Is Declan Rice the answer? Send Dier in the other direction?
Well what's the question?
Is Declan Rice the answer? Send Dier in the other direction?
Something very wrong with the mentality in the group who only start playing when a goal down. Really frustrating as we have the quality
Is Declan Rice the answer? Send Dier in the other direction?
Not sure he is. He has looked abit short when he has stepped up to play international football
Not a lot tbf, one or two speedy runs is about itI missed the game but how did Sess do?
This may not be good news for Ndombele given the praise Mou gave Lamela after the game for saying he was prepared to play.Asked if Ndombele was fit to face Brighton, Mourinho paused and said: ‘I cannot say that he is injured because in five minutes we start the training session that maybe you go to the stands and you can watch it. ‘And he’s going to be training normally. So I cannot say that he’s injured. I can say that yesterday he told me he was not feeling in conditions to play the game.'

I think its clear the problem is center midfield.
The word slow doesn't quite do it justice.
Winks slows us down to snail pace and isnt the answer. To pick him when you have the options of Eriksen, Ndombele or Glc is daft.
That first half was awful. No other word to describe it.
Game changed when Winks went off.
Too slow. We need to go at teams.
Winks isn't strong enough in a 2 in front of the back 4in the Prem!
1st half we were very poor & although we got better in the 2nd we still weren't great! Our 1st goal was a bit lucky, although our 2nd was quality, but we still didn't look like we could be sure of winning.
Is it coincidence that our form has been poor for nearly a year now, and the one player that has played in most of those games has been Sissoko. Before that we were flying. He has one good game in a blue moon but just runs around a gives the ball away. Him and winks just clearly doesn’t work. Winks is class for England because he plays in a more attacking role. Sissoko is the problem!!! Be interesting how forward attacking without the pair on sat we become. Because it’s just sideways back sideways back you get the picture so negative. Lo celso changed the game today much better 2nd half and a good day for Spurs onwards and upwards COYSI don't think any of our midfielders are suited to a pivot. Dier is the only DM but he's too slow to cover the ground and turns like a London bus. He'd be OK with 2 ballers flanking him (say GLC/Dier/Ndombele) then we might get control in the middle of the park. The insistence is killing us, especially with a lack of technical players. You only had to see the difference introducing Eriksen and GLC had to see the proof of that.
Game changed before winks went off.
It was Lo Celso coming on for Sessegnon.
It gave us another player in and around cm, and someone who is confident on the ball and can move it quicker.
I agree the problem is cm, and we need to improve there, but it's not just the cm's. We get over run in cm, because who ever the 2 cm's are, they have to cover the full width of the pitch.
We need, Moura, son, Dele ect to close down and track back as well.
Couple of my spammer mates think he's overrated
Look in front of our noses - Foyth
I go into the ground from the south east corner, and there was loads of them queuing up at the bag drop with their rucksacks and suitcases. They all looked pretty down for some reason.Highlight was defiantly all the Koreans who came to not be able to watch Son play ??
I think its because, as i said before the match, we'll play shit, they'll probably have more shots than us, but up front we have quality and will take our chances.I have no Idea how we're winning games right now, we're utter fucking dogtshit.
