lot of knee jerk reaction on this thread. Watched last 10 mins of 1st and all of second half. Very controlled game, lots of chances for third goal and some good play. Crap ref + the Hugo situation (think it should have been yellow but not 100% sure). Their second goal had two players in off side position and yet Kane given offside if first half and same lino gives nowt. Kane had two big chances to win it.
Tough period - got to hold together.
COYS!

I’m alright mate, you get used to this shitty feeling after so many years. The pain is still there but you learn to cope with it and admit your life already sucks if you depend on Spurs to be happy

I had a spell where this sort of stuff ruined my evening/weekend.
I now care much less and it's a much better place.

We’ve picked up this strange habit this season of trying to control a one goal lead rather than kill a game off. Whenever we step into cruise mode, you just know an error is around the corner.

Putting the game to bed is much needed.
Think we tried to kill that game off, just weren't good enough in doing so, had more than enough chances and too many brain farts at back, definitely an argument we need(ed) to sign some players. Of course the ref/lino had a say too. Actually think we have upped our tempo last couple of games but still lacking that cutting edge, I think that will come, I am more concerned defensively as PSV hardly had a chance but when they did we struggled.

Very frustrating, totally our own fault. Haven't read the thread but we can't be moaning about decisions. We've now lost over two games to Juve, Inter away and failed to win this and all 4 games we have dominated and have had enough chances to win comfortably. It could prove to be a blessing in disguise if we win the Europa league , which if we take it seriously could happen. It would be just what the club needs and we are capable of winning that. As hard as it is to admit we aren't capable of winning the Champions League yet.
Win the europa league? Thanks for making me chuckle a bit tonight.

We seem to be using our luck in the PL games.

In most games you need a little fortune to see you through.

Our point tally this far is actually unbelievable when you see the kind of performances we are having. Long may our luck last.

Saw it coming from the 70th minute

Pissing about playing keep ball instead of killing off the game. Happened against Watford, happened against inter

So do the same dumb shit again! WTF!! Definition of insanity

Fuck this season


Carabao last year v WHUL, strolling then goodnight !

We drew because we have become Spursy again. One thing overlooked on the ref, but before Trippier gave away free kick leading to equaliser, Lamela was in their box and ref inexplicably gave foul against him

Of all the people to fuck things up, Eriksen and Toby would be pretty low down on the list. However, who ever decision it was to play time wasting football away from home with 15 minutes to go when only 1 goal up needs shooting.

The internet has made it easier to deal with with forums like this. Get your frustrations out online then forget about it.

Confidence seems very fragile ATM.

Players hiding from the ball or shifting responsibility at times when you need your best players to stand up and be counted.

I have zero belief when we are holding 1 goal leads. It seems we've regressed to early Poch Spurs where every one goal win was a struggle to the death. And we stop playing football dropping far too deep.

Defence has been an issue so far this season all round silly mistakes and not doing the basics.
