Our last shot (our 3rd) was on min 48:07.
We didn't complete a single pass in the final 3rd for the last 20mins of the game!!!!
Our defence is woeful - so you'd think Mourinho would instead prefer to put more emphasis on attack and play through midfield instead of having the defenders knock it long, losing possession and instead inviting more pressure on said poor defence.
He got it wrong today.
Work to do for the weekend. Tough month coming up now too with the FA Cup, Europa League, Man City, Chelsea and West Ham. Without Kane and especially Reguilon, it's going to be a very very long month. We never seem to look the same without Reguilon, 3 of our 4 league losses have come without him starting and we definitely don't look the same without Kane.

This is worst ive seen us play since the 90's and that's saying something with this team we have at our disposal. This brand of football is not Tottenham at all.
I love the four competitions rhetoric when we haven't played a single team of note in any of the knock out cups and we're looking more likely to finish outside the european places than we are top 4 in the league.
Edit: beat Chelsea in the cup tbf

Toby finished. 2 years ago yes not in a million years now.
Hugo top 4 no chance.
Bale stealing a living now next season China or USA.
Ndombele potential but still a long way to go.
Dele been poor for 2 years.
None of the players you mentioned play regular at City Liverpool Man utd Chelsea or even Leicester at the moment
It's absolutely tragic football.
He’s a frustrating manager.
He obviously breaks games down in the minutest detail. The opposite of Poch. It’s not about style or simply trusting the players to find a way to win. He treats it like an equation - we will create five chances and only concede three opportunities, therefore, we *should* win.
I can see how that sort of intense, objective way of approaching a game might work with some players, but others, especially younger ones are going to think it kind of sucks.
All our players must be terrified of making mistakes. Not a good atmosphere.

We actually drew against Chavs, won the shootout.
and No would be the answer
I do.
Why not?
If thing doesn't get worse, then it gets better.
Anyone who think it gets worse from here on, then how much worse? When Mourinho gets sacked? Who is the next manager? How much better it would be?
I was happy to go with this football when we were in a good position in the league but I just dont see it. We have been awful since the first half against West Ham. Cup final through playing lower league teams and a shoot out vs Chelsea. Made a meal out of the europa group stage.
I cant see us getting any better than we are; you can't see any discernable plan slowly coming together.
I dont think this will end well and to be honest want him out sooner rather than later

If we sack the manager, it has the chance to be a lot better.
I wouldn’t say it’s the worse since the 90’s, I still remember Bayern smashing us at home and Brighton away when Hugo went off injured , but yeah this ain’t the football I want to see , if it wins is a few cups then fair enough but is a whole season of shit football worth it for one good day at Wembley? Not even like it’s a day out now is it , will just have to watch it on the TV
Tough one. He thinks the defence is shaky, so wants to protect it? Thinks he can achieve that by being less progressive further up the pitch? No matter what he’s doing, it’s not working, so needs to change.
Really thought we’d go for it tonight and bitterly disappointed we didn’t. Their defence could have been got at, but we’d probably have lost 5-7, rather than 1-3 if we’d tried to attack.
