Ndombele off for Eriksen, bit of a mixed bag for him, some good passes, but some of his defensive work is lacking.
and Gnabry gets the match ball 2-5, again Aurier gets done like a school boy at the half way line and a ball over the top cleans out our entire defence.
Wow. And thus ends the Pochettino era. Not saying he gets the sack in the morning, but this will be game where wheels are set in to motion.
FT, 2-7, Daniel Levy has a big decision to make, this cannot continue, we didn't build the new stadium for this.
not even sure what to say.. at home? i think Poch is still given some more time... if they fail to make it out of the group stage.. that is when he will be replaced.. untill then.. i think he is safe. Look, at the end of the day.. they were never fighting for anything more than top 4 in the league.. and the group they are in for CL WASSSSS a winnable group (no longer) but should still be capable of advancing.
Didn’t expect that considering for first 30 min we looked like the old Poch pressing team, up 1-0 and the atmosphere was fantastic. The sound of Oh When The Spurs Go Marching In sounded insane on the tv, can’t imagine being there. Then our shite defense makes a typical mess of things, again not getting a solid boot on the ball to get it the f@#k out of there or close down potential shots. Ok 1-1 but then just as we did vs Olympiakos this team amazingly finds a way to kick themselves in the balls AGAIN at the end of the half. That was the game right there, all momentum/mentality went right out of the stadium like a fart in the wind. The rest of it is just a poor disgrace. No fight, no pride no nothing and at 3-1 they threw in the towel. They make good money but honestly they can all F - off to wherever they want after that shite. Poch included too as he is clearly to blame for the drop in mentality. If the manager doesn’t give a toss and wants to leave why should anybody else be motivated to play or even stay.
It all started in August when Poch left Vertonghen out of the squad and Eriksen on the bench (and continues to do so). This was basically a declaration of war on two of the key players in the squad. It was a big risk and has backfired massively.
I personally viewed the benching of those two as trying to maintain value in their asset, in the case of an injury a deal is unlikely to be struck and both tottenham and the play loose in the situation. However, the fact Eriksen continues to receive a less than normal guaranteed starting 11 spot may validate your claim.
