I still struggle to see how Kane is supposedly England's top striker currently.
No penalty no party. Quite happy in the end they lost. They need to be less cocky.
..and the trophies. (@GlastonSpur)
Seriously, the Spurs lads have so much energy. Feck me, but they never stop.
Kane invisible today, no wonder I have doubts about him. Seems to play well when everything goes well, otherwise not much else..

Lots of possession without really threatening.
Poch is like LvG.

With Danny Rose in the team I hope you lose every game.
Said it multiple times but levy fecked up big time in the summer, their squad is nowhere near good enough. Everton have better depth than Spurs and that is embarrassing for a team with CL football.
They blew their best chance of a title last season. It might be a while until that happens again.
I think we aren't great ourselves but Spurs have evidently regressed.

Hehe
They are such an irritating team to play against, fouling all over the place and then going down like pussies at the first sign of contact.
Squad is not great, signings in summer were meh. And Kane is not on Costa's level... or Agueros
But Jamie says he's great and a much better player than Ibra...
The same genius pundits think John Stones is a quality centre back. Completely clueless.
Nail on the head.
They're like that kid at school that fecks with people and constantly annoys them but the moment they get a taste of their own medicine they go crying to the headteacher.
England>World
We all love to laugh at spurs, but I don't really get the hate for rose? He plays tough and likes a challenge but they are never (or rarely, at least) ugly. The challenge on Mhki was a standard yellow card challenge where his body unluckily landed on Mhkis foot.
All wumming aside, I can't believe nearly 24% of pollers thought they would. It's like they don't watch football or something.
Finished 3rd in a 2 horse race so will finish ...... in a 6 horse race?
Really hate this Spurs team , they look like bunch of rich kid that that's never get scolded by their parents so they think they can do anything they want, so they play dirty whenever their plan did not work , Aguero would have fit this side perfectly
Our poor form continues, we really can't find any momentum so far this season and that was as poor as we've been today.
I'm confused as to where our tempo and especially aggression has gone from last season. Whatever the reasons we need to get that aggression back sooner rather than later, we pussyfooted around today virtually just going through the motions.
Poch needs to tell one or two of these some home truths and let them know what is and isn't acceptable.

Hope he brought his binoculars so he could view the beast Herrera in his natural habitat whilst sat on the bench.
I think you've still got a major problem up top. Janssen signing hasn't worked and your whole game is dependent on Kane.
You did make attempts at being physically imposing today, it's just that we were up to it. Pogba, Zlatan and Valencia were especially great in dealing with your muscle and aggression.
The tempo is a concern, you couldn't move quickly in the final third. It also may be a confidence issue. Did Wanyama try to head across goal when he was clean through?
I'm tempted to tag a certain Spurs fan to gloat, but I'll refrain till we end up above you guys in the table.
Spurs have rather a nasty side to them which only shows up when they are desperate which is exactly why their challenge fell apart last season.
I'm not talking about aggression in being physically imposing, I'm talking about our whole approach to games.
I wouldn't be gloating though, you are currently like us in having little to gloat about. Neither of us look good enough, it's been a frustrating 4 or 5 months for us and I'm sure you feel the same.
What does Alli do? Is he out of form?
I think they are a nasty side. Used to not mind Spurs, but the more I see them play now I detest them. If they want to play like that then they have to stop acting like little pussies when it happens back to them.
Also forgot to mention that although they have some good players, they also have quite a few who seem to rely almost exclusively on their athleticism, namely their fullbacks. Those two seem to have very little intelligence between them.
Are you saying we were nasty today? I sincerely hope not, we were very at peace with the world as the game gently passed by.
Diving and moaning are his specialties.
How good would you say Pogba is? He's very athletic but his brain seems to tick over very slowly, he's definitely not in the top echelon of midfield players, he's not intelligent enough.
You should watch us play more often.
Dembele and Alli > Pogba right @GlastonSpur ?
I think a problem for Spurs this season is they don't really have that game changer in their attack. Kane is a good finisher yes, but in terms of someone giving them that x-factor or whatever. Arsenal have Sanchez/Ozil. City have Aguero/De Bruyne. Liverpool have Coutinho. United have Mkhitaryan/Martial/Ibra/Pogba. Chelsea have Hazard and Costa. Players that can make something happen out of nothing and make a chance out of nothing to get results consistently. Every team needs them to take that next step and Spurs just lack that in their side. Son is probably the closest thing too it, but he is inconsistent generally and not really on the same level. The rest are basically all players that fit well in the system, but it's very much system oriented, with nobody being outside of that system and being able to do something different.
Well he offered more than Alli today so depends how you rate him?
Not really sure you've seen him that much as he's very creative. He can look cumbersome but that's just his style. We are a much better side with him in it and that's all that really matters to me.
At 23 he has a fantastic future.
Very poor performance from both teams imo and probably could easily have been a draw. Disappointing defeat. Either team will be very fortunate to get anywhere near top 4 this season.
Really? I thought we were worth a more handsome victory. Spurs only had one chance of note whilst we really should have got a second.
Spoken like a true sore loser. We were deserving winners and for most of the game we weren't very poor at all.
