The latterI missed today, anyone able to give me a sensible, brief synopsis of what went wrong? Were we massively outplayed, unlucky, robbed by the ref, just plain shit?
Thanks

Agreed, I said the following after the Luton game.:How do you press, particularly counter press, when you've got 8 players well in front of the ball and then lose it?
If we're going to play possession football, we need to slow down the build up, have some players behind the ball, pin teams back and learn how to play through in tight spaces.
We're playing shit football, deliberately.We're fluffing so many easy passes. Either a yard short or a yard behind where it needs to be. Biss makes a pass then walks a few yards, no interest in finding space for a return. When we do get possession, we try to get too many players forward too soon, we end up with our midfield and attack all in front of the ball, and our CBs in possession, trying to pick a through ball. Luton, and most other teams, try to keep the ball infront of or level with their players as they move forward, so there's always someone behind the ball to run past it. Simple tactics that we don't do.
I don’t think their keeper was ever in camera shot. Absolutely disgraceful performance. Are they leaving all of their energy on the training field? So lethargic. This is a 43 game season for gods sake. There should be bundles of energy left in them.
The early season euphoria kind of masked over the fact that losing maybe our greatest ever player at a time when he was still the best striker in the world might be a problem. But we had become too reliant on him, and these are the teething problems that happen when you've spent years building around your best player and basically nothing else.Losing Kane has been an unmitigated disaster.
- Massive personality
- Fan favourite
- Creative
- Lethal finisher
- Offensively and Defensively aerially dominant
- Team player
Kane impacted the team at both ends of the pitch.
We’ve to date failed to replace all of the areas he once influenced. The fact that we’ve failed to even attempt to replace his goals is criminal
I’ve not seen replays but can anyone else let me know why we didn’t get a penalty today for Bentancur being kicked in the shoulder ?

I would imagine that he isn't looking for anyone at the moment although this might be wishful thinking amongst some on here.I hope Ange can evolve as a manager but it wouldn't surprise me if Levy is already looking for a new manager that can play more than one system, someone that can implement in game changes as required. I wonder if the top 3 were playing this way how they would be doing. We moan a lot but each game seems like a rinse repeat.
Getting kicked in the shoulder is preferable to a kick in the box.Outside the box
Genuinely this is AVB-Ball
A long ball with enough space to play it can cut through any team.Many bemoaning our lack of plan B.
But is our plan A working in the first place? We are as open as ever. One long ball cuts us like knive through melting butter..

I’ve been saying this at every home game for a while. It is AVB mk 2. Neutrals call it entertaining football, personally it bores me to tears. I really want Ange to succeed but I just can’t understand the stubbornness in football now. When did it all become about ‘philosophies’ and ‘our football’. What’s wrong with mixing things up when it’s not going your way.Genuinely this is AVB-Ball.
How are you even a Spurs fan still after all these years, if you give up after a few bad results?I’m back to the stage of just looking out for the result when the game is over rather than put myself through the pain of watching us. I thought that would stop after Conte left but looks like it’s back we really are a shambles.
