Watching Spurs at the moment is painful. The game against Leipzig followed a familiar pattern.

The team are in a no man's land - somewhere between Poch and Mourinho - with the result that we can play neither on the front foot nor on the back. By which I mean, we no longer press and force errors up the pitch as we used to but nor do we soak up pressure with any measure of control either. We concede so many good chances to the opposition - even poor opposition. I'm not into football stats and analysis but I suspect that our XG stats should actually be x-rated viewing for Spurs fans. How we've not been on the end of some fearful drubbings over the past few months is a mystery.

As far as I can tell, the current strategy is to hope that we don't concede (or concede more than one) in the first 70 minutes and to further hope that, by that time, the opposition have spent their lungs and legs. And then we start thinking about trying to win the game. Baffling. And horrible to watch, even if the results have mostly belied the performances.

Mourinho does have a valid excuse with regard to the squad - injuries to key players, along with others beginning to show their age or just having lost all form. He will need a good transfer window and proper preseason to groove in how he wants the team to play. But Spurs fans have never been the most patient with defensively minded managers - especially following in the footsteps of a hugely popular manager in Poch - so the team will have to get into its stride quickly next season. We won't put up with what we're getting now for another season.

How that was not a sending off is unbelievable. Who would have thought Spurs getting favourable decisions on var.

That makes one non sending off in our favour. Which still leaves us with a deficit of minus three over the past month alone.

Since January 18th, Capoue, Robertson, Cantwell and Sterling should all have been sent off against us but weren't. Go back a further two months and West Ham's Fredericks also got away with one.

With respect to today's decision, what you're seeing is incompetence. Certainly not favouritism.
