Match Bournemouth vs Spurs - Wed, Jan 7th @ 7:30pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Has occured to me that this squad is sorely lacking in English/British talent - having a core of quality British players has always been a hallmark of Spurs squads since I started supporting the club.

This may be contributing to the disconnect between players and fans - do any of these players really give a f***?

Not necessarily English/British, but at least academy.

Not one player in the starting line up has a motive to give a fuck about the club.

Was evident when VdV was talking about how shocked he was that the manager had gone and that he didn't expect it. Like, we finished 17th mate. Lowest league finish since 1974. Get a grip.

Academy players aren't necessarily fans, but I feel like they give a shit about the club and typically want to be here
 
When you use your eyes and watch us the reality is that Frank's Spurs are just too easy to play against. You get the sense that when Bournemouth went one down they were a bit dissapointed but they knew they could still win. Our attacking is one dimensional and easy to nullify. Defensively we allow easy possession around the edge of our box with no pressure on the ball. I just don’t how we can continue.
 
There is no cohesion because some fans have been calling for his head since the second or third game this season. How does he change that attitudes.
Some went way too early, clearly out of spite because we sacked their daddy but its been unbelievably bad for 2 months, nothing is being built, no players are improving. I expect inconsistant results with this squad but there's nothing there.
