I ABSOLUTELY LOATHE DEFOE PLAYING UPTOP.

Its detrimental to the whole fucking team.

* i know its not the main problem tonight, but in tight away games when you're being hustled and harried - you need the ball to stick. Top teams have it and unless Ade plays we don't.

We'll win this easily second half, wind will be blowing towards them :)

Seriously though let's save the apocalyptic comments, sure we've been wank, but the game's not over let alone the season..

I do agree that if we don't drastically improve second half this will go down as one of those results. Yet I don't for a second see us losing this. We've been here before many times this season and turned it around. Coyfs

Thing is, when Lennon is'nt doing anything going forward he still works like a trojan going back chasing everything. That cannot be said of the others who are also offering sod all right now

I think it's about time we went 4-3-3. Lennon off, Holtby on.

Lennon looks like he's starting to come into the patch of form where he does fuck all.
Lennon has been our best player recently, just need to get him on the ball.

Parker is like defoe, he really makes things hard for his Partner by not holding position, passing back to players under pressure and generally running around like a madman.

Glad I'm not the only one who isn't blinded by constantly taking himself out the game by tackling off his feet.

Not to worry, it's a game of 2 halves and team talks often sort things out, or perhaps the strong wind will help.

Parker is having a mare. Dawson is looking leaden footed. Dempsey is playing like Dempsey and Kyle Walker has the touch of a rapist.

Sometimes... I hate spurs fans. Against ManU, we could finish 3rd, Parker is immense. 10 days later, Parker is s***, everyone's going to overtake us. I swear a large section section of SC are teenage boys who think we should outplay everyone we come across and if we don't win by 2 or 3, were s***. It's embarrassing.

Today's performance has very little to do with Parker or any other player not playing well and has everything to do with our utter lack of having a plan B when the opposition pressure us. Our first instinct is to knock it long and without a target man it just allows the opposition to recycle the ball and put us back under pressure.

Well that was an atrocious half of football.

Midfield is non existent. Starting to think Dembele and Parker is not a viable option, is it coincidence that since Parker's return Dembele has put in three of his worst performances in a Spurs shirt?

Long balls up to Defoe are our main option it seems.

Really bad, things can only get better?
best thing is,.... first half is over. Not feeling Parker,... it's like Spurs are stuck in second gear and they are not concerned about getting to third :bag:

Time for the hairdryer from AVB & Herr Freund at halftime!!!! COYS!!! :chicken:

Does somebody want to try and continue the argument that you would not take £5m for Parker?? Not the worst tonight or the only one, however I think you have seen all the evidence you need to convince. And as for Dempsey and Defoe... and while I am at it; it's about time Dembele stopped flattering to deceive and actually effected a game in the final 3rd. This team lost it's heart and bottle when Sandro got injured.

Holtby at HT please - take your pick who you take off.

Thoroughly depressing performance and I'm so hoping there will be a dramatic improvement for the second half. We seem to be falling apart right now.

It's been horrible.
Just a thought...it is very windy - will this favour us in the second half?
Norwich seemed to be able to put through balls past us with ease - wind assisted?
OK - enough straw-grabbing - I'm just sooooo depressed by this!
