I have booked flights and hotel for going over to watch the games vs olympiacos and Bournemouth, but I think I'll cancel. I'm not spending £1000 to watch this brick!
How many tickets?

Levy has now got an international break to find a new manager.
I do hope him and the board have a shortlist already, and have had one for a while.
Agree, and I know everyone will be focusing on how bad we were and rightly so. But have to say, Brighton looked really good regardless. Even if we was on form they would have given us a decent test....I posted during the match, but I wanted to reiterate.
Have a look at how Brighton played.
They were more like proper Spurs than we have been in I dont know how long.
Composed, compact, aggressive, attacking... It was like watching a Poch side.
And really bought home to me just how badly we have been playing, and for how long.
I thought it was terrible for the entire first half. We were second best for 45 minutes. No defensive shape and no attacking threat at all. That was 3 times worse than any of our performances with the diamond midfield.I am very happy Poch went 4231(ish), and for a fair part of the half I thought it was a much much better shape for us than the diamond has ever been. Broadly happier than I was on Tuesday in the first half, in so much as we werent run into the ground, the shape allowed us bodies always around the ball and a compactness.

The more I think about it the more I’m not convinced they will do anything about Poch regardless for now. 30m is a lot to pay off a manager, and we all know what Levy’s like. Also there are clearly issues with players wanting to leave. The club could well take the opinion that we have a brighter future if we get rid of the problem players and keep Poch to build a new team. There certainly isn’t any reason to rush into sacking Poch this season, it won’t kill the club if we don’t get CL for one season - we are way ahead of targets in terms of growing the club. And there is no guarantees whoever takes over will drastically change our fortunes with the same players who will still want out. Of course if our form continues to be so bad we are genuinely getting concerned about relegation (as ridiculous as that sounds the way we are looking it’s not beyond the realms of possibility) then drastic action will have to be taken. But I’m not convinced Levy will bite the bullet just yet....I do hope him and the board have a shortlist already, and have had one for a while.

Significantly worse I’d say.Is this a worse display than Bayern?
Massively worseSignificantly worse I’d say.
I think you’re right there about Dier at least.... as it is surely impossible for a player to play any worse than he did today...He still been brick though - and this is peak Sissoko.
At least the others can improve.

I think it is very true. He wanted certain players out, the chairman has to find a way to make that happen via lower transfer fees or perhaps giving the player a pay off.“The club have let Mauricio down..”
I really like Jeans but that is just untrue.
What's deluded? The guy took Tottenham Hotspur to the effing Champions League Final (something I never imagined in a billion years I'd get to see) and was rightly lauded as our best manager since Bill Nic. Now, he loses a few games (including a really bad defeat to Bayern, granted) at the beginning of the season, and fans and media are calling for his head? If anyone's deluded, those people are; not Poch.
10 passers?Sissoko was the reason we didn't buy a good midfielder a year ago and a year before that. He's why Poch has been playing this air raid nonsense. He's why we play each match with 10 passers.
None of that is his fault, but it's all because of him.
We've all seen him play significantly better when match fit.I think you’re right there about Dier at least.... as it is surely impossible for a player to play any worse than he did today...
