Ndombele for me. At least he was positive with the ball and looked to move it forward everytime.

Aurier needs to just pack his bags and leave.

Sessegnon has also been a disappointment. Provides no impetus at all on that left flank.

We need a new RB and LB immediately. Thats the priority.

It’s obvious to see this is not about player A or player B. We’ve tried and tested, they’ve all failed in the same miserable way. Our problems run deeper. Fuck if I know what the actual problem is, but I don’t believe a squad with players running in the same direction and with belief in what they were trying to achive would make all the mistakes we do and play with so little passion game after game. I hope we CLEAN up as soon as possible, starting in january

Eriksen MOTM with Ndombele a close second.

Aurier 0. Get out of my club.

Dele 1. 1 for the through ball to Kane.

Everyone else between 2-5.

And a DM, this squad is fundamentally flawed. We can thank Poch and Levy for this shower of shite.

Everybody absolutely abhorrent with the exception of Ndombele who was average to good.

*edit* - Eriksen was also OK but theres zero point in talking about that mercenary little fairy.

Someone seriously needs to tell Aurier how to think and play like a professional footballer

Ndombele. Mom, played two positions, holding and driving us forward, not his fault most others around him were not on it.

Eriksen was my MOTM, Ndombele was poor first half, but decent second half. Anywhere between 0-2 for Dele, Aurier, Gazzaniga, Foyth and Jan

Defense is washed up and rubbish. Problems all started from the back with turnovers and bad marking. While our forwards didn't play great, they're still doing their job and scoring goals. It's our defenders that just can't stop conceding. Back line was horribly exposed on pace without Sanchez (who I thought put in a decent shift). Can't allow the worst team in the league to put 3 in the back of the net..

You could tell within 5-10 minutes this was going to be a struggle, zero intensity or appetite for the contest. Plus a new formation that had obviously been thrown together at the last minute, and the performance reflected that.

Kane and Alli up front could barely move, we basically started with 9 men.

Midfield was obviously hilariously unbalanced, and whenever Norwich showed a bit of urgency they went straight through us. Eriksen not perfect but was our best player by some distance, Ndombele got better as the game went on but was lucky not to get caught out badly a couple of times and I wasn't happy with his defensive work for either goal, not a DM but zero footballing sense for danger.

Defence was pretty bad today. Foyth gave the ball away for the opener but in all honesty I thought despite that he was still better than the two decrepit Belgians over the first half. Aurier was just.... Aurier.

Sessegnon and Lo Celso again just looked like two little boys lost. Timid in the extreme.

The subs weren't really any better. Sanchez seemed to spend most of the half heading the ball in the wrong direction and opened up a massive gap for the second goal, Moura just fucked around with the ball and made a ton of poor choices. Lamela was pretty Lamela but did nick the ball back in the build up to the penalty.

Another game though where we struggle when quick transitions and counter attacks aren't readily available. Had more possession today when Norwich shelled, but lacked ideas and sharpness in trying to probe for openings. The periods of the game they did come out and have a go, particularly first half, we again were unable to get any control on proceedings, and were too easy to play through. I'm just repeating myself game by game at the moment, but most aspects of play we just need to do much better.

NDombele by a country mile.

Eriksen was ok and only because everyone else was so poor. People will be blinded by his free kick and then how much he got on the ball. But he did nothing of note with it after that. Plus that corner at the end is criminal.

Aurier was Aurier and the sooner we upgrade there the better l, however, I strongly believe that CDM is our priority. Not only would the right player add cover to our extremely shaky and poor defence but they would be the perfect partner for NDombele to allow him the freedom to impose himself on the game. The right sort of player could see a partnership like Wanyama and Dembele at their peak.

DCM
RB
LB
CB

In that order.

Aurier more like au revoir. Need experience and fight in the middle. Replace Eriksen. He was MOTM
