Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

what football can we expect to see with the midfield we have, the full backs we have. then lucas and son who cant hold a ball up? i cant work out what good attacking football or possession you get from that group of players? the midfield is workman like which is fine, but you cant then have attackers who cant hold the ball up and wing backs who are as useless as ours! it makes no fucking sense
Probably the football we played against Bournemouth in the 2nd half on Saturday I would think
 
Literally treated these spuds like they’re some world class club. I knew we were fucked as soon as we subbed Bissouma for Son, just shows what kind of mentality we have for today.

How Moura starts over Gil I’ll never know, Moura is completely done as a footballer for Tottenham. The fact that three of our bench warmers are starting for us from our last serious CL run (Moura, Davies & Dier) is all you need to know what ENIC. We won’t be progressing until they’re gone.
 
Right........ Action plan s

We need changes and we need them now.

Take off Sessegnon, put Gil on and move to a back four

Perisic Dier Lenglet Davies
Hojberg Bissouma Bentancur
Gil Kane Lucas

It's the only chance we have of getting high enough up the pitch to actually get a shot off.

I just can't see another sub that is going to help us at the moment.
 
What a fucking shambles, I've seen enough...
How are this team not able to even pass a ball or seem to have any clue what they are doing. They didn't play like this at the end of last season ??
We are making marseille look like fucking world beaters, which they definitely are not...
Why are we always just so negative, if you just give up all possession and ambition from the opening whistle then any team will get a boost and eventually make you pay for it...we can all see it and know these tactics are fucking stupid, and I cannot understand why conte keeps using them.. I'm starting to think that conte may not be the man we are all lead to believe.........frankly I'm sick of his tactics and his moaning, and enic but that never changes
 
Out lethargy at that corner just typifies our lethargy in the game and our general lethargy under Conte.

It’s not just that Conte is pragmatic. You can be pragmatic but still be aggressive and energetic. We are just so fucking passive and lethargic - it actually isn’t conducive to the tactics Conte is applying.

We’ve got some fucking ordinary players, but Marseille aren’t exactly full of world beaters. You don’t have to be an outstanding footballer or team to show aggression, cohesion and energy - but you need a coach who wants that and can coach it.
