What did you want him to do, keep knocking it out to their defenders?

Find another horse to flog to death eh?
I agree Son should have gone off
Yes I agree.
Because of Covid, because of his age and injury history, and because of just the randomness of some of this stuff, do not be surprised if Harry Kane is harder to generate massive bids for than we think, and that's even leaving out the additional hurdle of Kane needing to agree to sign for another team.
You look at the fees for guys like Philippe Coutinho or Antoine Griezmann or Eden Hazard and you get the sense that a certain level of player is just a 100M pound note that can be cashed in on demand so long as their contract situation is right.
It is not so. Those deals reflect fairly random happenstances of circumstances, and also let's be honest, two extremely profligate clubs who have by all reporting run out of money.
He's absolutely right whatever you think of the man - we've been saying it all season, a centre midfield that is afraid of taking the ball, don't work for each other, create angles to receive the ball - the basics of football that a sunday league player should know.
Such a drab and gutless performance in a cup final AGAIN. Useless cunts.
He is fit his played as much as anyway. Watch his heat and you’ll probably find he covers more ground than winks. Winks was a total passenger who played in a 20 box just outside a pen area all game. Absolute shocking performance from him there is no defence for him playing g 90 minutes yday. Especially when last time he played he was just as bad and almost everyone here said they never wanted to see him in a spurs shirt again. Not just him but sissoko dier Doh and davies. Last 2 injured yday so mason couldn’t pick them but the rest especially winks and siss is 100% on mason. The worst thing is even jose would have played them!
Pretty much.
We are just embarrassing the club motto.
We are more scared of losing than we are attracted by winning.
Hasn’t that been the consensus for a while yet for some reason one of them played 90 minutes and one played almost 30 mins replacing one of our few creative players. Everyone keeps going on about rebuilds, lack of quality , Eriksen Dembele poch Jose. etc yet that has nothing to do with those two players still playing. The manger decided they should play in this one off game no one else. He took off Moura and goo replaced with bale and siss. Bale ok I get that but sissoko for gio surely lamela would have been a better option. At least he puts his foot in gets generally stuck in and creates havoc. They had 3 players on yellows I could image lamela doing a job.
Yep,
Doesn't take much to realise how we gifted them a cup title. That small clip is but one example of our midfield, as he states, not even wanting the ball. It really was comical at times.
Yes City are a great team, but we offered nothing.
I watched that on Twitter and Carragher did a great job of pointing out our issues, but I do disagree when he says it has nothing to do with Mason. He picked Winks for that role and then Carragher pointed out how terrible Winks was. But that is exactly how Winks plays all the time, it was not a surprise to Spurs fans.
Mason definitely deserves criticism for selecting Winks, as evidenced by Carraghers analysis.
We thought we got our spurs back with Jose sacking? We played more Jose ball than if the cunt was in charge. I’m just so surprised that mason after 6 days tried be tactical. Why didn’t he just tell to go out and play like we did 2nd soton. On the front foot well at least try to press higher, move the ball quicker and be more aggressive generally. I guess the line up basically gave it away o how we would play. Did bake talk himself out of a starting spot when he said we should play on the front foot bacause of the players we have. Plato g winks out paid to that howeve mason put bale on in 2nd half but he is no use if we are gonna sit so deep. Doesn’t make sense bake needs to play when we are pushed up and on the front foot when he can get on the ball. Complete waste of bringing him on with sissoko. No idea what mason was trying to achieve?
A fair analysis by Carra there, I can’t argue with it at all. It did improve in the second half, but not by much.
I never expected us to win, I just wanted us to show some guts and fight for it. We were cowards though. In the end the only reason we didn’t lose by more was because of how poor City’s finishing was.
Completely agree why try to play like jose when his gone. Mason tried to too clever. He should have just let the handbrake off and picked the most technical players. The starting 11 against Soton was good and we eventually started playing in the 2nd half so why not continue down that path. Mason could have just gone on and done a Harry give the players their confidence back and tell them not to be afraid to make mistakes. Build them up and rest for the challenge but instead we just stood off didn’t track runners and were basically 5 minutes behind in our heads compared to citeh. Added to that some players completely bottled challenged especially Son.
Defo they actually beat them scoring 2 goals against them one when down to 10 men.
100%. They'd rather a never-ending cycle of finishing a trophyless 4th over the odd FA Cup. Sick of them.
Why do i keep reading the name sarri mentioned as potentially our new boss? Bloke just smokes loads of fags and thats about it.
It’s gonna be Gary not Sarri. As in Gary Megson
This is a really long-winded way of saying Winks should not have played over Ndombele.
