Its not like he lost deliberately FFS!
He put a team out able to be winning comfortably at half time. When the team started to fold he made changes to try and pull things back around.
What is he supposed to have done that is so bad?
The most frustrating aspect of this pitiful defeat is that we were three games away from a trip to Wembley. How often does that happen? Not only for us fans, but also the players and staff. Who knows when we'll next get a chance to play on that sacred turf?
It doesn't excuse poor touches - he hasn't been nearly good enough. Although I don't know just how good a player would join a club in Spurs's position when we have Kane. He's probably about as good as we can expect for a player who knows he'll barely get a start. He also (reportedly) cost significantly less than half a Sissoko.Sorry but I dont see how that excuses his poor control, you certainly wouldnt cut such slack if Sissoko demonstrated some of his touches
He's knocked off the ball because quote often, defenders (especially West Ham types) are stronger than he is.and its not just when its been 'hoofed' up to him. Also doesnt excuse how easily he's knocked off the ball....
His attitude to the fixture before the game would have filtered through to the players just as they do when he speaks positively.
He is a manager of course and these things happen but I'm sure he is finding this less acceptable more than me, considering the way the game panned out.
And yet look how well the first half went.
Had we a stinker in the first half and a better second it would ring true, there were complacent, he put a rocket up them...
Thats now how it was though is it?
Quite. We were winning comfortably in second gear, got caught out and then could NOT raise our game.
If ever a team and their fans was galvanised by a goal, yesterday was it. Maybe if we had filled the available 50,000 capacity and out-noised their fans it might have been different. But 1000s of fans voted with their feet and the majority of those of us who were there (including myself if I'm honest) either could not or did not want to be bothered to raise enough noise to inspire our own team and urge them on.
So it could be argued we got what we deserved. That's how I see it anyway.
Cant argue about the competition be a waste of space.
Still expected a much better second half showing from the players available.
I thought the first half was poor, just they were atrocious
Was like a pre season.
Maybe so but yesterday showed just how much fans can have an impact on what goes on the pitch. Once they'd scored the Spammers responded to their fans by raising their game out of all recognition.Cant argue about the competition be a waste of space.

When given anonymity, players tend to state that fans don't affect them positively or negatively. It's just a game everyone plays to give us a warm fuzzy feeling and keep our wallets open.Maybe so but yesterday showed just how much fans can have an impact on what goes on the pitch.

Sadly our fans did not really respond likewise except in fits and starts.
Players are only human. It may well have had a bearing.
