Because we aren't particularly good.Why did we fall completely apart when They got a man sent of and we scored?

But tactically it’s a set up that we have okayed all season with him as one of the coaches rightI can understand the stick stellini is getting but it wasnt Stellini who got sent off and it wasnt Stellini tinkling around with the ball and inviting them on to us
The players need to take responsibility on the pitch.
Levy did or does even.
Oh I agree he is brainless but that goal wasn’t because of our defenceRomero was singlehandedly responsible for most of the pressure against us, and most of their chances! His lingering on the ball, waiting, and waiting until there is no viable outball is shocking! He's totally brainless!
Problem is that our players don't have the composure nor the overview to do so at a consistant level. I get that playing the most marked man all over the pitch is the Tottenham way, but at the back it invites pressure and breeds insecurity. Where we would be without Kane this season I'd rather not think about.To be fair, I actually think it is a key part of Conte/Stellini’s tactics to try and play it out from the back under pressure - we’ve done it constantly under them.
Stellini just said he thought we pressed them well 11 v 10. That’s worrying.
The subs were fine to be honest in principle, Lenglet was walking a tight rope, already gave a foul away after the yellow so the choice was to drop to a 4 which we haven’t really practiced or play this season or play Sanchez who didn’t really do anything wrong. Also needed to try to pressure their defenders who were pushing forward and Moura is a workhorse, albeit no end product but high press is usually his forte.
neither those excuse the 11 players on the pitch, Lloris who I don’t blame for the goal as that was a worldie and went like a rocket, constantly put our defence under pressure making them drop back until even Holjberg was in the defensive 5 to open up a pass lane. Peresic offered nothing when we were no longer attacking, Dier/Romero and Skipp struggled to find a 5 yard pass and take the sting out giving the ball away time and time again. Kane dropped right back (thus the need for Moura) so no outlet at top. The only one who didn’t really disappoint was Porro although needs to shoot less from dumb angles
Can’t do that when you have players who can’t control a ballWe shouldn't need to press
We should be controlling the ball and game.
Let then chase the ball down

I'm not talking about the goal, but the other 95 minutes!Oh I agree he is brainless but that goal wasn’t because of our defence
It was a lack of bodies pressing in midfield
Sarr is not PL ready at this point. He has the margin to grow, needs a PL loan DESPERATELY if we can find a team that wants him. Has to go through what Skipp went through, minimum of 2 years. Can't talk about Danjuma as we haven't seen him all that much.Bring on sarr for son
Bring on Danjuma for son
They are better subs than what we did
We brought on players who are allergic to a football
SanchezCan you think of a more jittery player to bring on away from home while the team is lacking confidence and shape, replacing a player who's played well and can at least control a football and make a pass? Snachez didn't close the shot just swayed out the way.
Bringing on Sarr was the only sub that made sense we were swamped in midfield and they shot and shored from the middle of pitch right outside our box. Football 101. Shaky situation, protecting a lead - pack the middle. We left it exposed and weakened our defense.
The thing is with new managers, they are learning. They see training pitch Sanchez. Whereas we know he isn't commanding or confident in a hostile game like that. Stalini won't make that mistake again. But even playing Sanchez in midfield we'd have won. Take off Lenglet, get compact and put a wall up in front of the defence.

Take one more look at it and see Sanchez pos on the shot, his outside the block sone, and he dont move out on the shooter… its been like this all year! We defend 4-5 meters from the attacking player… fck it! The worst this is that Everton bloddy desirved it with the hard work for 96 min..Oh I agree he is brainless but that goal wasn’t because of our defence

Vinicius had plenty of bad seasons at Madrid. If you would have asked any manager 9 months ago who would he pick, Son or Vinicius, most would pick Sonny. Agree with Modric, we need that type of a player to change our ways. That is were the game changer is. We need a commanding and tall CB next to Romero(VVD type of player) if we are to play with 2 CBs.Modric and Vinicius maybe….
He's played in the CL and done well. He was the only one available in midfield that has a decent touch and pass to give some control of the gameSarr is not PL ready at this point.

Keane marched forward about 15 metres in contestedTake one more look at it and see Sanchez pos on the shot, his outside the block sone, and he dont move out on the shooter… its been like this all year!
