There is not one fan that I’ve spoken to that can understand where the high press has gone from our best season ffs. Is this down to injuries?? City and Liverpool do it. We pretty much started the trend in the prem then have totally just fucked it off. Why? Fucking why? Why stop a winning formula? Poch is trying to be too clever and he is gonna lose everything. Maybe a new manager will mean Toby and Eriksen will sign up. Nothing lasts forever. I can’t see him putting things right, it’s been a good 6 months in the league now.

THIS!!! we were playing the hi-octane game and attacking football which made us so potent. What has happened to our aggressive press which brought us our foundational success! We’ve succumbed to AVB sideways laborious tripe

Lol - arsenal literally got spanked by BM similar score a few years ago.

The result is from everything Bayern hitting being immaculate (that rearly happens) and Poch going for it at 4-2.

Not how I and many others saw it we gave them the opportunities and they took them. As I said Big teams do not lose 7-2 at home.

The question should be. Are the players not doing as they are asked cause they've lost faith? or because they haven't a Scooby on what they're supposed to be doing?

Cause if it's the latter Poch is on very thin ice.

We were dogshit, I'm not saying we weren't. But Bayern were also unbelievably clinical. Here's what the xG map was at halftime:

So we gave up ~1.5 xG in the second half, which is reflective of really poor defending. But any time a team outscores its xG by five it requires a rare bit of clinical finishing. I know everyone's understandably upset about the result but that kneejerk emotion shouldn't cloud our judgment as to the quality of Bayern's finishing.
They were clinical, but we made it easy for them. They could hardly miss in the second half.

So glad I didnt go tonight.

Why? First half was some of the most thrilling football I’ve ever seen us play. We were slicing through Bayern like a hot knife through butter. Atmosphere was electric.

Yes we collapsed second half but support is about dealing with the shit too.

I think it's hard for us to know for sure but to me it looks like the latter has probably led to the former.
It's all speculation really but the only thing we can be certain of is that something's seriously wrong at the club right now.

Hate sitting in the west stand. Four people out of the 200 or so around me were singing. South and north singing come on your spurs nice and loud, silence in the west but everyone woth their phones out filming it. If you’re going to film it then at least contribute to an atmosphere so you’ve got something to film

I’m almost glad they chose this game to come to for their plastic fan day out, bunch of pricks

That was probably the worst defensive performance I’ve seen from 37 years of going to the Lane. Simply shameful at the end. Things much change- they can’t continue like this.

Anyone know why people were fighting at the bottom of the South at 5-2?

Live 9 miles from the stadium took 2 and a bit hours to get there in this shit weather. First half we looked decent, even at 2-1 you're thinking we look dangerous.

All goes to shit at 4-1, Poch made the wrong decision in my opinion at 4-2 and we just got picked off.

Embarassing, but I dont think its as big a deal as some are making out. Good result on Saturday, decent break, 2 home games to bounce back and all will be well. 7-2 defeat at home thats just how we roll ☹

So then lads, how long will it be before Maureen arrives? More or less than 48 hours?
I cant wait for the total capitulation under Mourinho in a few months. I will laugh at everyone on here. Anyone who thinks anything will be better under Mourinho must have been living under a rock for the last 3 years.

Sorry why do we want them to sign new deals?? It's time to move on and build a new back four.
Yeah, that's kinda what I'm saying in response to someone saying that if Poch goes Toby and Jan would sign. I'm saying why would we want to establish that chelsea precedent here? And even if we did desire to be that type of club are they worth it?

I know he's been making mistakes for a while now, but I really don't want Poch to go. I just want him to sort this mess out and take us back to our old playing style.

Kovac didn't change anything of significance. The only difference in the game was that they buried half chances and shots outside the box and we flubbed great chances to score.

It’s not quite as simple as that but you’re right the score line is more a reflection of some incredible clinical finishing by Bayern, some poor finishing by us, and that fact that Ndombele isn’t fit enough yet and Aurier and Rose were shown up second half.

But heads and professionalism dropped in the end and that’s really concerning.

Do you think it's a real possibility then? I said it somewhat tongue-in-cheek because Mourinho likes to spend his way to trophies. Not exactly our modus operandi.

Watching on tv tonight one thing I absolutely hated when I saw it - after our first goal they showed a slo-mo of a section of the crowd celebrating - at least 50% of the ****s there had their phones out filming either the pitch or them-fucking-selves.

And I'm not talking random Koreans or kids - these were blokes in their 20's and 30's - what you'd expect to be proper hardcore fans, and all half of them wanted was social media attention.

I absolutely cannot stand it. Social media has ruined football crowds.
