Blames it on “arrogance and complacency”
Will he do anything about that though?....
No competition for places, so I think his hands are tied.

We'll just have to win the thing this year and qualify directly.
I am very cross at the second half today.
But some of the petulant knee-jerking would be totally at home on the Harry Hotspur blog - goodness only knows how he's revelling in today's setback.

We didn’t win, therefore, everyone was fudging brick, even Lamela.

1 point in 12 and going out of both domestic cups in the same week isnt really kneejerking is it?
Exactly. Even the wins prior were fortunate. We have run out of ideas and turn up when we feel like it. People should be critical of this team and manager regardless of us not signing anyone.
We have got 2 of the best center backs around. Probably the best striker in the world. Best Asian player in the world. Internationals galore !
So we should not being tinkling up a champions league place up the wall! It's not acceptable !!

I hired the video that many times, they gave it to me....

Many people on here are emotional creatures. Many have challenges in their lives and spurs are an outlet that is hopefully a positive one. So when we play the definition of a game of two halves there is frustration in the moment. Throw in that many on here are not the smartest in terms of football understanding, dislike players for no good reason and there will be angry posts.
Tell you what don’t need any football understanding to see that we’ve been mediocre at best for a majority of this season

That’s true. And I wasn’t trying to say this has been our best Poch season. But our less than stellar play this season doesn’t discount my other points.

Eriksen is simply not doing enough, and hasn’t done enough for a lot of games. Yes, we made some defensive fudge ups, our decision making was poor all over the park.
Eriksen isn’t imposing himself, it used to be against the big teams where he sometimes went missing, now it’s against the sh1t small teams, like Burnley, Woolwich and Southampton. Not only that, but his execution is so poor at corners, free kicks etc. The whole lot need to figure out what the fk they want to get from this season.

This is my worry, I think that every time there has been a dip in form before, we’ve always bounced back. But I also feel like Poch has always been in control - like we dip a little bit pre Christmas usually, and in the second half of the season we are usually firing. I feel like he is prepared for that.
But this is really bad and I don’t think Poch is in control or has any obvious answers. I think the problem is we are coming to the end of a cycle with a lot of players at this club and they know it. It takes a lot of concentration to play under Poch, and to be a top consistent player generally, and too many players are switching off at crucial moments. It’s the players whos’ futures must be most up in the air that are making the mistakes in the League for me. Rose is on the way down. Trippier and Aurier. Aldeweireld getting beaten at Burnley. Admittedly Sanchez against Arsenal doesn’t fall into this category but it was still a stupid mistake then too.
I just don’t know what the answer is. And I struggle to think of a team whose form dipped at a crucial point in the season and still recovered in time. And I think the whole ‘no one goes, no one comes in’ thing at the start of the season, we reaped the benefits of that clarity for a bit. We got better versions of Toby and Rose than we had before, and it served to reinvigorate a bit. But now I think a lot of these players know they might not be around, and there is some weird complacency creeping into the squad. The mission just doesn’t matter anymore.
The only thing I could think that Poch could do is to play the players he knows are gonna be here next season. So that means giving KWP a run. That means Davies in the team. That means Son, not a Moura that has been hit or miss. I think he was kind of doing that today with the selection, and it looked like it was working. But I think sometimes the system and the coaching makes it too easy for the players, and they fail to hold up their end of the bargain which is to execute on it. Sloppy, complacent, stupid mistakes.
