This might be the worst I've seen Spurs play since the pre Martin Jol days.

And I've a seen a lot of poor, awful football since the Martin Jol days.

Ange has to go today doesnt he?  The league cup has been the only thing saving him.

You cant go away to that Everton side and let them put 3 past you.  They've barely scored in months fs

Moyes gave an interesting interview after the Villa defeat (where DCL had a chance to level the game late on) where he said he wanted Everton to be better with the ball as he thought they were poor with it and they were, he then joked that the players after the game said they've never had so much ball in a game as they had against Villa.

The stats probably back that claim up, Everton had very low stats on possession this season, even against the middling teams, but they were totally different yesterday, had the ball and played with purpose.
Having two defensively dodgy fullbacks made it a good decision to throw O'Brien in there as a third centre back and use Lindstrom as an attacking winger up that side.

Dyche served his purpose, kept Everton up even after the huge points deductions so credit where it's due, but he always failed to make the required changes even when the obvious was staring him in the face, ala replacing the hapless Keane with Branthwaite last year and even this season, buying O'Brien and not giving him a chance.

IN MOYES WE TRUST  ;D

Noticed a headline earlier that was saying he's not under any pressure yet. I'd be very surprised if that's true.

Maybe the amount of injuries is saving him coupled with the league cup possibility.

Would most Spurs fan take a cup and a bottom half finish over the usual 4-6th kinda finish? I know what Levy would want

Levy on this occasion is probably waiting for them to lose the league cup semi final tie before sacking him. 
Better managers have been sacked at that club much sooner.

How many league games between now and the cup semi? Would you be surprised if they went and won it anyway? Same f**ker sacked Jose just before a cup final so unless he's learned his lesson from that?

I would think that at this stage even Levy would take the League Cup, as the chances of finishing top 5 for CL money is gone.

Problem for him and Ange is that Spurs do need to win 5-6 league games.

Problem for Levy more than Ange is that a deck of "senior" players - including the captaincy unit of Son, Maddison and Romero - have all but given up on Postecoglou. So if Levy wants the manager to stay, it's yet another rebuild incoming next season.

I doubt it would  be the FA cup. Hard to believe a  club like Tottenham haven't been in a FA cup final since 1991
