    1-0 FT. Awful.
    Pochettino has to hold his hands up for this one and admit that he got it all wrong.
    Stupid tactics, poor substitutions that were left too late and a completely spiritless performance.

    Because Pochettino though they would be throwing
    everything but the kitchen sink at Spurs. The INSTANT
    it was realised that was not the case, the team should
    have SWITCHED FORMATION to something MORE
    ATTACKING.

    Same old same old. Coulda been 3 behind 2nd. Instead we're looking over our shoulders again.

    Why did he think that? It was never going to happen. They don't play like that.

    Which of the players is going to get the hairdryer
    treatment for that performance ??

    I have repeatedly claimed that Pochettino does not do it.
    But talk about wanting to leave : oh then you get it.

    Wanna know where that path leads to ??
    Go and look down the road at the manager our
    neighbours have finally decided to oust.

    It's always difficult playing against a bunch of clogger's playing for next seasons wage packet at this time of the season. Hope they go down though.

  7. Fair play to West Brom. They had a plan and it worked.
    We didn't......

    No more excuses, Poch. Your team selection played into their hands and you didn't change things quickly enough. We just showed the same naivity that's been apparent in most important games.

    Sort it!!

    Yep.
    But that’s not the half of it. We’ve persisted with Kane again up front who offered nothing. We have to drop him. This mentality of always trying to find him as the talisman, despite not turning up since coming back from his injury, just isn’t working. Another match where we’ve looked flat and been out of ideas.
    Moura should have started today. We needed an injection of energy.
    Utter crap, but so predictable.

    Not really his style. He should be blaming himself, anyway.

    You absolute ****ing idiot, Pochettino.

    Pathetic formation to take away to WBA. Clearly has a mental breakdown in games where something is on the line.

    Absolutely livid with that performance.

    He's injured and we've been crap in every game since he came back. It's obvious.

    100% our own fault and the majority goes down to Pochettino. We should be battling it out with United for 2nd but instead we've ****ed around against Brighton and West Brom and now we're hoping Liverpool do us a favour tomorrow as there's nothing that says we're good enough to get 4 points from our last 2 matches.

    Well done to Moore and West Brom, they'd better stick with him.

    On the plus side I thought Rose was good today. Looked back to his usual self. Hope we keep him.

    The joke is that West Brom will still go down, but will now affect us massively in this fight for the CL.
    Hate to say it, but we need a Liverpool win tomorrow.
