Where too from here?
Tonights game between Bayern Munich and Tottenham has a bit of a tennis score about it 7-2. In anyone's language that is a hiding and that was at home. The team and spectators ate a slice of humble pie tonight. Men vs boys and errors being punished by sloppy Spurs play in midfield. Aurier had a shocker as did many others. Very few games highlight issues this bad and then again very few games have most of your errors punished like tonight.
What the game did do was show the teams frailties and where they need to improve. Pochettino must have a list of things he needs to do and if this team makes top 4 in the premiership this season it shows you how weak the Premiership really is. If you watched Manchester United vs Arsenal last night that should tell you the state of the league as it is very weak. These are the teams meant to be challenging for top 4 then the Premiership has problems.

The second half was like watching a highlights package.
People say it is the strongest league in the world which was probably true a few seasons ago. You have Liverpool and Manchester City who have kept the standards up and everyone else is plain mediocre. What is quite clear now is City and Liverpool are so far ahead of the others they have nothing to fear, but themselves.

Embarrassed and shell shocked.
What Bayern demonstrated tonight is how to punish mistakes and Tottenham were opened up way too easily. What I found interesting was the commentators could see problems coming in the second half whilst the first half was playing out.
The one thing which proved true was they said Bayerns set up with the diamond formation is tiring Tottenham out and they won't be able to keep this up. No truer words as they proved so true. Other teams have now seen how easy it was to beat Tottenham and it is not an easy fix for Pochettino and his team. How can a team go from finalists last year to being crunched at home and we are only talking 3 or 4 months? Are they a bad team? The answer is probably no, but then again they definitely aren't a great team either.
I have read @blanchy's posts about possible rifts in the dressing room and watching this there are more problems with the squad in general. The truth is they just aren't good enough and the fans watching in the stands were silenced.
I have been to a game once before where the home side was silenced and won over by the opposition and that was in Paris way back in 1997 when South Africa beat France 52-10. The South African team was given a standing ovation by the French.
Pochettino and Tottenham have loads of work to do and maybe an exit to Real Madrid would be a welcome move right now. First things he needs to do is sort out the contract problems and settle the dressing room. If he can't do that then they have a massive problem and removing one or two players from the squad may be needed. It sounds harsh, but the team and the club has to come first.
