    Yeah I agree. He will go on to play for Barca or Madrid and look world class but I don’t see that guy for Spurs.

    Completely. We looked better last year when we were 3-0 down than today.
    Ange needs to show his frustration in his post match interview and lay into the team on the soft goals. I don’t want any of this we were unlucky bullshit

    I'm not even having a dig at Ange. It’s a collective effort.

    This is the madison I expected...as for the game...it's like so many others...soft goals conceded and not taking chances.
    Am concerned that Ange will be put under pressure

    Think we lost this game in the first 20 minutes when we somewhat had a bit of momentum. Think Johnson starting for Odebert was a mistake, he's being found out at this level.

    Top teams are built from the back and while we have good individual players we are so weak collectively that it means nothing.

    Seeing Johnson start is the one thing I just can’t get my head around. It feels like we do it just to justify the price tag. Don’t get what he offers at all.

    Is this the worst set of attackers Spurs have ever had?

    Werner's main contributions...great pass to release Sterling and then being 5 yards offside...

    He’s awful. Signing him once was bad but twice is disgusting.

    I don’t want any player or manager to come over feeling sorry for themselves in any of the post match interviews, that we were hard down by today and deserved more etc etc. They need to own it and use it to fuel the fire and ****ing sort out the weak mentality defending.

    Arsenal are a good side. They are well drilled and solid. But there is no way they should have had such an easy day.
    We created the square root of **** all.

    Back to the drawing board...

    This is what happens when you employ an Australian to manage a football club.

    The stats show that we were well on top. Just shows how much stats can lie!

    We’ve spent quite a lot of money in general recently. Especially with the likes of Richarlison and Solake considered too.
    But other than the football being a bit more entertaining (at times), we’ve not got much to show for it.
    Things need to improve dramatically, as we currently don’t even look like we’ll replicate last seasons 5th place finish. Our entire attack plays like they’ve never met each other before.
