As many Tottenham fans flooded long on Tuesday before the closing whistle that their Bayern Munich counterparts erupted into a chorus of’soccer’s coming home’ before chanting’we need eight’.
The south stand LED screens, 325 square metres long, given a visual reality of the scenario – Spurs had surrendered seven goals in a home match.
The boos from those staying further highlighted precisely how much of a nightmare this had become with Jan Vertonghen with the words”embarrassing” and”humiliated” in his post-match reflections.
We can review the functioning of the players in the second half but a lot fronted up in the meeting area and therefore they deserve credit. Like their manager they were decided to put it correctly although clearly deflated. If improvements aren’t made, Finally it will fall on deaf ears supporters.
It was a bizarre day, with Heung-Min Son giving Spurs the result within opening half-hour and a lively prompting Mauricio Pochettino to state that charm was the best he’s felt all 43, one that started.
What followed in the second half was anything and the manner of this capitulation, devoting five second-half goals, will result in some major inquest behind the scenes.
What are the motives behind such a collapse?
Are a few of the players simply beyond their peak years? Can there be an imbalance within the team? Do contract situations impact on the performance of the team and team mentality?
The queries will not end there. Just how long will it take to create the chapter which Pochettino speaks about? Can he and Daniel Levy be on precisely the same page regarding a rebuild? What does it mean to their targets?
When asked whether he was surprised at how easy the Germans discovered it to kill off the match, niko Kovac was supportive of the number.
“Of course you are somewhat surprised if you examine seven goals,” said the Bayern supervisor. “What must be mentioned though is that all of our shots left it in our goal [Manuel] Neuer had a good deal to do.”
Pochettino has experienced drawbacks with Spurs. In his book he described the 5-1 defeat at Newcastle on the last day of this 2015/16 season caused him to have sleepless nights through the summer months.
More importantly there was the run leading into a late victory over Aston Villa in 2014 that sparked a revival and it was shown to be a defining moment of the Spurs profession of Pochettino.
Spurs bounced back and they do not have to wait to play with a visit to Brighton.
Now’s the time to”be calm” according to Pochettino and”not rant and rave” but this defeat, along with the reduction to Newcastle and the Carabao Cup depart to Colchester, results in one final question.
But on a chastening night in north London have the winds of change off?
