Dont understand how we are in the situation where our 3best players are inntheir last year od contracts. There is no way we are getting full commitment from these players.

Did you watch that game, I'm surprised the whole team combined managed 39 passes...

No, we assume just Eriksen, but he might have already decided to go next year, which not great but will hopefully clear his mind and just focus now. We know that Toby will go for free next year and Rose isn't leaving.

It's very hard for defenders to keep track of their man in those situations unless it's a near post flick on. The only way you can do it is if you just ignore the ball completely, and I don't think you want that either. I usually give the defender the benefit of the doubt on those occasions.

Don't know about that. We had a dodgy first half last week but we were well on top by the end. We've got good players out and we're not blessed with a plethora of defensive options. Granted, the Vert situation is a bit strange but that aside, the team needs to improve as Poch just said and a little time and patience is needed.

Verts will give us full commitment as he wants to stay. Not sure whats happened there to be honest.

It wasn't too bad. I made a comment in the match rating thread that I'd like to see him look for the ball more, but considering how bad we are building from the back and how good City are at pressing I'm not sure you could expect a whole lot more. Maybe in time he'll be more demanding.

Would really like to know what's going down behind the scenes. I think Poch's comments are probably related to Eriksen and Vertonghen's contracts?

What IS this situation with Jan? It's not contract related...?

In a game where we had 27% possession I think that is fairly decent. We had serious troubles with our play today but I thought he was by far our best midfielder today.

It might be according to Jenas.
