They have lots of good footballers. Mourinho is doing his thing in which he convinces the world that there is nothing more that can be done with the current crop and that half the squad a clearly dispensable. Classic feckwittery. Thankfully, fewer people seem to buy into it these days, especially in the media.
I particularly like the way Matt Doherty has been determined as not good enough within the space of a few months. New right back clearly required...

Any of the first three are shrewd appointments but can't see Leicester letting Rodgers leave
Yes Don Howe, good shout, he'll suit themSo, who will they hire as their next manager? Who is there? Rodgers, Howe, Hasenhüttl? Allegri? Jardim?

They play like a low table team despite having some really good team overall. I never liked Mourinhos style, succesful or not.
It’s absolute mastery. Had me fecking fooled, I’ll tell you that for nothing.
Have to say, I thought he'd be a really good signing for them, the same way Sergio Regulon has been for them. He was an excellent player last season
Nein das nichts would love to see Spurs getting scorelines like that
It's a miracle Son's still there. He could've spent the last few years at somewhere like Bayern winning everything and scoring 25 a season, instead he's nearly 29 and has never won a major trophy. Just seems a bit of a waste.
He's not good enough as a fullback - more or less a poorer & right-sided Marcos Alonso. If you use him as a wingback and give him license to attack the opposition area by letting him underlap a traditional winger he can do pretty well, but if he gets isolated defensively in wide areas he's a liability. Lacks the attacking nous and physical dominance of Alonso though.
Hell, he'd be a great fit at Klopp's Liverpool. It's really a shame. He's one of the, if not, the best Asian player to ever play in Europe and he's got feck all to show for it in terms of trophies.
Doherty has been crap whenever I saw him play for them. Considering Aurier has been outperforming him and even Reguilon has mostly done well from what I have seen, I am sure it's Doherty's problem.
They have a pretty good attacking options whom Mourinho can't seem to get them to perform regularly. He can't seem to benefit from Kane and Son at all unlike the beginning of the season. He also seems to be under using Vinicus even though he spent the whole summer asking for a striker.
However I have always thought their midfield is underwhelming and their defense is an absolute rubbish. Lo Celso and Ndombele are great, but Sissoko isn't a footballer and Winks is absolute trash. Playing Dier as a defender is a recipe for a disaster. Aurier is inconsistent and Reguilon is great.
I'm not sure. They seem ridiculously reliant on Ndombele and Son creating things on their own to Kane now and without Lo Celso as a bench option Mourinho doesn't seem to know what to do when they are down or need a goal. Their defense and midfield need a complete rebuild from scratch but Levi isn't going to offer funds for it. They are going nowhere with Sissoko, Winks and Dier playing regularly for them.
I'm not afraid of them regardless. Their period as a consistent top 4 is done. It was one lucky period in which a group of talents that developed into great players and a coach that managed to extract every possible thing from them. They might find another offensively minded or better coach than current Mourinho but I doubt they will ever manage to resemble a similar team for a long period of team with their funds. Once Kane or Son leave or become past their prime, they are done for good. They will never manage to replace them with similar quality.
They are returning to where they used to be, top 7 team or something.

He sure is. He’s carried them ever since the latter half of the18/19 season. Surprised no big teams came for him.
Tottenham fans, would you be happy with Sean Dyche replacing Mourinho?
Hell no
Miserable performance
Just give them £150m and take Kane. He needs to move to a better team now.
Can someone tell me why is Sanchez in the team? Always seem to cost them a goal whenever he plays.
You could tell the Spurs fans had started to give it large again after a few wins. And Bale was supposed to be back. Absolutely dire today. You love to see it.
They're gonna have to go for that Europa now....will probably get beat by Arsenal in the final 
Have to say Lucas Moura was fantastic. One of the few players that turned up for them.

Who else have they got? Roden or Dier? It is not a great choice, to be honest.
Dier is worse and they have no one else. Maybe they will take Maguire + cash for Kane?
Too many mediocre players still getting significant minutes for them in big games.
That's all.
Their midfield hasn't half had a significant downgrade. Just full of plodders nowadays who just foul constantly. Ndombele been better but he's still miles off the class of Eriksen.

I don't know, the guy doesn't seem to learn no matter how many times it happens, it's so fecking weird when you think about it.
What's happened to Tanganga and Bergwijn? Doesn't seem like either have played much recently
Any team with a well organized press and discipline in covering defensive transitions can smother the life out of them. Brighton and Chelsea both did it while Kane was hurt. Arsenal just showed that you can do it with Kane in the team as long as you're brave and organized. They just really don't have a plan to advance the ball down the pitch other than hoping that either the opponent plays off them and lets them move forward into the final third relatively easily or the opponent plays rashly in defensive transitions.
They actually have decent players on paper and a better manager would be getting more out of them.
Tanganga looked promising at one point, Bergwijn is shite though, proper mid 2000s Spurs level player.
I'm watching the show on Amazon at the moment and the big deal that is made about both on it made me remember the pair of them
Been watching a lot of Oliver Skipp at Norwich and he's got 'it'. I'm quite jealous. Always been a big James Garner fan but at the same age Skipp is head and shoulders above him developmentally. I hope Mourinho doesn't end up being an obstacle to his development, because finally finding some quality at DM will be absolutely crucial to the talented generation of England youngsters coming through at the moment (Foden, Greenwood, Hudson-Odoi et al) living up to their hype.
This, Rodon is a young CB trying to find his feet in a new league that is a big step up. Dier has periods where he is ok to good, then goes through a patch where he is dire.
Their midfield is the same, I dont feel Ndombele brings enough intensity and lung busting runs. He is a moments player, great for youtube, you watch some of the things he does and it is insane. He then goes missing for 20 minutes, he can play those defence splitting passes though, just doesnt seem to step up enough when needed. I guess you could argue Eriksen was much like this early in his career as well, just went missing in games. Sissoko is almost the opposite, great engine and athleticism, poor footballer, attacks will break down simply because he dithers on the ball, his passing is average and his shooting poor. Who else do they have in that midfield area? Oh Winks, squad player at best, guess he does count towards that English player quota, never really improved, could honestly see him operating at a team near the bottom of the league like Fulham. 25 now so coming into the prime of his career, probably time he moved on rather than be a bench player.
I think they are missing Lo Celso, was Spurs best player the end of last season.
Dont know much about Skipp tbf other than he had some cameos for Spurs when he was young. I would say Hojbjerg has actually been a good signing for them however in that DM position.
Was thinking of that too. I remember watching the Spurs documentary on Amazon and Mourinho rated Tanganga. Probably played a few shite games and got frozen out.
What concerns me the most about Jose over the last few years is just how many of his own signings he decides quite quickly that he doesn't fancy.

Looking very likely it'll be 2 years in a row out of the UCL, how long are Kane and Son going to put up with it?
We should sign them both. That is, if we dont get haaland or sancho or grealish
Their attack is as bad or even worse than ours. Fortunately for us we have a far better defence. Now that Son could possibly be out for weeks, things could get uglier.
Joe seems to be a bit confused...
Lloris kills the whole club
