Spurs??Anyone know who got knocked out of Bake-Off ?
We didn't lose 7-2 because of Dele, Eriksen, Lamela or whoever. We lost because we are a club in crisis. The sooner sorted is the better.
I agree with you, team selection and tactics were way off.
I haven't watched the highlights but I think all 4 goals scored by Gnarby were from right side of our defence. You don't need a brain surgeon to identify short coming of that few days ago.
They may have a plan for you, waitOne positive: none of the Gooners at work have come over and taunted me about being tonked by Bayern...
Kane, Dele, Eriksen, Dier, Wanyama, Son, Jan, Toby, Lloris, Rose and Lamela would have walked into any top 4 team three years ago.What is he meant to do with a squad like this?
Funnily enough at 1-1 I was thinking "we have some really good players here".Kane, Dele, Eriksen, Dier, Wanyama, Son, Jan, Toby, Lloris, Rose and Lamela would have walked into any top 4 team three years ago.
A squad like this? CL finalists?
Its time people realise we got there in spite, not because of Pochettino
I won't feel sorry for any manager or player in the PL. He is on £8m a year for doing something he enjoys as a hobby with massive benefits. Plus any decent would have resigned, when not happy with signings....etc.I feel sorry for Poch. What is he meant to do with a squad like this? Won't be surprised if he walks.

I got it as soon as I walked in ;-(One positive: none of the Gooners at work have come over and taunted me about being tonked by Bayern...
The drop in performance of Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Dier, Rose and Eriksen in that time, the change in formation that doesn't suit players and of course injuries have all played a major factor.Kane, Dele, Eriksen, Dier, Wanyama, Son, Jan, Toby, Lloris, Rose and Lamela would have walked into any top 4 team three years ago.

That's like saying that you would be happier to ride to work on a donkey because your cars running rough and needs a service.
You'd give away one of the most sought after managers on the planet and take a punt at - go on then, who?
Something big is wrong, and it needs sorting out, but getting rid of the guy who can do it isnt the answer.
Levy needs to show why he gets the big bucks and sort this shit out and he needs to do it quickly.
My guess is that shifting the want away players, getting in a decent central defender that can drive the team and dumping the dross will be better than sacking the one person who has the skillset to fix it.
At 1-1, they WERE good players... even at 1-2 at HT out wasn't the end of the world...Funnily enough at 1-1 I was thinking "we have some really good players here".
Lots of people here forget Bayern is a very strong team. If you are not focused they will punish you severely. Still I am convinced Spurs will teach the group stage, with or without Pocchetino. Two wins and a draw in the next four games will be enough.
Bayern are a very strong team but still not an excuse for collapsing and conceding 7 goals. I think we will go through but Red Star will be no pushover.Lots of people here forget Bayern is a very strong team. If you are not focused they will punish you severely.

Even better, dock their wages. If we have to pay a good chunk of our weekly wages to sit and watch that, then make them watch it back and dock a large chunk of their wages for the privilege too so they can see how that performance made us feel.What a shower, and I'm not just referring to the weather.
You know that things are terribly wrong, when even I can see that tactically, we were on a hiding to nothing in the second half.
I would make the whole team - players and coaching staff - sit down and watch that game at least three times, they then might not put us through any thing like that again!
Shameful display, and if that doesn't give them a kick up the backside, bin the lot of them and play the youth team!

Hopefully it is the wake up call that is greatly needed.What a shower, and I'm not just referring to the weather.
