It's times like this that I think we really miss someone like Vini - a presence up top to occupy defenders. At the moment the Morecambe defence are having it really easy.

Have to be honest and although Conte's comments regarding the squad not being good enough are popular with the fans, it must damage the confidence of the players. Everyone knows these rotation players aren't good enough but at the moment we still have to use them, no point making them even worse. If I was the manager i'd publicly back them until we can upgrade on them and I reckon Klopp or Pep would probably do the same.
Up to them to prove everyone wrong though, no?

No-one else can do it for them.

Not watching because I've chosen to actually enjoy my Sunday but I've just been informed of the score and have to admit that it is quite funny. If this was any other club it would be hilarious.

My home town team giving a good account of themselves.
Regardless of their league position a first team that plays regularly together will always look more fluid than a makeshift second string. Add to that this is a cup final to them and That’s a recipe for a cup upset.

We have a desperate shortage of goals in our squad.

Unbelievable that this so called "B Team" group of players can never ever get the job done.

This is exactly what happens when you put out a team that has never played together before. The effort and desire is there. The cohesion and partnerships aren't.

I thought Sess was our best player that half.

They are grown men not 12 yr old girls, the whole of the country knows who the frauds are, not just spurs fans, no more wrapping up in cotton wool, out the door with them, if it's at a loss it's the fault of our recruitment process that had us sign them in the first place.

Players scared to try stuff against Morcambe...

If i was Conte i would send out the same team and say "you've got 45 minutes so save your Spurs career. and if you don't want to be here tell me now and and you can end it now"
It's already embarrassing, but if we have to send on a cavalry against this lot then it gets much worse.

You can blame Paratici for that. Instead of a striker, he chased Adama Traore. And failed. Then signed nobody.

Is Gil playing on the left?
He’s playing as a second striker, up top with Dele. His movement off the ball is really good, gets himself into good pockets and has had some nice touches. Doesn’t look like anyone else on the pitch is close to being on the same wavelength as him.

Midfield 3 of Lo Celso, winks and Ndombele can’t dominate a league 1 struggler. There is absolutely no injection of pace or quality in the side at all.

Gil, Sess, and Davies are showing effort.

The rest of them couldn't care less.

It'll take so many years to sell all of these which is the worst part.

Levy will demand stupid prices for average players, so they'll just end up staying around.

entire squad at the moment is truly awful - first team are not much better... desperate for new faces. Criminal we have no forward anywhere to play upfront in a game - one off maybe but its gone on far too long.
