When we always played better after conceding a goal, it really just meant the mentality of the lads, and perhaps Mourinho too, are still so raw and weak.

We have nine games to find the right balance in midfield for next season.

Whilst I was happy with the performance in part, Kane’s performance was an absolute fucking joke. Potentially the worst he’s ever played for us.

First half was excellent, second half very poor. Dier's performance very encouraging because we're in desperate need of a consistent partnership.

It's fair to say our problems are glaring at us.

I thought for large parts the defensive structure was better, much better.

But you're always going to have problems when the likes of Aurier can't do the basic tasks of not losing the ball easily in dangerous positions and Winks is incapable of screening a defence.

Kane and Son clearly need a run of games as they are so far from being match fit. Both were slow on the ball, stretching after loose touches - very rusty.

Bergwijn on the other hand was sharp.

I thought the strategy would have worked if we had someone screening rather than Winks and Lo Celso as the creative spark.


Sorry i keep hearing about players - our players didnt decide to camp in our own 18 yard box

Our manager did - fuck Jose... pathetic and cowardice. This is cowardice tactics.... we are THFC we are bigger than what we are showing. Am I going fuckin senile or what... what the fuck... im so angry because id expect a bit more in terms of showing you know... 'TO DARE IS TO FUCKING DO'

Dier played well, Sanchez had a much better 2nd half, Aurier had a very good 70 mins but then deteriorated. Davies was steady and improved as the game went on. Overall I think our defence played well.

What cost us 3 pts was the persistence to keep a passenger in Kane on the pitch and not to beef up the midfield whilst keeping options up top for the counter.
hmm its a difficult one. I think Jose made the right change a little bit too late, and we actually weathered the barrage after that change. what we needed was more decisive attacking play, trying to look for outballs rather than simply clearing it, try to play a bit for possession rather simply to counter and not concede a soft penalty. Ithink it was soft but Dier needs to be a bit more clever there, even though ignoring the penalty he actually had a very good game.

Organisation and work rate was fantastic. Some of our best players didn't look sharp at all and still some glaring weaknesses in midfield that were badly exposed by Pogba. We need new personnel in there no matter how much training we do.
