    Ange has said Richarlison was subbed because of his groin and Sarr probably shouldn’t have started but the club had no other options.

    If you can rouse the players to play against Liverpool but not against Everton, you are officially Juande Ramos

    It’s been a **** day, losing to Leicester and with our run of form is horrendous. All I know is I think we’ll be lucky there’s 3 **** teams (including Leicester) that will be below us so whatever else happens, happens. Let’s hope Ange stays, we get our players back and end up with a cup win which makes any league position as long as it’s 17th or above irrelevant.

    Doesn't wash though, does it?
    He could have played Reguilon and moved Gray into MF or started Bissouma. Either way, Sarr was awful from the off, so should have been subbed a lot earlier.
    Richy worked hard enough, but he brought Lankshear on far too late.
    Yes, we have injuries, but the player management is appalling.

    Pointless naming one anyway, he’ll barely use the academy youngsters. Swear he must hate them.

    This.

    He continues to make a difficult situation a hundred times harder than it needs to be.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Gray and Kulusevski are the next to drop.

    After that s*** show where do you even start?

    2nd best all afternoon for me today and deserved nothing from that game.

    For those asking I don't think the music at end was turned up that much, but there was quite a bit of dissent to be heard. Especially from the South stand.

    Everywhere else was a "tourist" day, loads of Dads with kids sitting around me as well as many empty seats. It appears even the Koreans are keeping away!

    Genuinely do not know where we go from here now. I suspect two big thumpings in the cups and Ryan till the end of the season.....?

    Singling out Porro for today's result is Route One

    ...but that being said, if he crossed here that's a tap-in, right?

    He was both the hero and villain today.

    Without his superb cross in the first half, we don't go in 1-0. He was also very good in general that first 45, ran the line really well.

    Second half? Best not to comment.

    It's a microcosm of the entire season under Ange. Lots of endeavour and a few moments of genuine quality, but piss poor decision making everywhere you look, both on and off the ball.

    His inability to fix this confirms that he is one of the worst coaches in our history.

    Honestly that falls solely on Porro, given we've had eighteen months of wide players being coached to drill crosses across the six yard line, and that's probably the only tactic players shouldn't improvise around given that creates high percentage chances

    If there's a tactic our players need to break from, it's the refusal to shoot from outside the area that needs to be at best relaxed

    • Spurs are 15th in the Premier League, collecting 24 points from 23 matches.

    • They are eight points above the relegation zone and are closer to bottom place Southampton (18 points) than they are to league leaders Liverpool (27 points)

    • They have won just one of their last 11 Premier League matches, winning one, drawing one and losing nine. They have taken four points from the last 33 available.

    • Tottenham have failed to win any of their last seven Premier League matches - their longest winless streak in the top flight since a nine-game run in 2008.

    • The defeat against Leicester was the first time since a loss to Notts County in 1912 that Spurs have lost at home to a side who had lost their previous seven league matches in a row.

    • Levy out

    Looks we’re on for a record breaking season then.

    Just not really the one we’d imagined.

    Horrendous.
    I genuinely believe this the disaster we’re facing would have happened years ago if it hadn’t have been for Kane (and a few others who happened to click together) papering over the cracks. We’ve been all over the place since we sacked Poch, but the decline in the last 18 months has been off the scale.

    Utd have managed one attempt at goal in the first half (off target). By de Ligt

    Just remember - it could be worse :(

    A number of us have said us such over the years.

    Kane and Son papered over monumental cracks at this club. Whilst we can “laugh” at Everton and Utd’s shoddy recruitment over the years, ours has been arguably as bad but our two superstars prevented us from dropping too far down the table.

    It’s why Kane left with my best wishes because he didn’t deserve to stay at this circus. It’s also why I’ll never turn on Sonny either, he stayed with the circus and whilst his form’s dropped (to which I blame the manager and his tactics more than a “decline”), after what he’s done for the club I can more than forgive a bad spell from him.

    I thought Porro was dire all game (the assist aside), he kept giving the ball away, kept playing hospital passes into his team mates and was at fault for a Leicester goal. His strength is attacking, a good striker of the ball and a good crosser, but he is awful defensively, he could make a good wide forward with a better defender playing behind him.
