So open it’s laughable. Need to get Toby on at half time.
Toby on for Dembele. Get back to 3 at the back. Dier/Eriksen midfield. Dele/Son behind Kane. COYS.

I bought Will Hughes on Career Mode to be depth and future replacement for Dembele (similar traits on FIFA) starting to wonder if we should actually consider buying him in real life...lol

I feel like 4-2-3-1 has become so default now too. It's really not suited to us when you have Dier and Dembele in midfield.

Strange how you mention Dembele but not Dier who has been trash as well.
Dier has also been poor, I wouldn't be opposed to Poch changing the entire central midfield up but I'd be shocked if it happened. Dembele has been the most egregious offender.

No other top team makes the number of unforced errors we do. Its ridiculous how fragile our confidence is, half our players looking like they've never kicked a ball before.
You do realise as it stands we are 1 point of the dippers with a game in hand? Muck statement

Lamela, but yeah.

I think we should go 4-3-3 until the end of the season. Makes the best use of what we've got until we can get some CMs.

Yep, Lamela would work as well. Need to change something, play like that again second half and we will be in for a very nervy end to the season

Maybe I'm just being optimistic but I'd hope our scouting is based on more then one half and football and a FIFA career mode

4-2-3-1 doesn't work when you have dier and dembele shitting themselves everytime they cross half way and davies about as useful in the opposition half as a chocolate fireguard.

That was good from Tripps - demanded Dier come over and cover and didn't allow himself to be suck away from the ball. Good block too.

This is one of the many problems with our CM's, especially Dier, he just doesn't think like a proper footballing CM.

Neville ripping on Sanchez and Lloris, and not Dembélé.

Are we watching the same game...
Like Neville but he's got that very very wrong. Sanchez has been isolated not his fault his CM loses an easy pass and he then has to decide whether to step up or drop.

The defence is getting exposed by those in front of them.

This kane slump is baffling. Poch brings players back from injury so slow its frustrating for us fans to understand. So kane must be fit. Poch is all about the collective. There is no way he has one rule for kane and one rule for the rest.

Its as if kane has morphed into Llorente
