One of the worst technical performances from us in a while. So many poor touches and bad simple passes. Really wish we'd stop playing 3511 against bus parkers, and especially bus parkers who play with a back five.

We are miles off this season. Wont get top 4 unless something changes. I love the guy but Poch has to take the blame for how slowly we start games at home. How many first half goals have we scored at home this season?

May be a bad time to compare our left backs but Rose is superior to Ben Davies. He has some x-factor while Davies has none.

A complete fucking shambles today.
How is it possible for us to play like we did against Liverpool,Dortmund and Madrid then serve up that utter shit? It's not the first time either against inferior opposition at Wembley.
The league is now gone, simply not good enough.
Go all out for the Champions League and FA Cup whilst hopefully getting top four.

So many of our collective and individual deficiencies (coaching staff included) highlighted by a simple defensive setup. If a team is going to setup in a low block Davies and Trips doesn't work as we have no width. When they do present themselves none of our players can play that long diagonal reliably except Toby. We play so narrow with players that are not technically able or not inclined to play in those tight spaces.

We need more quality up top for all of those positions. All of our attacking players need competition. Danny Rose was right. If he and others have to deal with real competition then our attacking players need it as well. And Poch has to have the balls to actually sit the 'big' players unlike leaving Dele and Dier on today.

I just don't know how many times we have to see this slow shit football at Wembley against bus parkers before we actually even look like switching it up or really trying to up the tempo. It's like we're going into each of them hoping for the best but never altering the way in which we play. Just slowly side to side until we somehow find a breakthrough. I hate watching us in these home matches against the so called lesser teams, i really do.

Kane working so hard all game. Must be frustrating for him watching how most others just stroll around most game..

until we find a way/system/player that enables us to effectively beat the bus parking negative fucks this will be commonplace as there are loads of them in the league now.
And to think that some on here said Isco wouldn't get into our first 11.

Jesus we nearly lost it there
Such a poor performance and now 2 very tough away games coming up

Makes me laugh reading some posts from this week where people didn't see us dropping any points between now and City away - always knew this was gonna happen, I said it last Sat
Can't worry about city mate there is massive daylight between us and them it's between them and Utd, we will struggle to get top four with this inability to see off average teams and I don't believe Wembley is the factor here.

The knee jerk is so fucking annoying. Yes it's an annoying result, but the performance wasn't anywhere near as bad as everyone is making out. PARK BUSING TEAMS ARE HARD TO BEAT

People calling us legends and saying poch needs to be 'seriously questioned' are embarrassing, we've just topped out champions league group, we're 4th in the league all whilst playing every game away from home

The entitlement from our fans now is unbearable
It's not that bus parkers are easy to beat, but that Pochettino makes things harder for himself by not having the right players on the bench.

The general standard of our first touch today was really poor. Balls bouncing off shins, heavy touches, not controlling it. That type of thing is infectious.

Burnley. Swansea. Bournemouth. Palace. WBA. At what fucking point does it cease to be a knee jerk? If you don't believe we have a serious problem against teams that sit in a low block then you've got your head buried in the sand.

Think he is overdue a rest. Especial with his workload for Denmark also. Problem is we have no one to come in and replace him.
Need greater squad depth/quality.

We have Lamela of course once he is mentally ready to play. Give him another year and he’ll be back.
