Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Pretty disheartning watch. Probably missing our starting back 5 in that game, though Spence was our best player by far imo. Son is a middling player now, we don't have high level midfielders or attacking players. We have some good, talented young lads, but we're miles off it for the most part. I
 
So, we should have stayed at home tonight, not even bothered, no point trying, no point travelling, just forfeited the game before kick off and threw the tie against the ‘best team in Europe’

Or at least went there and gave a good account of ourselves, showered some desire and bottle..maybe had a shot on target perhaps would have been nice.

If I am a tracheotomy, then fucking defeatists like you are a cancer…

Again look at what he has done since moving on, takes a weakened Napoli team and they are sat top of Serie A! We burn through great mangers and some shit. But all the good ones have said the same about us. We will never be a top team until the owners back managers. 8th richest club in the world. 3rd highest grossing club in Europe I think. All we do is sign or loan shite and shite that current manager never really wants or needs. It's fucking tragic. I just pray for the day we get brought out. Cant see it being for years yet. Not while Lewis is alive
My exact same thoughts, mate.

Lowering the wage bill and not attempting to sell the club means we either give up supporting Spurs, or understand this is what we are. Because nothing is changing for the good of the football club.

An average team that occasionally gets into Europe.

Back to the 90’s but with less reason why we’re still shit.
 
So disappointed, didn't even make a fight of it. Once they got their noses in front, the result was a foregone conclusion, just a question of how many we'd concede :(
Men against boys, but the boys actually played better than our seasoned internationals!
Gonna be a long journey home. Wish I could do a Samantha in Bewitched!

I’m so sorry you had to endure that, and a long trip there and back.

I was fortunate that I could switch off at 2-1.

Look on the bright side, we get to do it all over again on Sunday against Villa.
 
Yep. As much as I hate that bald cunt with a passion and trust me there is a common theme to my post, most are against him. He is great at business, but awful at owning a football club. He's set us up to be a power house and now choking the life from us. If he sold us to the Qatari's now and we got a new top manger we would be winning trophies within 3 seasons
I thank sugar and levy cleaning club up financially and running a tight ship. But we need owners to take us to next level. Our PR has been affected with these two with the spursy tag. Need an owner and coach who has the x factor.
 
Son scored 17 goals last season, Kulu


5 shots, 0 on target. You didn't see this game.

I saw every second of it ; we were up against a better team ; and whilst we kind of held them up in the first half ;
we never came close to looking to hurt them. In any shape or form. Which is embarrassing and disappointing.

But the plain facts ( as I see them ) is that we’re not good enough to do what we had to do tonight ( given the opposition ) .

I just hope we’ll learn and get better.
 
No team selection would have been strong enough to resist the best team in this country right now

You are ranting for the sake of ranting
Spursy mentality right there....

Yeah we were playing the best team in the country away. But we didn't win a single tackle or 50/50 all night.

And we just give that a free pass? weak ass mentality

There are many ways to lose a football game, and that tonight was one of the most spineless weak ways imaginable.

We could have lost that game to a moment of magic from Salah having left all of our blood and sweat on the field, we could have even lost it to a bent ref on a soft penalty. And I would be full of praise if that had been the case.

But lets be real we rolled over and capitulated.

We are such a soft football club

We did very badly tonight, we didn't compete. We didn't create upfront, not brilliant at the back, poor in the middle. No single player rose for the occasion as if the team knew the outcome before a ball was kicked. We looked miles behind in every department, the gap was big 4-0.

100 % agree ; I’m as disappointed as you , believe me .

But we’ve got to take something out of it ; and for me it was not being over-run in the first half .

To repeat; I’m gutted we couldn’t get through.
