It was supposed to be a perfect weekend for us with the early game. Win and we could have relaxed watching the other games.

What a day for some players to be so off and for Poch to make such dreadful sub decisions.

Poor play from players you would expect to get the job done. Wtf was Alli doing today, was he drunk? It was like he was 5seconds behind the run of play.. pass the ball.. too many touches

Thanks for the 2 goals vs Dortmund and City in the CL. But Llorente needs to go. Really painful to watch him play.

he’s really not suited to the prem. to slow. works in europe where he gets a bit more space and defenders don’t really deal with old fashioned centre forwards well.

How do we manage to play ourselves into a mess every time. Last weekend we got lucky with other results are we going to this time.

No legs, unfortunately. We've been stretched beyond our limits.

Fuck that!! Too many haven't got the heart for it, are not winners! Until we get winners we won't go anywhere, we'll just be like Ar5ena1 waving our top 4 certificate each season!!!

Hardly showed it.

Some at full back would do. Through the middle they were all so ponderous on the ball. Moving the ball forward was so slow. And more often than not sideways and backwards.

This is what drove me nuts. What the fck do our full backs and central midfield wait for? A bloody red carpet invitation? It’s so obvious that we have to move the ball faster to find space. The only thing I can put it down to is extreme fatigue. Everyone’s touch and judgement were very very poor

Dele living off reputation and that reputation was built on his instintive/reactive combo up top with Kane.

He's just not equipped for the deeper role.

Gone from being frustrated to being annoyed with his permformances. Needs to be benched.

Realistically the top 4 is still in our hands. Today was a terrible performance but again, we are so thin that it was coming. Those complaining about the subs - what the hell is Poch supposed to do? Maybe Moura should have stayed on for Dele instead but we have no midfielders. Down 1-0, we ended the game playing Wanyama and Dier in midfield. Poch's bench is beyond thin and poor. All goes back to some bad luck with injuries but more so with the lack of any spending/transfers.

Exactly, you simply can't be unbelievably consistent over the course of a season without the squad to cope.

Dier, Wanyama, Llorente, Foyth (at RB). None of them are good enough. And because of injuries our first teamers are being run into the ground.

Like Poch said, the players are not machines.

To blame the mentality for this is just so lazy. You could see the players were trying.

WH will have known about our injury crisis, the amount of games we've been playing and the fact we've got a huge game coming up. They've gone out to tire us by harrying us and counter attacking at speed.

That was on the cards sadly... you can’t pick a negative team and randomly lob 2 target men on at the end against an organised team whom is well up for it. Piss poor tactics and management by Poch.

Without the swearing I said virtually the same to my six year old. I was explaining that Eriksen never tackling anyone grates because he's paid so much yet avoids all physical contact while players literally run past him.

Not looking forward to Tuesday at all. Just a fucking shit time to have so many key players out to injury.

we always seem to manage to make it harder for ourselves. now the battle for top 4 is going to be more interesting at least.

Sad to see so called supporters turn on a group that have given their all time and time again.
Some of you should be ashamed imo.

What the hell was Poch thinking with his subs. The game did not need Llorente at all and he takes off our best player who is the only one who looked a threat the whole time he was on. Big fat 0 rating today. Dele needs a talking to. So sick of his lack of urgency...
