We play so much quicker once Lamela and Celso came on and we started to bypass Hollywood Ali.

Prior to that all our attacking play centered around Hollywood Ali.

We really should try starting without him

I could play as Dele I promise.

Just receive the ball, wait 5-10s and then pass it randomly left or right.

Ouch. We actually didn't play that bad, dominated at times but there was no final pass. Also Alli slows the game down so much. What is the point of him? Scores every once in awhile but is very poor a lot of the time. Boro would get mullered in the Premier League, so nothing to shout about but I won't be shouting blue murder just yet. I'll leave that to Hank.

Can everyone see how poor Winks is now when you watch players like GLC. Winks is never going to be good enough. He’s so so average.
winks is not the problem alli's the one who slows the game down all the time.

That wasn’t as appalling as some are making out - just lacking some cutting edge against a team that was well organised and got a lot of men behind the ball.

Another totally shit performance.

Jose needs to start earning his cash because we are getting worse by the week.

Hate watching us, hate it. How the fuck did Dele stay on for 90 minutes again too, literally stands still with the ball every time he receives it. Zero urgency or awareness of what's around him.

Not watching this side play on Saturday, no chance. Piss take if we don't extensively add to this group of players.
