Take away Foyths and Auriers brain farts and we actually played some decent football at times today.

We've sacked a manger mid season and this Spurs squad is in a major transition. Mourinho has flat out said that the defence is a major concern.
We'll just have to accept that it will take time both for Mourinho to galvanize the team and infuse his tactics, and for the new players to hit their stride.

Mourinho did a "poch" and wasted a half with the wrong formation.

At least Jose recognised a system that wasn’t working and changed it at half time with 2 subs that impacted the game...

We probably would have never got that with Poch, not until the 79th min anyhow

It’s obvious now what we need. A LB, RB, one, maybe two, DMs, and a fucking better mentality.

In fairness Sissoko has a bit of that on his shoulders too on second thoughts. Completely silly yellow card the other day with no benefit to the team, missed this one as a result and we could really, really have used him in that starting XI. He should know better.
I agree your point on Sissoko.

But every players who didn't play will always be missed until they play, where they will be given all the sticks.

That was a shocking performance given the line up.

I was just saying on christmas day how I don't get upset anymore if we don't win - i'm livid.

Can't quite believe it.

A decent point that gets us a bit closer to that crucial Europa League qualification.
It was clueless in the first half, and we gifted them the lead again in the second after getting back into it. That's a poor point. Europa League might tick some folks boxes, Thursdays in the middle of fucking no where does fuck all for me.

Conceeded two brain fuck goals again, otherwise pretty fine with the performance. We showed good effort in 2nd half, felt sometimes just unlucky not to get the final ball through. Norwich defended well.
I liked this more than the sideway sloppy passing by Dier, Sissoko or Winks.
We definitley need at least an alternative to Aurier. Everytime he is in our own box we have a problem.

I am just sick of this comedic defence. They heap so much pressure onto the attackers to keep getting them out of trouble. We need at least 2 defensive reinforcements in January or we can kiss Top 4 goodbye.

Embarrassing.
On paper we should wipe the floor with Norwich.
Theyre rock bottom of the table.
We start with Verts Toby Ndombele Dele Kane Eriksen Moura and Glc and look like a fuckin pub team!
How is that possible? Can our other players be so poor they bring them down to being worse than Norwich? Really?
How can Aurier be so shit?
How can Eriksen not get a corner in the 6yd box?
How can Moura not make a 3M pass?
How can our defenders keep standing 25yds apart with a teams top goal scorer standing between them in fkin acres of space? Why doesnt someone say something thats even more baffling?
I dont get how we can play so bad for the first 45min of every match. Not that we were much better the 2nd half.

Let verts go back to Ajax if he wants he’s been a fantastic servant for us but it’s time to let him go..Aurier?..I will drive him to the airport if that helps actually take foyth and dier with you
I don't think Foyth, a young player with plenty of potential, and Dier, who's shown his quality but struggled with illness, deserve that level of disrespect. Both either have been or could be good players for us, unlike Aurier who has performed poorly and been a questionable fit for our ethos from day one.
