We're dodgy at the back and got a clean sheet, it's clear we have problems creatively and a few of the players weren't at it tonight in what amounts to a glorified training game. Dry up tbh.
They were there for an absolute doing tonight, they weren't interested. We had 2 shots on target.
No that is utter shite !!
We have only had 6 clean sheets all season, 5 of those have come under Jose.
Yes, we were shit again tonight but what I witnessed tonight is certain players standing up and showing that they are determined to fight to get this club back to where it belongs.
It's boring tedious football but if it wins us a trophy next season I couldn't give a fuck.

You should get a job for corporate marketing, they love a good virtue signal and you could earn big money
Two mid table sides with players safe in their contracts and nothing to play for.
Out off the those 3 he was the best but again when he doesn't have space to run into he's pretty useless.
Next season if we can get Ndombele to run and replace Sissoko and get an actual attacking RB in who can maybe cross I'd keep him there because he still shits players up with his pace and close control
Overall though I reckon Berg will prove to be there better player
And that’s ok with you? They haven’t been “at it” for well over two years. I’m not going to get carried away over “a glorified training result” from people clearly not doing their job properly.
Pros:-
- We nullified Everton. They were poo, but they’re a side on decent form and we afforded them very few chances.
- Toby and Dier worked. That HAS to be our starting CB pair for now. We all have a fondness for Sanchez, but Toby’s experience and passing ability make him a must.
- He wasn’t great, but Davies was good following his piss poor display at Sheff U. A model pro if not a top player.
- Both winks and GLC were pretty good.
- I liked Lloris calling Son out personally. Maybe not publically but no issue with the captain calling out unacceptable effort on occasion
Cons
- SOOO boring
- We definitely lack an attacking identity. The top 3 were all poor (I saw people throwing Moura under the bus but he was no worse than Kane or Son, and pressed the best as he always does).
- Sissoko just cannot pass a ball. It’s beyond laughable. I can see the odd game where he can be useful, Fergie deployed Park is special circumstances to nullify a top player (albeit Park was better technically) but he can’t be our answer in CM
- I was slightly concerned by the lukewarm response to our goal. Only Aurier seemed overjoyed that we’d scored. I might be reading a little too much into it but I don’t think ours is a particularly happy side to play for right now
I’ll take a win of course but I can’t watch that every week. You can talk about Kane leaving because we can’t win trophies, but he’s much more likely to leave with that sort of performance every week to be honest. He won’t enjoy playing in a side like that.

They needed someone who could actually manage to be more mediocre than the match itself.
There should have been a helpline number to call at the end of the game for anyone who'd been affected the turgitidy of the match they just witnessed. I like to think the hold music will be by the Lighthouse Family.
Wow he ran around a lot holy shit give him the Ballon d'Or.
I also don't give a shit how many tackles he made because he's not a fucking DM. He killed more Spurs attacks and bouts of possession with his poor decision making than Everton did.
we ain't getting there anytime soon bud.
I would rather watch boring tedious football and win a major trophy than watch us play amazing football and constantly miss out on the most important thing in competitive sports, which is silverware.
People who try and convince others that silverware is secondary to entertainment are the kind of people who want to give everyone a participation medal.
Now I'm going to watch ElTel watching the Tottenham 0-0 Wimbledon match from 1997 for some entertainment
Well, I have supported spurs for over 30 years mate, time is on my side for now LOL.
Dier looked great. If he can stop his brain from falling out of his ass once every three matches he'd be a solid CB. But he's 26 so really he should have corrected the mental lapses by now.
