    Hugo subbed , no surprise but I cannot recall a goal keeper of ours subbed without injury , sky say it was injury, picking the ball out of the net ****s up your back without doubt

    They're pretending he's got one.

    Romero's body language looks terrible.

    Porro/Davies as the FBs would certainly have made the backline more balanced, while also allowing the security of playing 3ATB when Porro bombs upfield

    Problem is the same can't be said for Emerson/Perisic as Perisic shouldn't play as a traditional FB - although Emerson/Udogie would be more likely to work going forward

    They've employed top managers and recruited top players.
    I refer you back to my post re: Sevilla. Is their manager so much better than the ones we have had? Are their players so much better than ours?

    Can we stop aiming high balls at Son? He can't and won't head it.

    Absolutely disgusted with Spurs right now. I've never missed a kick off it just shows how much I care about this team. Started watching at 38 mins in and we're 5 - 0 down.
    Why the f#ck have we persisted with Conte's clone when we had the possibility of top 4 ?????
    Supported Spurs since 87 seens some awful spurs teams but not like this. I'm ashamed.

    Remind me, how many years I have been banging on about changing our goalkeeper?

    Shame this could be how it ends for Hugo. As bad as he’s been for a couple of years now, been many more good times with him.

    If Kane goes down there, then Schar gets sent off. Might've been the better option, unfortunately.

    Ironically, a proper DM would put a lot of those calls to bed

    It's like how Robbo would regularly concede from 25+ yards when Zokora was our DM and it was somehow Robbo's fault and not the lack of anybody in the middle third closing down players who were shaping to tonk it into the top corner from 25+ yards

    Similar can be said for how a few Old606 posters wanted Michael Dawson binned off, again because Zokora was leaving our backline exposed - but when we had Palacios (or, later, Sandro or Parker) in front of him those calls vanished into thin air

    While it is clear that Hugo has been on the decline post-WC, and it does look like he used the last drops of top quality talent he had to get France into the final and can't quite get back up to those standards again, if our midfield didn't go missing on the reg the decline could be managed to a degree
