The problem is Sissoko cant play quick forward passes and Winks is very hit and miss at it. If they are not on it then the front 4 cant get in the game
World class forwards and goalie, great defence, but pathetic CM. Laughable.

GLC to come on? We need a spark? Eriksen too, as much as it pains me to say it.

I don’t get what is wrong with us. But it’s bad at the moment.

I know we look shit but some of these comments are apocalyptic. We're missing Alli, Lo Celso, Eriksen and Ndombele - that's probably our 4 most creative players. Poch deserves some criticism for the line up but I don't think we're suddenly a terrible team.
Lol stop it mate, just stop.

We are the antidote for any team without a win, a keeper who needs a clean sheet or a forward who needs a goal. Told a Geordie friend of mine to put a bet on 1-0 at the half with Joelinton to score the goal. So predictable.

All joking aside, this is yet another slow start and Poch needs to take a look at how his team starts. Solve the problem beforehand and not look at the iPad after the fact.

I know Sanchez is getting the stick for the goal, but why is Lloris not taking him through the player over his shoulder. Rose too. That goal up the middle from a diagonal ball is becoming our Achilles Heel.

75% for us looks a whole lot different to how 75% possession looks for City and Liverpool.

We'll probably still win it. Eriksen and Lo Celso on early for Winks and Lamela. This is just the standard Spurs first half performance

We miss Dele today. Eriksen/Lo Celso will change it though. Still think we’ll win but so frustrating how hard we make it for ourselves

Slow, poor movement off the ball, can't see any kind of game plan, Kane dropping deeper and deeper, best defender and playmaker sitting on the bench. WTF?

Manager trying to send messages to Verts and Eriksen will cost us points. Those two in the lineup and this game would be done and dusted.

Think it's something like 75% of our matches this calendar year where we haven't scored in the first half.

There is sometimes an insignificant difference between principled and stupid. Pochettino is clarifying for us all where that line goes.

Not the first time we’ve witnessed a first half like that though!
You're right but that's why we were all crying out for new creative players. Without them on the pitch it's hardly a surprise we're struggling.

Hopefully Poch doesn't fuck around and makes the changes early - we need Eriksen and/or Lo Celso on the pitch ASAP.

Man what the fuck. Lamela is terrible, there's no real creativity or quality breaking the lines. Eriksen and Lo Celso on

For the first time since he's been at the club, I'm starting to wonder whether Poch has the answers to drag us out of this malaise.
