I don't think it's been as bad as others are making out. This was never going to be a walk in the park against this lot. They are very well coached, but thus far they've lacked that quality cutting edge. I think we just need to be patient and our quality could shine though.
Tactically i'd switch Dier and Sanchez around and maybe we should consider Winks for Sissoko soon, their midfield is workmanlike but not particularly physically strong and Winks could help us to get out.
That may be so, but what's the excuse going forward then?We used to have a back 5 of Lloris, Walker, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Rose all at their peak, with Dembele in front of them
Today we have a back 5 of Gazzaniga , Aurier, Sanchez, Dier, Davies with Sissoko infront of them
Funny old game innit. Sometimes life comes at you fast.
Would take him off for winks and put Tanguy as a 10I don't know what frustrates me more about him at the moment, lack of effort, pulling out of any sort of physical 50/50s or the stupid fancy flicks inside our own half.
Yeah, so? We winning the Champions League next year are we?They will be for us next season.
Oliver?Skip this glass and give me the pitcher
We have good players but for some reason they haven't been playing well or good.It also helps when you have good players though.
The problem is transitioning the ball from defence to midfield to attack, definitely need a defender who can pass on and possibly Winks to keep the ball moving, not sure Alli for Lucas change would do anything, in fact it would probably make things worse.
What 7-2 Bayern MunichAwful half, Dier is one foul away from us being down to ten men so I think needs to be subbed. Dele’s been woeful, I’d drag him off for either Winks (to give us more of a foothold) or Sess (to pose a greater threat down the left).
What Poch will do is probably, well, nothing, and we’ll continue to be shit until the hour mark where Dier picks up another booking. I don’t understand how we’re so incredibly shit in the league when we see what this team is capable of in Europe.
We need Ndombele deeper to break their high press with his passing. Right now all of our technical ability is in the other half, while Dier, Sanchez, Sissoko are stranded in possession under their press in our half. Basic fucking tactics.
