Spurs 2018/19

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Well, fellas...I did promise that i wouldn’t hide if Spurs allowed Liverpool to win. So here I am to be shot at.

We had far more of the play but didn’t come close to making it count. Liverpool did very little beyond long balls. But it was enough, alas. A strangely tepid performance from Spurs made it enough.

Scant consolation but I was really surprised that there were as many Spurs inside the stadium as scousers. And we made far more noise. Hardly heard them at all until their second goal. Sadly, our team didn’t give us reason to outsing them even more. I can only offer my most heartfelt apologies to the footballing world for our collective failure to fulfill our solemn duty.

Fair play to you mate - I wish your players would have shown a shred of your bravery ;-)

Spurs results and performances without Kane at the tail end of last season was awful.
To say they play better without him just isn’t true - he’s the only one (bar Son) who can score for them.

What a bottle job by Poch. I wanted Tottenham to win but when I heard the team it was clear that they would lose. Why didn't he start Kane on the bench?

The decision diminished Son, Ali and Erikson. What a waste.

If kane was fit for the second leg against us I have no doubt we would got through! When kane plays spurs dont play as a team.

Disgraceful performance by Totteringham , completely bottled the game , the Dippers were well under par and there to be beaten and the irony of Spuds supporters moaning about a handball when they only got to the final because of a dodgy handball decision , you reap what you sow , Pochetino and his team let the whole nation down last night

If it was us playing and Sergio had been fit but Pep left him out and we lost then I imagine there would be a lot of criticism of Pep. If Poch had not played Kane and lost then he would be getting stick for that. I don't think he could leave Kane out but I'd have took him off after 50-60 mins.

Spuds has a bottling history but not this time though. Clearly he is their best player and if he was close to full fitness the logical thing was to start him in such an important match. Unfair to Moura but that's just how it works in football. Dipperpool are a stronger team they were going to win 9/10 times anyway.

Can't agree with that.......

He isn’t Sergio and will never be. We don’t play better without him, they do. Their play is so much more fluid without him in the team and they offer so much more going forward.

Their fans and the team knew it wasn’t the best decision and their performance was inhibited.

When you concede a stupid pen after what 30 secs or summat, the whether to play Kane debate goes out the window somewhat, wtf was Sissoko doing with his fcking arm. Anyway Poch won't be known as a top manager until he wins trophies.

Pochahontas is doing a very good job with the tools at his disposal. They're now established top four, which Arsenal used to celebrate like it was a trophy. Reaching a CL final is a great achievement as well. Maybe the chairman will give him some funds?
