Playing with Werner & Johnson tonight was like playing with 9 men. AWOL all game. Had the kid really wanted that through ball, he'd have scored...

Bentancur and Kulu were awful too.

Players like Werner and Johnson need to be played in behind. The few times they were they looked dangerous.

Destiny, Deki, Bentancur and Porro just did a horrible job on the ball. Dreadful passing and ignoring easy passes in favour of silly shit.
 
Kulu was really off it tonight. Always taking an extra touch, always trying to turn a defender unnecessarily.

He had two crystal clear chances to play a quick ball through to Werner and we were behind.
 
Conte and Jose don't look too bad now. They made us competitive vs City.
They were awful managers for Spurs and we rode our luck massively against City when they were in charge. And it was only recently against City that we drew 3-3 away. With our first choice midfield tonight and Son we would have done much better
 
The goal was a foul but Vicario was weak. Ref was allowing Diaz to bump goalie at every corner, that should have been stopped but Spurs do get hostile refereeing.

It stopped a replay coz Tottenham were messing around with it at the back in the whole match!! That's why the corner happened for the goal.

Why didn't Spurs have a minder to prevent Diaz on fouling the keeper all the time?

EVERY team in the EPL will foul Vicario at EVERY corner now, Tottenham have to protect him.
 
It's got nothing to do with his frame. David Silva and Modric were extraordinary players despite weighing 5st between the two of them. Their hard work and desire made them boss the PL. Same with Bernardo Silva.

Johnson just doesn't give 100%.
I kinda mean both mentally and physically, but I do get your point regarding Modric ect
 
Another year, another shameful early exit. Yeah yeah yeah it was the treble winners and all that.
Nothing shameful about losing in the dying minutes against the most financially doped up, cheating football club in the history of football.

Plus we were missing Sarr, Bissouma, Son and for 75 minutes of the game, Maddison.
 
We need to be more direct with our passing. I've been saying it all season. Lightning quick frontline but you have to play with more risk to play inbehind. Too many touches or the safe pass option
 
Not why we lost today. Outnumbered every time, but kept the ball and got into good positions.

Six goals in last seven before this one, he'll do fine when we get our players back
You're right it wasnt Richarlisons fault we're out but he isnt the sort of striker thats going to conjure up a bit of magic out of nowhere to win you the game and thats what we need if we want to be serious. Clearly its not going to be Kane level but we need to be looking for another Berbatov or Sheringham.
 
Everybody whining that we've been dumped out of the FA Cup by an 'oil doped' club to somehow justify yet another trophyless season .....
Remember. We were dumped out of the other cup competition at the FIRST hurdle by Fulham.
Whoever the manager. Whoever the opposition.... .We just don't win trophies with ENIC
 
Kulu was really off it tonight. Always taking an extra touch, always trying to turn a defender unnecessarily.

He looked slow as though he was carrying an injury
