Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Debatable if dragusin is worse than vega. But vega just edges ahead better than dragusin as least he scored sometimes. Nothing personal but that third goal was diabolical from him from start to finish. He just played an easy header and put our player in trouble. Then was keystone cops after. Confidence is completely shot as is a lot of players.
 
You know when you just want to pretend to yourself for a few days that you dont care about Tottenham / football. Im trying really hard tonight.

It was a good day out up until we had to watch the game. So I suppose its what I expected. But that second half was so hard to sit through.

Fuck sake man.
 
Palhinha has been a car crash. Dragusin is a liability.

Cant play a back 3 with two shit CBs. At least not against a top team.
Why this guy out drag in the middle. The 3rd he plays a stupid header straight in the middle instead of goi g to his right where gray was! Tudor has to bin the 3CB shit u til we get players back. Play simple back 4 with players in their natural positions as much as poss.

We have both been warning about the constant degradation of our list over the last few years but fucking hell it was driven home tonight.
 
I thought in the first half the leap in intensity compared to Frank was clear. We looked up for it, more compact - more well drilled and up-for-it than we saw in similar games.

But on the ball sadly it was the same shite. No composure, barely any link-up, long balls to no-one. There were a couple of promising one-touch passages and bit of link-up that looked worked on, but barely anything.

As the game went on we got sloppier and faded. Silly defensive lapses, overplaying it, just general bollocks.

Tudor's really got his work cut out with this lot. The lack of technical players and passing in the middle is so apparent and we look so low on confidence on the ball. Plus we've got an absolute liability in Dragusin at the back that we need to rely on for 2 more games.

Won't get any harder than Woolwich but worrying nonetheless.
 
In retrospect totally might as well had a go at Woolwich. Would've lost either way as they're on another level.

In hindsight I would've gone

Not sure why Jun'ai wasn't on the bench, but assuming he was fit I'd have started him over Drag.

Tight call between LWB and Tel/Muani.

Probably still would've lost, but for sure we'd have seen more fight and pride.
 
Fuck off you Gooner cunt!
Come on with new manager, players happy to have Frank binned, 5 fucking days holiday then week of training. Plus Woolwich have played 3 games since we played toon. With wolves coming back from 2 down to get a point. Are they not just as far off goons as everyone says we are? Look at forwards all our CFs are virtually fit, we still had £40M Tel who some justified signing, plus £50M plus Xavi. We’d expect some real front foot passion at home to our fiercest rivals. But we stood off them and made it so easy to get ball out wide and pass inside.
 
Nobody played individually well today ( although Kolo had his moments) and as usual lately neither did they play well as a team.
I think we’ll stay up but come the end of the season there needs to be a big clear out both on the field and up top. A couple of small changes won’t cut it, we’re past that; big things need to happen.
Say we stay up. Still ENIC will never ever do what's required, not even half of it.

If they shifted 6 or 7, they'd still bring utter shite in return.

They just don't have it in them to get rid of 12-15 useless dross and bring in 6-8 top competitors.

It'll be more empty words and broken promises.
 
Anyone that wants Palinha signed permanently are mental.
Play him in CM not back 3 just to satis Tudors preferred and same with others. Thing is we didn’t need someone to die on their sword with their preferred formation / tactics. We’ve had that shit with Frank, Ange , conte etc. we needed someone to put players in their best positions, simple formation and tactics but with some fire in their belly.
