And Werner?Maddison didn't create much for 85 minutes - he wasn't going to suddenly switch it on when he was facing a defence that's entrenched.

I have a hard time debating anyone who disagrees with this.A few inevitable injuries and you're immediately down to youngsters and seemingly unwanted players. The club's squad building was its own choice. I hope they don't try and act innocent if this December period continues on like this.
And it almost physically hurts me to say but Son is near the end, certainly at Tottenham.
What's the point in getting angry at anyone. They looked spent.
It wouldn't be so bad if that were the case, but we aren't actually progressing any 'project'. We're just desperately trying to patch up a team week after week from those who are exhausted, mildly injured, chronically low on form, or 12 years old.Same old. One week good, one week bad. I accept we will be inconsistent while working out our project....
He’s as frustrating as Conte, Nuno, and Mourinho with his team selections and especially subs.Clever from Ange taking off our only decent attackers on the day, and leaving all the dross on. Clearly saving them for midweek...![]()
There was plenty he could have done. Spence for Porro, Bergvall or Gray earlier, Lankshear for Son, leaving Werner on. Ange was passive when we needed energy.I guess that’s what you get when you have the depth of squad we have. I’m sure Ange is going to get heaps but not sure what else he could have done. We worked hard and for me it was a lack of quality rather than effort or tactics today.
He is in substitute/occasional start territory possibly.One of those games where you realise why we spent £60m on Solanke.
Then Gray should of started for Porro.It's because Gray is a much better prospect and we are better off giving him minutes tbh
Not sure about that, we smashed city last week, when we looked like world beaterswe look nothing more than a mid table team
Press just doesn’t work effectively with Son up front his pressing is reactive, we really didn’t have the legs to sustain any pressing today.We are very average and 8-10 is where this team belongs in my opinion, when you never can string 2 good matches together, it shows. Either this team have insanely intense training sessions every day or they are just lazy.
As the sheer lack of pressing and intensity looks like a team either not capable to run or they do not bother for their manager
And that backfired by botching it at the death....Really was a terrible performance.
The lack of rotation against Roma, knowing there was Fulham on Sunday was surprising. Need to make use of the squad.
Should have been moved on last summer.Can we finally acknowledge that Son might not be good enough anymore?
We'd beat anyone in the league if there was an agreement to "just play football, mate" but unfortunately there are 15 or 16 teams in the league who would actually just quite like the points, thanks, and they reliably make us look like total dross.Not sure about that, we smashed city last week, when we looked like world beaters
Aye we can't always play dross like, uh, Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.We'd beat anyone in the league if there was an agreement to "just play football, mate" but unfortunately there are 15 or 16 teams in the league who would actually just quite like the points, thanks, and they reliably make us look like total dross.
