Agree until you mentioned Trippier
As Robbie Keane said at HT Trippier had to close Robertson down before he had tried to cross it but no he just stood off and let him but you’re right Firmino should have been picked up

All players either with significant (or very recent) injuries, or not good enough...or some combination of both. And the same can be said for the summer before with the same bunch.
And now we will come to this summer where we are in the same position of having not good enough and injury prone MFs. should we not bolster the ranks again this summer? Or has the exceedingly obvious fact become so obvious that even you recognize you will look the fool for arguing against it?

- the Spurs UBER fan who was slating fellow Spurs fans few days ago for not understanding our club now thinks we should have done major business in January eventhough 1) we never have 2)you can never sign quality without overpaying massively. Embarrassing scenes
Didn’t stop every cunt spend the whole month slagging off Levy did it
If Lloris makes a simple catch this is a draw. Let’s not make this out as more than that.
Burnley, Chelsea, Woolwich and Southampton we were poor for long stretches and looked tactically bereft of ideas. Today that was not the case. We more or less dominated the entire second half and more than held our own for long stretches of the first.
Everyone chalked this off a loss before the game, so some of the reactions here seem a bit dishonest.

I have a feeling that Sissoko is going to get hammered hard in any ratings thread thatbus-conductor might start.
You could be right and Trippier will get a perfect ten!!
But I’ve explained to you that I don’t think we should have signed in the summer and why.
I know you understand this so why are you pretending you don’t
3 CBs and we allow Firmino that much space? It's just piss poor by really talented footballers. They seem so casual which, unfortunately means a few of them aren't good enough to play for a top team.
A dozen or so mistakes at least this season, that's no coincidence and it can't be trusted going into next season. Poch was right, maybe a few members of this team have reached their peak. Got to shift them before the good ones get itchy feet. Got to do what's best for Spurs

And your point is?
We should have re-inforced last summer, not in January. Would you have taken Grealish or Barclay or Shelvey or any of the midfielders we were linked with last summer over today's starting midfield? Eriksen and/or Sissoko as the defensive screen?
We had ROSE playing in midfield today, wandering around losing the ball.
Just think about it. Our first choice LWB playing at being a midfielder.
It's self explanatory. Back to home back to WHL, back to chick king. If this doesn't work nothing will.
We wanted players in January, the manager said it himself.
I 100% believe the Dembele sale with no replacement was an utter fiasco and we should have gone all out for a DM.
A striker or forward was also a must.
I’m glad everyone has suddenly revised their positions from January and they now are calm and sympathetic towards Levy and fully understand why the club did what it did. Haha
I can go back to the January Transfer Thread and pull out your comments that would show that you are talking absolute bollocks now though if you want.
I don’t remember anyone saying “we shouldn’t sign anyone this window”.....fucking hilarious.
You were even agreeing with me that we needed a striker ffs
Oh fuck off you stupid prick. Fucking different when you want to cunt off Trippier everyweek isn’t it.
He didn’t just miss a sitter, he was fucking shit all game. Lloris saw more ball than the useless cunt first half.
Hes fucking shit.
I agree. Starting at the top down.
1 point from 15, including losses to the likes of Burnley and Southampton at the business end of the season is simply unacceptable,.
Just as hoping to wing it on the cheap by not signing a single fucking player for two successive transfer windows is also unacceptable.
The whole ethos of the club, from the boardroom to the attitude on the pitch is rotten and needs to change.
As fans we cant expect to have a winning mentality within the team when no such desire is shown by the heirarchy of the club.
My point is that you look a right cunt if you spent 4 weeks demanding Levy’s head for not signing a DM in January, and then in March you say “it’s impossible to sign players in January”
At last a decent match report but a bit harsh on Sissoko
Agree. Everyone is too comfortable.
Only when Dembele played. Remember the Liverpool game where we were 'so good'? It was longball OVER the MF. Dembele destroyed other MF players. It was credit to him and no one else. You are trying to generalize it to the whole MF.
Yes, we bought Vic but many thought we still needed new MF players. Perhaps the idea of recruiting players from a position of strength eludes you but to some that is the way you build a squad. And who was Vic's competition? And who was Dembele's? Surely, you see that bringing quality players for those positions would be addressing and improving the MF, no?
Some keenly astute observers felt that Dembele could be 'improved' upon by getting a more rounded MF that would bring some passing distribution in along with similar ball retention qualities. Many even called for someone like Kongdogbia in the January window. Perhaps an alternative to him would have extending his time with us.
Others use 'meh' in attempting to be haughtily and pitifully dismissive of arguments they can't refute while calling anything they disagree with 'revisionist bollocks' without considering alternative approaches that they are unable to conjure.
I know which camp I was in. Oh, and I never talk bollocks. If it comes out of my mouth it has been considered...unless I'm just trying to goad
