I think I am alone in thinking that Eriksen played quite well under the circumstances. He was asked to essentially play right back FFS.
It should have been Sissoko or Dele out wide helping Aurier out with Ndombele playing the central midfield role.

no mate poch has changed, his body language is different, not positive, not happy, wrong choice of players etc,
i hope i am wrong, but poch doesnt look like he wants to be at spurs, and hes holding out for something, otherwise he would just leave.
he wasnt like this before, otherwise we would have seen poch out ages ago.
So you admit you are a fake Spurs fan. I knew it.
But nobody can tell me that was an honest refereeing display by Anthony Taylor - the Spurs players were constantly having to fight him over all these ridiculous decisons one after another or did you fail to see this?
Yes the manager could have picked a better team, yes certain players made mistakes, but the referee went out of his way to change the result and Sky covered it up.
It seems if Sky, which is Woolwich TV, don't say anything you go with their view. Honestly, when Harry Kane scored Martin "The Voice" Tyler was so silent I thought it had already been ruled out. BTW, Gary Neville started saying Kane was offside before the replay which then proved he wasn't, and Neville changed his words.
Gazza was MOM even tho Sky said he wasn't. I just wish genuine Spurs fans here speak out and defend their team whenthey cheat Tottenham.
eriksen as full back?, cant tackle, hardly runs, doesnt hardly header, wtf, playmaker as full back, poch is doing some shady decisions, dele alli for moura, rose instead of davies, why not try kane as centre back quite tall, can header why not cant be worse than other decisions, its just so wrong what hes doing, if he did this in his first or second year, we would have sacked him.
Havent read the whole debate here Gobby, but you're not suggesting the ref cost us points are you ?
The moment we went ahead, we looked clueless, couldn't string 2 passes together. The pundits can get fooked as can the ref, but the score flattered us.
Gazza saved us from a thrashing.
Its one thing to defend a 1 nil lead at Anfield, but to complete only 290 passes, and again allow the opp to land 13 shots on goal, was hard to watch.
This one is on Poch.
Yep he did. Exactly. Still a penalty but always a merc. Match 3 and the player is a merc:
- someone more concerned with exploiting the rules to gain an advantage that actually playing football.
- someone who wants to get players sent off.
- Someone who looks to buy penalties. I see you Alan Shearer.
- Someone who thinks getting yellow cards by hassling the referee is considered "professional"
- Someone who when losing a challenge clutches a part of their anatomy in the hope of gaining a foul or even better, stopping the game when the counter is on.
- Refuses to play for their national team unless certain riders are in place.
- Doesn't speak to the media unless the lighting is right.
You still didn't tell us the score you rascal..
For the love of god, tell us we won.
no problem mate
I've got the time whilst I drink my tea to post my thoughts. Wasn't expecting much from this game, and as it turned out, game lived up to my expectations!
Didn't think we were going to hold out after the early goal, but thought we soaked up all their pressure really well, and Gazza was outstanding.
But once they scored, there was only one team that were going to win.
You know me, not one for tactics 'n all that. But my feeling about the game is they play with an energy and hunger that we used to. Their wide play especially gave us all sorts of problems.
And I still don't think Eriksen, Rose or TA should be allowed anywhere near our team, albeit they played ok, I suppose. But we need to look to and plan for the future, and if that means a few bumps along the way whilst we bed in a new team, so be it.

we won handsomely with 2 new full backs, and dominated but didnt cause too many openings with usual full backs, 1-1 crap full backs, 5-0 with 2 quality full backs, i could just tell even on the sim, that we would create so many problems for opposition with these 2 additions.You still didn't tell us the score you rascal..
At least Rose is suspended
Are you in the frame if Poch goes? Just asking because I'd like to get in early on the good odds. At worst you could advise the current regime. Wouldn't be worse etc. etc.
Thought TA actually turned up today Mrs P. but yeah overall one additional chance in the net would've made it different. No disaster to lose but man management? That's a worry after Tuesday.
this is the thing we are so close to a great team, but for some reason poch wont do whats needed to accomplish this, moura son kane how good is that, at least 55 goals there maybe more, but he plays alli instead of moura, just dont understand that, alli hasnt had a good game yet, and def not 1st team, and even eriksen plays, poch was a defender, and yet he plays rose and aurier who are not good, and make so many errors which cost us, you have to question this even if you love poch, spurs come first.
Yes, get somebody who actually knows how to tackle hard (Sissoko and winks shadow), then distribute to our skilfully players like Ndombele
