What has Jose said post match, I switched off.
That's not true. Of course he could have been better, but 0? That's an overreaction. Try blaming the manager for not having a proper structure for the attackers to flourish in.He didn’t try at all. Never seen such a half-arsed performance ever in my lifetime. It was a not-arsed performance.
They recruited City's medical department?Depressing. Outfought, outthought and outclassed in every department. Spurs didn't even need to hit top gear to humiliate us.
Why should he be good in a position that isn't his position? Thats mental. We should play to his strengths and stop trying to make him into a player he's not, it's a total waste.Is anyone else a bit pissed off with Paul Pogba for not being effective in a midfield two? I just don't think it's acceptable.
It's like a bus driver saying he can only drive a diesel bus not an electric one. Or he can't drive coaches on a motorway journey very well.
I can't think of many world class midfield players who have only 1 effective position. Ozil maybe.
It’s coz he’s new and ran around a bit. Which is a lot more than any other player did.Not really sure where Sanchez MotM comes from.
It is pretty simple, Mourinho has only played football one way, that is defensive way. He has no idea how to set-up a team for attack. Atleast not against top teams. In last 2 years Mourinho has worst record against top 6 teams. Worse then Spurs and Arsenal.You missed my edit;
I don't support the idea of replacing him, but he really needs to re-evaluate his style of football.
And yes, why is it everytime Mourinho has to either park the bus and sacrifice good attacking play in order to win. And at certain times when he does play an attacking side, it's either the midfield or defence that lacks.
We ain't going to be successful when we going for a PL title or a CL title until he gets it right.
Don't think he's come out yet.What has Jose said post match, I switched off.
I think Chelsea last season in Chelsea was worst.For sheer apathy, I think it has to be.
Mourinho is being criticised for his approach, but even he must’ve been quietly stunned by how amateurish we were.
Yeah, he tried. There were quite a few who tried. It was like the pitch was tilted like the Titanic, only we played uphill both halves. Very motivated Spurs, means more to them than us, etc etc. But still disappointing. Hopefully their hectic spell coming up grinds them into the ground. And hopefully we come back with a bang next game. I am not too pessimistic, hopefully someone has (some very well chosen words) with PP.Not really sure where Sanchez MotM comes from.
Can't argue with that based on their performances tonight. You could see that neither Jones nor Smalling wanted the ball. At one stage in the 2nd half I recall Matic charging back to take it off them as they were so reluctant to play a forward pass, unacceptable for defenders at this level.Allowing our Centre Backs to have the ball at their feet as they are pub team standard with it.
I don't get the negativity. The first 8-9 seconds were fine.
They recruited City's medical department?
Admittedly, I can’t remember much of that, aside from another early goal!I think Chelsea last season in Chelsea was worst.
Young 3.....thats 2 too manyDe Gea - 6
Valencia - 4
Jones - 1
Smalling - 1
Young - 3
Matic - 3
Pogba - 1
Lingard - 3
Sanchez - 4
Martial - 0
Lukaku - 1
Aye. There's not much a manager can do when the players cannot do basic things right. His tactics were wrong also, but similar to the Chelsea game last year the start killed us.For sheer apathy, I think it has to be.

More like one bad game from Martial and people can’t criticise the golden boy. He’s been good recently but that absolute garbage today was unacceptable. He needs to play with more throttle. I agree that 0 is harsh when others were just as bad but nobody was as bad as Martial in that second half.That's not true. Of course he could have been better, but 0? That's an overreaction. Try blaming the manager for not having a proper structure for the attackers to flourish in.
One bad game from Martial and people can't wait to jump all over him.
It's central midfield not left back. I don't think it's unfair to expect a supposedly world class player to be able to put in a shift in more than 1 formation.Why should he be good in a position that isn't his position? Thats mental. We should play to his strengths and stop trying to make him into a player he's not, it's a total waste.
Drugs joke.
He's never been at his best there, I don't see why he should have to do a job that makes him ineffective, just because its close to the area he works best. It's infuriating seeing the Pogba at Juve, and even for us, having to play in a position that wastes his best attributes. It's fine against rubbish teams, but against quality opposition, it's suicide.It's central midfield not left back. I don't think it's unfair to expect a supposedly world class player to be able to put in a shift in more than 1 formation.
Probably votes from all the delusional ones that thought we'd destroy Spurs before the game because "we've got Sanchez now".Not really sure where Sanchez MotM comes from.
The thing is I didn't even think this was a particularly high energy performance by Spurs. We were too lethargic for that.Drugs joke.
Felli injured, big mistake at the beggining, whole team. Did not say anything shocking.What has Jose said post match, I switched off.
Martial has been OKish in January against pretty poor opposition. Now again , just like Pogba, against decent opposition he was very very poor. It was like playing with 9 men with those two on the pitch. We should sell them both to Madrid for £200m and reinvest in a decent right winger and two CMs.More like one bad game from Martial and people can’t criticise the golden boy.
