I’m actually pretty facked off with that performance tbh. Ok it wasn’t our strongest team and it is a tough place to go, but we still had the likes of Son, Maddison, BJ and Bissouma starting. The passing was some of the worst I’ve seen.

That was one of the most disgraceful performances I’ve ever seen as a spurs fan. Every last one of them feckin gutless, including Ange. Jesus feckin Christ! I really can’t put into words how awful that was until Lankshear went off.

We are not winning this competition. Naive, fantasy football that will never win us a thing if we keep this up. Hold your head in shame Ange. We never performed that badly under Conte or Jose. 32 shots they had and most of them decent too. 3-2 doesn’t do them justice. We should have lost 10-2 and made headlines as one of the worst sides this cup has ever known. I want these little weasels to feel the pain of this.

One thing is for sure, Dragusin is a joke of a player. Sorry, he’s just awful and Bergvall, generational? Do me a favour. He was awful again tonight. Kulu and Bents are the only two that come out with credit.

Gutless waaankers
----------------------------------------------------------------------



Talk about hyperbole. Honestly Fridge every time Spurs lose a game you go into one, even if it is only the B team.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sandy, you’re not shy in doing the same so button it! 😂
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It's my article so I can post what I want.

I am not the one having a meltdown over a pretty meaningless match.

Spurs only have to finish 24th in the group to qualify for the knockouts. European competitions have been turned into a serious joke. Eight matches to play just to finish in the top 24. I mean seriously how can you have a meltdown over tonight's match. It was a training session.

I suspect both Son and Maddison will be benched for Ipswich.

Bang on! Ignore Sandy. He’s clearly cosplaying as some sort of rational fan, which he never has been. The irony is that this is the one time when it’s justified anger. Awful performance from quite a few players considered first teamers. There’s no excuse.

I think Dragusin is getting away with it because no one seems to give a shiiit about the result but he’s 100% a problem in that system.

Some of our senior pros need a good kick up the Harris and a good long hard look a themselves. Surely they cannot come off the pitch and look in the mirror and think that was good and I did my bit..

3-2 decent result away in turkey against their strongest outfit with rotated team and 10 men by the end
----------------------------------------------------------------------


Could have been a lot worse. But pretty sure Spurs full strength would not have lost. But it is a long drawn out group stage, so can afford to lose two or three and still comfortably qualify.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pretty sure??
Match report says we could have shipped a lot more goals.
We'll see what this loss (really a drubbing) does to overall confidence on Sunday!
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It’s not a drubbing at all. It finished 3-2.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
reports say they should have had 5 or 6 goals. Thats a drubbing

I know it was only 3-2 but I’m 45 and I can’t think of a performance from a Spurs team I’ve witnessed that’s been as bad as that. Honestly.

It can’t be a drubbing if it doesn’t happen.

If one team batters another team for 90 minutes but the game ends 0-0 is that also a ‘drubbing’?

It’s gonna be very interesting if we’re sat in the top 4 on Sunday, league cup QF and all but guaranteed Europa league qualification, 10 wins from the previous 13 games.

I’m wondering if we do beat Ipswich so the above does transpire, what people will moan about?

Of course the performance was poor, that was an absolute mish mash of a side and we’ve probably spent training this week specifically on Ipswich and not Galatasaray.

But Ange if anything went too strong tonight - no need for Son, no need for Porro. We’re lucky Drag and Ben didn’t get injured as Romero looks 50/50 for Sunday

Remember the drubbings we gave Leicester and Newcastle this season - we had 35 shots in those 2 games and conceded 11 shots - we took 1 point

Actually yes, I’m some ways. When we beat Bournemouth away 3-2 under Conte after being 2-0 down, I was happy with the result but ultimately worried about performances. A few months later and that form affected results badly. It’s not whether the score was a drubbing, it’s about whether that performance is going to set a trend. Plus we really need to find some consistency. Losing this isn’t a disaster but it is if we’re going to get that monkey off our backs about never really getting any kind of momentum in terms of results.

It’s not losing that bothers me I fully expected it given the line up but it the manner of performance of our seasoned pros that feks me off. Their supposed to help, guide, inspire the younger ones. What inspiration did they get from that.

Dragusin & Davies are not comfortable on the ball… so why encourage them to do so…
It’s always a disaster waiting to happen, otherwise
Forester’s distribution was bad also…

Well Bentancur and Solanke were brilliant when they came on, should take some inspiration from that.

The others were mostly players who sit on the bench for us currently as they are not doing the business consistently - James Maddison for example.

There were positives tonight - Lankshear getting a goal, Johnson getting an assist to follow his goal Sunday, hopefully helping his confidence. Big Dom grabbing another goal.

This game was like a pre season friendly for us - there was nothing at stake in reality. We’re still sat 7th in Europa table, a point off 2nd and 3 points off top. We’ve got a poor Roma side next, a bang average Rangers side, a relegation zone Hoffenheim and Elfsborg who will be about 6 weeks into their off season - I reckon we take at least 7 points and secure a top 8 finish

Forster starting with Dragusin and Davies was always a recipe for disaster - those 3 were a nightmare against Coventry.

Dragusin hates the high line, he always seems terrified and with Davies beside him he seems worse as neither has pace. Inside the box he is a monster and our best player aerially.

Davies is horribly underrated by this fan base, but again, needs pace around him if he is in this high line.

Both have put in good performances recently in the league and against City.

Forster - I’ve no idea why he starts games, he is poor from start to finish and his distribution is awful

Agree bents, dom and Sarr made us so much more better when they came on.

But the rest were really poor and you have to remember these so called bench players are the same ones who will play when we have injuries suspensions etc so it is a big problem for us

It’s a big problem for all sides - see Arsenal without odegaard and City without their first team players.

That’s why Ange rotated tonight - save some of those first team players for more meaningful matches, keep them fresh so we don’t have to play the likes of Bergvall and Lankshear in competitive matches when they are not ready yet

Yep, this was a low stake game for us where the most important thing was to not pick up injuries. We need 1 point from our final 4 games to guarantee qualification now

My only complaint was that we should have gone weaker and left more at home.

Sunday is by far the bigger game
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Surely you will need more than one point? I'm sure you'll finish top 8, but I doubt it 10 points will be enough.

Yes get that totally but player like s Davies, son, madders, porro, etc put in lack of respect display collectively and they should setting the example for the younger players.Not bothered about the young players as they should improve.

1 point for top 24, likely need 16 points for 8th spot - that was based on the Monte Carlo simulation they did at the start of the season.

10 points mathematically guarantees progress to the KOs

Maddison is just in poor form, Ange has dropped him recently - it happens.

Davies and Dragusin are not a great combo and with Forster behind them it’s a nightmare - I don’t want to see that combo ever again.

Son is recovering - Sunday showed that

Porro - I didn’t think he did a lot wrong to be honest and he has generally been one of our best players this season.

It’s not a great night but it’s hardly a disaster either. It’s all about Sunday, that’s when we need them to turn it on.

We do have an away game problem and Ange needs to sort that - but I can’t get too worked up about tonight - we’re still in the seeded spots despite losing

Onwards and upwards then COYS COYS COYS
