The saving grace is if Poch comes out and says it was shit.

I swear if he comes out and says we played well. . . Grrrrrrrrr

Poch has been fantastic for us BUT he needs to act and change things instead of expecting the same thing week in week out.

He also needs to be much better with his signings. If he was the one who wanted sissoko then it's seriously concerning

Poch, even when he was at Southampton was notorious for 3 things, lack of tactical flexibity, sticking with favourites at the expense of the team and burning out players before the end of a season.

You can also add questionable signings to that and part of me wonders, who made these signings in the summer? If it was Poch then my goodness.

Seeing the value of Lamela yet Gibbsy?
Not sure Lamela would have won the game but I have come to accept that he plays like he cares and seems to embarrass others into joining him in putting a shift in, add to that he actually tries to unlock the opposition I think we should accommodate him with a free role and see how we go.

We don't look like scoring barring set pieces. SOMETHING IS VERY VERY WRONG.
It's no longer a hiccup. It's a full blown crisis.

Deary me. We're in a battle with three seasoned CL teams, we're playing without our three best players (and Lamela), we're essentially playing away from home on a huge pitch that doesn't suit our play, and we're obviously going through a slump in confidence.

As far as I'm concerned, we're three points of the top of the league, still in the champions league, and our top scorer is coming back next week. And we've still got one of the best defences in Europe.

Cheer up folks :woot:
I'll have two of what he's drinking.

Shocking, not one positive apart from sissoko is still banned. Worst player in spurs shirt for years never mind fee. God awful don't know what else to say!

Kanes goalscoring has covered up for a multitude of sins, truth is we've been lacking goals from the rest of the team for the last 2 seasons as well.

Slow wits and bodies...

A lethal combination. :cautious:

(would love to see Chicharito proper chopped in a scissor tackle, give him something worth rolling around for)
This. And it goes for any player feigning injury after a benign challenge. They deserve after attempting to con sanction on a fellow 'professional'.

We would literally have been better throwing £30m down a hole, OK one less player in the squad but then GKN could play who's hardly getting a game anyway
we wouldn't have had to pay the home 70k a week though

Rather see Winks, Edwards, Onamah and GKN than any of the 'attacking' midfielders that played tonight. Utterly abject and at no point did we look like scoring

The defence was a cluster fuck, a better side would have given us a proper thumping tonight

From the kick off that was a disgraceful performance. Set the tone for utter utter rubbish.

We look clueless. Utterly clueless.

Very disappointing. I think it will be the Europa for us after christmas if that. I'm sorry but sissoko is just not a Tottenham player and I can't see it working for him with us.

I somehow hope for a shouting Poch cursing at the lads at the touchline than a calm Poch.. At least he doesn't look clueless by not being emotionless... I'm really afraid he is.. :cry:

When Poch gets out-muscled tactically, we are utterly terrible. Players don't have the mental capacity to break teams down on their own.

Sissoko... What an absolute laughing stock of a player, Walker and Davies were much better mind.
