The 90s all over again. I remember going to see us play Sheff Utd in March 1994. Kevin Scott equalized for 1-1, and Dozzell got us a point at the death. It seems like those days all over again
What a shame!! We never kicked on, but alas, we are where we are and if Poch escapes the sack now, he will never can him.

The last 2 games was disappointing. We never seem to have control of the games. The young players of our opponents seems to control games easily around our players. Seems like we dont have any "real" game plan...

Just like the last league game, how long will this slide be allowed to continue?

There is no sign of improvement.

No room for loyalty when the league form in 2019 has been so bad.

One of the things that annoys me the most is; how can we allow so many crosses against us? Our full backs are terrible at preventing the oppisition from crossing. I guess that would be expected, if we played with attacking full backs who were bombing up in attack, producing assists on a regular basis, but the truth is they can’t produce a single attacking threat going forward.

Our opponents know they can shut down the centre of the pitch and lead us out wide, and counter us when the cross hits one of the defenders.

We also has no link between our defensive and offensive players. At least poch noticed how alone sissoko was in the middle, and put winks in with him, deeper in the pitch. Don’t know if it was a tactical decision from poch, or positional unawareness from ndombele, but he was far too high up the pitch in the first half.

I can’t see what our plan is. Not optimistic for the future...

We have quality first team players that are lacking motivation. We have academy players (with potential) who are not given playing time( either with the first team or loaned out ) and are practically wasting their careers stuck in the Tottenham limbo.

We need a new man at the helm to motivate the first team players and give playing opportunities for the youth players (either on loan or promoted to our first team squad)

And yeah it’ll cost a bomb, but not nearly as costly as missing the CL would be
Mate that ship has sailed, IMO Levy realises this and won't pull the trigger until he has no option, he's basically written this season off.

The last 2 games?!? Have you started to watch us 2 Prem games ago? We've been quite shit the whole season and the whole 2019 in the EPL.

The shift to wingbacks was an unmitigated disaster. I was thinking right give it a few mins and Sess will be on for Davies but no we stuck with him and he offered nothing. In addition to this Winks went from average to bloody awful. Moronic change of formation and tactics by Poch. Yet when we reverted back to 4 at the back and brought Moura on we looked better, go figure.

We were 1-0 up when we went to 5 at the back, didn’t think it was that bad a call at the time as a hold the lead type of tactic even though it didn’t work out.

I'm confident that with Eriksen in the team we would've lost comfortably.

Dele, who replaced him in the 10 role, made 6 tackles today. I doubt Eriksen would've made even one.

So you primarily define the #10 role by made tackles?
