    There are teams out there that play with a rattle in the ball that would play Tottenham off the park the way they are playing lately. Arsenal are going to absolutely ruin Tottenham next week. You think David Luiz is bad? Look at Dier at centre back. Get rid of Mourinho and start again a fresh next season. Least spurs were good to watch under Pochettino. This “football” is shite under Mourinho

    It was shite under Poch in the end as well. Send a decent shrink into the dressing room and figure out which bad apples we need to get rid of, because something or somebody is destroying that dressing room and has been for 12-18 months.

    At last we are playing like we were before the break, great result.

    The football under Poch was much better then this. Players like Aurier, Ndombele, Dier, Alli all players that only care about themselves need to be moved on. It is about them not the club and that’s not what Tottenham need. Sheffield United are not a great side but they work hard and play as a team unlike Tottenham. Need a proper manager to rattle this lot and get them playing proper football again.

    It's not just attitude. The quality is an issue too.

    Three years ago we were sensational. We're a million miles away from where we were.

    I don't think we're much better than the position we're in tbh.

    Not entirely accurate but at least made me laugh after that second half

    Can always rely on Tottenham to cheer me up after a poor result of our own.

    We've been crap for 18 months.

    A Champions League run glossed over how bad we were domestically in the second half of last season.

    We only finished 4th because United, Arsenal and even Chelsea to an extent were as pathetic as we were in the run in.

    Good punditry on SSN just now regarding the goal.

    "It's a disgraceful decision. The referee and VAR have got it wrong! But it's the law and that needs to be changed"

    So... they didn't get it wrong then.

    This, other than the odd game where we went up early and the other team had to take risks we were pretty shit to watch under Poch too.

    Since Mourinho joined nothing has really changed, obviously not good enough and not what you want from a new manager but lets not pretend we were playing better before he joined.

    Just goes to show you a championship side with a very very high work ethic can outplay a team with some very good Premier league individual players in it. Players like Aurier, Ndombele, Dier, Alli, Lamela have no place in the premier league. Absolute joke players.

    Point being what? I'm not seeing any Spurs fans here criticising him.

    Spurs issues haven't been caused by the current manager.

    I was just wandering if they still think he is the right man for the job and optimistic about him being in charge going forward?

    I didn't say anyone had criticised him,..

    I just don't think it's a discussion that matters at the moment.

    Mourinho will 'fail' but I think he needs more time to make his mark on the team.

    Ultimately the manager can only do so much himself. I don't see Spurs situation changing with a managerial switch.
