll ever get to change things and have any chance of winning anything ever again.
And we never got a cheese room in our shiny new stadium

This will be a tough post mortum. Probably the worst we will have since CL final

Lets just remember we are all in this together and football and spurs is an escape from life

If a far inferior managerless club can manage a second leg of a tie at 2-0 down to recent UCL finalists, then those UCL finalists not managing a 2-0 lead away to a far inferior managerless club is purely down to the manager of the managed squad not the managed squad itself.
So the players are blameless?
