In 2 finals in recent years, both arguably the best teams in Europe at the time of our finals.
I'm not that annoyed but we need a new identity of play and a new DoF and a new manager.
Feel sorry for Kane and Son. I wish them well wherever they go. They have given a lot to Spurs.
So we have lost to Man City and Liverpool

Sandy being Ty before the final and now Claude after it. You gotta laugh.

No mate, I said I wanted Spurs to win, and what Spurs fan didn`t. And I said I would be hugely disappointed if they lost.
However I am not trying to dress it up like lots of our supporters. That was one pathetic performance yet again in a final, where none of the so called main men once again turned up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes it was another pathetic performance. How we still have players like Sissoko in the squad and have them continually hamper us in these big games is why we aren't winning anything soon.
Sometimes your big players won't turn up, and it takes for other players to make a difference. Not saying Laporte isn't a big player for them, but not the one you look to to win the game necessarily, and he got them the all important goal when their attack couldn't. We need to fill our team with better quality so others can help win us these games, not fack it up for us like Sissoko seems to. Managers can only do so much so it's really down to Baldy.

I'm not a fan of the 'bottle job' narrative that gets pushed and I see it more often regarding Spurs. If I had to put money on today's game, it would have been City I'd have put it on and I'd have felt pretty good about it too. Same with the Champions League final and Liverpool.
I don't think of Spurs as consistent 'bottle jobs', I just think they are in the level below the teams they are facing when you get to semi finals and finals.
I've always used the term 'bottling' it as letting your nerve get the better of you and more to do with a situation you should otherwise have had under control. You've not bottled it, you've just fallen short of a team that is simply superior in basically every way. I don't even mean that as a dig, City are a very, very good football team.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yeah they are bankrolled by a country too lets not forget that! nothing special about a team that cheats at every level in order to buy trophies at a massive loss.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Worth having a look at the accounts.

Son was no worse than Kane today or winks or reguillon or lo celso. All were crap and this over reaction to Son is frankly embarrassing. Racism?

Got nothing to do with racism ffs
Son was dire, couldn’t even pass it ten yards. Kane was average but wasn’t even fully fit

Covert racism. Unconscious bias.

I feel sorry for Toby and Lloris. Both played well today. Both Kane and in particular Son in both finals, did nothing.
I think both will here next season but come next summer they could be off. It could be a good thing for both of them and us too.

Son doesn’t deserve any pity after his performance today, he was an utter joke. Don’t cry about losing big games when you yourself don’t arrive in them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I won't judge him on one game for his spurs career even if you do.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pathetic, babyish response, that’s clearly not what I’m doing at all. He’s always been a streaky player. Can look world class for a period before going missing for a period; he’s been anonymous for about 10 games now in what most would say has been his best season for Spurs. He was in terrible form for ages before the CL final too and took that form into the game. I’m not slagging him off, but I’m not embellishing the facts either - I like the man and the player, but don’t act like he’s bigger than the club or not flawed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kane also had a mare.
Harry Kane didn't attempt a shot or create a single chance for Spurs in today's League Cup final, the first time he's done neither while playing more than 45 minutes in a game since September 2018, versus Inter Milan in the Champions League.
Do you have any issues with Kane today? Or its just Son?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have issues with all of them, but Kane has been ridiculously consistent since November 2014 and is obviously our best player. And Kane still wasn’t as bad as Son today, he was utterly dreadful. I’m pointing out the inconsistencies in Sons time here that mean you can’t put him on the same pedestal as Kane like you did in your OP.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Highlighting that our 2 best players will probably leave and I won't have any issues. Our club is lacking serious direction.
