Young was pressing high. That's okay. He told Pogba to cover, and Pogba didn't. Lazy jog with no attempt to stop the cross. And watch Smalling, he didn't even look behind to see if someone was going through.

Why is Young pressing when their defender is playing a long pass up-field? Since when is that the left full-back's job to put pressure on defenders? Pointless pressure that left us exposed. Just because he points to someone else to do his job doesn't absolve him of blame.

As for Smalling, I've no problem with any complaints about him, he's an absolute donkey.

Again, Young's doing nothing. One attacker in the box and he marks the invisible man ten yards from Kane...

He's a nothing player. Can't defend, offers nothing any bog-standard winger can't going forward. I'd sooner Luke Shaw play after eating an entire pizza 10 minutes before the match

We're being outplayed by a team that couldn't get a kick in against City on this same ground

Annihilate Now! · Apr 21, 2018

We're not winning any 50/50s

KomodoBadger · Apr 21, 2018

I swear to god, if we don’t get back from this...

mitchmouse · Apr 21, 2018

the answer is 4-4-2. need to out-man them in midfield

Drifter · Apr 21, 2018

At the moment a case of a well drilled team versus a bunch of individuals.

Irrational. · Apr 21, 2018

Eriksen is ripping us to shreds.

This is so frustrating.

Gazautd18 · Apr 21, 2018

Getting carved apart here.

GiddyUp · Apr 21, 2018

fecking hell

Random Task · Apr 21, 2018

We are being completely dominated in midfield.

Kapardin · Apr 21, 2018

I'd prefer Smalling and Lindelof or Bailly, or Jones and Bailly. No matter how good Jones or Smalling can be individually, they never seem to work well together for us.

KingMinger22 · Apr 21, 2018

Talent-wise in the current 11s, I think most objective observers would say Spurs edge it.

ha_rooney · Apr 21, 2018

Just like the league game, it’s far too easy for them to get into our final third

Amar__ · Apr 21, 2018

Our fullbacks are just terrible. Whoever suggests we should do anything else before upgrading our fullbacks needs to have their heads checked. Literally championship quality fullbacks.

Ødegaard · Apr 21, 2018

I do hope we start to press as a team soon, looks ineffective to press one and one with so much distance between the pressing-point and the defensive-line.

Calm down. They destroyed us at their place too so this is not surprising so far. Let's see if we can get some luck or random individual brilliance to help us.

No reply of the handball in the box...

it is not OK

Mister_Stubbs · Apr 21, 2018

Make a change Jose, this isn’t fecking working and isn’t about to start either. Do it now before it’s to late.

DonFerguson · Apr 21, 2018

Tactically, this is a disaster. They're over running us in the middle and they have runners everywhere.

Carry on, and this won't be pretty. Time for adjustments.

BluesJr · Apr 21, 2018

These performances are exactly why people are so concerned with the management of the team. This is ridiculous.

Let’s hope for a City 2nd half style turnaround, hopefully earlier.

Marcky411 · Apr 21, 2018

Same as last time we played them, we are pathetic

Captain Obvious · Apr 21, 2018

Do Tottenham have any other songs other than spurs go marching in

100 · Apr 21, 2018

Same as the last game. Too deep to help Lukaku. Too high and we leave loads of space. This is the one game where id drop Lukaku for one of Martial/Rashford. Nothing sticks.

Jones playing a simple pass behind Smalling so he is automatically under pressure.

If I was coach I'd fine any player that didn't play the ball in front of and into the path of their team mate.

That always annoys me too. The difference and options a pass ahead of a player gives is huge.... so simple too.

kps88 · Apr 21, 2018

Sanchez Pogba left side is a mess.

Jazz · Apr 21, 2018

Well, we've got loads of time so as long as we don't concede another one, we just need to stay calm.

Bojan11 · Apr 21, 2018

We lose every 50/50. We such a weak team.

RedDevil@84 · Apr 21, 2018

Be ashamed Valencia. Be ashamed. Captain.
Just leaving alli like that for 1st goal

sanchez and pogba, the supposed wordlies are anonymous.. unless they are giving the ball away.

iam_kramer · Apr 21, 2018

Well, safe to say spurs are on top. We've got to ride it out and hopefully be a threat. We're struggling at the minute in all areas.

Turnip · Apr 21, 2018

cnut.

RonaldoVII · Apr 21, 2018

Jones looks to be up for it at least.

Better that time from Valencia
