The thing is I don't think it was individual performances today. It was collective problem that really came from tracking back and following runs. The first goal they had 7 players in the box to our 7, ofcourse you stand a chance of conceding. The second one they had 5 to our 6 and third and 3 against 4 in the third goal. We were not tracking players, and this was the issue. First goal Son and bergwijn, second goal Sissoko and also Lo Celso, marking god knows what. Third goal, again Moura marking who knows what. And that's just the people who got back. There were also CB mistakes but they were not given any support. We couldn't deal with them loading the box for the crosses and every goal was conceded because of this.Looking objectively though, that equaliser and a deserved red card for Norwood would obviously have had a massive impact on the outcome of the match.
But second half started shit and got progressively worse with some truly unacceptable off the ball decision making and diabolical individual defensive performances.
Stick a fork in us, we're done for 2020....
First half that was largely cause our forward line have awful decision making, we got into loads of good positions but whether it's Sissoko not knowing what to do, Lucas running across the player with the ball or Son over complicating things we managed to fluff it up. United would have been comfortably 2-0 up at HT."That Kane goal was their only shot of the second half, and only one of two on target in the entire game. "
Disgraceful
Maybe becoming a toxic mess is what we need to finally get rid of ENIC for this club to finally, truly move forward and become a top club. Because we certainly will not get there with these owners.Some of you on here still think Mourinho is going to be our saviour? The man is a dinosaur and it will end up being toxic mess
That's the problem. He ain't getting no financial support.We can't afford to pay Jose to leave. Levy needs to back him wholeheartedly. We need much better quality. We have some names but a lot of them not good enough.
I completely agree about the attacking 3 deployed today. No real guile or creativity there. Who was supposed to be the supply? Then we had no pace to bring on if it was required. Big mistake by Jose with that.
Sadly the players all thought they'd made it and Poch's methods/tactics were no longer worthy of players of their stature and now they look what they are; a group of average players with glaring flaws. And barely a football brain between them.It was a job that 2 men tried. Both world class managers. The squad is simply not good enough.
This squad is finished! Whenever a decision goes against us, we sulk and capitulate! Will need £300/400 million to sort this shower of shite out! And a forward thinking manager, kinda feels like the whole santini/Jol appointment (head coach is well known, whilst the assistant is the younger future manager (think Sacramento takes over after Jose) and I’m fast losing patience with Jose!... all lies with levy though!
Not a lot. We could sack him but what difference would that make in the long term, not much. It doesn't matter who's in charge, he'll only be hamstrung by ego, transfer policy and outright tightness. There's only one constant in this whole sad scenario and it beggars belief that he still gets such an easy ride. The urgent change isn't the manager. I'm starting to lean toward a change of owner and philosophy, but at the same time being careful what I wish for.
Remember when the media would say "who are spurs mean to buy? They have quality in every position". Levy and Poch fell for it.

Don’t blame them, we’re an embarrassmentAll gone quiet on they only want to talk about Liverpool brigade
Possibly the worst post I’ve ever read on SC.
One of several things ,but yes an overidding view that he isnt cut out for the premiership and is only able to be effective within a 10 yard area due to the fact thats as far as his fat arse can take him.
What was really disappointing was that after the crap decision there was no sense of indignation, we didn’t say “right, fuck your, you’re getting it now” and kick on. We just did sweet FA
These players are finished:
Vorm
Toby
Jan
Rose
These players needs to get sold:
Aurier
Lucas
Foyth (I like him)
