I am done with Mourinho's brand of football. We have talented players who are in their shell, never on the front foot. Why can't we try and win a game. Fulham were absolutely worthy of a draw

I can’t believe people think we sat back after going one nil up. We went for it. The strikers missed the chances. No idea what people were watching. Fulham went behind and attacked. What else were they going to do? Sit there and let us score. I do wonder some times.
Are you fucking kidding me?

We were absolutely shocking in the second half. Outplayed by fucking Fulham, whilst Jose just sat there on the bench doing nothing.

Sissoko starting on the right in a game like this set the tone. He found himself in a lot of space in the first half but didn’t have the quality to do anything with it. A starting 11 like that sets the tone for me. Start Bale, Dele or Lucas on the right and it sends a more positive message and a better chance of being 2-0 and killing the game. Far too negative today.

We did not go for it at all, we waited for a chance to counter. That's all, we could've controlled the game with a high line but sat deep

If we’d of played a high line with Sanchez and Dier we’d of lost the game. We tried that in the last ten minutes and they almost scored three times!

Well that second half was just as appalling as Wolves away.

The bottom line here is we have the following;

Moussa Sissoko
Harry Winks
Davinson Sanchez

Sissoko is a grafter and has his moments when he can burst forward but he lacks so much for what we need. He simply isnt a player you can rely on for a moment of inspiration. Its not gunna happen.

Harry Winks - Thought he may use his good performance vs Leeds to springboard forward. Nope. Back to his usual 'safe' self in which anytime he did play a forward pass he failed.

How anyone can expect us to dominate a midfield with those two I dont know??!

Davinson Sanchez - positionally awful again, he doesnt read situations well and gets caught out far too often.

Im tired of seeing these players and even Poch failed to get them dominating games.

Simply because they are not good enough.

Tottenham have dropped 10 points from winning positions in the PL this season. Only Brighton (12) & Sheff Utd (11) have dropped more points after leading.

This is suppose to be an elite manager, not anymore, he hasn't brought anything different to the table then Poch has & i can't see us beating City in the final.

You understand that was 9 years ago, and Harry had been in the job for 4 years, right?

You realise that Harry brought us from one of our lowest ebs to the CL for the first time in the same amount of time Jose will have been here come the end of the season? Poch finished 3rd in season 2. What standard are you holding Jose to?

He gets the season. But if we don’t make top 4 playing crap football, he has to go. The first half of the season has been poor.

Mourinho needs a team of world class players otherwise his style of play doesn’t work. Playing defensive and hoping our forwards put away 90% of our chances is bullshit and doesn’t deserve any reward at the end of the season. I hope we win nothing so Jose gets sacked as he’s a tactically redundant coach, if we want to play this kind of football we could have got Sean Dyche for half the salary.

How is the midfield still shit?

2016-17 : World Class Midfield
2017-18 : Meh Midfield
2018-19 : Dogshit Midfield
2019-20 : Dogshit Midfield
2020-21 : Hojbjerg

How is Sissoko still starting every game?

Ndombele needs to drop oin beside Hojbjerg.
At least then we have 2 cm's who can hold onto the ball and turn players. Then we can get another attacking player on.

Mourinho's gonna put all hopes on the Caraboa Cup and then humilate us by saying it was one of his best achievements as a manager.

Watching Spurs is a miserable experience more often than not, why the idiot can't see that defending 1 goal leads for the entire second half is a dumb tactic against likes of Palace and Fulham?

thats the thing with Ndombele people go way over top about him on here as he does fee keeping uppies or rabona passes. Yet his end product particually for a some one playing in a number 10 role is pretty poor.

roy keane would nail him to the dressing room wall. a sunshine boy.

hes a fabulous player but he'd get a slap in the ear no doubt back in the day.

And as bad as this is to say, I will not de upset if they lose to Man City in the cup final because I don't want to hear about Jose won us a (meaningless) cup while at the same time ruining the football played by the club.

No let him win the trophy and then go away and mess up another club with the claim, which many on the site will agree with, of having made us ‘winners’.

Funny how Jose was surprised that Sissoko was so influential when he arrived and now he's absolutely terrified of playing a single minute without him on the field...

Also, son should be getting pelters tonight! From minute 1, he was shocking and couldn’t be fucked! No one should be immune from criticism!
