Couple of clubs which played champions league final struggled for avoiding relegation next season. Some examples are Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Leverkusen. One English club Leeds United played semi-final, from which I remember chant or transparent "There is only one United in Europe", but next season they were relegated to Championship and did not come back ever since. Is this kind of big fall thing which Tottenham players are experiencing now ?

It's hard to watch week by week Spurs being over played by other Premier League clubs. Brighton away looked like Manchester City, while bottom club like Watford or ex Championship club like Sheffield United were better sides at Tottenham ground. Few good victories in Champions League against Red Star were only good games played recently but it was against bellow par opponent. Last bad performance was on Saturday. We had dissatisfaction to see Aurier aka "car crash" in squad again. I see he is bad, journalists which follow Spurs see that too, ex football players and legends see that, fans see that and I am sure Pochetino sees that too.

Question is why is he putting him in squad week by week ? Is it some kind of order from above from board of directors which want to sell him desperately ? I thought that kind of pressure on coach can be made only in Indian leagues like Ling Long Serbian league and not in serious top 5 leagues. I really don't know reason for so big forcing of such bad and inconsistent player. What I know is that when this lad goes in attack he needs cab to drive him back to his position on time, because his return to his position is in non interesting walk and not running. I've heard that call center for London taxi service is in Belgrade. I might found way (connection with it) to book one for Serge so he can return to his position during the game. If you see cab driving near Tottenam right side against West Ham don't be surprised. :)

Maybe I am wrong and lad is just searching for holy Grail ? If you wonder what is holy grail for defenders in football you can ask Maldini! He founded one at one occasion. It's scoring an own goal, following by penalty and red card. I apologize for this blasphemy like comparing world class defender like Maldini with bellow average prick like Aurier. I think Serge is searching for this wrongly thinking he will become Maldini if he finds this holy grail. However his only achievements so far were things like guilt for plenty of goals and chances for other sides, decisive penalty (against Liverpool), or red card (Southampton and hard attempt to get one against Bayern and Everton), but all that made in separate games. He failed to combine all of that in one match.

Tactic which Pochettino is using depends on wide backs which should provide width and if wide backs are not going forward all other side should do is block center parts of defense and Spurs can't do anything in attack. Aurier's impact in attack is close to zero. His few miserable crosses were easily cleared or gathered by Sheffield goalkeeper. His mate from other side Davies is to slow for position he wants to play, while Rose is out of serious form. Everyone knows they should block center parts in front of goal to prevent Spurs creating chances.

Failing to sign world class right and left back during summer transfer window destroyed Poch's tactics. He need to change something serious in style of play, because playing like this can only make him sacked by board of directors. Top 4 are unreachable, club is diving bellow mid table and is closer and closer to relegation zone. After pause Spurs will face out of form West Ham in local derby and if they manage to lose this game they can be near giants like Norwich, Watford, Southampton with away games against them in rest of season. Even pathetic squad like Steve Bruce's Newcastle United is above Spurs on the table. It is obvious it was not just bad day against them when Spurs lost 0:1 at home. Yes Spurs need to play them away too. Tottenham away record this year is quite impressive. I forgot when Spurs won away game in Premier League last time. Was it against Fulham in last minute ? :)

Only two players which I can say are in serious form are goal keeper Gazzaniga and attacker Heung-min Son.

Poch is questioning if he will have enough time for rebuilding of squad ? I am quite sure if he lose few more games he will not have time. I would dare to say if he continue putting car crash (I would say nuclear reactor core over heating) in squad beside living and healthy Foyth or KWP he does not deserve that time. His record for calendar 2019 is disaster, his record for this season is Chernobyl, performances Spurs are showing are for nuclear attack sirens. Play like this can't be tolerated until January for sure.

This form where we can only on luck and VAR win one point at home from time to time with losing away is marching toward Championship. This song "When the Spurs go marching in" can become easily "When the Spurs, go marching in, toward England Championship." :) Poch do something before it's to late please. Pick up right squad.

What do you think will Pochetino last until January or get sacked before ?

In case of sacking who do you like to see at Spurs bench ?
