Sounds like a similar debate to that on this weeks Spurs Show, Rob Easton (IIRC) asking similar questions about the resignation from our team once we went 2-1 down. Classic Mourinho of course in terms of shutting the game down but the lack of reaction/leadership from our team was the main concern.
I didn’t really feel that our heads went down or we gave up, I just think it was a combination of things. Mourinho had them set up much better tactically this time, he also coaches his teams what to do in given situations and once they got their noses in front it was tough to make headway. Kane was poor again, as was Son, Dembele had a bad game, we had no impetuous from midfield and Poch’s in game management didn’t really help matters.
I really don’t think this team lacks fight or determination, it just lacks a bit of nous, quality and in game management at times.
