Be fair, they were majestic - reckon they've left it too late to overtake Leicester but I'm genuinely wishing them luck, that's the best side we've had at the Brit this season.
Whereas we defended like the Vale & Crewe Combined All Stars, wtf is happening to us? We had a not bad spell early in the second half but that wasn't only about being beaten by a better side tonight, it was about being all over the shop at the back. We need a new defensive coach for next season. Vital. If we can hold on for 9th I'll be surprised tbh.
3* for Sparky, we'd lost that game on the training ground before a ball was kicked.

1* for me. Terrible performance and no plan b yet again. No dought I like who he can bring to the club but I don't like his match day management maybe a director of football role would suit him!!!

The team looked like an airfix kit made by a small child. Even so a very poor performance tacticly, shambolic defending and clueless up front. I'm angry so - 4*

6, false 9 didn't work but he clearly wound into them at half time and they came out more purposely second half. Our makeshift back line was torn apart by the best team in the prem who have everything to play for.
Give him 2 if you like, and then tell me exactly how you would have conjured up a result tonight, even with the benefit of hindsight I cannot see how we could have stopped them.

2 games no marking of top goal scorers what so ever and still no reaction -1.
Plus this false number 9 just doesn't work.

It would be easy to give hughes a 1 etc but the players have got to take responsibility and have a long hard look at themselves. Hughes picked the correct 11 imo. Them lazy twats have been on the beach for the last month and it continued tonight. Gutless twats didnt even put a tackle in

Big fat 0 for me as I am as frustrated as hell, maybe he'll get a 3-4 in the morning! how many times has Bojan worked as a striker? probably 1 off the top of my head! trying to play Bojan and Alfy in the same side just doesn't work, Joselu looked good when he came on but that was 45 minutes too late! And don't start me on the lack of pace!

1- For managing to get himself dressed. In all seriousness though, there can't be a worse manager in the league when it comes to affecting a game from the dugout.
He just doesn't have a clue what to do if Plan A isn't working.

Let's be honest, the false 9 thing didn't work at all & although, unlike last week, today we did at least try to press the opposition in their own half, we were quite frankly beaten by a far better team (both individually & collectively). And some of our players turned in shocking performances. I'd give him a 3/10 as well.

I think people are being too harsh. I thought the starting line up was arguably the right one and he was also right to bring of an anonymous Shaq at half time.
We've been looking disjointed for a while and faced the best team we've seen this season by a distance. They are a top quality outfit and played superbly - there were plenty clapping off Alli that wore the red and white stripes tonight, myself included.
Sometimes you have to doff the cap.

Gutless twats didnt even put a tackle in I agree apart from the fact that Hughes did absolutely fuck all to get us back in the game apart from a forced substitution at half time.

Pochettino's most basic philosophy........'You are a professional footballer, you need to work hard, very hard. You work the hardest when you don't have the ball, you work for the team. Please name the stoke players who fit into this category tonight. I'm very interested to be educated on this one.

1. Shit at home again. Embarrassing boys against men. Should have been 0-6 or 7. To be so blasé after that is disgraceful. Needs to wake up. A poor rest of season and crap start next year will put his position under real pressure.

1 - no passion no pride no motivation and a wank after match interview as though it was ok to get fucked by Spurs. I feel like saying "fuck off Hughes" right now but I think that's just me feeling quite sore over the result and performance. Gouranga.

Can´t blame the manager for that. What should he do, when every single player is totally weak. Even if he´d brought Diouf, Adam or another player from the beginning yesterday, it would have changed nothing.
The team needs a 3-days-mental-seminar, with much meditation, having a walk, or drawing together some nice pictures from the team.

0. For allowing the players to get away with no work-rate, no passion, carelessness, sloppiness and a couldn't care less attitude. If this is the future, the future doesn't work! Heaven help us!
