Our midfield is shocking though mate. Yes we will win games but go on a decent run with a midfield lacking athleticism, physicality or creativity? I don't think so.

But if we scored them early chances then it's a different ball game, Form is a funny thing and when you lose 3 or 4 games you start to panic, You could see when spurs scored with their first attempt the whole feel of the game changed,

One Big result is all we need and the Champions League game in midweek could be the start and then Liverpool away
you just never know, football is a funny old game

The signings of Phillips and Nunes were an absolutely liberty then and look even worse now.

Those two stand out but you can throw in Doku and Savinho too as they are 'prospects' who might not make it for our required level (I don't think they will) and 80 mill for the CB Gvardiol only to play him at LB (he clearly can't do that).

Wishful thinking on a grand scale

I still scratch my head this morning how we can have 23 attempts on goal and not score ! Yet nearly every team we play seems to have a ridiculously high conversion rate from far less attempts….

I don’t know quite where to start but our midfield would be high up the list. Gundo, Rico and Bernardo were all easily out muscled….

We simply must find a way to win on Tuesday and then somehow avoid defeat at Anfield…

I’ll be there again on Tuesday and watching from behind the settee on Sunday

Matey, its a funny old game

We are out of form and you start to panic in front of goal, all we need is a result even if it's a scrappy 1.0
we just get a win under our belts and go again
 
I thought I'd try a new method of posting on the post game thread and leave my comments until the next morning in the hope that I could include a little more perspective or perhaps some positive thoughts. Sadly, the first 5 mins aside, I find it difficult to find anything positive about yesterday.

We were beaten by a younger, hungrier, more physical side. They looked organised and direct, they got the ball, played out from the back well and moved forward with pace and purpose. In comparison we looked old, tired, slow and devoid of creativity an awful lot of our passes were loose and we looked nervous and unsure of ourselves.

It is difficult to see how we dig ourselves out of our current form. The warning signs were, in all honesty, there last season. Whilst our injuries haven't helped they are not solely to blame. We have failed over a couple of transfer windows to strengthen the team in key positions and we all could see the midfield was ageing. The players deserve a huge amount of credit for dragging themselves over the line last season but it feels like the effort involved to achieve that has taken all their energy, both physical and mental, out of them.

We don't have a good record at anfield and that lot play the type of football we struggle most against.

Agree. Recent attacking acquisitions (the obvious aside) haven't been near the level of what came before them, even as prospects.

A few tidy tricks but the lack of end product is frightening.

You would think that would be the strategy when it’s Clear to everyone watching that teams will score if we persist with this current way of playing. Everyone other than Pep that is !

There was a point in the game yesterday where Spurs nabbed the ball during our attack and in one pass they were 3/3 which soon became 4/3. Fortunately they didn’t score that one but by the time they got the shot away we had still only managed to get one more player back.

The forwards and midfield are not working hard enough and playing a style based on possession is not going to work when we keep giving possession away.

Foden,Lewis need to fuckung wake up. Savinho needs to know where the goal is. Walker needs to empty his balls as his sperm is clearly weighing him down. He has no pace. Every player cannot pass or find players. I feel for Haaland , . Yesterday was pathetic
