    You are watching a different game to me we have been dominating but not been ruthless or got the rub of the green. They have been ruthless and had the luck too.

    We should have sorted the goal keeper issue. Vicario is being taken for a mug

    I think Ange is out of his depth at this level. I think Levy has promoted a mediocre attitude and convinced us and the players that property and infrastructure is the way to go and not success on the pitch. #LevyOut and #AngeOut.

    Stupid og
    Typical Spursy 2nd to concede
    Statues for the 3rd

    Poor, no fight and pride

    Son playing dog ****
    Vicario is pissing me off with his lack of movement. He was glued to the ground. I don't understand, keepers can get away with punching a player's head off

    It's bullshit, losing is ok but losing because you don't have any fire in you is ****ing pathetic and contrary to the spirit of sport.

    What're the odds the PL announce a new set of rules for protecting keepers at set piece for next season?

    Death
    Taxes
    Rule changes only after we get ****ed over

    Individually our defenders are excellent but as a unit a shambles .
    Just what are we doing on the training pitch ? not good enough.

    Maddison and Son been shocking recently.
    Richarlison and Lo Celso need to come on at HT.

    Maddison's been playing like somebody playing through a niggling injury for a while, TBH

    The issue with our CBs is that problems are invited onto them, either by some of their decision making (i.e. that backpass from Romero to Vic that immediately put us in danger and led to the corner for the first goal) or the decision making in front of them either due to Bissouma slacking off defensively or Hojbjerg all too often passing backwards when Ange's system is reliant on building up quickly. If you put any of Parker, Carrick or Wanyama in front of them a chunk of those mistakes will cease to exist

    Defending is a big part of football though.

    To let the players and manager off the hook by saying they’ve done ok except they can’t score or defend is ridiculous

    Agree but nothing excuses losing heavily at home to them lot

    Also it feels like the team has been going backwards in recent months. Take the very good start away when people were caught by Ange’s approach and didn’t know a lot about it and Spurs have been struggling for months now.

    I’m not letting them off the hook at all! It’s embarrassing how **** we are at defending! I agree that there is no point in playing pretty football if you are so ****ing weak at the back

    One person's playing with an injury is another persons coaster. I'm afraid I'm with the latter option.

    The defending of set pieces in particular. It’s been a big issues for a while now yet it looks like they haven’t worked on it and more and more goals are being conceded.

    I don’t even think it’s pretty football tbh, it’s predictable and becoming easy to defend again.

    Says it all that Romero was the player behind Richarlison.
    While the search for the next Danny or Dave continues,
    I continue my campaign for him to be captain.
