So angry at how turgid and spineless we are.
Does make you wonder what is going on in the training sessions because there is no intensity at all.time will tell whether this is a blessing in disguise but it also wouldn’t surprise anyone in the slightest if results start going the way of Nuno and Jose. The performances have been really bad lately and unfortunately you can’t just flick a switch and have a reset. We had a full week to prepare for that and we produced that.
I get what your saying. But I've seen it plenty of times in football, that unbeaten streaks make teams lazy and complacent. A loss is usually a kick up the back side to get things going again.time will tell whether this is a blessing in disguise but it also wouldn’t surprise anyone in the slightest if results start going the way of Nuno and Jose.

Still unconvinced by that midfield
I only saw the last 20.Ditched the game at 70 to read a book to my son in bed. Looked at the score at FT and saw we’d lost 2-0. Found the 70 minutes I watched very boring and monotonous so posted about it. Cheers though.
I agree. We have been poor to watch all season and been lucky with a couple of results really. That ran out today. A lot of our attacking play ends with Emerson having time and space which he wastes.But we haven't played well at all this season so far and we haven't played any of the top sides yet. Hopefully the better sides will bring out the best in us and we can move forward but I'm not convinced this style of football is going to win any trophies. We have to start passing better and moving quicker and getting into games earlier not wait till the 2nd half.
So some kind of butt plug required?No end product, not going to score a goal while I have a hole in my arse.
I think tonight really exposed our lack of creativity with that front three. As mentioned before Kane was forced to sit deeper and be the primary playmaker and when he’s not on his game we look completely toothless and our passing anywhere near the final third is horribly hit and miss. It’s why Kulu needs to be playing and really, I’d hope, we should be looking to bring in another player with an eye for a pass and good on the dribble.Tbh the performance was honestly on par with the Marseille one, if anything it was a bit better. But it’s really tough when the front players struggle with touch and passing as they did in both games. The play between the lines isn’t consistently slick enough currently. It’s to be expected from Son who has never been good in this area, but Kane was incredibly sloppy in those areas where he is usually really good. Richy wasn’t much better. It is why I do think Kulusevski should really be playing more.
You win some you lose some.
A defeat was always coming for us. There's only so long a team can go unbeaten in all comps till they need a reset.
I believe the team needed this loss to give them a kick up the back side as they were getting complacent of going unbeaten in so many games.
This is a blessing in disguise for me personally.
The two man midfield doesn't work maybe try a 3-5-2 yes we have almost zero creativity but teams wouldn't find it so easy to cut through us
It wasn’t disgraceful. We had chances to win and for 90 minutes we had more of the chances. But we tired and their fresh subs made us pay in injury time. There are issues with that but it’s not disgraceful!Disgraceful performance all around. Players, coaches, everyone.
Sporting have played 6 English clubs in the CL... Not won one of them.
They also lost all of their 3 home games, not scoring once.
What could go wrong?
Na fuck that we are going to batter them mate.Leicester must be laughing as Dr Tottenham is in the house when they are rock bottom .
Complacent about what? This team isn't good to achieve anything of note so what makes it so cocky.I wonder if we’ve become a bit complacent?
