100 % agree : and the truth hurts.

That’s why we just have to figure out another way of doing things. It’s where we are Gazz mate ; and believe me I wish we were somewhere else right now .


We’ve all had a bad night , to put it mildly.

The problem is that the current midfield and attack look below par except for Bergy and Solanke so MAJOR investment needed in the summer

Yep. As much as I hate that bald cunt with a passion and trust me there is a common theme to my post, most are against him. He is great at business, but awful at owning a football club. He's set us up to be a power house and now choking the life from us. If he sold us to the Qatari's now and we got a new top manger we would be winning trophies within 3 seasons

You could say the same about Trump...

Decent enough businessman, (with a bit of help from Daddy) but now running the Country like one of his business ventures, without really thinking how it affects the Citizens/Fans of that Cuntry/Club...
Heh-heh, Cuntry Club!

Plus they're both cunts!

We did very badly tonight, we didn't compete. We didn't create upfront, not brilliant at the back, poor in the middle. No single player rose for the occasion as if the team knew the outcome before a ball was kicked. We looked miles behind in every department, the gap was big 4-0.

Well to be fair, Sky, ITV, TalkShite and all the others also seemed to know the outcome too...
It's all they fucking talked about beforehand!

It's like they've never even heard of a Cup upset!
 
We blew what I feel is our only realistic chance of a trophy this season, but we did that by not being clinical enough in the first leg. Liverpool were poor and there for the taking. We should have entered the second leg 3 up, which would have forced Liverpool to commit numbers forward, leaving opportunities to spring an attack. Last night was pitiful, I don’t understand how so many ‘top’ players can give the ball away, seemingly under little pressure. I hate to knee jerk, so have held off forming an opinion but Ange doesn’t seem to have anything about him

Bissouma should never be seen wearing the shirt again. Nit good enough, never has been good enough and once the summer comes he'll end up somewhere like Lens, Genoa or in the UK at a Norwich.

No qualities to his game at all. Move Gray into midfield for the rest of the season now.

The best thing he ever did for Spurs was laugh at that Gooner sitting on the turf when he was still at Brighton!

Why do we always seem to ruin other clubs' best players as soon as they set foot through the door??

Cup upsets don’t usually happen with the best and most in-form teams in the country. Especially when the first leg result was an anomaly in terms of what actually happened in the game. The first leg was the upset if anything.

They were always going to fucking go for it at Anfield. The media knew it, we knew it. But somehow Ange did not. Or certainly didn’t prepare the players for it.
 
I am sure I am not alone in having the following feelings or lack of . I should still be really angry about the pathetic white flag capitulation last night , sadly I just feel a bit disengaged and flat . Levy is like a giant vacuum cleaner that sucks all the joy out of following Spurs .

We were one of the most free-flowing, attacking, in-form teams going into the 1987 Cup Final... AND went a goal up, but still lost to Coventry!!

Maybe that was the first appearance of Dr. Tottenham?!!

I need your sympathy like I need ebola. I wasn't looking for it from anyone, and if I was, I'd come to you .... Well, never - actually! You don't possess any opinions I'd place a value on.

We got dominated in possession and were forced to sit deep. We didn’t set up to defend deep.

Thats not how it works. You know very well that the famous Angeball involves a very high defensive line and everyone pressing like crazy to win the ball and create possession. Why is it that until very recently thats all we have ever done, no matter who we played against, and it was the biggest criticism of Ange.

Last night they were set up to defend deep, they defended deep and they conceded possession. Too many injuries to key players, the ones who are able to play are exhausted, it's understandable that we chose to play this way.
 
I can take losing. Liverpool are very good side. What I wont accept is the manner of defeat.

The U21s would have done better. And this is becoming a pattern. In fact, it's about the only pattern Ange seems to understand.

...And it doesn't work when everyone is constantly coughing up the ball in front of the back 4; meaning they're just subject to a relentless onslaught.

When we've shithoused 1-0 wins against Man City in the past it required more than just the back 4 & GK to play well.

Also the way most teams set up you need your widement to keep the oppo full backs honest; otherwise you just get pinned the fuck back and your FBs doubled-up upon.
