We're too predictable against the bus parkers. I'd love to see Dembele at least try to take players on closer to goal. he brushes them aside in deeper positions but never tries to dribble into the area. Kane needs to look for better options than a shot from just about anywhere and we simply need a bit more composure around the opposition box. No point using Llorente either if we don't get any crosses in.

It seems that we are either complacent or fearful of playing in an attacking manner, or a mixture of both. It could also be that coming down from the emotional high of beating top teams affects this team, probably because they don't expect to beat them. This may also be why we haven't done as well against top teams as people seem to think we should. We should stop trying to prove people wrong, the main thing should be not to lose if we don't win. That way, the likes of the Chelsea and ManU results may have been avoided. Part of the lack of confidence going for the jugular may be because we don't have an anchor like Wanyama to mop up afterwards.

Against these bus parkers;

We dont move the ball quick enough. Particularly with dier in the middle.

Too reliant on Alli and Eriksen and they are having too many off days this season.

We’ve been unlucky with Injuries. Bullies win you the ball high up the pitch in midfield and it keeps the pressure building and building. We have missed Dembele and Wanyama so much more then people realise. They were the key at home last year, bossing every single game.

Isn’t bizarre that our worst periods in the league hve been at the same point for all of the last 3 (inc this one)

One of our major problems is having no clue how to break these teams down and hurt them. Pochettino has to come up with some real ideas and implement them into the team ethic.

Teams should come to Wembley shitting themselves, instead, they arrive feeling they can get something out of playing us as we don't have much of a clue if a team sticks ten men behind the ball, and the same will apply to our new stadium when it's ready. We have to think of this NOW, not when we're already playing in our own new home next season. It'll be too late.

Also, they realise they can hurt us with sporadic counter attacks.

This has been a real problem with us this season (Burnley, Swansea, Palace, West Brom, all of whom we should have beaten comfortably...) and it will prevent us from having anything like the season we all enjoyed so much last season.

None of us feels we can still win the Premiership now, but the second prize, qualification for the champions league next season, is still very much up for grabs.

Of course it is, we are going to win it this year
