Every time Spurs climb to the top of the table or close to top four some invisible force whisper to players "You're to good, you don't need to play anything to win the game". Soon after mistakes which circus clowns would not do start to happen. Mistakes like easy own goals, non marking players but letting them to shoot freely on goal, slipping, stupid penalties and stuff like that. Well that happen in the game against Southampton again. United drop point in Burnley, week ago Arsenal did the same and Tottenham had possibility to make crucial steps toward securing top four and Champions League football. Then Southampton came and easily win 2:3 at Tottenham stadium. Let's try to put some day light over that force.

Performance was horror show, entire first half Southampton got the ball, attacks and create chances and dangerous situations every few minutes. They have a lot of space, Tottenham players didn't bother to mark them, but let them pass easily with few players always all alone. It was miracle that period of game didn't end up with 2:5 or 2:6 for Saints. Lucky own goal give Spurs non deserved lead, but Davies and Sanchez canceled it easily moment after with nice slip of first and inability to clear ball with header right by last one. Winks or Hojjbjerg of course were not nowhere near and Broja was alone just to kick ball inside net for easy goal.

Second half was better, Spurs had few chances, started to play normal and once Bentancur came in scored for 2:1 20 minutes before the end. It was situation Southampton can complain to, because antihero of the night Emerson Royal jumped over annoying Broja send ball forward and fall over him. No foul given and Spurs scored goal. When entire crowd thought that was it and start singing Antonio Southampton made attack, Kulusevski didn't track his player who run into box, Royal was unable to win air dual with him, because he was to far away from him and Southampton tap in second goal for 2:2. In no time another similar cross on far post came and Royal and Sanchez didn't bother to try to jump but just watched how Saints do new header tap in for 2:3.

This was pathetic peace of non football where players like Emerson, Sanchez, Winks, Davies, Hojbjerg and Lucas didn't do literally anything good. Kane, Romero and Bentancur looked like only players able to keep ball longer than few seconds in feet in this squad. Sanchez and Emerson lost ball 17 times each during the game.

Lets return to this invisible force. It's well known Harry Kane destiny in this club depends on Champions League football next season. It's also well known that City would like to buy him. I know Champions League bring some money to the club, but not sure it's 100M. So why would we be 4th, qualify when otherwise owner can sell Kane for 100M in summer ? There are also some clauses like obligation to buy for some players in case of qualification for Champions League. Why would we activate them ? Why would we pay coach bonus if we qualify for that ? If we get top four fans will also demand from us to support Conte seriously in summer without selling Kane. Then we'd be forced to get money out of our pockets! Ahhh that hurts!! Otherwise Conte might walk away and we can appoint Mason and become mid table club with limited spending like we always wanted to be! I am sorry for writing this but that non football performance from first half looked like some players are well bribed by owners not to play football last night probably for above reasons. I wouldn't be surprised to much if that's truth.

Second possibility is that those players started drilling Conte and want some less demanding mid table manager under whom they would have more freedom for night life, eating and training easier.

Other possibility is that Southampton's little known players are that good that it's impossible to take ball from them or to hold it longer than few seconds. We came to that point after so much "improvement" in recent period and we are still "improving". If that from first half was improving from anything I am Gabriel Batistuta!

One thing is sure players of this club are unable to play two good back to back games. We can only wave now to place number four and to Manchester United who will 100% take fourth place now. This non performance and helplessness at home ground from first half made me angry to the point that I really don't care what those pathetic bunch of non players will do until the end of season. "We were to passive" said Hojbjerg and stayed alive. Why were you passive bloke ? Don't you have motivation to play for this club ?

It's good not to be in top four because if we come there with help of some miracle we could face Bayern, PSG or Real Madrid and could be easily trashed with a very good goal margin. I am happy I watched this horror show over TV and didn't have to pay single penny for it. Imagine you pay the most expensive tickets in league to watch this from first half ?
