Thought we were a rad unlucky to lose that game. Spurs, despite their dominance, were in my opinion, disappointing. For those of you who are continually saying we had no fight, couldn't say that today.
Thank you Mr P....
Must have have been a really difficult to watch that cruel result.
I'm absolutely gutted, can't think what the comments were like leaving the ground.
The first half, with Babel in the side, was the best football I'd seen this season. Once Babel is fit and up to speed things look positive, unlike the right back position.
+1
We have 9 days before Brighton. I pray PRAY Tony gets a CB and RB in or it well and truly is curtains.
Very good first half. Not so good second half.

Im a fan of schurlle but am convinced that the right back position looks so poor as they get no cover. I'm not digging as I'm the eternal optimist but Christie constantly has two to cover when we loose the ball. Not saying he's cafu like but he's not as bad as the hammering he takes on here

Think we desperately need someone like Moses - Christie put in a shift but chose the wrong option going forward too many times - gave away some sill free kicks.
What a sickener.

i am sorry to have to break it to you this way but if you are relying in TK to bring in the right players before brighton then do not hold your breath to long. now he could amaze us and get a few tomorrow or tuesday but I suspect if he does they will a) not be match fit, b) already injured or c) about to be injured putting on their boots, d) out of form or e) unkown poor players withan inflated reputation but good you tube vodeos showing their three best moments. TK has no idea and I am afraid it is curtains for us this season.... we will be lucky to get 25 points.
I thought we were a tad unlucky to, although it makes a change having a bit of luck with their own goal.
I think it is in the stars that we go down, I thought we would put in a better performance today but for some reason always thought we would lose by a goal.
Every defensive error we make we get punished, Mitro was fouled most of the game and got little from the Ref and possibly could have had two pen's......like I say its in the stars.
If we get out of this it will go down as the greatest of escapes, cue "Escape to Victory"!!!

Agree with this, I mentioned it a couple of times during the game. Schurrle has some fine qualities but he doesn't help his right back at all.

While Schurlie has a fantastic shot on him he can't pass for toffee, a number of short passes were made to a Spurs player yesterday and that is why Christie is left out of position, he has gone forward and then we give the ball away with a sloppy pass, something we were very guilty of yesterday. Then he has to chase back.
I thought that was one of our best performances of the season, fought hard and worked our socks off. Babel looked very good and from my perspective Chambers was outstanding.

Yawn Yawn Yawn change the record as you obvious hate towards TK has really become a bore!! :doh:
Considering I was expecting a tonking before the match I thought the lads acquitted themselves quite well. For the most part we held out at the back, and did muster up quite a few chances. As seems to be our way, two errors lead to two goals.
Shame, as we were only 10 seconds away from giving the team a standing ovation. Such are the slim margins between success and failure, joy and gloom, etc.
Meant to take a photo of the moon over the Johnny Haynes Stand, very impressive.
Well no one could accuse our players of not fighting in that match, every one of them gave all we could ask of them. Spurs lucky with such a late goal and of course they did have the skills of a top six team.
Full marks to Ranieri for his tactics and for motivating the team, lets have more of the same against Brighton.

All of you honestly feel that André Schürrle gave all we could ask of him? Really......no REALLY? Wow.
Amazing how we all see things differently

Do you have any evidence or specific case in where it shows he wasn't trying?
Yep the whole 90 minutes that I sat through on Sunday at 4pm oh apart from one well struck volley

Fair enough. Does a tackle on Winks in the box when he's winding up to shoot count as effort or is that just lazy defending again, and no effort?

I understand what you are trying to do, and appreciate your effort. However, I think it is nearly impossible to win an argument over someone that uses "the whole 90 minutes" as their main argument.

The last thing I want to have is an argument (unlike some that use this message board) my original point was how differently we all see the game/player.
Perhaps it's actually being at the game itself watching certain players off the ball movement/efforts or lack of that makes us all see things differently as opposed to watching the game/highlights on TV.
I will be at Brighton on tuesday and also at palace on Saturday and I truly hope the andré schürrle has a worldly of a game because at the end of the day that is what we would all like. COYW

Very good first half. Not so good second half.
Sadly, a trend all season long. (The few good first halves we've had.)
