The easy targets are there but that performance from Kulusevski was awful. He has been our player of the season but we needed him to turn up in a game like this.

Let’s be real: nothing will change at Spurs until Levy feels it financially. But the reality is, people will keep turning up, paying £80+ a ticket, no matter how frustrated they are. From a business perspective, he’s thriving—and that’s all that seems to matter.

Protests? They’re just small pockets of fans, easily ignored when the stadium is full and the money keeps rolling in. Until fans stop feeding the machine, Levy has no reason to prioritise trophies over profits.

It feels pointless because people will always show up.

Reminds me of the old saying "too good to go down".

Laugh at me all you want, aside from our regular starting centre backs, who was missing from Ange's usual starting eleven?

Levy should be worried.

Levy is the one going full money ball only signing kids hoping they turn into profitable players down the line.

Something has got to give. We are dropping like the titanic. In the grand scheme of things changing Ange won’t change anything at this club but we are in danger of relegation and I don’t think Ange is helping us. He’s got until the Everton match. Lose that and he’s got to go. I’m sorry but we should not be down there even with our injuries

It was better than I expected today, to be honest, but physically they absolutely bullied us.

Just showed the gap that we all know is there at the moment, but at least we stayed in it right to the end.

Not much more to say really other than it's a tough learning curve for Gray and Bergvall, who can both hold their heads up again.

I'm glad I'm working although my shift manager is a Gooner so no escape.

Great reading the threads but it sounds like nothing has changed when it comes to facing them which is gutless!

Glad I'm not seeing the gloating by Lego head and Gabriel they would be wanting to put my foot through the telly god I hate them 🤬 think we should only take the lead when there is 10 seconds left lol

How many of them players looked like they enjoyed playing for Spurs? A gloom is hanging over the club.

Just our standard away performance in the Derby. Limp.

We need some decent attackers desperately. The lack of technique and creativity is shocking.

Once again, the two kids the best players. Gray and Bergvall.
Our midfield (or the one that Ange tends to start with) is never balanced and midfields tend to control games. Does Ange even know his best midfield and his team coached them enough and well? The way Bergvall performed when playing deeper (perhaps not his best or favourite position) just showed up how poor Bissouma and Bentancur (post injury) have been, and how much Sarr needs to learn. Maddison is a luxury unless he's playing in a team that is dominating because he can't run or defend. Kulu is neither a true number 10 or a winger, looks knackered and keeps giving the ball away. I say keep Kinsky, Spence, Udogie, VDV, Gray, Sarr, Kulu and Solanke and get rid of the rest.

Unfortunately, Spence was actually quite a big problem, and was also at the weekend.

He can if forced to go forwards down the flank/on his left side be very effective, but he hates doing it. And so 99% of the time turns back or gives the ball back where it comes from. And then you get penned in or are massively under pressure. And for some reason he is seeing a ton of ball when he is struggling to progress it.

The last two games have been horrific in terms of building up from defence and midfield. Just passive and ultra go nowhere.

As for some of our senior players... Send pretty much all of them packing. I'm not seeing anyone in our squad to lose any sleep over if they depart tbh.

Kulu needs a rest. Early season, you cant knock him off ball. Now, even 18 year old with little experience is bullying him.

Give Porro a break, Ange has taken it as a personal affront that he hasn't been out with a hamstring injury yet, and will play him every game until he breaks down.
