[Pellshek]

Can't believe I've gone from being calm & unconcerned about our situation a few short weeks ago to suddenly, out of nowhere being sick & panicked about it.

 

[Hawk_Spur]

Poch won't make a sub at HT. He never does.

 

[thfc1989]

Son, Allí, and Wanyama have been terrible. Why has he started Wanyama and Sissoko in this - it was never going to work

 

[tippspur59]

Son is atrocious so far, and he's in good company.

 

[King of Otters]

Any Spurs fan could see this performance coming a mile off with Wanyama and Sissoko in midfield together, so why couldn't Poch?

I very rarely dig him out for anything, but if we fail to win this game, then it's on him.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

all eyes on poch now, he keeps emphasising how we need to be brave, well this is his time to be brave and change it up, this is where he earns his money

 

[KenTHFC]

I get that people inside the game think fans don't know shit because 99% of the time we really don't. But ffs Poch can see the bigger picture and he's still got them out there doing that, picking favourites and generally being tactically inept right now? What is going on?

 

[yankspurs]

Lucas, Lamela, Rose for Davies, Sissoko, and either Kane or Dele. And NOW! Not fucking the 80th minute as usual. This is fucking tragic.

 

[EQP]

I dare Poch to make a sub at half time

The braver thing would be to not make a change at half time

 

[am_yisrael_chai]

Dele Ali worst player on the pitch, almost invisible

 

[stevenurse]

FFS Poch, get Son/Alli/Kane/Wanyama/Sissoko of at HT!

Haven't seen a second of it, but sounds horrendous (who'd have guessed?)

At least I've put my safety bet on...

 

[Guntz]

Lets be honest 95% of the players really don't care.

It's a shame.

 

[lilywhitecurtis]

I'm fuming with this performance. A poor team selection. Got to be given the situation the poorest selection I've seen Poch make since Son starting at left back against Chelsea.

 

[Huddlestone22]

What the fuck does Poch say to them before kick-off?

Diz iz foobal.

 

[tooey]

Hugo and Eriksen are the only two that have shown up tonight. For me it's more fundamental than personnel, we need to completely change shape.

 

[Streetspur77]

There won’t be. Poch doesn’t make his changes until after 65 minutes and everyone is wise to it now.

Managers very rarely make changes before around the 60th minute, dunno why it's become some myth that it's only poch

Granted it's a bit annoying when it gets on to 70-75 though

 

[Krule]

If we lose or draw this and Poch comes out after using the word 'plan' or 'project' then I fear for my television screen.....

 

[ajspurs]

Absolutely awful. Like others have said, what's just as frustrating is that we will come out in the 2nd half, no changes, do exactly the same for 25/30 minutes and then make changes. We can't be wasting any more fucking time here! Make changes now before it's too late FFS.

 

[Saoirse]

Gutted I can't be there tonight (had an exam at near enough the other end of the country this afternoon -excuses, excuses I know!) But the atmosphere sounds really poor right when we need the support most. Fingers crossed we get over the line in the second half. Harry Kane Hattrick time. COYS!

 

[freeeki]

We really don’t look like we’ve had 70% possession and 84% pass accuracy.
