Our goal was offside that's fair enough but theirs wasn't even a freekick let alone a yellow for Winks. Kane was *blatantly* fouled in their box but it didn't even get reviewed. Some absolutely shocking decisions so far today.

Winks has got to go, we're just going to have to write him off as yet another academy player Poch didn't do enough with.

Great, both players get picked, both of whom have taken part in similar or worse performances and as we have previously seen loads of people start moaning about them too

FFS Ndombele, FFS Lo Celso

That'll work.

....and all that whilst also encountering the problem of it being really rather tricky to bring Ndombele on today...

Guess what, if you are lacking in area of the team you tactically arrange it to compensate for this.

This is what managers are paid for?

Mourinho is indulging Dele at the expense of the team.

How about playing 3 cm's to allow players lacking fitness, familarity etc to compensate?

Jose should bring bring on some players
who haven't even managed to break into the first team ahead of this current shit show. How can that possibly fail.

If he does i can see another glorious comeback like Ajax

players think they just have to show up, been a constant theme of the opposition showing more desire and courage

It's not like players need to feel afraid of being dropped or of Levy signing new players when they play like shit. Some of them would even prefer it, Pochettino was right and this team obviously needed a total overhaul. It will take us 4-5 transfer windows and by then we will need to replace Kane, Son and some others leaving more holes.

Incredibly worrying that Jose can keep watching the same turgid stuff in midfield week in week out and doesn't even think Ndombele warrants a place on the bench?!

How Winks is being scape goated again I will never know. The only player actually putting his foot on the ball and trying to pick an intelligent pass rather than hoofing aimlessly. And assisted our disallowed goal. You lot are fucking weird.

Winks got booked for not fouling their player giving them a free kick which they took from ten yards nearer to our goal.
Why do we move the ball so much quicker after we've gone a goal down than we did before we went a goal down?

I think the system we are playing doesn't suit him. If we are playing from the back and passing it around he would be fine.
I think he plays like a 10 year old. He gets overexcited chasing the ball, ending up regularly out of position and dives into challenges unnecessarily. He lacks discipline and intelligence.

Jose really needs to play his best midfielders and concentrate on keeping possession and winning the midfield. Every team is out playing us in midfield at the moment and that is just unacceptable.. It puts the defence under unnecessary pressure and prevents the attacking players being fed good balls that they can work with. I really think we should have go to 4321

Rinse and repeat, what I'm saying every game, thus far. If we cant transition or counter quickly then we're fucked. Basically every other aspect of our game is either basic or shocking.

The goal is so crap to concede. Webster is unmarked, and just allowed to pick his nice little run up between two zonal statues and attack space, the ball on this occasion arrives invitingly. It's always going to be a goal. Far, far too easy.

I think the front four, Sissoko, and Sanchez have been utter turd so far.

I don't care if Ndombele and GLC are not yet ready for the PL. They can´t be worse than this.
Besides if they never play, they will never get used to the pace
