Gazzaniga 4 - should have been out at ings is feet to make the chance harder
Aurier 5 - done nothing wrong but that cross at the end oh wow bad
Toby 3 - awful all game couldn’t deal with ings or anybody else running at him
Vertonghen 0 - it’s the end can see why poch didn’t fancy him at the start of the season
Sessegeon 3 - championship level at best
Sissoko 2 - couldn’t control a brick not alone a football or a midfield
N’dombele 5 - brilliant when he was on then had a few kicks and decided he didn’t fancy it on a wet rainy day on the south coast
Lo celso 4 - he tried and tried but well he’s just got nothing to pass to it give too!
Eriksen 3 - well what else do you expect other than a 90 minute jog around the pitch?
Moura 2 - living off his 3 good displays a season awful offered 0 protection for Sessegeon at left back and failed to track every runner
Alli 2 - he tried and tried but sometimes he just out tries himself and starts with the silly flicks
Kane 2 - again another awful performance where he just sulked around bednarek has him in his pocket all game long!
Lamela 3 - he tried when he came on but quickly realised his team mates are all hiding from the ball so then took his chance at losing the ball roulette
Jose - 0 - didn’t do nothing in fact it felt like he was just leaving players out to dry to show the fans give them a message.
jesus christ we're just SO BAD. It's SO FUCKING FRUSTRATING TO WATCH. the next pass if worse than the previous. there is no plan whatsoever.. holy shit i gotta take a break from watching our games, it just makes me angry jesus fucking christ. happy new year folks
Not even once did we manage to string 3 consecutive forward passes. I kept count and didnt get any.
Simple passes couldnt be executed. First touch bounced of their feet. Took too long to decide what to do. And players not opening up space for a teammate to pass.
Pathetic, miserable bunch of losers these lot are.
Everyone can go fcuk themselves out of this club. Yes everyone.
And if Levy does not take out his cheque book in January and buy at least 3 quality players, then he can go fcuk himself out of this club as well.
Need a massive squad rebuild - that was utterly appalling. Genuinely don't think we put together a decent string of play the entire game.
Worst offenders: Lucas (whose second touch was a tackle more often than not), Alli (who spent the entire game trying to flick it on to nobody) and Vertonghen, whose legs look increasingly gone.
Need some stability in midfield, another pair of fullbacks and at the very least a decent winger. Won't happen though.
Gazza 6 - Needs to learn to kick with his left foot. Aurier 5 - Not good enough. His cross in the last minute shows just how crap he is. Toby 4 - Sloppy. Under hit passes all day and weak defending. Looked old and slow. Verts 4 - Languid body language from the off, under hit passes, constantly beaten in challenges. When he and Toby pass so slowly between each other it kills any move at the outset. On th elast few performances I'd be letting him leave in the summer. Sessegnon 6 - Did not try and make anything happen on the left flank. Looked like a kid in a man's game. Needs to take these chan=es by going for it a bit more. Watch videos of Bale and not KWP! Sissoko 5 - Why don’t we just play him at RB as that is where he spends most of his time. When he was in midfield he tended to play it safe and pass back to one of the CBs rather than turning and trying to create something. Eriksen 5 - How many corners can he mess up before he is told not to take them any more? Players have worked out that he will not tackle them so when he presses them they know they have as much time as they need however close he gets. It is really pathetic. Given he’s off I’d rather he was not selected for the match day squads now. Would rather Skip or Parrot got in the squad at his expense. Ndombele 6 - Shame he got injured as once he went off we had no one who could play football out on the pitch. He needs to man up pretty quickly or he will be of little use though. Moura 5 - At least he tries. Always jumps for headers. Always contests 50-50s (albeit usually due to his own poor touch). I think he is an impact sub at best as when ever he starts he does very little. Dele 2 - Did not contest headers. Or 50-50s. Was never ready to receive the ball and always flat footed. Passing was poor. Lack of urgency in possession. Generally one of the worst performances I have seen from a Spurs player in a very long time. Should have been hooked at HT. Kane 4 - A shadow of his former self. Still looks unfit. Watching Ings run our CBs ragged made me realise just how bad Kane has been in terms of effort in running the channels for the team (and just how bad our defenders are).
Lo Celso 6 Lamela 7 (for effort alone)
Mourinho - 4 - After 30 mins it was obvious Dele was having a total mare. He basically had no clue as to how to change a match we were never really in. His poor squad management over the tight festive schedule resulted in a hamstring injury for Kane, and a lacklustre performance from Dele. If he really thinks we do not need new players we are in for a very, very long (and crap) season.
Whole Team Collectively - 3 - Out fought and out played by Norwich and Southampton in the space of a few days. Embarrassing. No fight. No pride. No desire. They deserve a week in an army camp crawling under barbed wire through freezing, water filled trenches.
None deserved. Another contender for ‘worst performance I’ve seen in a while...’ and it’s abysmal how many times we’ve said that in the past year.
Terrible watching this squad and how it’s been left to stagnate. The work for Jose and, I pray, his new director of football, will take a long time. I didn’t think he was the right man before, and I still don’t, but we’re stuck with him now, and need to ride the rest of this season out and then start to let him build his team. Either way, it gets worse before it gets better.
I’d give them all a 4. Maybe a 3 for Eriksen and Alli.
Aurier 4 - terrible going forward and stupid yellow card.
Toby 3 - cannot defend one on one's anymore. Poor passing.
Vertonghen 3 - see Toby
Sessegeon 4 - did absolutely nothing going forward, poor crossing.
Sissoko 4 - Didn't contribute enough, seems scared to make himself available for the ball.
N’Dombele 7 - Great until he got injured.
Lo Celso 4 - very disappointing.
Eriksen 3 - 2019 Eriksen trademark game.
Moura 2 - Lost the ball every single time. Waste of space and should've been subbed at half time.
Alli 2 - See Moura
Kane 2 - doesn't look like he cares again and lately is in offside position way too much. Two goals disallowed two games a row because of that. He needs a rest anyway so maybe the injury will do him some good and hopefully make him miss playing so much it motivates him again.
Lamela 3 - tried but nothing came off for him.
Jose - 0 - Poch levels of match management here and hasn't been able to change one single problem that we had under Poch. Defending still comical, lack of movement and accurate passing, no plan with the ball. There is no excuse for this shower of shit.
The team has lost its soul. Its energy, its will to survive. At this level every player has to be alert and up for it. Unfortunately we have too many who want something different, can't be bothered and believe they are better than they actually are. The 'team' has gone and individuals have taken over. That includes Jose. I fear our future.
