    We have had two comebacks of sorts and everybody is praising Mason .Why did he not get it right at the start and why did he put on Moura.I believe that the improvement in the second half in both games came from Kane working harder than he has been lately and the fact that son has found some form.It may be that Mason and Kane changed the shape when 3 down but why did we seem to have no plan for the first half .watching the comments on match of the day the pictures of us trying to press were embarrassing which is down to coaching and more importantly lack of pace .Such a clear out needed and please Levy change your efforts to give Dier an extension on his contract or suffer the fans total disrespect.Southgate and Levy seem to think he is good which does not bode well for England.APPOINT NEW MANAGER NOW

    Far too late to be appointing a new manager now

    But they better have someone good lined up

    I like to see passion in a manager but surely Klopp has taken it too far.He accuses ref of saying something to him when giving the yellow card but the fa have a recording where they say nothing was said.If so then Klopp should not be allowed histrionics and should have the book thrown at him.Won’t happen because it’s Liverpool .If it was Tottenham we would be looking at a large fine and suspensions.

    Looking forward to the Palace game already. Hope Mason can solve the Porro question, but suspect he won't.
    Maybe 3 5 2 with Richie up front and Danjuma in mid with Skipp keeping an eye out particularly for danger on right side. But unless our defenders can get a lot better hard to be optimistic about a clean sheet
    ATM I think we will win though

    I the answer is Porro & Danjuma.......its not a very good question

    both very average and not PL top 6 (much like many in the squad)

    I dont gamble these days, so its just a case of predicting for me. My final prediction will be after team sheets, but as I say ATM I think we will win

    I think Porro will play, so we need to make better use of his strengths and minimize his weaknesses
    Danjuma I dont know, its just a feeling I have for 352 and him in the mid
    Lets see what Mason comes up with.

    There is no Porro question… the boy is clearly good

    But he’s a proper wingback/winger… like Perisic… he’s not a fullback

    If you’re asking for him to be great defensively then you’re just asking to play 5 at the back… while playing 2 holding midfielders as well! that’s just embarrassing for a club like Spurs

    Defensively the issues are widespread… they’re in central defence… we have 3 fricking centre backs on the pitch… and in central midfield… we have two fricking holding midfielders… and yes even up front… where none of the front 3 is remotely good on the press… bar Richie… don’t pin it on the wingback who you think has to be great at everything… that’s not his position! and he’s shown already that he can be plenty good

    If Porro is a good wing back that means we are restricted in the way we play.Unless we use him in midfield we have to play 3 at the back because that is the only way to cover his weakness defensively.Not really what you want but surely a good coach can teach him defence.Most people wanted Emmerson gone but he is the exact opposite of Porro good defensively and poor attacking.Pity we can’t combine the best bits of each.Lots of teams have weaknesses at full back but are covered by good central defenders.I wonder if Porro would get as much flak if we had any semblance of a centre half instead of 2 ponies and a mad man.

    Disagree, I think there is a Porro question. Also, I dont think he has to be great at everything. I dont think that and I never said that.

    I am not sure there are any names on here that tell you whether the poster is a female or male? Eh Patricia?o_O

    If the side was stout across the park everyone would be raving about him… but it’s not and he’s being asked to defend far too much

    Conte turned Victor Moses into a very good wingback just like that and won a title… so Porro is perfectly fine

    Need to look at other areas on the pitch where we are well below par

    I think I alread alluded to this saying we need good centre backs and a proper midfield

    Any body else getting fed up to the teeth with this non information about our new manager search.At least Chelsea see to have decided theirs.Every day that passes we are going to get Naglesmann then it’s the Dutchman then it’s the Spanish genius now itsAlonso and even Rogers and forseca.Please Levy get your finger out and at least let the support know what you are doing if anything

    No it's not bothering me......
    I know nothing will happen until the summer

    the new manager will come in......having been promised the earth....... will get 2 signings..... and then will realise thats it until they sell our sh1te.....
    no-one wants our sh1te...... and so the new manager will have to play them...

    same old same old

    U18 final today, looking forward to seeing that.

    So I’ve been reading this theory that Spurs will hold onto Kane for one last year before letting him go on a free?

    My God what is wrong with this club? let the man go!

    This is without doubt the 100% best for everyone

    For his sake he deserves to win something before he retires… that won’t be happening here! And God knows he’s already had plenty of chances to do so

    Second… and this is a little unfair given he has been our best player for many a year… but he is part of the malaise around the club as well. Losing to a second string Sheffield side was the last straw

    So Harry needs to go one way another

    The club is a joke .Harry deserves to go if that is what he wants plus we need the money.I reallly can’t see Levy being that stupid but I have said that many times.would you want to be at a club where we have not had a manager for well over a month and no sign of one.No DOF so can’t even think about transfers and goodbyes.Who knows who will eventually come in and if it is someone who wants to press then Kane is not your man.There will be others to score when Harry has retired so start looking now.we could go for allardyce when he saves Leeds as he has told us he is as good as Pep
