Well, where to even start with that one...
Firstly I think we have to say some of Bayerns football was breathtaking at times and I honestly think if they were playing any other Premier League team bar Liverpool they would have scored 3 or 4 goals as well.
Looking at our deficiencies though(and there are many), I think it's beginning to look like it boils down to the fact we are simply incapable as a team to play the style of play the manager wants anymore, through a combination of a lack of quality/ability in certain areas and some players just not putting in the effort they once did.
Looking at our back four, Serge was his erattic self, and Jan and Rose looked like two players who are past their sell by date.
In midfield, I've said this before and I'll say it again, we are going absolutely nowhere with Winks anchoring as the last line between midfield and defense. He is so out of his depth/out of position it is actually scandalous, and it baffles me that he is continuously picked there. Perhaps we have no one else, but I honestly don't see how Dier could be any worse.
Up front we are crippled by a lack of width as a result of full backs who are incapable of providing it and Son quite obviously being told to stay central as the first presser.
I honestly don't know where we go from here. I'm confident in saying getting rid of the manager is not the road to go. This type situation has happened countless times to managers at Tottenham over the last decade. For once I'd like to see what happens if the manager is the one who stays, and it's not up to some new bloke to rejig the team and cut the Deadwood. But are the current ownership capable/willing to do this? I dont know.
