I can't get over how many times we gave the ball away.
No evidence to say this manager knows how to build our defence - despite his historical reputation - there's no pattern to our passing. We look seriously under coached.
I believe it's a talented squad being very badly managed.

By the way this list of shite players I would have a bet that more than a few will thrive at a different club with different views on how to play the game certainly a different philosophy than Mourhino has .
Some managers seem to bring out the best in players our leader excels in bringing out the worst in players .

Frustrating thing is for about 5 mins late in 1st half we stepped it up a gear with 2 goals and possibly could of had more, when we play like that you wonder how we play so shit the rest, we have some top players that just couldn’t be arsed, something just stinks with us this season.

Lets imagine for a moment we replace our back 4 with "world class defenders".. Pick any 4 you like. Do you think they would regress under Mourinho?
It’s true if we had brilliant players all over the park we might win something. Jose is so unlucky we don’t.

But this is a discussion about today’s game.

But your question on my earlier post was about getting a replacement manager / coach who can improve our squad. Nobody is going to suggest replacing a manager based on a single match and I surely am not either.

Harry Kane on a hattrick always changes the shape of the side - before that he was all over the pitch playing balls to teammates and getting into great positions, on a hattrick he seems to go to the number nine role and waits for the chances to come to him.

Today was strange, could've won it could've lost if. It feels as if players are just going through the motions. The team looked good on paper but players all seemed out of sorts once they got going. Substitution at half time was all wrong. Jose has to win final and get top 4 otherwisw we're not better than before he came.

For me, Bringing Son on changed the dinamics.

You sure it wasn't just the second half shift that Kane makes in every single Spurs game? That's been one of the defining features of Jose's management of Kane this season, and also seems to be the key reason he's struggled to complete a hat trick.

I get the hatred towards Mourinho....but there also needs to be an acceptance that some of our players really aren’t up to it...in fact they are a mile away from even being close...some of the individual errors are laughable..

I read somewhere that Newcastle had an xG of 4.3 against us today. On another day we would probably have lost with all the big chances they had against us today.

Today was a bad day. We lost __well feels like that. Fulham lost, Brighton lost. It breaks my heart to watch us right now. I've been a Spurs fans for nye-on 60 years and I can't remember feeling the way I do now. We've had some sh1t teams in my time but I'm so depressed at the dross we're turning out week on week. I feel sorry for Harry K. What a player yet he's surrounded by such average-ness and such an average manager. The rest of them just don't want to know. Something has got to give ....................

I am with you, supported them for 55 years. I do not think it is about players not wanting to know, more like they do not know what to do.
