Lamela was superb when he came on. We needed that. I have no lets lose and get the manager sacked agenda, which is quite sad to see on here.

I'm going Dele night have been awoken with that goal. The lil melee he started was when he had a lil fire in his belly. I hope it's reignited after that

Yeah hopefully he reignites that player he was from couple of seasons back

Our new stadium bounce is well and truly over.
Good fight in the second half. But it can’t paper over the cracks.

that was Watford. I repeat. Watford.
You can see that...tickets are coming easier to get and before you know it our attendance will be down to the early 50's.

Sounds like the boys have dug deep. I can accept poor form but not lack of fight and it sounds like we have fought. Also seems like Dele perhaps is beginning to make his way back to form.

a draw is at least an improvement on the last two games though of course not what we wanted. The Poch our stuff is IMO still crazy and the alternatives mooted by some even crazier

Players love fans like you. Complete sucker.

uh huh... so there are clearly a selection of our players who simply can't be arsed, so that's somehow 100% Poch's fault.

I don't know if it's the manager or the players but from the evidence presented we have at least four players who are not trying anymore, slack passing, not chasing down anything and their shoulders are slumped. Poch has to decide - do we field second string players or give our players the opportunity to salvage some pride? Either way he's boned, being a manager is a thankless task when the workers decide to down tools because they want away.

How about we direct some of this ire toward Eriksen - we know he's got talents, but has he given a single shit since the window closed? Not shown it if he has - his passing has stunk, he's barely run a yard and alongside him there's Winks working his tits off. How about you save some of the hate for the manager and point out what a dick shape Eriksen's making himself, sulking and moping around because he didn't get his own way. THEY didn't come in for you, mate, stop punishing the fans and the club that have shown you a lot of love over the years and make some effort - you think that they'll want you playing like this?
There is a common denominator to all of this and it isn’t Eriksen. The entire squad, barring one or two players, are massively underperforming for a manager they would have run through walls for over the last few seasons.

He’s lost them, that has been abundantly clear for a while now and today has underlined that.

We are currently looking like Chelsea in Mourinho’s last season, players who appear to be playing to get the manager out.

We all know how this ends.

Just throwing this out there as I would love to hear you guys opinion

Are we really that shit, and will changing coach/manager, have a positive effect on the same players??
I think we've got structural squad issues that need fixing and that won't be an easy job (and nor do I have confidence in Levy to stump up the money to do it), but I think a change of manager would fix some of the issues immediately, because if you got the right man in (my choice would be Mourinho) I think some of the players are just fed up of Poch (rightly or wrongly) and would instantly start playing better for a new manager.

Very strange post considering Eriksen didn't even play today. Its just more deflection. Poch is the problem not fucking Eriksen.

I used him as an example - i can't help it if some of you have this tunnel vision to blame the manager when the core of our squad can't be arsed anymore. The fact he doesn't play today speaks volumes to me and, if anything, gives me more confidence in Poch. He's getting shit on because he didn't play our first choice, Eriksen is affecting the way you think about our manager when he's not even playing.

He's been the centre of our team for a few years now, I get that, and I loved him there, but his attitude has had the biggest affect on our team - when playing he's stunk the place up, when not it makes us weaker. Sure, rip on Poch for not having a player of the calibre we need to replace him but after a lot of though it's clear that Eriksen is the problem in our club right now.

Jan and Toby aren't looking tip top but we know that the impact of cycling them in and out of the team isn't as obvious as Eriksen's presence.

The difference between Son's movement when he first came on and the rest of the team is startling. We're at our worst when everyone wants to get the ball to feet and don't have anyone to move in behind or making selfless runs. I don't know if it's tiredness or laziness, but Kane's movement is nonexistent. He picks up the exact same spot in the box for every cross.
Instant difference

If that had been any other team than Watford they’d have put us to the sword the with chances we gifted them. The CM and back line were absolutely shocking. Poch’s team selection and tactics were a disgrace, he’s got to go.
