    Well that was awful.

    We have no midfield general

    Bloody awful half. We're too slow, inaccurate and impotent. Shambolic!

    On the plus side. The second half can’t be any worse (can it?)

    So flat

    Could make up all 5 subs at HT, but I expect we will see Son and Porro!

    1-0 HT. Pathetic performance. No balance, no creativity and very disjointed at the back.
    Postecoglou got the team selection all wrong and it's obvious why things aren't working.
    If Kulusevski's on the right, then he needs width from the fullback. Gray isn't going to provide that.
    Johnson on the left is just a bad idea. We've had absolutely nothing down that side.

    You know when I lined Tottenham up as the next notch on my bedpost I didn't realise how **** a club you actually were.

    I'm genuinely beginning to think I should have been more ambitious.

    Lucky we’re not going in 3-0 down (or 3-1 actually as Solanke ****ed that early chance).

    Just **** all about us.

    This is becoming almost a carbon copy of last season but without the great ten game start. We’re looking knackered in December, bereft of ideas and lack quality. But hey, we’re building a new hotel outside the stadium! Bosssshhh.

    What is the point of Bissouma? He's a bang average player at this level, misplacing passes and failing to pick up runners.

    Questionable starting 11 with Johnson out left, has he even touched the ball?

    Forsters the only one to take any credit that half. If you could make 10 subs, there'd be case for everyone else!

    I think he's playing the wrong role, but I don't think he's been too bad today.
    He should be rotating with Sarr, not Bentancur.

    Everyone's expecting subs and I understand why, but I think we could make a massive impact just by switching players around.
    Johnson on the right, Kulusevski into Maddison's position and Maddison on the left.
    Might be worth a shot for 10 minutes if our bench players are really struggling for fitness.

    You give him too much credit. The number of times he fails to run with the attacker is ridiculous. It happens every game.
    And his passing has been awful (not alone there).
    He should be making his presence felt in the MF, but he gets by-passed. Trouble is, we have few options in that role.

    I would like to say that it's only 1-0 and we get the next goal then it's up for grabs. But to score a goal you need to create chances and we have created very little whereas they look like scoring frequently. If they get a 2nd we might as well go home because we aint scoring 2.
