It’s like we’re trying to play like Liverpool as their front 3 are often bunched together.
Except we’re not playing with the pace, pressing or running.

Eriksen and or Lo Celso must come on.
I get that Pochettino wants to send a message by not playing Eriksen but the truth is that we once again look rather poor without him.
I love Cocos attitude but he's not the right player to play in the hole against s team that sit deep.

Yeah - it did not feel right in the warm up either.

We create this mess regularly by playing with no tempo and allowing other teams to feel there way into matches. We haven't put them under enough pressure from the start. They have let us have it in our own half yet I've still lost count on the number of occasions we've made passes square when not even faced with an opponent in our own half. We dont get it forward quick enough.

It's just so ponderous and slow. As it has been for ages and there seems to be nothing done about it. I dont get why?

All too reminiscent of how many umpteenth first half's that have preceded.
We turn games round through individual brilliance as opposed to a game plan that's been carried out to a T and quite frankly, I couldn't tell you what a Poch team stands for or what style of play it should adopt.
Standards are now looking to be set higher than we have been accustomed yet even the pre requisite 'Poch press' is a disjointed horlicks and despite this team being together for years, they are playing like strangers.
People won't like this and it's certainly not knee jerk down to this game but Pochettino should definitely be under scrutiny and not feel he is untouchable because mistakes are being repeated again and again....

Lamela off please. His only role at the club should be league/fa cup and to come on when we are 1-2 goals up in the 80th minute to run around and be a menace. To think he could fill Eriksen’s creative role is a joke.

He could start but keeping fit and picking the 11 best player. One way to defeat a deep defence is through pure quality.
I’m not sure whether he did touch the ball in that game.

I thought he was one of our better players so far but he’s getting too close to the front three who are too narrow and as a result are getting in each other’s way because we’re not stretching them enough
Sonny should be hugging the touchline as he’s got the beating of their fb

Christ- last season’s post Christmas slump continues. I’ve posted previously that this is a team transitioning but that doesn’t explain the shit shower today. Basically, in five halves of football so far this season, we’ve had about 20 minutes of decent play. against tiring relegation fodder.
Not close to good enough for a team and a manager claiming to be on the verge of becoming a big club. It’s obvious that while Sanchez is still young and learning, he persistently makes really basic yet damaging mistakes. We’re playing with our two quickest wide forwards, yet they keep drifting in wide rather than overloading with Rose and KWP. It’s clear to me, who according to my wife- who’s fairly astute- is generally stupid that Sissoko and Winks aren’t needed against a team that parks the bus. A single DM to screen the two CBS is more than enough with a much more adventurous, inventive midfielder linking with the CAM to make more opportunities is crucial.
And get Son and Moura out wide and overloading with the fullbacks like City and Liverpool do week in, week out against teams that sit deep.
I rarely rant but this is starting to look like tactical intransigence from Poch, which is a never a good sign when all the evidence suggests your approach is failing

5 of our last 28 games we've scored in the first half, so 82% (?) we haven't.
Careful bud. Here come the dislikes!! Poor poor player with a big effort. And some people appreciate effort only. Which is the least you expect.

I said it in the pre-match thread that I’d rather have Vertonghen and others said Sanchez needs to play and learn...well he’s learning again it seems.
