I know we are supposed to support through thick and thin but fucking hell the thin bit is a killer.

I keep unconsciously flicking back to BBC football and seeing what happened last night. SOMEONE MAKE IT STOP 
Yup, watching spurs season by season I feel like I'm in a mixture between groundhog day and the truman show. It's like spurs fans are part of a covert human experiment to see how much a human can be pushed to their limits until their spirit is completely crushed beyond repair :contebored:
No, it was the formation and setup.
- We lost CM because we lacked bodies.
- We sat off Boro and allowed them possession. We do not exert pressure or any press until they’re in our half. That’s clearly tactical.
- We’re too deep.
You don’t need to be myopic because you like Conte, every great manager gets stuff wrong.
He has shown a preference for a 2 man CM since he has arrived here that is illogical with our personnel, and is negatively impacting how we play.
Yes - Romero fucking wandering around - he does that quite a lot - far too many players taking 3/4 touches before looking up and thinking about moving the ball. Arrogant - he needs to focus on being able to head the ball first instead of thinking he’s Pirlo.
Cant keep playing Harry winks in football matches and expect not to get sacked
agree with PEH & Winks as CM's we need a third CM in there otherwise they are fighting fires all the time,
and that appears to be a blind spot in Conte's view of the game
with the players we have at present (Doc, Royal, Winks, Berwjin) Conte should be looking at stopping the oppenents playing then allowing Kane to play the ball to Son or wingbacks moving us forward that way

Holjberg is far from shit. In pretty much every game for us he has the most touches, most passes, most tackles and covers the most ground.
Dier is also not shit. He has been excellent for us this season and we looked like dog shit at the back when he was out.
Agreed - although he was decent on Saturday - should have started with Stevie wide and Kulu in for Winks. Kulu seems to enjoy running and fighting for the ball.
Shows out lack of depth of 2/4 MF are out. Good job we have loads of
CFs.
I guess he thought that by focusing on the other 9 players in attacking movement it will make up for missing the body in MF. Sadly, he forgot that it’s illegal for Spurs to play well for two games in a row.
Get over this he was decent
He wasn’t and he isn’t
Our record with him in the team is shocking.
We will achieve nothing with him as part of a midfield
The sooner this penny finally drops the better
The trouble with Winks and PEH is that they appear to have no urgency or sense of purpose.
Every time they get the ball it appears to come as a surprise to them, they stop, dribble the ball at their feet for a moment, look around and then pass backwards, thereby killing any momentum.

Tbf I didn't mean it as a slight on Romero directly. Just noticed him walking and it highlights how slow our play was. No tempo at all and that is not playing to our strengths.
We should have been all over the place, tiring Boro out and making them unorganised. Instead we were just stood with the ball in defence, allowing them to get organised.
So frustrating to watch.
We never do.
That game was, in my humble opinion, a pile a steaming crap.
It’s not good for his blood pressure, ain’t worth it, he ain’t magician, he wants to go, squad is rubbish, he can’t work with Levy,
If you think he was the person responsible for that defeat then I suggest you take up barge spotting
