*** OMT - Tottenham Hotspur VS Some Gauche Middle Eastern Oil Money ***

Why do people always jump to these minds of extremes?

Who is being a spoilt brat? We're not crappy midtable Tottenham anymore, we should be able to acquit ourselves better than this, regardless of how good the opposition is. West Ham and Brighton did better than we have against city today.
They also sat back with 10 men behind the ball. Perhaps Poch should have tried that as a tactic.
 
3-0. We deserve it. Down the right.

*AGAIN*.

Still, no Aurier. Still, Trippier will haplessly jog around. Maybe 4 coming.

Still no Aurier.

F*ck this.

Exactly, we like to talk like we’re one of the big boys, but as per usual have nothing to back it up...

Yes, perhaps he should. Considering you've said that the difference in resources makes a win impossible to contemplate, we can aim to be tight, defensive and just counter attack if we have a chance.

Doesn't seem like a terrible tactic to me away against better teams if we feel that we apparently cannot win?
 
It's difficult enough to play this team but when we have key players missing including 2 centre halves, it was going to be practically impossible. But we haven't given a good account of ourselves today.

Teams that win titles generally can field their best 11 week in week out. We have had too many long term injuries in the last 2 seasons to build momentum. Rose looks rusty and needs a run of games as does Lamela. Dembele has not looked himself this season. He's actually annoying me in most games with his petulance. We need some luck with injuries to achieve anything second half of season. Hopefully Big Vic can come back soon.

Why did you say 'Exactly'? The post you quoted said we are NOT crappy mid-table any more. We are one of the big boys, just growing into our new shoes. And chastening lessons like this are inevitable.

They’re on a run of now 16 wins. They’re streets ahead of us in terms of players and resources. They’re at home. I won’t be surprised to see them beat all sorts of records.

People posting “this is all on Poch” are talking brick. Trying to beat a team like this away, missing three strong characters in Toby, Vic and Sanchez, is nonsense.

I get being disappointed but to say the defeat is on the manager is crap.

Need to try something different in these games.
 
You have to think that Dele is more likely to move to Stoke than Real at the end of this season, given his performances to date.

This game shows where we really are - 10 players behind City, and that doesn’t include the benches. They are so far ahead of everyone in this league.
