You guys, like a lot of spurs fans, talked about how Dier and Sanchez made mistakes, and they did, and I don't overly rate any of our CB's, I don't overly rate any of our FB's defensively either, but what you didn't really address in your autopsy was how everything else we do as a team is so shockingly bad, we don't press cohesively, we don't track, we don't put pressure on the ball and continually allow people time and space to put balls into our box. We are so passive and slack without the ball, lack aggression, even in bus park mode, the rest of the team are collectively responsible for heaping pressure on a bunch of flawed defenders.

This is the most (of many) disappointing things about us under Mourinho. He can't even seem to get us organised without the ball properly and doing basic stuff like aggressively pressuring the opposition, tracking runners, and doing these things cohesively as a group.

Against West Ham for the first goal, Son just stands and watches team mates in trouble and Bowen have time and space, Moura lets a guy run off him into the box. It's just really basic stuff.
