    Yeah they could easily have lost that 0-2 or 0-3.

    Now now, you got Mourhino now mate, your turn to deal with this ****!

    Don't worry, you'll get your chance to laugh when he's managing the gooners next season.

    I got no problems with Jose...first name terms..love the guy

    You must be mad if you think taking Son and Kane out of our team is not going to have a detrimental affect...I know that and I saw that tonight. We would have beaten them with them 2 in the team. Take your 2 best players out of your team and you’d be even ****ter than you are...think about it.

    So...I’m cool with it...this is not on Jose

    Mate they dominated you for about 70 minutes at home and could've scored more. What you could've done is played the way you did in the last 15 mins from the start.... I didn't see Kane and Son coming on as subs at that point but may have missed it. Otherwise that's the Jose way.

    You're going through the "convince yourself phase". I can respect that, I've been there. You'll move on to the "WTF is this" dire stage soon. That's far more depressing but the good news it leads to the "thank fck he's gone" stage shortly after.

    Don’t forget he helped you win your last domestic and European trophy and he was the manager when United achieved their highest position in the league since Fergie left.

    Maybe you’re just a bunch of entitled ****s huh?

    I don't think he's going to help you win anything tbh. That would've been the same if he'd stayed at United btw. Some say he hasn't moved on, he's dated, I think it's more the case he's no longer the manager he was 10-15 years ago. He's lost the eye of the tiger bro.

    like I said bru...he did ok in his last job for the **** he was working with

    At us if he fails it won’t be because he’s outdated, it will be because he’s not been backed...it’s how it goes at Spurs under ENIC...anyway, I digress, what I mean to say is stfu Trebs

    Standing through 90 mins with a ****ed up back is seriously not ideal, made even worse that we lost.

    As Spurly has said, half expected to lose tbh, no Kane or Son and no other centre forward is going to cost us this season. Leipzig deserved the win over the 90 mins though, we only turned up after their penalty.

    Have you not turned up late to quite a few matches recently? Masked by Son's late rescue every time. Now without him, that approach has been exposed tonight.

    I wouldn't really say so, we've played some decent stuff in quite a few games but with no Kane up front it means we've fluffed too many chances as the others need about 5 shots to convert 1. Now without Son too, it's hard to see where a consistent amount of goals is going to come from. Today we were pants for the most part but stick Kane in that side (more so than Son) and we probably would've had a couple chances in the first half to take a lead, he makes such a difference to our forward line.

    What do you think about the way you're playing and the effect on your defence? There's a lot of pressure being put on it and it's not managing very well. I think if you were drawing games 0-0 then it's about your lack of forward players. But conceding and then having to outscore the opposition makes it more than that imo

    Defence is **** mate, has been all season. Should've ****ed Toby off in the summer but instead we gave him a bumper new deal, Aurier is the worst RB I've seen at Spurs since Alan Hutton, Vertonghen is finished unfortunately and Davies has only just returned from injury so is rusty. Best defender has been Sanchez, only one who's put a shift in most of the time but even he's had shaky games. Tanganga's also been great, disappointed he's been dropped of late, I'd happily have him partner Sanchez in the middle or play him RB over Aurier.

    Just a few days ago I said you were the form team for top 4, but now I think it could be any one. I agree missing Son now is a real blow, but I still question how many times he could've saved you in games with 2/3/4 goals being scored. Without him now it really told today. Top 4 is an absolute unknown with a dozen games to go... and not for the right reasons.

    Kane is the one we really miss but Son's injury has obviously thrown a huge spanner.

    I wrote top four off after the start we made under Poch but Jose's managed to claw us right back into it, though now without both our top scorers it's hard to see us getting there.
