Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Why are we getting worse? That was was so bad it reminded me of the early 2000s. Has Ange dragged us down 10 places?

I think it’s more likely that the blame goes to (a) the way we spent the summer offloading players and buying for the future, bringing in only one real first-teamer in his prime (Solanke), and (b) the injury crisis, particularly to our top two central defenders.
 
We are miles off it. We had a 3 minute spell out of 49 mins where we could have scored 2 and did score. Apart from that we are offering nothing. Woolwich are good at one thing and we continually give away free kicks and corners. That’s suicide football. We can’t string 3 passes together and we are still playing suicide football.
Sarr offering nothing and has to come off for madders. This either goes 4 or 5 or we get something out of this.
Why is Gabriel allowed to dictate when a corner is taken? They take a minute for each corner.
This is as poor of a Woolwich side for a long time but they are miles in front of us in belief of their ability.
 
Let's hope the ref sees the error for the corner and starts giving us some decisions second half because at the moment we only have to go within a yard of them and it's a free kick while they are all over our players.

Having said that it's unacceptable that we bottle this fixture every time. The players are terrified.

Only Bergvall and Spence can hold their heads up so far.

Woolwich were there for the taking but we just haven't turned up at all.

I'm sick of us bottling this fixture. We would be better off not going to the Emirates and taking the default loss every season we are so poor.

If we had some belief and just played our football without the silly mistakes this was very winnable today
Even so, I just can't see us doing anything.

Son should still come off for Maddison and he's not going to do it.

I'd also stick on moore for kulu.

Scum ain't winning this league btw.

they are rancid.
 
I think we did ok in the first half considering our lineup and the occasion. Just some mistakes as usual costing us.

Dragusin needs to stop trying to play out though. The occasion is probably too much for Kinsky.

I definitely think we can get a result here. Time to gamble with Johnson on the right, Bergvall 6 and Maddison, Kulusevski central
 
If we don't address the lack of passing options that Spence has when he receives the ball from the defence in the second half we wont get anywhere. We have nobody showing for him in midfield and he can't play it up the line effectively due to his left foot being weak. They trapped him like 10 times that half alone.
 
We have no coordination what so ever in our press. They Wolt let us get a 3 m pass without them coordinated pressing the shit out of us. Ange seems it off his depth.

I just hår ett hem keep your numbers down or steal a point. But we sure as hell won't win this.

There is a standard however bad it gets, a manager must uphold. That was embarrassing.
