It’s Saturday night. Out, where I usually am.

Didn’t see most of the second half. But as to the problem, imo it’s a too thin a squad that are worked to near death and then collapse from near exhaustion.

MP has to take blame for not making substitutions earlier too.

Fair play fella. Good to see you are one of the very few Spuds who are willing to front up.

I've been working all day, so I've only seen some snippets of the highlights. Pogba making Dembele look like a little girl was one of the funnier ones :)
 
@Skylarker can you whatsapp HIAG and tell him to get his cowardly arse on here for the pasting he needs to face.

The longer he leaves it the worse it's going to be. :)

He guessed which way Dembele was going and jumped in. It was a stupid mistake. He doesn’t make many, normally.

Defense worries me. Ffs, pay Alderweireld what he wants and let’s get back to a back three of him with Vertonghen and Sanchez.

@Dier Hard seems to think he's done mate.

And Alderweireld is out the door surely ?
 
You've still got Sissoko <rofl>

On a real though, wtf with Dembele ? He 'can't handle it' ? You need to ship him out to ****ing Leyton Orient if that's the case.

The sad reality is that Sissoko has probably as many good games as Dembele this season.

I can see him going Italy or China in the summer.
 
I think he’s just overworked. The squad is too thin, but there ain’t many replacements for Dembele at his best.

Today, unfortunately for us, he wasn’t.

Maybe his best is well behind him fella ?

Who else can you see going ? Looks like Alderweireld has one foot out of the door. Will Lloris, Eriksen, Kane, Alli, Dier stick around for more than one season if you're still potless ?

II think Spurs have got a real monkey on their backs now about not being able to get over the line and win a trophy. The pressure is really on Poch now to do something next season, otherwise this team he's assembled is going to start to break up.
 
I've been crying out for Pogba to play in front of Herrera and Matic this season, it's a shame Herrera hasn't been a regular as he's one of the best at what he does.

Jose needs to sort that **** out from game one next season.

Herrera is massively underrated imo. Don't know if Maureen has ****ed him off or what, but he needs to ****ing play that boy.

And yeah Pogba is an attacking midfielder, no point trying to get him to sit deep in MF because he's just wasted there.

He's a box to box midfielder, he falls apart when he's asked to be a DM and it affects his confidence for weeks/months.

Herrera is pure class, one of them players the opponent hates but we all love him.

Makes you wonder what Pogba could do with a manager who plays attacking football, but if Maureen is smart he'll stop asking him to mop up at DM

Spurs fans frantically googling "Will Harry Kane be fit before 22nd April?".

I really hope he is, he is the biggest bottler they have on their books.

You called it Tel lad.

So, Chavs get the easy draw and we get to dry hump United again.

I’m so looking forward to Poch taking his first trophy against the Chavs. It will be sweet on so many levels.

Lol.

Toby I'd say is 99% out the door. Rose and Dembele probably 50%.

We'll miss Toby, Dave Sanchez has done really well in his first season in the Prem but right now one is a work in progress and the other is a finished article. Rose and Dembele's performances this season give the impression we'd be better off without them if it meant bringing in better quality.

Poch ain't under much pressure at the moment, everyone considered this season a write-off anyway due to Wembley so the fact we've pretty much guaranteed European football of some sort and got to a semi final (despite playing annoyingly **** in it) is better than what most expected. As for next season, there's whispers that Levy really wants a marquee signing to go with the new stadium, papers have also said he'll give Poch £120m plus whatever we make from sales so if that's the case it could be an interesting summer for us.
