The Winks / Sissoko CM experiment has failed for a 3rd game running. Too ponderous and slow in the build up which results in no movement up front. Either Kane need to play CM or Eriksen needs to come on, and i’d swap Winks for Dier seeing as he’s on a yellow and Mike Dean is ref.

Is Rose done? It's like he's holding back on his runs and as a result the option isn't there. Prime example just then where Kane was looking for him to run up the flank and Rose took about 5 seconds to work out that he needed to be making that move.

I know we look shit but some of these comments are apocalyptic. We're missing Alli, Lo Celso, Eriksen and Ndombele - that's probably our 4 most creative players. Poch deserves some criticism for the line up but I don't think we're suddenly a terrible team.

Same shit every week. Start slowly, let the opponent settle, create sweet fa, then get caught on the break.

Literally 90% of our games in 2019.

I swear I could see this coming within the first 5 minutes.

Vertonghen for Rose
Lo Celso for Winks
Eriksen for Lamela

If we’re insisting on attacking down the left then we needs Verts crossing ability as Rose is inept going forward.

Winks has zero penetration and Lamela has been shite.

? Don't do it to yourself

We’ll get it right in the second half. Plenty of time to get our goals. Our superior fitness will prevail.

This has been going on for about 3 years. Always going in behind at HT. I still have faith we'll win, but when it matters we will get found out.

At least we know that any pretence that Lamela will ever be a replacent for Eriksen have been extinguished.

It wont, people will still neg rep anyone who dares to suggest he isn't world class. Too many plodders in this team. Our main issue last season was that without Eriksen and Alli playing well no-one is creative enough to do anything. I'm willing to give us time to allow N'dombele and Lo Celso to settle but when we lose Eriksen we will see alot more matches like this before it gets better. Shame we couldn't have got Dybala sorted.

There’s no subs that can change this because all of our possession is from Sanchez, KWP and Toby passing it around. Poch needs to actually change the style or it’ll always be the same

Lol Folks just can't say we're playing bad, or this player isn't having a good game.

Suddenly he's shit, he's not good enough etc
Thing is, with a few of our players is not a case of "suddenly" is it?

Wish we'd actually start the game at 16:30 and not twenty minutes in after passing side to side the whole time. Then defend awfully and be chasing the game, yet wasted a quarter of it. So shit.

Poch is a hero but he's being a prick right now

Really don't understand what's going on with him!!
