Do Tottenham's previous 5 results in the PL point to the fact that they are a "fantastic team"?

Or, are their quality players being given so much time and space on the ball that they can't fail to flourish and prosper?

Spot on! Tottenham have been bloody awful since Christmas. If it wasn’t going to cost a fortune to get rid of the special one he would be gone by now. Just because we are bloody awful and getting stuffed, all of a sudden people are wheeling out stats to show Tottenham are a team of world beaters. Laughable, truly laughable.

Very poor at the back for our standards but going forward we've been better than a number of games this year. Too many weak links at the moment, either just not good enough or too tired. McNeil has been really disappointing this season and Brownhill starting to struggle imo

We manage to make every shite out of form team make like world beaters don't we.

I could have scored that...

I'm actually envious of anyone who was at that game.

Jesus ****ing wept...how much space was Bale in there? What is going on? Inexcusable.

It's really too easy for Spurs

MT03ALG · Post by **MT03ALG** » Sun Feb 28, 2021 3:14 pm

Fulham have 7 players on loan from Chelsea, Southampton, PSG, Bordeaux, Lyon, Torino and Leipzig

Dreadful closing down by Taylor.

a shambles but 10 / 10 again for Dyche's pre match joking around. It must be nice when you think you are bigger than your employer.

Pope not even bothering to dive now. Can’t blame him really

Shocking defending, thereis no excuse for for whats going in out there. Where the hell was McNeil there.

We're going down. We've looked dogshit for weeks now.

Among teams in the big-five European leagues, only Bayern Munich (102) have more goals in all competitions this season than Tottenham (94).

Yes that stat surprised me I must admit, what it does highlight is their firepower, and when a front 4 of Bale, Kane, Moura & Son all click they can do this to any team, I just hope they deliver this level of performance when they play Fulham on Thursday.

Full backs tucking in leaves the flanks wide open.

Again..

Embarrassing. It's like at times we only have 8 men on the pitch such is the space that's been afforded to Spurs throughout

RingoMcCartney · Post by **RingoMcCartney** » Sun Feb 28, 2021 3:16 pm

Have to say Bale took that well. Lovely finish.

claretcarrot93 · Post by **claretcarrot93** » Sun Feb 28, 2021 3:16 pm

lol at people blaming Pope for that. There could have been 3 Popes in net and he aint saving that

What happened to the days when we could consistently give the top teams a good game? Seems a lifetime ago!

Absolutely useless from Vydra. Pretty useless player really. Replacement needed.

Great chance for Vydea to head in. Heads over instead!

It was only a few weeks ago that Dyche got his bonus. Since then our form has dropped.

Good block Tarkowski.

Corner them, off Lowton.

Most other teams in the Premier League don’t mind playing Spurs. In fact many of them positively relish it.

So many Rovers fans on this thread.

Just kidding, Rovers fans would be p1ssing themselves, not criticising the team.

I still don't think we'll need that many to stay up, but I know what you mean.
