Not one aspect of football was positive today. As bad a performance as we’ve seen.

Can’t wait for Mourinho to try and talk himself out of that one.
Truly shocking.

Hard not to feel deflated by that to be honest. Just awful.

Dier, sissoko, Davies, dele, winks...3 or 4 years of absolute rubbish and still they start games and are at our club. Average footballers, average manager.

Everyone go out and lick some pub windows so we can back into lockdown.

Can someone help me with something. I have been going to watch spurs for 30 years, I have seen a lot of football. I like to think that I have a fair idea of how the game works, tactics, movement, formation, etc. That said, I am no football coach, and I certainly don't come close to knowing it all.
But what I just can't understand is just how devoid of, well, anything, this team is. I can't recall them putting more than 3 passes together without losing the ball, usually through an unforced error. I can't see any tactics at all, other than if they get possession on a turnover, then whomever has stolen the ball just runs and runs and runs for so long as they can before they lose possession. What I don't understand is what this manager is actually doing with the players - It is so bad and mystifying to me that I am wondering if I am just missing something obvious. This is not to mention the appalling attitude and work rate of the players.
So can someone enlighten me as to what this manager is, or is trying, to do? Because all I see is a group of players who appear to be on the pitch for the sake of making up the numbers. And I don't get it.

Just absolutely awful!. The only hope we seem to have is hitting a team on the break because in midfield we have ZERO creativity. Everton deserve the win absolutely no doubt about it. We have been simply disgusting and bang average. We need to replace Eriksen and bring in that second CF. But I don't expect them until deadline day!! In fact I don't expect the creative midfielder at all.
