You cannot play a diamond when teams have full backs and wingers, absolutely no width, we need to get Lucas on and get him to stretch the play.

What the fuck do you expect him to do when he has only the great Llorente for support? At least he is trying, we losing this has nothing to do with him. Take the fuck Llorente off, push Lamela up into his spot and bring Moura on. That is how it should have started in the beginning

Spot on.

I just don't understand Poch's thinking at times. This has totally changed our way of playing.

The fact we've 3 out through injury isn't an excuse. This team should be able to perform better than this. The bastards should be fined a weeks wages for this. Disgusting ain't the word.

I had a feeling we might feel a bit sorry for ourselves tonight. We did Sunday but that was against a championship side.

No Kane and Dele takes a lot of the substance out of this side.

Moura on for Diet with Sissoko dropping back into CM. Need some pace to stretch Luiz and Rudiger

Lamela and Llorente need to come off, go to a back 3 as Rose is out of position all the bloody time.
Don't think Lamela has been bad. Made the only decent run of the game which was ignored by Eriksen.

I'd take Dier off for Nkoudou and Llorente off for Moura and just try and hit them with a bit of pace. We just seem slow as fuck.

I feel all nostalgic and it's given me tingles and goosebumps. I've been transported back to the late 90's spurs I endured as a teenager and some of.the irrelevant naughties. Ah, the good times of zero expectation and meaningless football. How I have missed it.

Unless something amazing happens in the 2nd half, I've all but given up on Serge after that.

Only need a goal, but that looks a fairly ambitious prospect at this point.

We were very poor after they scored. Up to that we were ok. Absolute suicide not to have the edge of box covered. Howany times have Chelsea scored long range shots against us in semis. Learn the fucking lesson.

He looked a different player at Swansea. Scored a bundle. Then got his Spurs deal and stopped trying.
Grow up.

He was the main man at Swansea. Had loads of playing time. At spurs, he is lucky if he gets 10 mins, he has probably never been 'match fit' at spurs.
What do you expect from a player that has zero chance of making the starting line up, even if he is the best trainer?

1st goal all from wasteful pass from Llorente just as we put some passes together. He is just utter rubbish. We put one decent ball into the box near the end and he is nowhere to be seen! Toby poor tonight also.

First goal was down to Toby deciding to stick his foot out and conceding a cheap corner.

As usual, we make life more difficult for ourselves with sloppy decisions like that.

We simply have no clue what to do when "attacking". Even more blunt than against Fulham
That’s because Poch doesn’t do tactics. We work in attack when we have Dele, Harry, Eriksen and Son there, but that’s because of them, not Poch. We need to employ an attacking coach/team alongside Poch.
