My points still stand and the fact we went back to one up top with three in behind second half enforces that. Funny how Dele has his best 45 of the season playing off the striker isn't it.

We won. The rest don’t matter b

It does matter. I wasn't basing my thoughts solely on the first half, in the same way they aren't going to change just based on what happened in the second. It's something that needs seriously addressing for next season.

Love Poch. Love his emotions. You know he’ll get hammered for that on social media - ‘he hasn’t even won it yet, why’s he crying and thanking everyone’ etc (already had that text...) But you can’t stop yourself from crying when you’re in that state of emotion. I love him. Really hope we win it for him.

I can’t believe this!

I would suggest that Poch's tactical tinkering is a direct result of having next to no squad depth, and having had to cope with an injury crisis as a direct result. Most of the time we've gone to a back three this season it's been because we've had no one to play in central midfield and have had to make up the numbers somehow. Same with dropping Dele and Eriksen back in a 4-4-2 diamond. Llorente has shown over and over again that he's far more effective as a substitute coming on against tired legs as opposed to running himself into the ground over the course of 90 minutes. Yes he's tinkered a lot but when you look at our bench in most matches it's because he's got fuck all alternative.

Over to you, Daniel.
