Not really. You can play well and lose because you are unlucky, not because your best isn't good enough, and here's another truism, you are more likely to win playing good than bad.

One of Ndombele or Lo Celso had to come off at HT as it wasn't working, and seeing as Lo Celso was our only player in the 1st half it was a no brainer choice.
Having said that Bale mean't we played the 2nd half with 10 anyway.
How Dele can't get in this side ahead of Bale or Lucas is anyone's guess.
Do you think we don’t know that and you pointing it out is a new world revelation?
I’m sure if we lost the next 24 games we’d go down but I don’t feel the need to point this out.
Yes we can but we run the risk of Delia's wrath. That makes upper management nervous.
I think so. He’s good enough to make space - Kane’s slow as anything, too. It’s not Bale 2012. He has enough to go a couple of yards to get away from defenders.
Also, I don’t know if you picked it up in the commentary, but the other team were shitting themselves from the touch line: ‘watch Bale; mark Bale’. Nobody passed to him in space so what do you expect? (No-one passed to Kane or Son, either, mind you). Rubbish performance, tbh all around, but he at least win his headers, moves the ball quickly and got himself into space for a return ball. Not his fault no-one passed to him.
Yeah much better to have 0pts by being the better team
Utter s***e .. I think these last 3 games have given us a bit of a reality check .
We could still be playing now and wouldn’t score. You could see the mindset wasn’t there from the beginning .
Our passing in tight areas is atrocious. Not just today but in most games . In space we can perform , but close ball control with some of our players really is laughable.
Anyway I think the question of are we gonna challenge for the title this season has been answered in the last 3 games.
We got very lucky in the Chelsea game.
Have to say performance wise in this tough period hasn’t been impressive in my opinion .
So , it’s the league cup next week. Massive game . This was one of our goals when the season started . So nothing has really changed . Back to the original plan . Win this and we are in the semi finals
The only thing that gets me through these defeats is just chuckling every time sissoko gets the ball

Yeah, this makes sense. Bale was a utter dissapointment, but I think he should be given a chance.
I give it 2 months till we see moany Jose back
How do we join again.?
You moaned when we’re winning.
Well now you now know what playing poor looks like
I’m fairly confident you don’t but there are an awful lot on here who only show up if we are losing or lose.
I am both with you and not with you.
I think dreams of a title this year were not realistic but we are still alive in the EFL, FA and Europa League. It's too early to say it hasn't worked. If we come out of the year with nothing at all, then yes I'll be with you.
I think most people expected we'd challenge top 4 and in all three other competitions and we also expected boring football. Right now we're playing mostly boring football, are 4th, and are alive in all competitions.
A good manager wins things so let’s get to the end of the season before melting
Just search for the title "let's get Spursdem binned".
I told y'all it existed. Y'all called me crazy.
Dele has been poor, but he probably is at the same level Bale and Lucas probably. Bergwijn is still ahead of them tough.
