Sissoko can’t.
And the prosecution rests its case m’lord.
Sissoko can’t.
You seem to stick in a blind mode when you dont fancy a player. How on earth can you say that Aurier didn't offer anything offensively when he was responsible for starting most of our chances which we squandered? The chances didnt seem tangible because our forwards fucked up!Poch has also continually got his FB rotation wrong, Aurier would have much more logical away at Swansea, where his pace and defending would have been more useful for their counters, whilst Trippier more logical in a game like this where his final ball might just have made a difference, or even better in the 3CB system as a WB.
Aurier - OK defensively, but absolutely nothing offensively of tangible quality.
Son - He tried really hard tonight, and did some good things, in many ways that was one of his best games in a Spurs shirt, I certainly can't remember him ever seeing that much of the ball and being that sure footed with it throughout, (55 passes 87%) but but it just wasn't rolling, then he hit an absolute beauty. But what I loved most was his post match interview. When asked if that was one of his best goals, he replied frankly, dejectedly "It's not important right now, beautiful goal, dirty goal, it's not important, I'm just upset for the three points". I loved his demeanour, he was truly fucked off, and I felt like he competed me and Riggi.

Lamela, Wanyama and Llorente came on to executes that great tactic: OPERATION KITCHEN SINK. None of them contributed to our equaliser.

Lamela got an assist
West Ham are a stain on football.
The header across to Kane who’s first touch them deserted him?Forgive me Bullet, I must have missed the actual real chances of quality that Aurier created that our forwards fucked up, perhaps you could remind me?

Dele wasn’t god awful but he was quite poor. Credit to him for always wanting to try something positive and he took responsibility, but his dawdling and overdoing it wasted several of our most positive opportunities when we were on top during a bright start.

Completely agree with this. It's incredibly frustrating to be a regular ol fan, and can tell, without a shadow of doubt, that the team he selected was awful. It was clear as day. David Moyes must have been so pleased to see a CM of Sissoko and Dier. And a team full of players likely exhausted from playing on a rain soaked field two days ago. All they had to do was sit back and defend against a very slow, tired team. Not for the first time this year, Poch has totally fucked up thenteam selection and in game management. Love, love, love him.... But today was oddly poor... Borderline stupid.Whilst you can't legislate against a wonder strike and one of their only shots at goal, let alone on target all game, this was fundamentally down to Poch not being proactive and recognising that our cumbersome 'dynamic duo' of Dier and Sissoko was totally the wrong personnel in winning a football match against a team of pure bus parkers.
We needed wit, craft and someone to pass between the lines quicker rather than plodding across allowing West Ham to reinforce their defensive wall.
No ratings but i'd just love to know what Poch's rationale is here because it's completely counter-intuitive to what we were all seeing played out in front of us.
