Spurs of old here. Ragged. Badly missing Dembele and Alli.

danny fukking rose giving the ball away when last man we should be 3 down

This is awful to watch. It really is same old Spurs. No one has done anything, and there is no creativity whatsoever.

I'll be absolutely disgusted if we throw away 2nd.

Long Time Lurker

Great season. Possibly no harm seeing so blatantly where our vulnerabilities are. We have one good starting eleven. Fingers crossed we finish ahead of the gooners.

davycc

5 mins stoppage time to nick an undeserved point

davycc

70 % possesion overall

2nd Row Donkey

Can't watch this rubbish.

abff

Flipping heck.

MonkieSocks

We didn't deserve anything today.

No movement up front and fell into the trap of hitting hopeful balls at them.

This will give Arsenal a boost at City today

ziedth

Come on City.

Getting paid around £50K a week at least only to turn up and do **** all. And they should know the fans are desperate to finish above Arsenal. Pr!cks.

Only caught up with the match. Ran out of ideas in the 2nd half. Never threatened Forster.

Walker finds himself in fantastic positions, right foot in terms of crossing, is weak. He was never gonna beat Bertrand.

Saints deserved the win. Been a fantastic season, hopefully one or two creative additions in the summer.

Just one of those days, can't píss and moan about the result.

A one Sharon.

Rose got caught in possession a few times and Mason gave the ball away a lot.


It reminded me of April/May last season were we got stuck in 3rd gear and just stumbled through what was left last season

So it goes down to the final game then.. Avoid defeat at Newcastle and 2nd is ours.

Sounds easy. Just like beating Southampton at home does..

Only needing a draw is almost worse than needing a win. The lads might play for draw which is a dangerous game as we all know.

Three seasons in a row Pochs team has faded over the final 6 or so games.

Just back from the game,no doubt the Saints deserved their win,It was very disappointing to see us play so poorly,must get at least a point next week so we do things the hard way again.

Dublin Spur

why do we always make it so hard for ourselves ?

In fairness he was fantastic under Poch at Southampton. We'll need quality in rotation next season.

Though, I'd be happy to dismiss it as paper gossip.

What about the forgotten man at Southampton. .. Jay Rodriguez. He was immense the season before last then he got a bad injury.

Might not be the same player after the injury.

Last 6 games? I love the knee jerk reactions.

It was only 3 games ago that spurs were being lauded for having the bottle for a title fight and going the distance after wiping the floor with stoke.

The draw with wba took the wind out of the players sails and the title was done before the chelsea game. I would say they were mentally drained after that wba result and that has more to do with it than pochettinos training regimes/style of play

Not Knee jerk at all, actually a more long term observation of what I've seen happen to Poch managed teams. I think last season our results may have been slightly better but certainly a drop in the intensity levels.

Our last 10 premier league games: L,D,W,W,D,W,W,D,D,L. 16 points from a possible 30.
The 10 games before that: W,D,L,W,W,W,W,W,W,W. 25 points from possible 30.

Pick the first seven fixtures from each of those lists and there is only 2 points difference.

Or how about take groups of 14 games instead of 10 and then itd be equal.....wat a useless 'stat'

My point was that after the soke game did you hear of one single person saying that spurs looked tired? And there was only four games to go after that game, not 6 like had previously been stated

In fairness, the last 10 PL games were West Ham, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Liverpool, Man Utd, Stoke, WBA, Chelsea & Southampton.

The previous 10 were Southampton, Norwich (twice), Watford (twice), Everton, Crystal Palace, Leicester, Man City & Swansea.

The last 10 are significantly more difficult. You can't realistically expect to pick up 25 points from every run of 10 games. Any team doing that would finish up with almost 100 points.
