    Vestergaard has to come off at HT. He's been abysmal.

    We need to get the ball first before we ask for any free kicks.

    There's no reason to complain about the ref this game. We've been outplayed from minute one. Its insane to me we can play like we did last week then look like a bunch of incompetent ***** the next week but here we are.

    Like another poster said it looks like we werent expecting this. Harry Kane and Dele Alli are having a lovely old time up front.

    Not blaming the ref for us looking lost, but every 50/50 goes Spurs wat and Ali should have been booked for that tackle on Berty

    That was shocking. Need a much much better 2nd half

    The best part of that half is that we are only 1-0 down.

    We have left our defence so exposed and we have been unable to cope with Spurs' movement.

    A drastic change needed, though fortunately we are still in this.

    I'm just teasing Tom. I'd rather just get Austin off...again.

    That was genuinely surprisingly bad. The players must be simply be terrified playing at home. Its the only reason I can think of.

    Very lucky to be only one down at HT.

    I’d bring on Armstrong for Vestergaard, the midfield needs strengthening.

    This 45 by Spurs has been the best 45 i've seen any team play at St. Marys for a few years.

    Only being one nil down is one of the few positives from that half. All of the back 3 have been at sea. Theres been a load of bad decisions but i think thats at least part down to the tactics not working for them. Ralph needs to change things.

    He has been beyond awful though, I've had to hold back a couple of times. Kevin Friend he's one of your own :emoticon-0159-music


    Anyway, Spuds look on it and we, well don't. Somehow only 1-0 so still in with a shot until that second goes in.

    I would love to know what tactical preparation we did ready for this game as it looks like absolutely nothing, we seem completely surprised by everything they do.
    Have our three CBs ever seen Kane play? Doesn’t look like it
