Sigh.

The weak mentality in this team will never go. Psv are a dreadful side and we only managed a draw. Our own silly mistakes are criminal at this level

Is it just me who thinks Eriksen was more to blame than Hugo? Lloris got it wrong but he was put in a terrible situation by Eriksen, for no reason whatsoever.

No. You don’t compound an error with an error.

Two players were harassing their attacker and he was still a long way from goal.

Lloris came flying out with zero chance of getting the ball. It was reckless, clumsy and rash.

Agree with that. Liverpool, City, Arsenal or Chelsea would have put 4 or 5 past that PSV team. We got away with it against West Ham but were punished against a very very poor Champions League team. Its not good enough at the moment. We seem so fragile at the moment. It simply is not good enough ?
We seem to have this ability to fall on our sword everytime we got away with it against West ham as you say but tonight again let ourselves down.

Actually, I'm furious with Poch for again failing to instill in these players how to kill a game off. We had no urgency until they equalized.
Poch is too soft and nicey nicey. The players know they’ll get an arm round the shoulder instead of the hair dryer. No wonder they’re so lackadaisical all the time.

What to say that's not already been said?!

We've effectively lost the chance to qualify by, what, 10 minutes of dumb football. We should be sat nicely in second, instead we are likely heading out because once again we have shot ourselves in the foot. This team has stopped learning!!

If I was Poch I'd be raging with that, we completely dominated the game and should have been out of sight after 60 minutes. Ok, you can miss chances, so you just need to stay in control........oh we can't even do that right anymore.

This is Martin Jol era Spurs, able to seemingly control a game but do something ridiculous to lose a situation you shouldn't be losing.

The officials were a disgrace tonight - I don't think Lloris, as dumb as he was, should have been sent off as Toby was catching up and could still have covered, and the goal ruled out was just ridiculous - assistant didn't flag for their goal did he??

I blame this most on the players, they have a weak mentality and I’ve been saying this for far too long. I honestly can’t take it no more, I’m tired not trying to be funny
How many times will this team let me down? I can’t take it anymore

I just want to scream and destroy everything in front of me but I’m too tired to do that
Thank you Tottenham thank you


And if you defend Davies & Trippier then I can’t help you. Both average
Davies and Trippier have been absolute trash this season. Only Davies has had a half way decent game thus far(which was Saturday). I'm beyond tired of seeing Trippier anywhere near this team. But he has the #1 RB spot locked down. Poch's start at zero bs was just that, bs.

Typical. Lack of top-draw quailty to kill poor teams off. This where we're short. PSV would be mid-table in the Scottish League. They should never think there on with a chance going into the last10/ 15 minutes.
