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?


True. I’m sure on Instagram etc there will be the obligatory shirtless pic of “insert player here” on a running machine etc with

Well, what a day.

There are some positives, though...

...erm... I've got a nice lasagne baking in the oven.

That's all I can think of right now.

Sissoko is awful.

The clear problem is having Eriksen being our creative outlet and not giving a shit for us. If it's Lo Celso long term then cool but it means we look short of ideas until he gets up to speed. Investment is a must. Going to need another 1 or 2 midfield/attack players in and defence needs the chequebook open too

Mate, Poch is clearly very culpable in all of this but I just don't believe the blame is all his.

Yeah totally. But unfortunately the buck has to stop with the manager - at some point.

What worries me there is no sign of anything changing regarding tempo and urgency.

We've been stale for months.

Fucking shocking performance again.

Don't put it ALL on Poch though. Some of these players are simply playing fucking awful. Making far too many basic errors, playing half arsed, and are getting let of the hook.

Liverpool next week's a frightening thought.

Can only think they are going to sell Sissoko in the summer. Why else would he get a four year contract.

So we manage to salvage a point at home to bottom of the table. I guess we got to be happy with that considering the state we are in at the moment.

Cant wait for the next international break.

If that had been any other team than Watford they’d have put us to the sword the with chances we gifted them. The CM and back line were absolutely shocking. Poch’s team selection and tactics were a disgrace, he’s got to go.
How many chances did we allow them in the grand scheme of things? Poor goal conceded but other than that, how many other clear cut chances did we allow them? Think about it. I am not saying there were not more chances, but there was not the avalanche of chances as your post seem to suggest

How many times did they scythe through the midfield and have 2-v-2 or 3-v-3 with our back line? I think there was one break in the second half that was a 4-v-2. You're right that they didn't manage to get many shots away but that's because their attackers played the ball behind the man they were trying to find or overdribbled. We were wide open today, if we give Liverpool that many breakaways it'll be a Bayern-esque score. We were saved by the incompetence of their attack.

Pochettinho is playing players that should of left time ago, time again he is being let down.

We get rid of Pochettinho someone else comes in all the players hit top form What does that say.
Levy has to back the manager
What? So the manager not being able to get the best out of these players is proof that he should be backed? What kind of logic is that?
