Comical defending . Don’t know why I’m watching this waiting for the inevitable. We dont even try to attack so how do we expect to score ?

What is the point of us? We beat Man City , bit of confidence , a few signings then this boring cronut sets us up to lose.

Imagine Perez could finish...would’ve been able to stick his fingers in his ears just then.

Also, not really sure why people expect us to be over committing...that’d be a bloody awful tactic as Son and Moura would constantly be in behind.

Well there’s over committing and then there’s joining in game of football . We seem to be doing neither. Well apart from last 2 mins.

Keeping it tight for the first half hour away to a team 3rd in the league and only 2 points behind City seems perfectly acceptable to me.

Well if you’re happy with this then fair enough. Absolutely s**** for me. Spurs aren’t looking themselves lately and it’s probably our best chance against them.

It’s not good to watch but being pragmatic it’s not as if we have the players to set up that differtly at the moment. If we got 4 points from City and Spurs it would be an amazing return, regardless of how we play. Even 3 points (if we lost this) is brilliant. The end justifies the means.

If we carry on like this we won’t be getting any points. Only a matter of time before they score. We should maybe try and score ourself and see what happens.

I would’ve snapped your hand off for a draw but really can’t see it

Sums it up for me. Set us as defence vs attack yet again. Doesn't work and a slap in the face for fans who deserve better.

I agree. It's when we play like this against teams around or below us is when I get pissed off.
