We didn't play that way when we lost to themHow the fuck are we only two points ahead of united in 6th? We are miles better than them.

Calling me a retard says more about you than it does about me. You're a young Asian boy who watches too much American television. That doesn't excuse Miles Cadwallader and the 63 year old child Bazali
70 pages, a loss, the resident away fan trolls celebrating ( Jayc1 Etc) and not one binning! Have a look at yourself TFC. We are getting soft
That was poor, but not entirely unexpected. Our first choice XI may be the best in the league but our overall squad is thin and not title winning caliber.
Hey. That's all well and good. just pointing out your original point is a little flawed since Spurs clearly have the least amount of quality depth vs the the top sides. Or do you not grasp that ?
You were the one clamouring for 30m Sissoko ffs.If we finish outside the top 4 then yes we will probably lose our best players. Yet when we do make the top 4 we are unable, or more accurately unwilling, to attract the best players. It's the price we pay for putting profit before success I'm afraid. ( gets ready for pompey, leeds, wimbledon comparisons)
This is such bias nonsense, and you know it, I'm not even going to bother picking it apart.Happy Clappy brigade: "You can't win every game!"
Our away form 2016-17:
Played 17
Won 5
Drawn 7
Lost 5
Lost to Liverpool (League cup), Monaco, Chelsea, United and now Liverpool again.
1) That record isn't acceptable for a top 6 club, never mind a top 4 and especially not for a title challenger.
Chelsea: 14 away games, won 9
City: 20 away games, won 12
Woolwich: 18 away games, won 11
Liverpool: 17 away games, won 9
United: 17 away games, won 9
Please don't say "We can't win every game, you expect too much". I don't expect to win every game, but no one can say that our performance today and our away record this year is a positive.
2) A major worry is that our away form carries on into Wembley when we move there next season. We struggled in the Champions League there. The only thing propping our season up at the moment is our incredible home form - if we take away next season things could look pretty glum.
3) This causes us to be knocked out of many competitions, most notably Europe.
We got to Dortmund and lose 3-0 - knocked out of EL
We go to Fiorentina and lose 2-0 - knocked out of EL
We're not going to qualify from the CL, get far in the EL and it makes it very difficult for us to win an FA or League cup if you're only winning 1 third of your away games.
I don't expect us to win every away game, but our away form is a huge worry right now. It's regressed from last season. And before you cunt me off, saying I talk shit, before the game Poch said, “We are looking at that,” Pochettino said. “[We struggle at] top-six clubs because we have had some draws and some losses. It’s true that this is a good opportunity to change that stat.”
After the game Poch said that we will "Need to fight for top 6". Top 6. This speaks volumes and clearly shows he's worried about the top 4. Luckily many of our games left are home games.

Why do you even support Spurs? Honestly. You wallow in days like this like a pig in shit mincing around telling anyone who'll listen your skewed hysteria.
You enjoy us losing because it gives you your time to shine and tell us all how shit Spurs are. Saying stuff like ''this isn't top 6 acceptable''. Well, we're 2nd. So sit the fuck down.

Sometimes you two play so stupid it is incredible how you figure out how to breathe in and out each day.When poch says stuff like that they all play deaf & dumb.
Hahaha, I'm blaming the distractions involved in a holiday with a two year old.Comfortably the worst sentence you've ever committed to Vince. You've set such high standards.
Please up your game again.
The ability to tackle or intercept passes at speed and accurately play a pass to a teammate to re-set an attack, I would say, was a demonstration of high technical skill. Liverpool did that to us time and again in the first half until they were 2 up and then they cut out the riskier moves and passes - because they didn't have to.We are a very technically gifted side, one of the best in the league. Have you not seen us play this year and last? Do me a favour mate.
We were out fought, out muscled and out played today. They pressed us very well (just as we have done to other teams), they closed all our passing lanes. Many teams have tried to mix it with us and we have picked them apart and passed and played through their press. Today we were no where near. TODAY.
Call it for what it is, a shite performance. Please don't tell me to watch it again, I don't need to, I know what I saw, we were shit, they were very good.
There was very little technical quality on show from both sides. Nothing from us though, TODAY.
well that cost me a bob or two and i had to sit surrounded by fucking scousers and we didn't muster anything like a performance. not going off the deep end as i've never been happier than i am now with the team but fuck me that was woeful last night. bloody ages til the next league game as well.
You arrogant, ignorant arse.Maybe I do occasionally over react. But people disagreeing with this post ? Really? ...I suppose today's performance warrants a fucking party then does it?... you fucking sad losers.

It's the same team every week whether we sit back or go at teams tho. I thought we were reluctant to get at them and we only tried when it was 2-0.Sorry if I wasn't clear. I was basically saying that the players he put out and the instructions he gave were most likely designed to try to take the initiative. Problem is that we could also see the glaring problem we would have down the left hand side and the lack of physicality/defensive work rate of son and eriksen. So it looked to me like Liverpool stopped us even being able to launch meaningful attacks and resorted to playing it around in our own half under pressure.
It's all hindsight, but this isn't the first pressing team we've struggled against
Why are people constantly saying that we lost by playing our game?Our football principles worked well today.
I guess style is more important than 3pts. Shame.
