The sad thing is that City were actually there to get the surprise win against. They outplayed us and for all their shots their conversion rate was terrible. If we had made more of our counter attacking opportunities which were shocking from out point of view, we could have snatched a win. Mason blew it as well with his team selection and subs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agree, despite City’s domination, they only had 4 shots on target. A better side would have exploited this and perhaps come away with a win as City were unusually under-par in front of goal. We looked clueless and miserable though, players look devoid of all confidence and typically, we mess it all up.

Hard to blame Mason but why is he even here as interim coach? Its a nice story, but would a top side seriously put a 29 year old in charge for 7-8 games, including a cup final? When Chelsea need an interim coach they get Guus Hiddink. Not having a go at Mason as we’d all say yes given the chance, but Levy’s decision making here is yet again a poor one.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chelsea are in a different ballpark to us when it comes to ambition (and money admittedly). When they are struggling under Lampard they sack him and bring in Tuchel. We give it to our 29 year old inexperienced youth coach.

Levy is like a discount, Lidl brand version of Abramovich.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

That could be down to the fact that Chelsea are also a chequebook club, with unlimited finance at their fingertips. Spurs do not have that.

There is no way in reality that Spurs can compete with City and Chelsea long term, They will just get richer.

That was why I was all in favour of at least Spurs being part of the new ESL, at least Spurs would have a better chance with all the money it involved. As it is, Spurs have no chance, with a billion pound stadium to pay for.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Money is a factor but it's not preventing our club from making better decisions and showing more ambition. Leicester don't even have the financial might that we have but are doing better with the on-field stuff than us at the moment. If they get top 4 and win the FA Cup then that's a more successful season than we've ever had under Levy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Spurts would you take Rogers?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah I would Irish, but he wouldn't be my first choice. There is however no way I can see him leaving Leicester for us. It makes no sense to ditch a project he's in the middle of where he's on the brink of CL footy and possible FA Cup glory to go start another at a club that won't be getting CL football.

"clear out of players is now required. Spurs are simply not at the level required to win trophies"

and you've just learnt this from yesterday.....
