***Tottenham Hotspur v Scumball Wanderers***

Oh well from the first minute, our attitude in key positions was poor as if the players were reluctantly going through the motions.

However the refereeing didn't help. That penalty was dodgy! The red card was dodgier. Without Oliver's inept handling of this game, this would be a draw.

We have to take a long hard look at ourselves. Why do our key players not show up in certain key games especially when they are viewed as favourites? Why!!
 
So son out and lamela out, Kane looking knackered I guess it's back to 10 behind the ball and hit on the break.
 
Not sure how you can blame mourinho today apart from Doherty the selection was spot the subs have been spot on.

Players only have themselves to blame only started playing on the 80 min mark

We've been sitting back for 75 minutes, yet we've still been conceding chance after chance, without creating anything ourselves. It's been pointless. We've clearly been told to sit as deep as we have been - there's no chance that's down to the players.
 
The Doherty selection was fine. He is to blame for not doing something about Bale's lack of effort until the 55th min, by which time they'd equalised
It clearly wasn't. Yes he had to deal with 2 men but even 1 on 1 he wasn't able to cope with Tierney. Their equaliser did not come from an overload he was just far too easily bamboozled by a drop of the shoulder as he has been all match. Aurier should have started, he would have done better versus Tierney and maybe Bale not tracking back would not have been so troublesome.
 
What a weird game.

If we'd been hammered all the way, that'd be one thing.
But the way we played with ten, is quite the wrinkle
 
I think it was a fair result.

We were crap.
We were. That first half was awful. I thought we had a manager who wasn't afraid to make changes after half an hour?

That said, if Oliver didn't give the penalty or send off Lamela, I don't think VAR would have overruled either decision. Both harsh, but neither was a ridiculous decision. Still can't excuse the limp performance for most of the match.
 
I really can’t blame Sanchez for making the challenge. He had to do it. If Lacazette doesn’t Sissoko it, he either scores or, ironically, Dav blocks it. You’d expect any decent striker to make a connection. He had to make the challenge. I think Lloris (I think) giving the ball away was the more blatant mistake.
 
It’s been said before but this was a cowardly performance, we played the occasion rather than the team, it showed at the end their defence was their for the taking. Giving the opponent the ball and hoping for individual brilliance is what I’d expect Allardyce to do with this group of players and this has shown me that despite the green shoots in recent games any time we go into a ‘big’ game we are going to be playing like this.
 
The manager should be ashamed of himself. I know the game ebbs and flows based on what happens during it but we were fudging abominable until Lamela went off. Then we fudging dominate?

Toby, Dav and Moura were brilliant. I won’t get in to who was brick.

@milo Sanchez although Moura was a close second.

Blame for this goes to the manager. Shambolic performance for 70 mins and we lost to a poor Woolwich side who looked like crumbling whenever we got near their defence.

Not down to the players then running around like it’s Sunday league
