This is where are media team need to grow some balls in the post match interview and ask why we keep replaying the same game plan when it doesn't work. We just invite teams on and can't see out the second half without conceding.

So our media team employed by spurs need to question the guy on 15 m a year re his tactics.

I’ve got good news and bad news.

The issue here is with the appointments, not the sackings.

I think it’s more an issues with poor transfer activity than the managers not being good enough.

You could swap any of those managers for Mourinho and we’d still be around the top 6 right now.

Holjbjerg has made more of an improvement to our team more than Mourinho has.

Buy quality players and we’ll always do well.

i do wonder how many fans played sport because I think they grossly overestimate the importance of the coach in comparison to the players. You can see that right now at Liverpool with their star defender injured.

Not with the expectation we have now. Maybe Francis or Ramos but not in the same self exploding manor, never before have we had such a quality side.

Also Hoddle, AVB and Sherwood all obviously had to go. He got the Jol timing slightly wrong, but he’d hit his ceiling. Poch had given up and had to go. Harry is really the only one that I’d argue might have been unduly harsh.

This, rather annoyingly, is looking very similar to when we had George Graham in charge. Cut from the same cloth. Play boring defensive football but in with a chance of a cup win. We either seem to have shit style managers who might win a cup, managers who play nice looking football but win f all or just shit managers.

Think you are over rating the quality of our squad.

Half of it is woefully average and needs gutting.

The only thing I hate is harking onto the past, the only thing I'm biased against is pointless conversations.

I don't understand the point of bringing up Poch - he's gone you just need to get over it. It's irrelevant whether he had Hojbjerg in his team, the fact is he didn't, I don't know what else you want me to say but I'm not joining in in yet another fruitless circle jerk about a previous manager.

You already did stick your nose in.

Have a look at Poch's last 18 months. We threw away plenty of points against mid table/relegation teams.

You don't invest in a new manager, one of the highest in the world, to get the same results and make the same mistakes though

We have invested in players perhaps not the creme de la creme of players but we do have good players to, forget winning, but play and perform better

The problem is he wont, we have said this since City.

He's becoming more defensive, not less. The starting line up tonight was one of the most defensive I can remember for a home game against a relegation struggler. It was the kind of set up that might be OK in a very tough away game to a side that's far better than us. He's completely ruled by fear.

Can already see the upcoming drama. Gonna be a rough few months with contract getting towards the 12 month mark. Imagine Levys gonna have to stick or twist in May. Already picturing the Manchester clubs making eyes at Kane.

Winks, Sissoko, Hojberg in the same team, at home against Fulham was totally unnecessary. But Sissoko in a front 3, was just wrong. Don't know whether he just out thinks himself sometimes. But he didn't need to today.

Our highest EPL scorer after Kane/Son has 2 goals.

And? There's more to being a footballer than scoring goals. The tactics are hardly allowing others to contribute much either. Fulham are dogshit, we should be trouncing them.
