Wtf would u not change the system when we are playing so badly , nuno looked lost today

 

[Dougal]

That was puzzling from Nuno. I’m moving on quickly hoping not to witness it again.

 

[Ashen]

That was bad. Very bad. But also a good reality check.

 

[NickHSpurs]

Having a senior striker on the bench is overrated ?

 

[HedgieSpur]

This is the Edouard that so so many people on here were trying to tell me wasn’t good enough.

There are many players out there that would add a cutting edge and dynamism to this squad and yet we seem content to persist with “solid” yet unspectacular players.

 

[SpursD22]

I’m probably overreacting right now but let me I’m very mad

I’ve already lost my excitement for the rest of the season. We have no creative midfielder + the way Nuno sets us up means we won’t create much. Most games will be boring to watch. I don’t care about the Rennes game and the Chelsea game I’m shitting my pants

Another long & frustrating season ahead of us I’m afraid. If we don’t finish in the top 6 I hope we don’t get the 7th place, don’t want us to play Conference league next season

Nuno didn't put anyone in a position to do well today.

There is no logical reason to play three holding midfielders against any opponent, doing so away to PSG Crystal Palace is absurd and it gives some insight into his mindset/approach.

No changes at halftime stinks of wanting to be proven right that your initial selection/instinct was correct. We've seen this from previous managers - its fucking annoying.

 

[JCRD]

Blame the players all you like and they were shit but it's on Nuno this. How we played, the tactics. Don't tell me if kane had a chance he wouldn't hit the target. We had two shots on goal, one on target.

 

[CrazyHeart]

Not making a sub is laughable. We’re down by 2 (then 3), but whats the downside? Get someone like Markanday on.

He'll definitely Mark-This-Day all right...

 

[G Ron]

Zero positives. Awful from the manager all through the team (Moura excluded as he works Ed his socks off and at least looked interested and fit)

it was obvious at half time we needed to change it and we did nothing.

that was as if Jose never left, disgusting performance

Gil is so much better than Dele and Winks.

As for the cameo from Davies………. No words!

 

[ronzalo]

3-0 by Palace! ??? classic moves.

 

[InOffMeLeftShin]

Absolutely terrible today. Not going to get carried away with this one just like wasn’t getting carried away with us being top.

We’re going to need to show some guys to come back from this and hopefully it will force some changes.

We are missing Son, Bergwijn, Lo Celso, Ndombele, Romero, Sanchez and now Dier so there are definitely some big changes to make things better.

 

[Jolmaster]

Disgusting performance regardless of the players unavailable
Moura was the only one who can come out of that with an ounce of credit

 

[bobbof]

A club like Spurs should never play this type of football. At least not against fckin Palace. Absolutely horrible, Nuno needs to take a serious look at his philosophy and play style. No excuses, he did absolutely nothing correct today.

 

[Matrix]

We've managed to lose 3-0 without showing any attacking intent. Lol

We could have lost 3-0 playing 5 attackers

Would rather that then what we saw today.

 

[Flynn]

At least we are saved the embarrassment of anyone noticing... The media is too busy sucking CR7 off.

 

[TonyS]

A mate of mine who's a Celtic fan, said we should buy Eduoard in the summer. Then a few weeks ago he said it again, after he went to Palace. Seems to be decent.

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

Absolute shambles. We are back. As bad if not worse than any performance under JM. That today is a sacking in itself. How can you legislate for that performance? Can’t be positive - esp considering the players we had in that squad/lineup - most wouldn’t start in the championship. Average players, average managers. It’s all downhill from this point on. Chelsea will batter us next week!

 

[lukadownthelane]

I just want ENIC out of the club. They don’t care about anything other than making money.

Nuno clearly isn’t going to work out. If he couldn’t see we needed to make subs today then he’s got no hope.

Worst match I've seen in months
