It’s worrying. I can understand losing away to City with their money and all but the manner of defeat is hard to take.
Even after they missed a penalty they were first to the rebound.
No passion. No hunger. Players strolling about. No shape, that first goal was embarrassing.
Several players need to take a good look at themselves. Top of the list being Deli.
Some of these players think they are too good to play for spurs, I’m starting to think they may not be good enough.
Seems Poch struggles to get the balance between the cups and the league right. Last 2 seasons you had a good league campaign, but poor in the cups and this season you are good in the cups but suffer in the league.

Think the next few games will be a test for him. No top manager would stand for the way some of our players are performing.
Have to question his decision to release a book.
I love Poch but he has to sort it out. We are not good enough at the moment.

He continues to take us forward. Best thing to happen to the club for decades. Be thankful we have him, and remember PLENTY of top teams have their eye on him.

What top teams? Nobody would taken on Poch with his record of not having won a trophy, and unable to motivate players in the big away matches. I think he is getting way overrated. He needed to produce this season, and all he has done is taken the team backwards. Mostly down to his inability to pin down a regular side, injuries aside. No team will win anything with the constant tinkering Poch has engaged in.

Sandy already given up on the CL & FA Cup! Kinda makes watching football pointless

Not really Sizzle, but you know that neither Poch or the players are going to progress that far in the FA Cup, and in reality they have no chance in the CL. Poch in my mind has gone as far has he can. Absolutely no chance of seeing this team improving unless he bucks his ideas up on team selection, and cuts out the constant tinkering.

For me he lets those go who want to go and we replace them because I cannot see the point in keeping players who have their minds on moving away.

To be frank although you are right about how tinkering has cost the team rhythm and consistency I think you have a few players that arent very good or have simply dropped standards
Alli
Lloris who I thought was shocking and has escaped criticism
Dier
Cant blame Trippier or Davies as they arent exactly world beaters.

Junction, I am not advocating replacing him, but just like Klopp at Liverpool, he cannot be given a free ride. He has to held to account for the poor results, he is after all the Manager. What is it 1 point from 15 in the past five away matches, that is relegation form.
He needs to up his game, too many supporters giving him a free ride. I think we all need to wake up and start smelling the coffee.
To be fair to Poch his home record against the big teams is very good and most teams away record to the big teams isn't good. Mourinho even has a dreadful record away from home that we barely score a goal away from home to a big team.
Sizzle, I already have my ticket for the Wimbledon Cup match, so I am hardly a fair weather supporter.

This my exact point, Spurs do have injuries at the back, but you do not further weaken the team, by constantly changing the full-backs. You leave as settled as is possible, it is not rocket science. Pochettino thinks making half a dozen changes every game is good game management.
