    All of the teams have a chance, before the season starts, that's the entire point of a league.

    I've never once said Ndombele was the best thing since sliced bread, I'd just rather have some attacking intent than have Winks, Skipp and Holberg in a three again. EVER!

    Ideally Skipp and Hojljberg would have started in a two in front of defence, I agree Skipp would have started if I were picking the team.

    That doesn't however excuse Hojljberg. Hoddle is saying similar right now.

    The fight or the service? <laugh>

    Though to be fair I watched it on a dodgy stream for free and was still underwhelmed!

    this is a proper post.

    But you guys are still doing better when Alan Sugar was running the club so think of yourselves fortunate you get to watch any football as a top half team at all

    now be a good boy and buy another beer at the ground

    None of the players are up for this.

    It certainly looks like Kane is deliberately aiming for a poor season simply to lower his valuation.

    i can’t blame Nuno. He got results against Arsenal last year. It goes deeper than the manager.

    No ones asked for Winks to join them. However the pair add a level of solidity in front of the back four as well as giving Hojbjerg a more free role to push forward.

    With Dele and Ndombele, you don’t have an attacking midfield because the pair can’t control a game. They’re passengers and will continue to be.

    The job of the manager is to get the best from the players he has at his disposal. Nuno hasn’t looked like doing that since he arrived.

    7 or 8 might be the best result for us, it might force Levys hand. He probably made enough last night from the boxing to pay Nuno off.

    This has been absolutely shocking and I’m almost lost for words at how bad it is and how on earth we fix it.

    I’d like to see Skipp for one of Dele or Tanguy and Gil for the other, maybe Romero for one of the CBs because they’ve both been awful. Make all 3 at half time as far as I’m concerned, this can’t get any worse.

    Skipp and Royal for Alli and Tanganga. Injury again for the defender?

    Skipp and Hojljberg behind Ndombele would be the right combo in my opinion. To be fair to Dele, he's making lots of offensive runs with no balls being played to him. I'd take him off for Skipp in the second half though. Allow Son Lucas and Ndombele to create some things for Kane.

    Commentators seem to think so. Skipp should solidify the midfield a bit. Whether it’s enough, who knows.

    I've no doubt your Missus could have beaten up half of those 'boxers' that I watched last night.

    Change Ndombele for Gil and I’d agree. The fat Frenchman can be a second half sub as 30 mins is about his limit at this level before needing an oxygen tank.

    Or just crap. I think crap.

    Spurs playing like they've been abducted by aliens and replaced with a Sunday pub team. Still pissed from Saturday.

    The subs are just damage limitation as if not damaged enough already. Only Gil on the bench who can do anything to turn this around.

    A total embarrassment.

    Apart from Norwich I don’t think there are any worse teams than us. And I would fancy Norwich to beat us as well!<laugh>

    Tomiyasu looks a million times better than Emerson Royal, another great decision by Spurs
