Kane looks dead on his feet. We're going to regret buying someone who can fill in up front.

Dier doing a lot of shouting but so sloppy. Sissoko has been better than him.

Aurier great cross, but he gives away so many fouls.

Good to see the spirit of the Chuckle Brothers live on in Aurier and Sissoko... to me, to you, to... oh shit!

Standard. Kane looks exhausted, sissoko can't control or pass. Biggest worry for me is Moura, he looks on a completely different wavelength to his team mates, which has been the problem throughout his career. Good individual ability but unable to function as part of a unit.

Dele has been excellent though

To be honest I'm really most disappointed in Lucas. Never seems to be in the right place and just not really helping the team at all. He's certainly not been the worset player out there, but has been a ghost. I was really hoping he would grab the game by the scruff of the neck after pre season. Hope he sorts it out second half.

Harsh, given we're playing less than half cocked!

I'm not a hater but the Aurier - Sissoko combo just ain't happening. Polar opposites.


It could be costly.

Who is this second striker? Who of sufficient quality is going to come and sit out 80% of games while picking up a fairly average wage?

Not surprising considering it’s the same group of players but it seems we haven’t evolved at all from last season. Still the same slow, cumbersome buildup play in midfield.

Hurry back Winks.

Sissoko is so poor.

Touch, control, passing, bricks for brains.

Dreadful

Him and Aurier together painful to watch and this level.


£55m there

Grealish better than both - even at Right back.

Luckily we have trippier, Toby and KWP who are betters RB.

Sissoko - see meltdown Thursday !

All the moaning about Sissoko and Aurier, but Kane and Eriksen have been worse than both of them.

Liked Dier's game so far and think Dele and Davies have been decent as well. Hopefully this is a sign of goalscoring to come from Dele.
