Match Threads Spurs vs Villa - Match Thread

Anybody got a video of KWP's reaction to the 2nd goal? Drops to his knees in celebration.

NO MORE DIAMOND POCH!!!

I swear every time we have played that formation we look clueless and yet he persists. I’m hoping once we have Lo Celso, Alli and Son back he will never play it again!

Death threats incoming from the Scousers to wingnut.

 

[Shadydan]

Not in the squad for "tactical" reasons.

Spoke out against the diamond

Post match presser: Looking happy

It was amazing! Loved the stadium. Blagged a disabled lift up to level 5 and then it was a short climb up the stairs. Steep though. View is fantastic even from up there.

Hated the ref, thought he was going to spoil my first game in the new stadium.

And you managed to get called a **** by the old man in front

I'm gonna get some stick at the Newcastle game now

 

[Phomesy]

Haven’t seen the game as in Paris but the result tells me Poxh’s diamond formation is clearly a winner. Nice one Poch

Come on, spill the beans...

I wasn't there, you'll have to ask Mike

Really can’t be fucked with it now. So many negative old ****s who slag players off constantly but don’t get behind the team.

Pretty sure we won today, not that you'd think it in here.

I’m talking about at the game but ye. It’s just not enjoyable. I’d rather stay in The Ship or Beehive tbh.

I haven't experienced it around me yet, but we'll see what the Newcastle game is like.

It’s just boring to be honest. Right next to the away fans but you wouldn’t know it. All good once we scored of course ?

Some stats: Shots/On target/ Goals

Liverpool 15/7/4
City 14/9/5
Spurs 31/7/3

It's an old problem for us that still remains.

Not to mention corner kicks. We had about 15 and VILLA was closing scoring on the counter that we were at scoring on the corner kick ?

 

[Ekmek]

KWP had a goo game. Ndombele looked really sharp after scoring, unlocked some tricks. He really benefited from Eriksen coming on, droping deeper. Winks was good. Rose had a poor game and so did Lucas and Lamela to some extent.

MOTD basically said without saying the exact words that the diamond was horseshit and as soon as we abandoned it, we played a lot better.

I just hope Poch sees it the same way, because it's certainly not the first time we've look hopeless with it, when will he for the most part abandon it?
It's not even going forward in which we look poor in it, but defensively we look vulnerable too. The flow of football in 4-2-3-1 is just miles better and our best player in Kane is much better in it too.

It's boring as shit sometimes. The guy who sits 2 seats from me and is a legit **** genuinely said "Poch might as well fuck off after this game, no idea how to manage a game" about 30 seconds before he brought on Eriksen which changed the game.

The old ****s who moan at everything might want to take a minute to remember just how many first team players were missing today.

From what I've read he pretty much blamed himself for first half because of how he set us up so fingers crossed it's dead. I don't see who he benefits, maybe the second striker being central? but for key moments surely they can drift inside.
