Big Ed saves a fourth.

When's the next international break.....

[stevefromdonny]

It's like watching kids no urgency at all, it's coming up to 70 mins and no idea what to do, liverpool will bugger us once and then do it again

[nottsblue]

When's the next international break.....

When we are scrapping for the Wenger Cup

[Mase]

Need to get a grip on cunts like Dias going to fuckin music award shows while he’s injured and Doku doing interviews with Amazon. Get fit, start playing well and then do what you want.

[nottsblue]

KDB coming on.
At 3-0 down with 30 minutes to go.

What’s the fucking point. Should have started

[john@staustell]

There's Foden

I hadn't realised he was still playing

[nottsblue]

There's Foden

I hadn't realised he was still playing

Most of the XI aren’t

One of our worst players this season

[Indianablue]

18 mins for KDB and perhaps Grealish. He's been warming up for 15 mins he'll be fucked. Game management non existent from Pep and his mates.
I can see Spuds getting another

[ayrshireblue]

The level of finishing from Haaland is very poor. He scores lots of goals but should be on double what he scores as he misses loads. Today he must have missed 4 chances that should have been goals. The rest of his game means he can only be judged on goals as he contributes very little at other times.

[PeterParker]

As much as we blame the players, god knows I did, the truth is we've been found out and the blame is on the manager and his strategy this season.

And we failed to find an alternative. If you ask me, we failed to even try.
We are a one sided team, an exceptional one, but nevertheless, a one sided team with a simple plan that anyone knows.

This is how you earn your money.
We've made monumental tactical and transfer decisions the past year and a half that finally have caught up to us.

[nottsblue]

Is something happening after the game? Honestly gobsmacked at the lack of fans leaving especially for an evening game

[Mase]

Mahrez gone - Doku, Savio brought in and not on his level
Laporte gone - Akanji not on his level

Nunez, Phillips, Gomez not even top half of Prem level and brought in.

Either back Pep in the transfer window or just don’t sign anyone and play kids that are no worse than the players we’re paying £50m for

[blues2win]

We bought Dias for Laporte and he’s done well. We were overly reliant on Rodri and didn’t address this. Phillips? LMAO. Kovacic is decent but not good enough. Pep can shuffle around his midfielders all he likes but that’s the fundamental problem.

Agreed. Our performances have been slipping for a while and teams have found us out. Wasn't a difficult plan to copy, and we have steadfastly refused to change. Personally I'm sick of our possession based style and knocking it around for hours without an end product. Spurs fully deserve this result. Look at our stats at shooting on target, fucking woeful

4th? Questionable. If we have Savinho stealing 72 minutes, we are in deep trouble. Gundogan, done. Walker, FFS. No creativity, scoring an issue, can't defend for shit with a back four that changes every game. 4th? Unlikely.

[stevefromdonny]

I hope they all will have to watch this game back and feel crap,watch all the mistakes at defending passing and everything else

[Mase]

We bought Dias for Laporte and he’s done well.

Dias played 3 years with Laporte.

What a fuking shambles
