People are getting carried away. The first half went relatively well. We made a mistake early second half by a player who has been excellent for a long time (Lloris has saved us many times). That mistake didn’t have to be terminal. But the red card soon after - a decision that was very harsh - compounded the problem. It means the narrative will be about those two errors but there’s a lot more to the game and our season than that. It’s shit but it’s football.
I agree with this to a point. Jenas was all like "ugh same old Tottenham", implying that this was the same sort of performance we've been putting in so far this season but I thought it was much, much better in the first half. The couple of minutes where we let in that awful second and Royal's red obviously kicked us in the balls and it was pretty much a foregone conclusion from then on.

For a minute I thought I just saw Doherty cross it for them.

Seriously though

Conte just lost us that game..

Bissouma on the bench, absolute madness.

As if Spence is worse than Emerson...no chance.

Conte stubborn, and bottled the formation to please all the strikers.
Everyone new we needed to fill the midfield.
Conte needs to wake up sort it out because we are getting out powered in midfield every game

Today we didn't nick it

It's going to be f'ing insufferable for a while. Everyone will be queuing up to blow smoke up them.
No different to the last couple of months. The more the hype grows, the more they’ll believe it and the more the rest of the league will put a target on their backs. That could turn into a dangerous situation for them when they’ve got a lot of tough games to come. And with Haaland’s goal scoring it feels like we’re all playing for 2nd anyway.

Time for us all to log off, avoid Talksport and certain podcasts for a few days and enjoy other things in life*.

*Now waits to be let down by his teams in both rugby and NFL. But England could still win in the cricket right? RIGHT??!!!

The game completely hinges on Lloris throwing one in his own net. After that we were rattled, never found a groove and finally killed off by Emerson’s moment of lunacy. Quibble all you like about it being a marginal red card, but the fact remains the ball was nowhere near him and gave the ref a decision to make.

Conte needs to embrace the midfield three sooner rather than later. Son/Richy/Kane looked completely kanckared from their international endeavours and were completely redundant all game.

We’ll still finish above them.
we won't unless Conte revisits his tactics

If he continues to stick with 2 in midfield we're doing nothing this season, and I'm sure he must see that. I don't know if it's sheer stubbornness but it has to change.
I don't think he wants to sacrifice one if our three up front because they are were the strength lies.

while royal and lhugo are to blame conte is not completely blameless.... not sure what he said at ht but second half we came out slow. still think he should have gone 352. dropping off against such a good team is asking for trouble and thats what happened. this team doesn't have the players to cope with it despite it being the managers preferred choice.

This is on conte, why he still persists with 343 when we don’t have the players to play that formation is beyond me, hve defended Emerson cos he has determination & heart etc, but that was ducking brain dead. Soft? Maybe, but in a NLD it’s always getting given, and we’d be demanding it if it was other way round.
All in all, a shit day! And for some reason, for the 12 season in row, we’ve not turned up at theirs

Honestly I enjoyed the international break because things were a bit quieter for a week. Spurs is stressing me out too much on our own without even considering the Goons.

Everyone will be calling for us to change to a 352 but personally I don’t think the 3 at the back/wing back formation is working at all for us. We change to a 3 in CM and all we’re doing is removing a third of our threat on the counter. The wing backs no matter who they are aren’t doing enough in attack to really be worth it. We’ve got 3 CBs but we look less solid defensively as Arsenal doing with 2. It won’t happen with Conte but I’d rather just ditch it and got to a 433 or 4231. I think it fits the personnel better, would give us more control in games whilst keeping three attackers on the pitch.

Hopefully this game will see a change in formation, especially if Kulusevksi isn't fit.
