Our players are so inferior. There is literally not one that would start for Spurs. Therein lies the problem.
You mean the same players who would all make a combined derby XI of an all Everton midfield and mostly Everton backline and goalkeeper?
The quicker people stop overhyping our players the better. The problem is we are so desperate as a fan base to be part of the “big six” that we big up a player who puts in literally a few games of good performances and start making bold claims like “they’d walk into a top 6 side”. It’s happened with Pickford. It’s happened with Gomes. Sigurdsson. Digne. Richarlison.. it goes on and on. Sigurdsson is probably the biggest offender. A few decent games and his thread on this forum is full of “SEE SEE LAST SEASON WASN’T HIS FAULT”. So an entire season’s worth of performances means nothing but a few games of note cements him as a top level player? Fantastic logic. I mean he only failed at the team who walloped us today, but he’s for sure a big six player.. SMH.
Until we actually accomplish something tangible the expectation levels need to be grounded in reality. We have a playing squad that has accomplished nothing and a manager a few months into the job who has convinced nobody. We crave being part of the elite but somehow expect us to be a part of it overnight. It’s ludicrous. We’re miles off and it’s just ridiculous that only after results like today’s do people realise it.
