Couldn’t understand the selection when we needed to gain some momentum after Saturday. Rotation at this early stage of the season is nonsense.

Only Winks stood out as any player who wanted to get something out of the game. I think it's time we asked some serious questions about Poch and the state of this squad.

Eriksen was a disgrace, everyone has a off game, but he wasn't even trying, barely throwing out a leg, or closing opponents down, let so many crosses in, and was at fault for losing the ball for the pen

So many poor individual decisions from us tonight.

That said Olympiakos is a better team than most of us probably anticipated. CL away is always tricky. Still very disappointing how we virtually threw away a two goal lead. This team is screaming out for a quality DM and some consistency at the back.

Always better to play such motivated teams towards the end of the group stage and Olympiakos are not as shite as some would think, but it really was a poor performance.

Outshot once again, without any real spark in attack. We were better when Ndombele was subbed off. Now, we're gonna play Leicester away in 61 hours. Ugh.

Not making him a scapegoat because the lad can't help it he's positioned there, but please let's never play Sanchez at RB again.
At least be more intelligent and don't commit stupid fouls making the team more frustrated with the flow breaking.

Training sessions should consist of our players being taught how to run, play a pass after one touch, and how to hit a pass so that the ball travels faster than walking pace. So incredibly slow from us, just shit football

Thanks for all the memories, Poch, but it's time to say goodbye. We've been on a downward trajectory for two years now, and he clearly doesn't have any idea how to fix it. For a top squad like ours to be losing 2-goal leads so casually is unacceptable, we are back to Jol/Ramos form away from home, and there's little leadership and even less game management in evidence in a squad he's had control of for over five seasons. The sooner one side or another admits that he's done great things but we need somebody else to take the next step, the less damage we'll see done.

Log off dude

How long does this go on for though before either Levy drops the hammer down or Poch walks?

I think im just gonna have to lower my expectations from now on.

This is fairly typical fare from Spurs these days. This is months worth of form; not a one off bad performance, just a very standard one, slow and predictable, error strewn and lacking in intent.

The performance against Palace is the exception not the norm.

Also, i really don't get Poch.

Why keep playing Sanchez at RB, when he's clearly not comfortable there and struggles. Alderweireld can play there. It's not rocket science man.

Here's a radical idea. That right-back who performed better than anybody else has in that position for 30 months or so last match? How about we play him again?! There's some players who'd have to kill Poch's son to be dropped, and others who have to score a hattrick just to knock a couple of starts together... oh wait, even that wasn't good enough from Lucas actually...

We look lost at the minute. Players look unsure of what they're supposed to do and where each other are supposed to be. Playing a narrow three behind a striker doesn't work most of the time, and it's never going to work with Sanchez at right back. We had Eriksen, Alli and Lucas playing behind Kane, and in the first half they switched who was on the right, left and central every five minutes and it only confuses us more than it does them.

Most frustrating thing is we looked to have a bit of spark back on Saturday but that tonight was back to the poor form we’ve shown in 2019

Such a shame Lo Celso is injured. Hopefully he’ll solve the Eriksen and Dele problem we currently have. Both a waste of space tonight. Actually disappointed we didn’t have any takers for Eriksen in the summer

Another turgid performance. Eriksen was so bad he should have been subbed at half time.

Only positives were Moura and Winks.

Fucking awful.

His positioning was off the entire game, which I can accept because it's not his natural position. But I thought he was suspect in defence as well...

Why leave Aurier at home. It's very odd. Of Kane can play 3 games a week but Aurier can't?

Bull.

I think we will win this comfortably.

I was at WHL for the 1972 UEFA cup tie back in "Old God's time" Halcyon days.

Apologies, I was totally wrong. Blind faith.

Was some strange goings on out there. Sanchez without a Scooby tonight at RB.
