    If we defend like this in the next 3-4 games we’re gonna get slaughtered!

    Poch needs to go through them at half time. We’re second to every ball.

    There’s never gonna be any half time changes, but Lamela must be the first one on 65mins+, or whenever Poch actually decides to change it up.

    This has been as frustrating a first half as I can remember for a long time.
    Son and Alli have been terrible and our defending has been very poor

    1-1 HT. Very sloppy half.
    Missing Eriksen's creativity badly, but our midfield aren't doing enough and our defence is all over the place.
    Dembele's lost his head, Son's not been involved and Alli's decision making's been awful.
    Pochettino needs to give them a big kick up the arse and consider early changes.

    Midfield's been non-existent. Dembele's stood out as poor but I've not seen Dier involved much either, apart from a couple of shots. Aurier and Sanchez have looked poor but I'd definitely get Dembele off first as a priority, he's been all over the place and looks frustrated.

    Bet365 have Son to score next at 7-1
    He ain't had a single attempt on goal and has only touched the ball twice...Llorente will replace him...unlike son he KNOWS where the net is <whistle>

    Agree with that get sissoko off at half time and get coco on .even a half fit Lamela is better than the £30 million clown

    I think we see now what Eriksen does because our midfield is neither controlling or creating. Dier can't pass with any accuracy and Dele ? is he playing? Son has done nothing but all this is down to a non existent midfield.

    Awful first half by Spurs. I hope Poch is kicking lumps out of them in the dressing room. That is not a performance of a team aiming to finish in the top three or four again.

    Poor defending especially down our right and the Sanchez, Aurier and Sissoko combo have been all over the place.

    I think Son has touched the ball 4 times and he has given the ball away twice. Dele not much better.
    We just cant afford to slip up in games like this.

    So the mid-season trip to Barcelona helped.

    Two players picked up a virus and the others are picking something else.

    I know I have a pop at sissoko but the fact is dele dembele and Dier need to man up and put in a performance 2nd half.

  17. Don’t think we should b focusing on either Son or Dele.
    The root cause of our problems lie with the MF and the uncertainty at the back from both Sanchez and Aurier.
    Would bring Vic and Erik on ASAP

    Once again we are looking at Verts and Davies being our best players.

    I'm not sure of the medical efficacy of submitting
    athletes to 14 degree temperature changes
    twice in a week. More so when your origin
    local temperature has been around 5C.

    Stephens in the book for a shirt pull on Kane. Not sure why the crowd are moaning, as that's blatant.
