Shocking performance until we scored

Fair play to turn it around tho.

Have a sherry to celebrate Sandy.

The problem Sandy is that Conte’s tactics reply on having three good centre backs that can defend and play out for the back which we don’t have. We probably have the best attacking players in the league ( apart from City and maybe Liverpool) but Conte does not have his teams press or attack teams.

Not sure why we’re throwing the towel in for the Marseille game.

Marseille are 5th in Ligue 1 and recently lost 3 league games in a row. If we turn up and give our best we have every chance of getting a result.

Always great days winning games like that. Sours don’t look great but you have to enjoy those moments and forget that.

I’m not saying Conte is a bad manager but is he really the manager we want? I would rather we played attacking or pressing football than sitting back and hoping that we can score more than the other team.

It’s almost as if we start every game trying to follow Conte’s tactics, and then throw them out the window for the last half an hour

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well that is my point, Spurs need to go out and buy two top quality CBs, they won`t come cheap, but it would make a world of difference. That and a top quality attacking midfielder to go alongside Bentancur. I am sure Conte knows the problem, but he can only do so much each window that comes along. It will take three or four windows to get the squad that he wants.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I certainly am not throwing the towel in. But you know with Spurs when the pressure is on to get a result, they usually buckle. Marseille will be very intimidating, and I am not sure Spurs have any players that can really put it in when it matters.

Two really tough games this week, Marseille and Liverpool.

What manager do you want? Spurs cannot keep changing managers every season. Lots wanted Potter, he has just led Chelsea to a 4-1 defeat at Brighton, and I doubt he will last very long at Chelsea. Always be careful what you wish for.

Conte is a genius

Could Deki be risked on tue?

Will we ever find the ball that Emerson kicked trying to shoot at the Bournemouth goal?


Will we ever see another clean sheet for us?

Yes you are right but did we need to spread £60 million on Richarlison instead of getting a top quality CB in the summer?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

They may be 5th, means nothing. Spurs away from home in Europe have been shocking for a while now, so not holding my breath that they can get anything out of this game. Hopefully they surprise me. One thing for sure just to go out there and hope to play out for a draw would be suicidal.

They gave Ben Davies a new contract and are looking (reportedly) to do the same for Dier ffs

I wouldn’t even be surprised if they did the same for Sanchez

Need to start selling these players
----------------------------------------------------------------------
totally agree
this is ridiculous

Definitely needed Richarlison. He is a good back up for Kane and Son, and Spurs need him back as quickly as possible.

Agree all three probably need moving on. At worse keep one as a squad player.

Marseiile need a win so expect us to sit back and look to pick them off. SHould play into our hands but relies on us defending well. He saved Dier and Romero for that game so should look better at the back than we did today.

Yes we needed another winger but I think we needed a top quality CB more.

no, backup for Kane/Son is what I meant

and he's decent and that's going rate for an international front player

we should've sold Davies, Dier and Emerson and got a decent CB

Spurs defend well. That's a good one.
