Yes, it says it all that we have the whiniest fanbase in the league that expect us to win every game and have no patience or perspective whatsoever.
We're allowed to be disappointed with performances though. Do you want everyone to form in unison as we cheer a 0-0 draw against Bournemouth?

I don't believe MP is biast in favour of any player, but he needs to understand that Lamela is not a beast in his position - and is actually just above average. Yes, he does bring something to the team, but we shoudln't be building a team around him.

That said, the general level was lacking, and we really needed some flair in what was a relatively open game.

Still unbeaten (y)

And please bench Eriksen ffs.. He's not the AM or creative maestro we craved if he's not useful in his passes or even attempt any tackles truly... Gosh..
I think he linked up well towards their box. He definitely has the least erratic first touch/pass of our forward players.

I've said multiple times this season Eriksen should be dropped he isn't performing at all. And if Alli doesn't score he literally does nothing, the amount of shit little chip passes he did today giving possession straight back to them was woeful.

Really disappointed that we only seemed to really perform to beat City this season, didn't get close to that level of intensity today and that's what pisses me off most.

no point dropping Eriksen if the replacement is Moussa Fucking Sissoko

Some of the comments in here are embarrassing, you can guarantee most of you haven't played football to a decent standard.

We are still unbeaten, Bournemouth played well and were in our faces from the first minute, the ref was a homer, i'll take that point, well done lads.

They pressed us well and the ref was shit, however I feel like Poch subs made no sense at all when it's a game we are looking to win

We spent 58 million pounds this summer on Janssen, Sissoko and Nkoudou. Zero goals and zero assists in the league thus far from these three attacking players. Truthfully, they'd be lucky to tally 5 goals and 5 assists between them this season, as when everyone is fit, they won't be starting.

Should have just put the money together and gone for a proper player like Lacazette.

Missing in action.
Not uncommon for Eriksen.

City Won 6 Drawn 1 Lost 1
Arsenal Won 6 Drawn 1 Lost 1
Spurs Won 5 Drawn 4 Lost 0

That's why we won't be challenging this season, all well and good being unbeaten but way too many draws.

Struggling to take positives, suppose no sendings off unbeaten run maintained
I sorry but this bollocks about being unbeaten is a positive? we could draw the remaining premier league games and finish unbeaten mid table. It means fuck all unless we benefit from it. Drawing against this lot of shit is shocking.

We played well against City and West Brom. Apart from that we have been pants this season. Not enough pace in the side and no real backup striker. We got lucky with Kane, Son had a purple patch for 2 weeks and hoped Janssen would be a steal, but instead he is horribly short of pace and doing a Soldado impression. We don't look like scoring in a month of Sunday's. Our defence is making us look better than we are. So bloody frustrating 2 points against lesser teams. Aaaaaaarrrggggggh!!!

Sissoko could well get a ban. But in all honesty it won't matter much, he's been totally ineffective since we bought him.

I cannot believe we spent nearly 50m on him and Vincent, they may be slow burners but atm is very fustrating to watching especially now that we aren't winnning games

It may not be a bad result in the long run, however it's hard to say. At the moment it feels quite deflating because whenever we look like we may make that leap forward (going top) we seem to lack something to really kick on.

Against Middlesbrough we started very strong and took the initiative to blow them away quickly, we just don't seem to be able to do it at the pivotal moment. Until we can do it, we won't be winning the league I'm afraid.

That has seriously pissed me off.

Shit managent by Poch, names an unbalanced bench with 2 attacking players on it then compounds it by taking off the only 2 players who are scoring ATM.

In a tight game, I simply have no idea the logic in ever bringing Sissoko on. He will never score or do anything creative.

As pony as Alli was, at least he's a goal threat.

Surely Nkoudou can't be worse than him.


Two points from Brom and Bournemouth isn't great.

Few panty twisted entitled supporters amongst Spurs these days.

Performance was decent. Took over in the second half but lacked cutting edge against a well organised and hard working defence.

Verts has been rock solid recently. Another clean sheet.

All in all not the end of the world but we need to start winning these games.
