Absolutely shocking today, we were absolutely awful and made Palace look like prime Barcelona. The tactics were appalling, the full backs kept getting caught up the pitch and Munoz was having an absolute field day.

Ange hasn't got a clue, this was a game where it would have been good to try and go into big match against Man Utd with some kind of momentum. Yes injuries are an issue, but Palace didn't seem to have a problem fielding pretty much their strongest side.

In all my years of supporting Spurs, today was up there with being one of the lowest, the players on were set up by Ange just didn't look interested. Poor Archie Gray had a nightmare in that 2nd half but tbh so did some of the others.

The front three whether it be the ones who started and finished all looked so weak and got bullied.

I remember the days when Palace would turn up at our stadium getting trounced, instead we have given them their first win in 10 I think without even having to break a swear. Fucking disgraceful.

This season we haven't been able to build momentum at any point. In the Premier League, the players have known for a few months that all hope is lost. In my opinion, the players are already defeated before they even step onto the pitch. Because they have no ambitions in this competition. It's just protocol.

Would those "cups" be the EL and shittiest ever PL side collapse Cup?

If we lose in Bilbao is will be the biggest disaster of a season in the clubs history, created, and delivered by a fucking idiot of a manager.

He has no fucking clue, respect for the fans or club.

Just a mercenary blagger, that is full of shit.

Yeah but if we win no-one's gonna give a shit, I think this is what is actually getting to people - the absolute jeopardy of that match is either going to set us up for an immediate future of happiness and success or unhappiness and disaster, it's basically Russian Roulette with 2 bullets.
 
I still can't believe, despite some of the poor seasons we have had (8th under Conte/Stellini/Mason looks good now) we had to resort to playing a B team against Crystal Palace, we've never been that bad! Such poor squad management this season.

A 20th League loss of the season from 36 games. On track to match the 21 defeats from 42 when we were relegated, bottom of the table in 1976/77.

We are currently on 38 points from 36 games. In 1976/77, assigning 3 points for a win, we were only 2 point worse on 37 after 36 games.

We are very lucky the benchmark is so low this season with the relegated 3 teams only amassing 54 points between them. We have had a league season that would result in relegation most seasons.

Do you not think that if we were ever in danger of relegation Ange would play the strongest 11 and play like our last 2 Europa matches and get points and we would not be playing a Europa final. No one doubts we have had a dreadful season in the league but we were never at risk of relegation.

Every manager we have had since poch has gone has said they have been happy with the squad, yet funnily enough they all seem to say the same thing about recruitment . They get a list of players , that have been pre selected and they can give the green light. They also get players come straight into the squad without no say whatsoever. Spreadsheet players that are there purely for a sell on profit. That is not assembling a squad .

Apart from Kane when did we last sell a player for profit?
 
Outrageously poor performance , poor team performance, poor individual performances and poor managerial performance. I truly believe he is the worst manager I have ever witnessed at Spurs and possibly the worst manager the Premiership has had. Don't let the Europa run cloud judgement, we have played no one in that competition and could win it by beating a really poor utd team. He still has to go either way, thanks for the trophy if you win it, but if you are here next season relegation is a real concern.

You could like the strategy they followed or not like it but at least the way Poch, Mourinho and Conte set the team up made sense.

Incredibly unprofessional if that is the case. Any player picking up those wages and not giving a toss needs to be fined.
