Zero reason to rotate the CBs.
Nothing we don’t already know, just a shame the players refuse to change their ways. Being complacent never helped a team win anything.
Only players who should have been rotated tonight were Emerson, one of the central midfielders and Kulusevski in my opinion.
You are right. There is no magic at all. We look like we are playing walking football most of the time. Time for a massive clear out. Growing up watching Spurs there have usually been periods where the excitement of the crowd would go up a notch if certain players got the ball - Hoddle, Gascoigne, Waddle, Ginola, Ardiles, Klinsman, Van der Vaart, Hazard and Bale to name a few. Who can we honestly say excites us in this team? They are all so uninspiring and stealing a living. Can you imagine Conte signing these type of flair players? He is the wrong fit for this club
Just the glory of top four trophy to play for now
Tottenham assistant manager Cristian Stellini speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "If you don't win a game like this its because something was not perfect and today our energy was not enough to put the opponent in a great difficulty.
"We had opportunities to score, but now we have to analyse the goal we conceded. In the moment if you concede a goal you need time to recover.
"There was more energy from the changes, but we have to improve a lot.
"I can only apologise to the fans for our performance and they deserve much more than this."

He has a clue but doesn’t give a fuck as long as we get 4th
It's the chickens coming home to roost from when we made the mentality switch from taking cups seriously to focusing on trying to win the league and making deep CL runs only. Even our big players that are meant to set the standard don't take the cups seriously now.
We need a complete cultural retooling.
Bless... I wish I could buy you all a beer.
You sounded magnificent.
We should get their owners!
So frustrating...
Club is designed to disappoint. Once you accept that it's easier to deal with.
I have no doubt.
Angry yes. Surprised - no chance.
This is very much us.

There seems to be a pattern..
Let’s be honest , we struggle a lot of the time with our best eleven playing . When we rotate , the players coming in just aren’t up to it . Why oh why don‘t we just give the FA cup some relevance and actually go for it ? It now looks like we could have actually won it this year , seeing who’s left in it . We need a trophy FFS !
I'm depressed enough not to read the previous pages, but I can well imagine how this thread went!
The arrogance of our players was shameful, TBH, just thought we had to turn up to get through.
I'm not going to post my thoughts on the game either, as like the players, don't think I can be bothered.
On the coach home and if we get a good run, should be home by 2am. Think I'll hibernate tomorrow, just know that Romford will be crawling with gooners.

You're the revisionist here. In Son's first season he played 1100 minutes and had 5 goal involvements (gonna leave out the Ropey League for even comparison). In Richarlison's 1000 minutes (PL and CL) so far this season he's had 4 goal involvements.
Hardly "twice the player". Go check out Son's thread from early 2016, not a lot of people were convinced he would come good. Many said Lamela was a superior player. It wasn't as rancerous as the Richarlison thread, but then this place had a better cast of characters in 2016 and our expectations as Spurs supporters weren't nearly what they are now.
To be honest, more than Levy, more than Conte, more than the players, and more than the lack of trophies, its the fucking miserable negativity that pervades the supporters these days that has me soured on Spurs. It's just all fucking moaning, dawn to dusk.
My thought exactly. Amatuer manager. Didn't learn our leagues.
