Good, he deserves it.He's getting absolutely slaughtered on Sky right now.
Keane going to town on him.
Son was an injury doubt for this game, so maybe wasn’t 100%.In Kane's defense, Son looked like he didn't give a fck in the second half either. Both shocking performances in the second half.
We looked good in the first half when Son was actually running around, making runs and looking to attack but something happened where he just looked like he couldn't be bothered. Maybe fitness or injury.
If the manager has no plan for the attack then those players will wander around aimlessly.The damage is done. We've got a player that doesn't want to be here that's not giving 100%. To think some thought our best but of business was keeping him. Spends more time closer to our penalty box than the opposition's now.
NDombele is world class if he tries and could play a full 90. He was taking on Chelsea’s midfield singlehandedlySon was an injury doubt for this game, so maybe wasn’t 100%.
Think Ndombele coming off made a significant difference actually. Him and Son combo has potential, if Tanguy tries.
Playing a system with 1 striker, he needs to play as a striker. There is too much dropping deep and we have nobody else up front.
We're very easy to defend against now.
He don't want to be up against 2 CBs, chief.Playing a system with 1 striker, he needs to play as a striker. There is too much dropping deep and we have nobody else up front.

I said this would happen but some fans wouldn't listen. Levy should have sold for a decent price and move on rather than hold on at all costs!!!Feels like Eriksen redux: we hang on too long, he gets slower and more disinterested, and every game becomes a vanishing act where you can almost watch his value drop.
As good as he is at his best, and let's not forget all the wonderful passes and assists he's done in a Spurs shirt since he evolved as a player. It's now got to the stage where we have to tell him to just stay inside the fucking box and go back to being a poacher. One thing he'll never lose is his finishing, which is generally top notch. I don't want to see him 40-50 yards away from the goal trying to thread balls through to the likes of Bergwijn and Lucas fucking Moura.
The issue is you're then relying on players like Bergwijn or Moura actually providing service to him. Because our midfielders don't seem to do it, nor do the fullbacks ala Liverpool. We just don't have players who can consistently get the ball in dangerous areas. I think a Kane playing in this manner would have a few more games like Palace where he simply has no influence whatsoever.
Sadly we could play him in 10 different roles and the issue would remain the same, the personnel around him.
Please, Levy didn’t hold on for all costs. There was one offer £75m plus add ons. Had we accepted that the pitchforks would be out.I said this would happen but some fans wouldn't listen. Levy should have sold for a decent price and move on rather than hold on at all costs!!!
