I've lost count of the amount of times this season we just seem to amble about in games. No pace, no pressing and no urgency. I don't know if it's complacency or lack of motivation, but it's incredibly frustrating to watch.

Just think how many awful performances there have been this year? Just so many toothless, insipid displays.

We’ve gone backwards, others have stepped up, and if we’re not careful we’ll be too far away from other (frankly better) teams.

No Champs League next season could be a killer blow for some of our bigger names

We lack depth though which is the issue

exactly and we all know nothing will be done about it this window, thats the most frustrating thing, we had a striker on the bench and the manager didn't feel the need to bring him on, if that doesnt say it all about or squad depth then i don't know what does

Was he really? I think he could score ten goals and people like you would still not change their thinking.
Yeah right.

Bottom line is people like you are not helping him by saying he had a good game, because your drawing attention to his performance.

Things that shit me:

Exhibit A)
Bringing off a CM who's arguably been our best player today and replacing him with a defensive midfielder in the 85th minute when desperately needing a goal and there's already one on the pitch.
Exhibit B) Leaving a striker on the bench and bringing on a defensive midfielder in the 85th minute.
Exhibit C)Taking off your most on form wide-forward in Son when all of your other wide-forwards are having a fucking nightmare.
Exhibit D) The enigma that is why did we buy Sissoko, why did we pay so much for him, why didn't why buy someone else, why does he get so many starts over better players and how the fuck does he always stay on the pitch so long.

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

I think we are overreacting a bit, they’re not a bad team and we’ve been on a good run since December. We need to step up over the next month or so and beat most of the other big teams.

People will ignore that though because it doesn't fit into the sissoko agenda. He clearly is a long way from full match fitness.

Why is Lamela not played in the PL2 team to get up to the desired fitness levels.. Never understand that.

If you go through this thread everyone bar Vorm and Jan have been shit in the last 90+5 mins of the football match.

So 9 out of 11 players for Spurs are shit, not to mention the subs, two of which people were crying for at the end of the first half.

Some of you need to have a fucking word with yourselves.

Flipflopping that fucking hard in 90minuts will give you wiplash.

Dismal and entirely Poch's fault. Poch does a lot right but this team selection and failure to adapt when anyone with eyes could see that it wasn't working was shocking. It's not the first time either.

Whatever Sissoko's qualities as a footballer are they are not suited to this Spurs team. I can only hope that Moussa owns some compromising pictures of Poch sniffing lines of charlie off a Russian hooker's tits because the alternative explanation that Poch keeps picking him simply because it was his choice to buy him and he can't admit he was wrong is much, much worse :mad:.

He really wasn't, there were many worse than him today as well.
Some of the players were worse than Sissoko today (looking at you Dele) but that doesn't change the fact that it's painfully obvious that he just shouldn't be in our team.
