That's not what's coming across on radio or the BBC. We started better than them, but they finished better than us.
Is the radio explaining to its listeners how were giving the ball away constantly or how were passing back to the keeper left right and centre? or how Wimmer is having a mare? or how we've had no shots on target for the entire half?

Can't blame Wimmer for the goal. I know it's a unpopular opinion on here but I think Wanyama should come off, I know he is a good midfielder, there is no debating that and he has indeed made us more solid but the more I watch us the more I notice it's at the expense of our attacking play, I think he unbalances the side in attack, he would be the sub I make.

Personally I would like to see us just for a few games without Wanyama in the side to see if we can get amongst the goals again and see if that is indeed the issue with our attacking play, however I know that won't happen because Wanyama is a Poch player and as sad as it is, Poch does indeed have his favourites sadly.

Just me who can't see where on earth our goals are meant to come from then?

We haven't realistically looked like scoring for weeks.

What frustrates me is right there we had four professionals in the industry arguing over whether it was offside. Sure, we as fans can argue, but when people who are part of the game don't understand or agree, then there's a big issue.

They were arguing about whether or not that should be the rule, not whether that was offside. Big difference.

Their technique is far superior to ours. We must bring in players with better technique.
It is a hard truth to swallow - but watching their front4 compared to ours? we're no where near their level or Man City's, Chelski's or Liverpool`s - Just not fluid enough. Eriksen becoming a massive disappointment. Alli is our only real threat with quick feet and he's still green compared to Ozil, Sanchez, Theo, City? Silva, Aguerro, Sterling, De Bruyne- Liverpool? Coutinho, Firmino, Mane, Lallana. Chelski? Hazard, Pedro, Oscar, Willen etc etc

We're not even close _ Son & Eriksen.

Missing Alli & Lamela big time.

Time to reappraise our expectations.

Misery.

Never ever gonna score again if all we've got in our locker is playing it wide to rose or Walker to cross

Call me optimistic (or even fucking deluded) but i can feel Eriksen scoring today to level things up, there said it now.

Linesman should have given the off side but why didn't the players appeal for it. Should have made more of a fuss in the aftermath.
the linesman decision is not going to matter anyway.. the linesmen flagged for a corner for us on a Walker play down the byline, but the referee flagged it as a goal kick.. WTF, it was so obvious it gotta hit a scum foot to go out... how was it a goal kick only the crap clattenburg knew..

Walker, stop cutting back once you've gained that yard of space for the cross, please!

Whenever the ball falls between two Spurs players it's like we have no kind of system to decide whoever the fuck picks it up..

Offside as well, two of them, Arsenal getting more gifts? Neverrrrrrrrrrrr.
Crikey you lot banging on about bent it useless refs want to have a look at yourselves. Marginal offside, just one of those things. We've benefitted from such situations plenty of times.
