All joking aside...that was a seriously shite game...
What did you make of the new signings today?I assume you are neither South Stand ST holder or an away travel supporter.
True it was, no excuses, but it until the ridiculous red card farce it looked like we might win an ugly 3 points, which would have been precious. I'd have been content wth that, all things consideredAll joking aside...that was a seriously shite game...
Because Son was the instigator of the injury? Lloris just landed awkwardly.
I once saw some guy have a heart attack after playing squash: nothing to do with me whatsoever and also total by-product of the sport. Shook me up for weeks afterwards.
Now, if he’d been playing me when that had happened? I get why Son is so devestated: I also get why the club might not appeal the card - some things ARE more important...
It was accidental... which is what made the Red even worse... it insinuated that it was deliberate... which it wasn't...Son wasn’t the instigator? If anything Aurier was and if anything Gomes hurt himself
Yeah so when you were laying into the people you now agree with, it was ok because the game was today?We didn’t play yesterday. Keep trying to win the internet.

hes probably been tapped, just after semi final win champions league, it went pear shaped soon after, heres the options, 1 hes lost his mind, 2 he cant manage any more like before when he was good, lost dressing room and players,, 3 he wants the sack, he wont leave, without his money, and hes picking weak teams on purpose, to force levys hand.When the manager isn't putting his players in a position to succeed, it's hard to be angry with them. 10 out of the 11 today looked like they were trying, but once again, it didn't seem like there was a game plan.
Go out and run. Make something happen.
Our goal was a gift, zero creation.
Why Dier or Winks weren't brought on for Eriksen as soon as we went down a man is beyond me.
Poch talks about protecting new and younger players, but throws Sess on with 1 minute left in a very odd and hostile game? For what?
I'm not sure what happened to Poch, but he's not the same person or manager from 2 seasons ago
The damage was done in last season 2 TWs.What did you make of the new signings today?
Oh no wait that’s right.
Ndombele, our best players was taken off after an hour.
Lo Celso got half an hour and Sessegnon got one minute.
I’ll ask you again 18 months when they are ready to play a whole game
Not Poch camp in at all but.....Regardless of all else that happened today (and that's quite a lot) can someone from the "Poch In" camp please explain to me (without insult or wit) one thing please.
What was the rationale (from both a tactical and player motivating point of view) in putting Ryan Sessegnon onto the pitch to replace Eriksen after a game that had lasted 101 minutes in total and had just sixty seconds remaining
He barely contributed today, doesn’t hold the ball up and takes a lot away from Son’s game.
What do you think of Pochs use of the new signings today?The damage was done in last season 2 TWs.
I have no idea why they built the new stadium for.
Why would you assume that?I assume you are neither South Stand ST holder or an away travel supporter.
NFLI have no idea why they built the new stadium for.
You are quite something. Everyone agrees that this was a shocking performance. Literally no argument. Bit you’re still trying to be obnoxious. I really pity you at times. We’re all Spurs. No need to constantly rant and act like a dick.Yeah so when you were laying into the people you now agree with, it was ok because the game was today?
What?
Win the internet? I’m not hardcore enough....enjoy your 7 hour drive
it was just him and son doing anything, alli and eriksen did fuck all, oh yes alli scored gift, but what else, they are both passengers, so moura and son had to work harder.Also.. people who have been crying for Lucas have seen today why he isn’t trusted.

Great squad player, but isn’t good enough for our strongest 11.
