We have to sell One of Kane, Son or Ndombele this summer if we really don't have any money and spent that money on young, hungry, skillful footballers ...
Honestly, I think we're overrating our players. Are our starting FB better than Sheffield? Is our DM better than their's?
What, win stuff?

True, but I just don’t see it.Then he's just delaying the inevitable.
Make you right. After the public dressing gown he got from Jose before the lockdown and the follow up hatchet job on his performance from Carragher on sky, you would have thought he would take maximum advantage of the break to get himself in tip top condition ready to show the world the player he really is. Instead he looks in worse shape than before the lockdown and it is no surprise for me that he has been used sparingly so far.
That horrendous sliding tackle he made towards the end tells you everything you need to know. A player in decent condition would not need to slide in from so far out. It is a lazy tackle meant to give the impression he is getting stuck in but is essentially a con that reflects his poor condition and the fact he couldn't get there.
I suspect the positive comments about him are due to his undoubted ability and our desperation for some sort of hope. He is not the answer and like most of our 'record buys' over the years it looks like we have bagged ourselves yet another dud that will likely be hard to shift for any decent return. Sigh.

I blame the board for not investing at the right times; for going for deals that seemed to fit financially over what the manager’s had asked for; for delivering 1 trophy in 20 years; for watching clubs around us show ambition and surpass us and still feeding us the same old lines; for delivering a stadium with a cost inflated by the focus on commercial opportunities and thus saddling us with an unnecessarily large debt; for charging the highest amount for season tickets and still delivering no trophies.I don't understand this school of thought at all. Levy wasn't on the pitch and he didn't pick the team or the tactics. What is it that he's done which makes you believe it's his fault?
This is the problem are fans rate shit playersI have no issue with Davies atm. He's been playing pretty well.
He's no Roberto Carlos sure, but he's been fine.
And actually when he has got forwards as a regular fullback (not this sliding to a back three to release Aurier) he's actually lined quite well, and provided some much needed balance.
Vote for Davies
It's the same situation AVB had - we have a bunch of good individual players, but we don't have a good team. It's all a bit of a mess.
In a word: coaching. (Or lack thereof).Exactly! Couldn't agree more. We were actually saying recently that they look like they've never been introduced to each other! There's no understanding of when to pass, when to make a run, and if someone does make a run, it's not spotted by the player with the ball. 11 individuals, but not a team.
2 half way decent crosses, that was it.Our game plan seems to give ridiculous amounts of chances to cross from the right. Aurier has all the pace and athleticism to get in those positions, but no delivery.
I would be interested to see the number of crosses from that area in that game and how many hit a Spurs player.
Is he heckYes they had chances but we were generally in control. I’m just saying let’s put this game in the context of where we have been over the last 18 months - which is basically dross. Jose comes in mid season and has to work with an exhausted spent team low on confidence and running on fumes. Eriksen goes almost immediately and most of the team is injured. Since the restart we have been scrapping and showing heart and desire. Our creativity is nil. But no one can turn the likes of Lamela into a better player in a few months. 4 / 5 players need to be replaced. Jose is taking us in the right direction.
Omfg
it’s torture. Horrible, horrible football.
Sure I’ve seen worse Spurs teams over the years, but I have never one so godwful boring to watch
Is he the Bournemouth manager now?Jose on the radio: "It's hard against a team who is only playing for a point." Pathetic excuses.
Spot on...........there really is no excuse for the utter shambles we see going forward, even Lo Celso looked bereft of ideas today because he's looking to do one thing whilst everyone else around him is doing something else. In fact, apart from the defence, every other player on the pitch seemed to be doing the opposite to everyone else when we had the ball. Even the most basic attacking drills would produce a better performance going forward than we're currently seeing.
