But the winner was a carbon copy of equaliser. Thats schoolboy defending.
Anybody who has football knowledge knows sanchez is not good enough for spurs someone else maybe . He will do the basics sometimes not even that is easy for him. Not that I agree with pundits but most you hear on TV don't rate him and after years of watching him I don't. Royal looks just as bad to be honest. The pair look complete clueless and I'm sure conte knows that after tonight. That is one bad result that is. I am complete gutted and pissed off
I made a mistake you fucking bellend and i rectified it. Not that its any of your fucking business
Hojberg went off on 60 minutes, the next 15 mins we actually played ok and were 2-1 up. Then it went to shit.
Were there any? Who were they?
Davies: Yes he slipped before their first goal , but that was dealt with and the goal came from the second phase......
1st goal was a bitter pill (and hard to say they didn't deserve 1 from all they created in the 1st half), but Emerson was shite for the 2 & 3.
Absolute choke job after our 2nd though...... The way we were playing in the 2nd half a 3-1 win seemed more likely....
Sick of being outnumbered in MF.
Shit day turned into a shit night. Cheers, Spurs.

If the one CM who was actually visible in the 1st half and assisted our 1st goal gets a 3/10, what does the invisible Winks get?
Sanchez is shit he can't even do the basics.
I’m probably not that far away from you if you wish to sort it?
he meant Skipp
I just don’t know why we are persisting with a back 3. We don’t have the players for it. I’d rather sera 442 or even a 451.
Not 100% convinced on Conte yet. Makes some fucking odd selections and is slow to change things.

Your being generous to both of them. I never want to see either again.

Bentancur came on, fully fit and hit 2 or 3 passes of reasonable to good quality. In the same period on the pitch Winks hit the same amount/degree of passes and actually tackled people. Yet you declare him useless?
You need to close your prejudice down and actually try to understand what happened on the pitch
Their goals all came from poor and indecisive play in the centre of the penalty area, who was responsible for that area of the pitch tonight?
Our RHS and Emerson in particular was a dreadful burden on us and how we survived the 1st half onslaught was little short of a miracle.
Had Reggie scored in the first half, then the game would have been different, by and large he was poor and several opportunities emanated from his lack of concentration defensively.
Emerson was a liability, and he dragged Sanchez in to cover him leaving us with effectively 2 of our 3 central defenders to cover a mobile and fluid southampton attack.
What disappointed me most was Conte persevering with Emerson, who was a fart in a trance for most of the game, his ineptitude continually dragged our defence over to cover the overload, freeing up gaps in the centre that they capitalised on.
We had no cohesive attacking plan and relied entirely on the innovative skills of Moura and Kane, and Sonny's running and athleticism
Winks was not the problem tonight - the lack of Diers defensive nous and leadership was our biggest problem, that and Conte either being too proud to recognise his error in letting Emerson play on, or his determination to show the management that he's a defensive nightmare.
When Poch went, I wanted Hasenhuttl to take over, he has made a good team out of ordinary players. He would have made us better than Mourinho and Nuno, and I think tonight, he made Conte look a bit pedestrian as well.
Yep, i was banging on about him last season and early summer, £8m. Joke. We bought Gil for 3 times that and have farmed him out and now Kulu, and whilst very early days, looks a bit...meh
I got slagged by a few for saying it was an absolute shit show because of Levy and his Cheapass Haggling.
Options are Doherty and Bentancur, who just arrived. That is sad.
