But seriously today showed once again how badly we need a DM and a RB. Aurier is a liability and Winks isn’t a DM, his defensive positioning is awful


Jose should’ve made changes earlier on, luckily Arsenal are shit

But honestly today I only care about the three points, hopefully Jose will banter Arsenal in the press conference
We heard this for West Ham, Everton and Bournemouth to an extent. This idea that we were only getting clean sheets because the other team couldn't create enough blablabla. The way we defend makes teams like like that, and Aurier and Winks are actually part of that.

You know we didn’t keep a clean shit right?

Games like today show why Sissoko is useful. You know you're going to get a disciplined performance and his bursting runs are very useful - strong as an ox too.

We can't rely on him in the weaker games and when defences sit deep but a game like today and he's very useful.

Totally agree. He should start the bigger games.

I'd love to see Jose use him like Fergie used Park. A tactical selection for a big game where his discipline and running could be key. Would come in fresh as well.

But when the onus is on us to create against a low block he shouldnt be anywhere near the starting eleven.

Didn't watch the match, how did we play, who played well?
I didn't watch it either but followed through this thread. We did OK in the first half, although several of our players took absolute coatings. We were crap in the second half and didn't look like winning. Pretty much every player should have been substituted and it wasn't anywhere near good enough. Nobody came out of it with much credit, Mourinho was a **** for not making changes when the thread demanded it and it was all much the same as previous match threads with each player taking it in turns to have the **** spotlight turned on them.

And then we scored. That soothed the inner beast and I swear we were not far off a chorus of "ole", everyone was happy except one or two people who must really have shit lives, who had to be slimy and begrudging toward our manager.

What you have to ask is if Jose gets who he wants will we be affective and be a strong side with his tactics ! The answer is probably yes we will be so we need levy to back him this summer 2 full backs and a proper dm and this team become a lot better

Its a big ask but we need a new RB, LB, DM and striker to take the strain off of Kane. The balance at the moment in the team is shocking, these signings would rectify that.

After Bournemouth you would take this everytime beating the Scum and Spammers since the restart always sweet Mourinho certainly knows how to buy time and from hearing 2nd half very much smash and grab from us. Their defence is definitely their undoing long may it continue.

Extra sweet watching that AFTV motley crew fall apart after taking the lead brilliant viewing (y) when we took the lead the pie muncher in the corner's reaction had us in stitches lol
