Well I predicted a Spurs win by the odd goal so got that bit right least.

Should have been more but a win is a win.

The three season wonder got lucky again.
You have a fine team. But we didnt help ourselves by hiding behind the couch and setting up for a draw.

Men against boys rather than a clash of equals today.

Congratulations, you deserved your win.
 
That was simply dreadful. I left with 10 to go and have jus got back to Marylebone and was stunned to see the final score! I couldn't see us scoring, let alone twice.

We were outplayed and outclassed all over the park. Only Barkley came away with any credit for my money. I still think we're miles off in terms of the top 6.

How Koeman allowed Barry to stay on the pitch - let alone start - for so long is baffling. And then there's Funes Mori.....dear God he is woeful in possession. Spurs sussed is out after 10-15 so allowed him to be the only outlet option when Robles or the back line had the ball. Once he got it, he inevitably looked long and missed by a country mile.

I think Baines has gone. We desperately need a CB, CF, GK and LB. probably a better RB, too. If we don't upgrade in those positions we'll never move on and we risk losing the quality in the areas where we do have it.

Such a blow that, today. A genuine test after a decent run of form and results, and one that showed us up yet again,

Or it could just be that I'm an unlucky omen....


Nothing like a defeat to bring us back down to earth. But, why travel all that way, the expense, the time, whole day eaten up................and leave 10 minutes early because you can't see us scoring. Surely, you know how this game works by now. I just don't get it.

Come back when he has 5 seasons of at least double figures league goals like Lukaku mate. Then you can start putting him into the top draw category, alongside your Lukaku's/Aguero's etc of this world.

I dont normally sack it off, but that was utterly dreadful to watch and I couldn't be doing with the scrum at Severn Sisters as they announced the overground was suspended due to an incident.
 
Barry can't start a game anymore - He can come on to close out the last 10 minutes where he can keep up with tired legs, but that's it.

Baines also needs to be replaced. Still amongst the best left backs, technically, but a yard off the pace, and not strong enough to compete in the Premier League these days.

Have been a big fan of Mori, but today he had a shocker. I like him, but if we are to push on we need an upgrade.

Joel, however, I think needs time and confidence. I'd still keep him in the starting XI until next January at the earliest.

Coleman and Gueye were below their standards, but I'm not worried about these. Expect better next week.

We have to be brave enough to starts these games with Lookman or Mirallas on the pitch. They deserve that trust the way we have performed since December.

Barkley was very good today. Possibly the best player on the pitch. Lukaku took his chance well.

Not all doom and gloom, we scored 2 at White Hart Lane, where they had only conceded 6 this season. We lost by 1 goal away to the team in second. Big game next week against West Brom, especially if 7th gets Europa League (as it looks like it will).

Only time we where in the game is before the first goal mate, thought you'd started showing signs of being frustrated - but then we switched off badly and well that was that - after that you controlled the game totally, only time we got back into it was after youd switched off twice thinking game over.

Worst performance from us since Chelsea - couple of our lads showed why they shouldnt be starting for a team with the ambition we have, Mori - worst centre back showing i can remember, Williams - constantly switching off - a player with his limitations on speed and size needs to be 100% at it every minute or else he will get exposed (most of the time he is - today he had one of those days), out of the lot of them only, Barkley and Coleman came out with much better than a meh performance really.

Best players for you by a mile btw are Dembele and Walker - both absolutely top quality and well Kane just scores which is what you want from your striker

Alli is such a bad diver though
 
Sorry if others have already covered this point ( just got back in from watching the game with my son-in-law) but I put that performance at Koeman's door.

I have always been a supporter of Barry but he should never have started this match. Not just because he is too slow these days, but because it affected the whole mind-set of the team.

We started with a defensive outlook and couldn't get on the front foot until Spurs got complacent, but look how easily we got 2 goals back. I genuinely think we are as good as them when we show up with an attacking outlook. We gifted them this game by being overly cautious.
 
The positive I take from todays game is that the fit blonde at work is back in tomorrow after 2 weeks in Spain, so she'll have a nice tan.
