You know things are bad when I start questioning Poch's decisions!
IMO Erik should have stayed on, Vic should not have come on and Lucas should have come on sooner.
VAR changes games in more ways than one. Surely not coincidental that after their VAR shout, we scored not long after. Then when the second decision went in their favour (correctly), their tails went up and they had their best spell in the game.
Think we deserved a point but you don't always get what you deserve. We really must take our chances, because the only statistic that matters is scoring one more than your opponents.
Apologies if these points have already been made, but I'm fed up enough and have no desire to make my mood even worse.
Now I'm going to leave this thread alone because I have a feeling that it's going to get poisonous, if it hasn't already.
 
Enough with these fucking signs.

Just watching Rocky III. Poch should tell everyone at the club to go rent this shit and watch it, see what glory is supposed to look like.

I expect and want fighters! Get it the fuck together and go murder teams like the cunts I know you can be! No more fucking about, become a fucking team and stop pricking about with all this plastic shit. Last chance saloon for a few of our lot in the twilight of their careers. Time to find a voice or watch it all pass them by. Time to take responsibility, none of this Happy Meal bollocks they've been serving up!

Toby & Jan are the key but only if they take it upon themselves. Where's the fucking fight at the moment? That 6 minutes of injury time and I don't recall troubling their goalkeeper at all? That's a fucking shambles I expect at the very least some heart, not this processed bullshit we are getting at the moment!

Fucking fight for it Spurs! Find your fucking hunger again or please just leave my club! No more excuses, it's time to take it seriously now. Each and everyone one of our boys need to make our club the priority. If they don't then they ain't welcome anymore. 1 away win since January? Look at the talent we have they should all be ashamed of themselves!

Fight or very kindly fuck off! You believed in your own hype Spurs, nows the time to show it was justified. Crunch time let's see what's you're all made of!

I wish I could like this a million times over!
At least print it out, magnify it and hang it up in the dressing room.
At one stage, I wouldn't have swapped any of our players for any others, because we had an incredible team spirit that stretched from the boardroom to the academy. There was a hunger for the ball that enabled us to play some scintillating football, with an edge to our play that looked like putting our Spursey tag to bed, once and for all.
I honestly believed that we had the best manager in the world and players who would run through fire for our shirt. I guess that I don't believe that now, which makes it so much more painful to see what's happening now.
Unfortunately I don't think that arguing the toss over statistics and formations is going to help and I can't offer any solutions. I just want to see players who give their all, every single minute they are on the pitch - is that too much to ask?
 
Positives:
First half was breathtaking

Negatives:
No bottle (still)
Manager making really, really poor subs (still)
Moura being treated like Janssen (still)
Throwing away a lead (again)

Could take a draw there today, but that defeat and the manner in which Brendan Rodgers can make impact changes but Poch can’t is extremely frustrating.

Poch status level:
Back to square one
 
The numerous posts about VAR is absolute cringe and embarrasing ffs.

He was offside ....get it into your heads ffs. We were screwed?? Our fanbase honestly turns Liverpool like during games.


How dare VAR give the correct decision against us.
 
There’s a mentality problem with the team and manager. Losing to Leicester away is no shame, they are a good team, but the Newcastle game, Olympiakos game and second half vs Woolwich are what the issue is. We fall apart.

It needs addressing because top 4 is going to be harder than ever this year.
 
Anyone else feeling like they are just about done with football??

I mean VAR is killing the game, we've had it to our advantage a few times and It didn't sit right with me then, but when you see refs missing people getting chucked on the floor in headlocks in the penalty box and not given after review and then he gives Son offside by the width of a fag packet today, which totally turned the game on its head... its a bit hard to take.

How can you celebrate anything now when they are pulling back goals for such ridiculously fine margins?

As Bill Nicholson once said...
“If you don’t have to drag yourself off the field exhausted after 90 minutes, you can’t claim to have done your best.”
 
Was working all day yesterday and missed the game, I couldn't bring myself to watch the match last night.
Having watched MOTD there I am absolutely disgusted as to how the fuck that Son offside can be given. Its got to such a precise point now that a player with a baggy jersey can be offside ffs and the point the guys made about when the ball is actually passed is valid too-why the fuck isn't the benefit of the doubt given to the attacking side any more which has ALWAYS been the case in 140 years of football?

Wanted tech when we were truly awful and the mendes goal at OT wasn't given because I wanted to get an advantage for a shite team but this VAR bollocks is destroying the game along with the financial doping of rich clubs. Seeing a team backed by an oil rich countrys royal family put 8 past a premier league club with ease yesterday is depressing as well.

As far as our lot go-I think Poch has been gone in his head since last season-his chat in the media is painful to hear. How can he talk about mentality etc while saying he was going to leave if we won the CL? His negativity has fed down to the players IMHO. We look finished atm, 3 'easy' matches coming up won't even fix our problems I am afraid. This is now a rebuilding project again, has HE got the mentality and bottle for it? I'm not sure he does tbqh because we are light years away from actually challenging again.

Haven’t won an away game for 9 months, not seeing much reason to get excited about this one.

Leicester are nothing special but we don’t seem capable of beating anyone away from home anymore.

Lloris
Aurier Alderweireld Vertonghen Rose
Winks Sissoko
Lucas Lamela Son
Kane

Jan is starting to worry me after two poor away performances, but he deserves one more start to show he can hack it. Otherwise Sanchez will take his place again.

On the flip side we haven't lost away this season.
