This is the managers fault. Anyone that sets out everyweek with the intention of not losing rather than going out and winning isnt a Tottenham manager i'm afraid.
its ok sonny - you don't need to try to be funny for me
your "insights" and "football analysis" are funny enough
really, just don't..................bother
Townsend the best player today.
A bit of silver lining here

I thought Paulinho was our only good player today tbh
we might of got a drubbing score wise but we had 61% possession overall and Paulinho was everywhere today
Eriksen was rather shocking though and Dembele just doesn't link up well with anyone
Walker being ill showed to as he didn't attempt to go on any of his surging powerful runs that help open up space for attacking players
:defoe:
You are the football genius here known for his insights and analysis..........Keep the nuggets coming oh wise one
Don't agree - I judge the manager by THIS game - he's had enough time. He can't do it - ie he's rubbish. get rid
Oh I'm sorry - I hadn't realized you were challenged.
I'll leave you be.
You won mate, you were the best.
really
How's your wife.
She doesn't return my calls
Can't help but think that soldado would have got a foot to the cross where Townsend flashed it across the box.
Oh well upwards and onwards.
It can only get better, remember we've never had it so good

Ironic that we've been playing through the middle in every game he HAS been playing (with only 2 pens to show for it) and the FIRST game he's dropped, we're pinging in crosses for Wee Man Defoe like nobody's business...
did no one tell Townsend & Siggy that Soldado was sitting this one out?
Seriously fear for our players mental capacity when something so obvious is not drawn attention to!
stoopid pricks!
That's going to be tough considering next week is an international break.
People moaning about our tactics -
West ham played 6 in midfield, had everyone behind the ball and no striker on the pitch - anyone would have struggled today. Of course its up to us to break them down but fat Sam had a gameplan and today it worked - on another Day Defoe would have lifted the ball, scored at at that point, West ham would never have got back in the game - a risk that paid off for them.
We had a few players under par today - you just cant really get away with that at this level - I do wonder if some of them came into this game believing the hype a bit themselves...

Weird, I thought paulinho was pretty poor. Multiple times his poor first touch was our undoing in the final third.
