uh huh... so there are clearly a selection of our players who simply can't be arsed, so that's somehow 100% Poch's fault.

I don't know if it's the manager or the players but from the evidence presented we have at least four players who are not trying anymore, slack passing, not chasing down anything and their shoulders are slumped. Poch has to decide - do we field second string players or give our players the opportunity to salvage some pride? Either way he's boned, being a manager is a thankless task when the workers decide to down tools because they want away.

How about we direct some of this ire toward Eriksen - we know he's got talents, but has he given a single shit since the window closed? Not shown it if he has - his passing has stunk, he's barely run a yard and alongside him there's Winks working his tits off. How about you save some of the hate for the manager and point out what a dick shape Eriksen's making himself, sulking and moping around because he didn't get his own way. THEY didn't come in for you, mate, stop punishing the fans and the club that have shown you a lot of love over the years and make some effort - you think that they'll want you playing like this?


Very strange post considering Eriksen didn't even play today. Its just more deflection. Poch is the problem not fucking Eriksen.

Better attacking football when winks came off

I'm not singling him out as a player exactly. Just he and Sissoko together are awful. There's nothing to compliment. They're both safe and lack ingenuity.

Sissoko is a better athlete and defender however so for now if choose him .
But gotta be NDombele or eriksen, hell I'd even have lamela alongside Sissoko
Tbh I'm struggling to see what people see in Sissoko, he's fucking shite if we're truthful with ourselves.

Sounds like the boys have dug deep. I can accept poor form but not lack of fight and it sounds like we have fought. Also seems like Dele perhaps is beginning to make his way back to form.

a draw is at least an improvement on the last two games though of course not what we wanted. The Poch our stuff is IMO still crazy and the alternatives mooted by some even crazier

Wonder which player they'll be rolling out for some token "we know we have to do better but we all believe in ourselves and know that we will fight through this" PR fig leaves on the OS this week. Dier's had his go, maybe Winks' turn now?

On today's performance think I'll have a bash at Liverpool to win by at least 4 goals next week.

Realism has well and truly kicked the shit out of optomism this afternoon.

We need change, I don't even think it's about personal now, Pochettino has had us playing terrible football for a long time. Too long.

Probably Kane while tooting his own horn.

We gave Leicester so much shit for falling away and now we're doing the exact same thing while they thrive. The only difference is that they came away with a Premier League trophy to show for it.

Colchester knew it, Brighton knew it, Watford knew it - all you have to do is press the hell out of us and we crumble.

Good goal. Shame it was handball.

Play 20 of them...it will be irrelevant..Liverpool are going to rip through us
I think anyone expecting anything from Liverpool with this team even with another manager is deluded. Our back line is so fucked and we don't have a DM. No manager could fix that without buying.

The fight was in the last 5 mins, we should’ve been 6-0 down already

Every sentence in this post is the exact opposite of reality

I've lost count how many games like this we've had, last 30mins crosses and corners in the box yet no plan B attacker who can come of the bench and get on the end of it. Even when we had llorente we didn't use him when we should have. Instead we persist with the same players who like to get on the ball yet can't break down the team infront of them.
