Can anyone tell me what our offensive philosophy is at the moment?
Or perhaps be critical of the performance and letting a 2 nil lead slip again.
But no Mr Happy has to put a spin on it, Mr Happy needs to be positive
But what about Ndombele...? HE was a Summer signing... we SIGNED someone... he was the missing link wasn't he?
This time last year we were crying out for us to sign someone, anyone... and now we have... but none of them have really played, except NDombele... who wasn't great tonight... but at least he was a signing!
The obsession with the transfer window being the answer really does play into the hands of SSN...
you can't sign mentality... or the ability to learn from mistakes... you can only sign players! Which we have now.
Be more Zen.
It's working for me.

Stay very still... see if the opponent falls asleep. If he doesn't, pass it backwards
It wasn't quite as bad as that, at least we had the ball some of this game.
Well, apart from the 5 minutes just before the half hour, I found most of this evening's game pretty offensive if that's what you mean??
It's a lazy generic term which is way past its sell-by date.
I hate it and those that use it especially when it's said by Spurs fans.
I tell you what will make it better... Lets all cry and wet our knickers.. oh wait.....
can you service my motorbike though?
Get the ball forward ASAP no matter the opposition defensive line and hope some of them make an error
We are definitely starting to let that "spursy" behaviour creep back in, the Woolwich game and this were almost identical in that regard, the Palace game was the spurs we have known over the last few seasons, the ruthless spurs, we need more of that and less of the former.
Kane looks fucking depressed.
Man Utd are dumb enough to give us 100 mill for him. Pogba out Dele in. One overrated player for another. Classic Woodward
Garbage performance. Why start Sanchez and Davies as wingbacks? Every time we pass out wide to them they literally offered nothing.
Dele was extremely selfish on his one on one, Kane was open for a tap in. We played like a team that wasn’t interested and we thought we could turn up and just get the job done, we took a 2-0 lead undeservedly and I’m not even surprised by the score line. Pretty embarrassing stuff but considering how bad we have been for 15 or so games now, I’m not surprised at all. Our last 14 away games we won twice, drawn three time and lost nine times.
We have a mini crisis at the club at the moment, the CL run was great and has masked a lot of problems imo. Some of the guys who are playing regular minutes seem to be not interested at the moment and Poch as much as I love him, his tactics and line ups have been putrid at times lately. Hopefully we turn it around ASAP because we all know what this group could be capable of but we’re not a shadow of our former selves.

No movement. Predictable play, no real creativity and passion, just the same type of play over and over. Lethargic, slow with the ball and slow passing giving the opposition time to get set, not stretching them. Square peg in round whole at RB. fullbacks defending so narrow. Players like Dele have regressed, there is no doubt about it. Remember when it was scary how good he was?
All these things are old problems, they've been around for more than a year. It's painful to watch. I don't understand why we don't see these problems and fix them. I think the tactics are leading our talented players to under perform, it constrains their creativity and stops them developing.
It was only a draw, away from home. We reached a CL final last season and are a regular top four team but I can't help but think a change is needed, that we're just not going anywhere good now. Am I the only one?
