How come we're not winning now that Kane is on? I don't understand :confused:;)
He should have started though.

Had to turn it off. Can't watch this anymore. We have no ideas against teams that bunker up. Been a problem for 1.5 years now and no one has addressed it.

How do we not know that against 10 men the best way to break them down to make the pitch as big as possible?

Completely different attitude. Pace and tempo is up.

Oh and now they are down to 10.

So yes. It is an improvement.

Your love for dear Ade makes you look quite the chump I'm afraid.
I think you're trying hard to see something that isn't there. Slight improvement over 10 men, but its not exactly any slicker is it? Is Soldado doing anything?

Villa haven't won in 5 games, can't score for shit, yet are beating us with 10 men. Brilliant

I wonder what kind of damage to the perceived value of the Tottenham brand continued football like this would have? There's definitely no 500 million pound bids coming ENIC with a 16th place squad. That's what should make everyone nervous. Levy won't spend to improve things, which means there is only one thing he can influence. Of course, doing that would make him look like a idiot, as he was the one who wanted Pochettino over other qualified candidates.

I still think Lamela and Soldado are good players but they need to get their fucking heads right, no one can do that for them. There's so much fear and timidity in their play.

We are even worse than I feared, and I thought we were shit to start with. I do not know what we can do, we need 5/6 first team players.

This so very much this. Throwing numbers just outside the box serves only to allow them to compact.

This is so bad, I'm just lost for words as to how bad we look.

We would have been better off with the usual Eriksen, Chadli and Lamela behind one striker. This game would have been over by half time had we been playing a better team.
