What I don’t get is why do we bottle?
I don’t get it, time after time players that seem mentally weak. It’s no wonder the fans all melt, they just follow the players lead who seem to melt even harder than the meltiest fan.
It’s like a reverse Liverpool, players and fans even if the team is average expect, we just expect to fail. So fucking annoying.

Toney would be a good shout, menace
The spine of the best of Poch were Jan, Toby, Dembele, Eriksen, with Rose and Walker at their best, which all allowed the forwards to play freely and openly.
That spine is now just a shambolic and weak collection of losers and misfits.

Away vs AC Milan = Plan B.
vs BVB in the CL x 4 = Plan B
Away vs RM = Plan B
Let's be honest though.... A Plan B is a lot harder to acheive if Plan A by default is low energy, pragmatic and in-flexible.
Can't believe at this crunch point of the season where we had it all in our hands we've then gone and not registered a shot on target for two games.
I mean, I can believe it but still... Diabolical.

Which Conte was brought in as part of the issues to resolve.
The worst aspect is how passive we are and how little composure we possess or display..
Shocking.
Clearly, I still don’t realise how poor our team is and what a bunch of bottlers they are.
You said his passing was poor. I don't agree.
I pointed out a great pass he made.
Simples.
If someone in the US asked me if its a good idea to support spurs I'd strongly advise against it.
welcome tto the lastt 10 yrs
It was irony.
noun
the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.
Absolutely nothing actually funny about the last two games.
So with respect, withdraw your comment please.
At least Poch genuinely gives a shit about the club and wants what's best for us.
Conte only wants what's best for Conte.
Conte only backs the winning horse and that's not us. He'll walk this summer. I'm sure the lack of transfer budget - however much it is - will be cited as the reason but it won't be.
Master tactician - after the last two games? Bringing on Sanchez? Do me a favour.
Spurs fans desperately cling on Conte like the fat ginger guy who somehow landed a 10 despite the fact she clearly treats him like shit. When a better bloke comes along, she'll be gone.
He stops Winks from playing. That's really what his role is.
There's a blueprint for a performance that will play to our strengths, but 343 ain't it.
We’ll fluke a league or FA Cup eventually, but I think the club will never again reach the consistency, quality of football, and high-level success of Pochettino’s years here. I think we topped out what the club’s capacity those years and I don’t expect to ever see better.
This isn’t a bring back Poch post, I loved his time here and will always view him positively but I don’t think he can recreate the magic again. He’s a good, not great manager. More than anything he was a perfect match for that group of players.
But everything went right at the club with that squad. We brought the captain of England through our academy. We bought Rose, Alli, Dier, and Walker as homegrown teenagers who cost a combined £11m and became immense players and regular internationals. Lloris, Eriksen, Toby, Vertonghen, Dembele and Wanyama all cost £15m or less. Hell Son was only £22m.
We had an unprecedented run of successful purchases and academy successes and we had some great years, a champions league final, but never actually won anything. We’ve seen in the subsequent years that what we did with player acquisition wasn’t replicable. Getting those players for those prices was miraculous.
I don’t see everything aligning like that for us again. We squandered our golden generation and now are just running on those fumes. I don’t expect to see anything as good for decades.
