But to be fair how many times did he receive/have an opportunity to get on the ball? I'm not saying he was great, but he didn't really have a chance to be great.I was with you until Lucas Moura . 4 fucking passes in 65 minutes. Made Defoe look like Zidane.
Settled defence? Which game were you watching?Eriksen is shocking. Scared to death of any contact, everything is laid off first time usually straight to the opposition.
Dier is shit. Looked decent against a few lumps from Burnley but against any decent footballers/pace you may aswell have 10 men.
As much as I love Sissoko and his cult status, between him and Dier there's barely half a footballer in terms of technique.
I think we basically have a settled defence now and a settle front 4. The double pivot remains the big question mark and I really don't know what Jose will do.
I don't see how GLC or Skipp can't do a job in there. The only thing Dier has going for him is his size but that is completely nullified against opposition like this.
Then theres the ever injured Ndombele and the non-entity that is Winks. I don't know what the solution is but it sure ain't Dier and Sissoko.
Does he not have the ability to watch back his games? I mean the fella is done here.Wanyama hasnt played under Jose' yet. Hes got to play the senior players a few times before he discards them completely.
They were all playing like shit under Poch though. It would be unfair if all the other players get a game or two to show the new manager what they can do and not Wanyama.Does he not have the ability to watch back his games? I mean the fella is done here.
That's up to Jose to answerSuch as? That Eriksen is a cunt and Wanyama should be covered with a blanket and put out of his misery?
I'd say pretty much every Spurs fan could have told you that before the game
I believe I’ve made that point. Don’t worry - he learned a lot.It wasn't meaningless though, there was lots to learn and lots more could have been learned.
1000% this.Does he not have the ability to watch back his games? I mean the fella is done here.
I've heard that in order to get players sold you sometimes need to play them, "get them in the shop window" not sure how this actually works or is just a myth but maybe that what was being done, maybe we have a buyer lined up in Jan????
But when is Parrott going to get the opportunity if not tonight when Kane hasn't travelled? I want to see the manager looking to the future, not to the past.
But like I say, Tanganga, could he cope with an International class speed merchant? We know Toby can't, doesn't look like Foyth is overly rapid. We defended so deep we would have had to move the bus forward a good bit to actually park it.I believe I’ve made that point. Don’t worry - he learned a lot.

Eriksen and Wanyama have played just to give some more experienced presence on the pitch, they are clearly not in his long term plans
But I'd be seriously worried if he thinks he's got a future at Spurs given the reported injury issues he's carried. The only excuse would be that the info we've got about his knees has all be fictitious, the medical team would have all the data, so maybe his knees are fine and he's in perfect condition???They were all playing like shit under Poch though. It would be unfair if all the other players get a game or two to show the new manager what they can do and not Wanyama.
I guess he didn't;t want to got for a 100% experimental line up and he wanted to play a few more experienced players. As much as I cannot wait to see the post Eriksen era to start, I don't have much of a problem with seeing him in a game like thisThen why play them in a meaningless game in which he said he'd give the players he's seen less of a chance?
I thought Eriksen was not too bad in the first half and I get why we played him if Dele is rested (we don't have another No 10 as Lamela is injured and Lo Celso is mainly played out on the right I think(??), with Eriksen at least he could attempt to bring in Sess and Lo Celso either side and therefore help their game. Or at least it would have been better than playing anyone else there.1000% this.
Every Tottenham fan on earth could have told Mourinho this and that Eriksen has become a fucking disgrace to the shirt before the game.
This idea that "José has learnt something tonight" is beyond mental.
