SPurs make very average teams like Brighton, Wolves (who just LOST to Coventry) , Fulham look like World Beaters
Far too casual in front of goal. We had a few chances in the first half that we should have scored.
If the other team are going to sit back and defend in their own box - fine. Get the ball in there and play for a penalty.
We seem obsessed with getting the balls out to our wide players, but we dont put anyone in the box for them to aim at

Yesterday was really frustrating with the amount of sloppy passes and lost duels.
However actually thought we were a lot better than we played against Wolves a few weeks ago. Even though we weren’t good yesterday we could easily have scored a few and it wasn’t like Fulham squandered a load of chances.
On a side note, definitely think Robinson could be a good Udogie backup/competition.

Getting beat by Fulham is not great , but they are not a bad team . However getting schooled by Fulham is not and should never be an acceptable metric for any Spurs fan.
I remain happy with Ange and what he is doing , but we remain some way off being a title challenging team, make that a very long way off .

And in those 3 game you mention we played some of the worst football I can remember in recent times. Shocking, losing football.
Give me winning football over so called 'AngeBall" all day long, mate
Agreed.
We were abject all over the pitch but that's it.
Shows if you are off, sometimes that is irreparable.
Had we not conceded the second so quickly into the 2nd half who knows but fcuk it.
Now to the next game and hopefuly the right reaction.
Considering our lack of European football and no domestic trophy participation all season, and with only the league to focus on, I'd rate it as the most pathetic performance since the Newcastle shambles last season.
Limp, weak, soft, and seemingly lacking any desire or motivation whatsoever
I’m sure the players got carried away with the 4-0 last week, combined with their usual feeble mentality when the going gets tough in the top 4 race. Ange said after the game that we got too carried away in possession and he’s right, the spaces we left were insane. We always leave a certain amount of space as we play high and try to dominate the ball (City, Liverpool and Woolwich do too) but this was far worse than normal. This wasn’t the normal balls hoofed into the channels but literally Fulham carving us open with easy ground passes under no pressure.
Every time we lost the ball Fulham could walk straight into our penalty box, Maddison and Sarr just went running up front and we lost all compactness as a team. Even when we had time to reset there was no hustle and no willingness to close down. Second goal is a perfect example. From a throw in Fulham took one touch, turned inside and the entire pitch was wide open. They walk past Udogie and a half-arsed Bissouma and they score.
There was simply no desire to stop Fulham playing, absolutely zero. Our players didn’t show them any respect and were deservedly humbled.

Poor from the players and management, but not surprising though because we have come to expect performances like this.
Is it no wonder that, other clubs laugh at us, we pretend to be a big club, but cannot act like one.
I have even woke up this morning, to find a gif from a villa fan mocking us, we beat them last week, and this week the real Tottenham are back.
They all know that, spurs will fuck up, so just wait their time, which in this case a week later.
Villa will probably beat West ham today, but when we play them they will beat us.
No excuses for that performance but I think It’s pretty obvious that still being in all the cups and the midweek football with this small squad is starting to take its toll! 
After having some time to carefully reflect I came to the conclusion we're just hopelessly shit and the team needs putting down. Anyone know any good vets that work in sports?
Yesterday we had no sense of urgency, no aggression, no verve and we failed to adjust to our opponent’s tactics. So simply, we did not deserve to win.
They shoot horses, don’t they?
Let me guess, everyone of our players is shit now lol
Depends on the mood in the room at the time I think.
Exactly defeats happen but we were outclassed yesterday and that is not acceptable- not sure what has happened to ange ball but Fulham were the exciting team to watch- not sure if ange still tries to make his dad proud but villa aside we have been a pretty lame watch recently
Yes, every single one of them is irredeemably shit and needs to be put down.
Love a keyboard manager /expert lol
