Just got back from the game and have to say that's the most deflated I've been about Spurs for a long time.
I made the mistake of getting my hopes up and thinking we were looking like a decent team again. But that was a total shambles. Maybe you could argue Capoue and Dembele looked a decent pairing but the rest
Ade offered nothing. Soldado even less when he came on. Lamela did a few tricks, but no end product. Eriksen looks a shadow of the player he was last year. The defence is barely championship level. I have no idea how that clown Chirches is ahead of Verts. I think we've now suffered enough of Rose and Kaboul, just facking throw Davies and Fazio in there.
We were just so lethargic today. No tempo, no movement and thoroughly deserved to lose against an awful team.
With two guaranteed defeats in our next three games, and Southampton looking a tough prospect in between I'm already depressed about this season
Hopefully Poch will get a style of play in place, but today just killed my optimism.
No positives

We have zero creativity from CM, nobody with a range of passing that can pass the ball accurately first time or with a touch.
Time and again our players over hit or misdirect key passes, their judgement of a weighted pass is non existent.
Crossing of the ball is abysmal also, nobody can accurately deliver a ball into the box, usually it goes over everybody`s head or hits the first defender.

And why did we get rid of Sandro?

The good news is Poch slated the team's lack of urgency in his post match interview so he knows fine well we didn't play with any tempo today.
Imperative now the defence that is going to play at Arsenal, plays wed night. Probably Naughton, Fazio, Verts and Davies.
Erikson needs a a kick up the backside so leave him out, play Lamela central and stick Lennon on the right and ffs MORE URGENCY!!!

You could see what Billy is talking about in the midweek match too. This is not an isolated one match problem.
Coaching is at fault here.

Soldado is probably our best crosser, he put a peach in for Kane in midweek and it's not the first decent cross he's thrown in, the rest are useless from the wide area

thought the second half of the Citeeeh V Chelsea match was worth watching.
Nothing like Mourinho wondering how to explain it to Ambramovichi-clown.

As I said repeatedly, losing Sandro, for whatever reason, has cost this team BIG.

Oh yes, isn't ENIC preparing to sell the whole show at WHL to someone?
Perhaps that explains why we playd so badly today?

Paulinho is a very good player. he should not be getting stick on here.
But when we bought him we also bought Sandro.
