It's the reversion back to the Spurs of old with our weak underbelly and not even at present the individual flair that is hard to stomach and very boring to watch, which leaves an empty feeling.

Why is Wanyama anywhere near the pitch these days?
No point in disagreeing. You don't talk about mathematic do you? It's plural.
He's had five years, and three off season months this year to sort this shit out.
In his first season he segregated Ade, and another three players. It doesn't take a fucking brain surgeon t o see where the problem really is.
Stick that fucking Dane in the ladies side where he belongs, give Jan an extended contract and play Aurier at right back.
Levy should hire a DOF and then these issues would disappear.
Is this game so fucking complicated?
Excuse me, but Eriksen wouldn't even cut the mustard with the women! Agree with your last comment though.
I totally agree with you. Players need to give 100% all the time. Especially players like we played vs Colchester, who are fighting for playing time!
But let’s be clear, Man City wins League Cups because their second string is good enough to easily win their early round matches and then they (like us) play their first team if they get deep into the competition. Our second string is way worse than their second string. Doesn’t excuse losing to Colchester of course.
In the end though, I just don’t care about the League Cup. Hopefully Poch can use the loss as a motivational point for the rest of the campaign.
I don't particularly care about the League Cup (would be nice though), I do care, a fucking lot about not being able to beat Colchester. No matter what competition it's in. In the end it's unacceptable.
Did not see match but I disagreed with the team selection. I thought Poch had learnt that Dier and Wanyama should never play together unless a difficult away match v say M city or Liverpool. Much too defensive. Picking 2 new players at a time when we desperately needed to get the season on track was madness. Both of them were subbed and it has probably put their progress back. You blood new players when things going well. KWB and Skipp are part of the squad and should have played. I really did not want to lose several players talked about leaving or Poch but with the present run of form no longer care. This results hurts and we can do without sarcastic remarks from some. Inability to create any decent chances or take them was abysmal. Difficult to see a way out short term and looks like a very painful season is ahead.
And certainly NOT something that anybody could turn into being motivational....
ochfacepalm:
Don't worry Spaniel y'all still matter.
Yee haw!!!
Colchester dude, it was fucking Colchester
I thought it was Dorchester
I would ask you though, what is the name of this great football club? But what do we call them for short? Doesn't really matter though because we all love Spur just like we all love math(s).
Don't think there will be any chirping from Spammers anytime soon based on today. United either.
It's the very least of our priorities. I'm not a Pochettino apologist by any stretch but he has to prioritise, and he has to get some games into all the squad players, otherwise when you need them they have no match sharpness at all.
Yes, they are a L2 team, but they knocked out another PL club last round. They worked their bollocks off at just trying to keep us out.
We didn't play scintillating, productive football but, despite playing an almost complete reserve side, with 4 academy players, two making debuts, we had 74% possession whilst not allowing them a single shot on target in 94 minutes.
This wasn't an embarrassingly bad performance, that would have involved us being outplayed, shook up, roughed up (like a few of our other cup games in recent seasons Newport, Rochdale etc) and skanking fortunate results.
We just failed to create much of quality. We had Moura (who creates fuck all for anyone else), Alli (who's been out a while until recently and bumbles about anyway) and Parrott, a 17yo kid as forwards.
Don't really know why Poch decided we needed 3CB's for a game like this, it was daft, and we could have had an extra attacking body out there. But nothing embarrassing happened, we totally dominated, couldn't break them down and lost on pens.

That's fair enough but,for me, the problem was having (I believe) only 3 shots on target and 2 of them were weak efforts. Doesn't include hitting the woodwork I know but still.
