It seems he's lost some of the players.
That's the danger of dropping players continuously for single bad performances.

Players do need a second or third chance sometimes. But drop them before they get chance to build up form and they will start to get peeved off.

Surely this would be the perfect time to give Doherty a shot in the role we signed him to play given Reguilon is out? The back 5 with the wingbacks selected was perplexing to say the least. With no Aurier I’d play a 4 with Davies and Doherty RBs, with the latter playing as Aurier did last season
Doherty has been rubbish, but we are not playing to his strebgths.

That game had a lot of similarities to the game we lost down the that signalled the end of the Poch era. It was clear that day he had lost the dressing room and the players weren’t interested in playing for him, and we saw that today in spades if you ask me. Factor in the recent dressing room run ins and publicly throwing the players under the parked bus things don’t feel like they’re going in the right direction by any stretch of the imagination

He won’t get sacked, it’ll cost too much in the current climate and even if he does, where does this group of players go from here? If you can’t win with a notorious winner like Jose then what hope have you got that another manager will come in and facilitate us winning trophies? This could be the end of the road for the core of this team - Kane and Son will want to win things in their prime, Lloris and Toby coming to the twilight of their careers and will likely want to end it elsewhere. Ndombele will be drawing attention from the elite clubs in Europe. Sounds like an over reaction to a(nother) rotten performance, but it could be a tipping point in this cycle of this version of Tottenham Hotspur

Ha just seen the Brighton player who scored, their main striker hadn’t scored in 17 games. Ah the comedy value.

I’m beginning to suspect that Jose has shares in a brewery or distillery as he’s driving us fans to drink.

Please no, that’s a step in the wrong direction. We should be looking for someone who can start rebuilding, no more sticking plasters.

We don’t want to be rushing into an appointment (there will be more options available in the summer too). Benitez isn’t exciting but he’s done this before and would see us through the end of the season.

Is there anyone here that doesn't think he needs fired? If so I would love to know why. What hope are you holding onto?
Because it won't solve anything. The problems at Spurs started years before Mourinho arrived and will persist long after he leaves (whenever that happens to be) unless there is a fundamental change in the whole culture of the club.

If Mourinho is to blame, explain why we played precisely the same way against Brighton tonight as we did against them in October last year, a month before he arrived?

Explain to me why we capitulated to Liverpool once again as we have time and again before Mourinho arrived?

Explain to me why shipping three goals against a side like West Ham was not a surprise as a Spurs fan - we've seen it time and again before Mourinho arrived.

That's why.

I'm actually thinking he's working undercover for Chelsea to try and dismantle the top 4 from the inside.

Problem is Roman fucked it by making Lampard manager :)

I blame the manager AND the players. If you don't feel pride of wearing that cockeral on your chest, get out.

Title winning manager who is clueless AND
Extremely well paid professional players who can't control and pass a ball to save their lives.

The harshest thing u could do to fans is constantly give us hope and ridiculously take it away. Hang your heads in shame. Truly feel for the fans supporting the club.

Guys I know that there is a lot of disappointment at the moment (and that's putting it mildly) but just remember the times we are living in. A football game should never take you over or make you lose sight of what you have. Some folk have lost their jobs and some even their loved ones.

Chin up, be safe and remember..........only we can protect ourselves. Wear your masks, wash your hands and keep the distance
