The players look completely out of ideas. It would take a miracle for us to survive in this league.
One thing’s certain — Mathys Tel and Richarlison are ready for the battle and should be starting every match. The rest? Not so much. Spurs supporters have now turned on one “Championship-level” player who they believe contributed nothing against Fulham.

Tottenham Hotspur’s campaign suffered another setback at Craven Cottage as they fell to a 2–1 Premier League defeat to Fulham. The loss underlined Spurs’ ongoing problems and sparked fresh criticism of several underperforming players.
A Game That Slipped Away
Fulham started brightly, pressing aggressively and taking advantage of Tottenham’s defensive weaknesses. Harry Wilson opened the scoring after a slick move, before Alex Iwobi added a second prior to halftime, leaving Spurs with a mountain to climb.
Richarlison pulled one back with a header after the break, but Tottenham rarely looked capable of completing the comeback. Fulham dictated play comfortably, exposing Spurs’ lack of creativity and cohesion.
Tactical Issues on Display
Thomas Frank’s cautious setup failed to deliver. The midfield struggled to connect defence and attack, isolating the forwards and slowing transitions. Spurs’ pressing lacked intensity, their passing was laboured, and their overall play lacked urgency.
Supporters were left frustrated by the absence of imagination and fight.
The Main Target of Criticism
Although the team underperformed collectively, Xavi Simons bore the brunt of the backlash. Fans criticised his weak pressing, poor ball retention, and failure to provide any attacking spark. Many labelled him “Championship level,” questioning why he continues to start important games.
Despite his creative reputation, Simons struggled to influence proceedings, offering little drive or risk-taking. As a result, Spurs’ attack looked predictable and blunt.
Supporters Voice Their Anger
Fans did not hold back at full-time:
“Simons was invisible — like playing with 10 men.”
“Championship level at best.”
“No creativity, no energy, nothing.”
“We need leaders, and he goes missing.”
The criticism extended beyond one individual, with many questioning the squad’s mentality and resilience.
A Season Unravelling
The defeat means Tottenham have now gone five league games without a win, drifting further from European qualification places. Inconsistency continues to define their season, with flashes of quality overshadowed by a lack of discipline and intensity.
Pressure is mounting on Thomas Frank to make changes. His persistence with struggling players has raised eyebrows, and he now faces the dual challenge of fixing tactical flaws and restoring confidence.
What Comes Next?
Upcoming fixtures against top-six sides could shape Tottenham’s season. The team must rediscover belief and structure quickly. As for Simons, scrutiny will only increase unless his performances improve.
The loss at Fulham was more than just another defeat — it exposed deeper issues within the squad. Patience among supporters is wearing thin, and without significant improvement, Spurs’ campaign could continue to unravel.
