    That's the worst 45 minutes from Spurs all season. We were absolutely awful.

    we don't have the firepower to punish teams when are on top.

    Midfield disappeared, no service to Kane.

    Spursy :(

    =(:-) Me? I know who I am. I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude (-:)=

    That's the 3rd or 4th game at WHL in recent weeks that teams have come and sat deep and we don't seem capable of playing around them.

    It seems we just cannot kill teams when we take the lead. The two points dropped at the Emirates should have been cause for concern and not celebration at the time.

    FFS. Just arrived home from abroad and made sure I didn't hear any scores so that I could watch a recording of the game. Why did I bother?

    I don't mean to add to the negativity but these results are eye openers. As well as we are doing we are three points above 11th place. It's a crazy season.

    Given the way the league has panned out, I wonder if dropping out of the Europa League may have been a wise strategic move. Regardless of how many players played on Thursday, the squad only had a two days to prepare for today's match.

    Awful performance 2nd half, got what we deserved. Lloris was shocking for the winner too.

    Very tight league, couple of points away from the 4, and a couple away from mid table

    I'm not gonna have a go at anyone for that today. Damn sure its a shiote result but go explain it. I can't. Why did it happen. God knows. Kinda glad the unbeaten run is over as it might stop the players thinking about not losing and they might just out more to try and win games.

    Disappointed but hardly surprised. Still a good old spurs trait. It was all set up to land ourselves into 4th and be masters of our own destiny ahead of out probable nearest rival for that spot. Come 93 minutes and we're 5/6/7th place fodder again. Typical us. Amazing how we still can't defend set pieces.

    I had a bad feeling about this one but kept quiet as I didn't want it to happen.

    We will regret those draws at the end of the season I'm sure but I'll be interested in seeing how we cope over the Christmas period. Dropping points between now and January is not going to happen if we want to keep up with the pack.

    Crucial few weeks for the club coming up IMO.

    a bad day but not the end of the world - we had enough chances in the first half to win it but 1-0 is always a very tricky scoreline and anything can happen - we've seen it many times before.

    but overall we have a decent side and we are progressing under Pochintino. ENIC need to back him to the hilt in the transfer market as we are very light up top. If they don't it's gonna be 5th-7th again and no real progress.

    ...... that's if its league success they're after (which they aint) then it should be the done thing. Sadly it would appear that fattening of calves is the object of the game for now. Stadium needs paying for. Anyone wanna guess how much Eriksen, Kane and Alli go for :(

    Yeah they're always selling players who don't wanna leave. Bale, Berbatov and Modric wanted nothing other than to have league success with Spurs. It's not like they went on strike and refused to play for the club.

    Then the fat calves kept all the Bale money for themselves. By rights they should've splurged it all on the squad, we would've won the league for sure.

    Spending money is always the best way to have success.

    spending it well is the key - having a clear plan and securing targets early in transfer windows helps a lot. Levy either doesn't grasp this or just wants to do things his way to the determent of the club.

    A change of tact would be nice in January - no more fúcking around for free-transfers on 31st Jan please.

    lets see......

    Spending it well eh, such as you suggesting the other day that we should buy Andre Ayew at any price and at any wages, to be back up to Kane.

    You didn't even know his name, other than he wears the 10 jersey for Swansea.

    You see no irony in criticising the club for not spending money well?
