Well at least Sanchez is learning. :ROFLMAO:

What the fu*I is Lamela still at the club

I think he has actually been ok. He presses so well and doggedly fights to get the ball back. Just some of his pony tricks aggravate me.

It’s pretty uninspired stuff. Slow and very predictable. We’ve always had problems with penetration against sides that sit deep, but there’s a lack of energy as well as no creativity.

Newcastle look a totally different side than they did against Arsenal. They had zero energy that day. Today it’s us. I’m loath to blame the heat. We should be fitter than they are.

Need Lucas an Son to pull wider to stretch them.

Once again the lack of a DM to protect the back 4.

The defense was open and poor.
To concede such an easy goal form a poor Newcastle side speaks volume of our defensive frailty.
Sanchez was at fault imo.
This goal had nothing to do with a DM

Lamela again taking way too many touches. Winks slowing down the game as well. And then we persist going through the middle time and time again while there just isn't any space. A painful watch.

As poor as he’s been he’s the only player trying to create

Villa all over again have we not learned

I think the tactic needs changing.

Jan needs a runout before the scum game and don’t think son is going to last 90 mins

I just feel like there's always a slight risk when playing Sanchez, I don't feel like that with Vertonghen at all. Has to be Alderweireld and Vertonghen against Arsenal but I don't think it will be. Poch will make the same mistake he made last year in keeping one of them out.

WiganSpur · Aug 25, 2019

Sanchez doesn't look comfortable at LCB. I also think he's got a focus problem against lesser sides. At the moment i'd opt for a first choice back 4 of KWP, Toby, Verts & Rose in league matches. We need the defence to start playing as a unit again, I think it needs some continuity for a few weeks.

CowInAComa · Aug 25, 2019

There is a very worrying possibility that poch literally has no tactical answer to breaking down a deep defence that just let's us keep the ball on the halfway line.

We miss Dele today. Eriksen/Lo Celso will change it though. Still think we’ll win but so frustrating how hard we make it for ourselves

Hope you're right. Just worried about what we're going to do when we can't bring Eriksen on any more.

Why is KWP so slow passing the ball. Getting himself in trouble over and over again. He have many alternatives to pass but keeps on holding the ball.

more like poor movement ahead of him. he lost the ball once which was on him but otherwise he's done well, i'd like to see him be a bit more forceful with his forward runs though.

You're right but that's why we were all crying out for new creative players. Without them on the pitch it's hardly a surprise we're struggling.

Hopefully Poch doesn't fuck around and makes the changes early - we need Eriksen and/or Lo Celso on the pitch ASAP.

I think we have the players in the main. The problem is the style we play.

Maybe he has hit a blind spot and just can't see the rubbish and disorganised tactical formations that has been evident for a while.
We got away with it last week maybe the luck will not serve us well today although there is still time to turn it around

Quite possible. Maybe he has utter faith in how we set up and just believes that if he persists then it will work out but I don't see how it can when the opposition can easily work us out.

Zippy1980 · Aug 25, 2019

Obvious statement but we need to start the 2nd pumped

am_yisrael_chai · Aug 25, 2019

Winks and Lamela off and Eriksen and GLC on please

AnotherSpursFan · Aug 25, 2019

Harry Winks and Harry Kane likes to warn other teams about Spurs, bet they're having a laugh when they say that.

fecka · Aug 25, 2019

I'm seriously starting to worry that we're reaching the end of the line with Poch. We've been on relegation form since april and I've seen nothing to suggest that we're about to improve..

TropicalYid · Aug 25, 2019

I would change Sanchez with Jan and Sissoko with Eriksen.
And after 60 min i would sub lamela for Lo Celso.

Lamela shows us hes still the Lamela we have gotten to know. 1000 touches and nothing created.

If we don’t let in the first goal early then have me whining for 75 minutes about how shit we are before getting 2 late goals I will be disappointed.

Setup to be my perfect day.
