Just an aside, I'm watching the Chelsea v City game and anyone not happy with Vorm should put their hands together we haven't got Caballero, dear oh dear!

Whenever Spurs lose I am soon reminded what a absolute **** that Harry Hotspur is. Lets not be like him and his two bit blog..

Shit result, move on.

Regarding todays game i do think that we just miss that little bit of magic between the midfield and Kane something i am sure Poch will fix over Summer.

Didn't see the game ( had to listen on the radio which was very frustrating!), but this is something I've been saying for a while. Those who believe we only need to add another CF to complete the attacking part of our squad are mistaken imo. We still need another match winner in the final third.

Very disappointed to go out because I'd rather go out of the EL than the FA cup, but it's not the end of the world.

You're seriously dumb if you don't think that.

Have a look at the ratings in that post, do you see any disagrees?

They must all be dumb too, right?

You're deluded.
Not deluded at all.. the no nothings see an odd pass go astray & instantly think he was awful.. his first game in how long his timing will be a little off.. he showed for the ball & wanted to move the ball quickly which was what was needed it's just that there was that many changes to the team there was no rhythm to our play.. he showed really good movement at the base of midfield.. for first game in a long time he done ok.. there was far worse performances.. Walker, Rose & Mason were really poor.

No doubt the ones that agreed with you are the ones posting during the game.. how can you actually be concentrated on what's happening in a game when they are posting every other minute.. Secretly I think they are delighted they have a scapegoat to blame.. so yeah if you can't acknowledge the good as well as the bad he done then yeah you are clueless

How can you say Rose and Eriksen were awful! And Vorm, what did he do wrong?
I think I watched a different game to you.
Vorm is a decent keeper but not for us. He reluctance to leave his line, even in non-kamikaze "hugo of yore" ways, introduces panic in our back 4. There were a few times today that he could have safely come out to relieve pressure but he didn't. These players are used to Hugo coming out and it is hard to mentally make that change. We really need to upgrade to a keeper with similar playing style to Hugo in the summer. And I have no axe to grind with him as I like Vorm. Wish he made the realization and added Sweeping to his game.

The 'no-nothings' lol. What a thoroughly pretentious post littered with idiotic bollocks. I don't agree with you so i'm clueless.

You are the epitome of a Tim Sherwood.

Poch has come out himself as a said we aren't clinical enough. In a few games we dominate 70% but don't look much like scoring. Didn't think we looked like it at all second half. It's an observation of an area we need to improve on. Only way o believe we won't win the league is
This area. Need to pick the right options and get better chances at goal

I agree, 2nd half we didn't look like scoring. But we have scored the 2nd most goals in the league. The 2nd most. In a perfect world we would be more clinical, but its football, you never get pure perfection that so many on here think is possible.

Last week we had 2 chances to score and scored them both. That's clinical.

We have conceded the fewewst goals in the prem. However, based on this argument if we were better defensively and kept more clean sheets we might win the league.

We are strong defensively. We are strong offensively. Not one for stats but our prem GA, GF and overall GD proves this.

Match winner that would be happy to sit on the bench for Spurs or anyone else for that matter aren't exactly a dime a dozen. And if he isn't on the bench, then one from Son/Lamela, Kane, Alli, Erickson have to be - which inevitably would leave to them wanting to leave. the only way we could shoehorn another "match-winner" into our squad is if we started playing 3 at the back. Think we've more than enough up front short of back up to Kane.

I think you, and many on here are looking too far into a loss that at this stage is little more than a blip. If Alli's chance (against the too posts) goes in, this current conversation is moot entirely.

One of those days indeed.. lots of chances that didn't go in, then a rubbish second half, concede a sloppy goal from a player who hasn't scored for years, poor ref that let them get away with a lot, squad players not really rising to stake a claim, hell, even a crowd that made a load more noise booing adebayor than at any of our many corners.. a big old shit sandwich today.

Blame the lack of atmosphere on whichever bright **** who thought it would be a good idea to give the away fans the entirety of our most vociferous part of the ground. Subsequently all the people who normally stand in the Park Lane end up scattered all over the place. Those of us who were trying to get something going in the shelf side were being constantly harangued by a few twats who shouted more loudly any time anyone dared stand up for longer than 30 seconds than they ever did in support of the team (i.e. never). Utterly pathetic excuse for 'support' from some of our supposed fans today.

I don't know why people are getting so "het up" about this result. The one result we did not want was the one we did not get: a draw. I've seen us win cups, but I've never seen us win the league. Maybe I never will, but for me that takes precedence and after that, the Europa League.

You think differently to me, fair enough.

My opinion however has nothing to do with today's game.
