So many times you see their players just not trying to, or not being able to track runs. I think they've either reached a point of entitilement, thinking wins just happen for them, or they are simply bored of putting in the effort required.

The Walker one at the end, OK you're 3-0 down and it's last minute, but show some fucking pride. He just watched Timo and didn't try to catch him until it was too late. Even for our second he could have spotted what was going to happen and got to that space that Madders finished up occupying. Only starting to make an attempt to get there too late.

They were just off it too much. Shame eh. Long may it continue. Cheating cunts.

This for me is when it went wrong for Poch at Spurs.
15/16 & 16/17 he had a squad with a very low average age, none of whom were really big stars yet. They all hung on every word, did everything he said, worked at least as hard as he asked them to and got success.
But once they became very famous, a little bit older, more prone to injury and more self entitled, they maybe started to ask why they had to work so hard.
Pep for almost a decade has had no issue replacing players before they even tip over that point. He knows which ones aren't committed to the style and he lets them go. Fair play to him for that.
If Poch had identified a prime Kane, Dele or Eriksen as not committed to the his style and let them go, even for megabucks, our fans would have gone fucking mental.
He had his hands tied in that regard, and the fact Levy wouldn't sign a ready made player to replace them either.

If it wasn't for the 115 charges looming over their heads, Pep would have already replaced a lot of these players, what we are seeing now is more of a level playing field.

I have often wondered if the world's best stadium and training facilities makes them too comfortable.
Get them over the Marshes on a Sunday morning putting the nets up, and breaking the ice on the barrel of water you washed your boots in.
That'll learn 'em!
