Positive performance

Dier was excellent at DM.
Bentaleb coming back to form
Delli added a lot of energy
Rose was good

The things we lacked we mostly have on the bench. Eriksen, Son, etc.

Levy, buy a striker asap!!!

No. But that sir was piss poor.

Dropped on the head as a baby? C'mon you must be able to do better than that.

If not you better off just sending me another misplaced gif.

I only make the effort with posters I give a fuck about. Not misty-eyed ex-pats.

Watch my local amateur team today saw 6 goals loads of action and enjoyed a game played at pace. Then watch this turgid slow paced game where it's vital not to lose and stick to a rigid 4-5-1. AVB and Poch have sucked the life out of this club. For god sake give Kane a partner and some service

Wait till after you watch the game.

Norwich have won a game. So have Bournemouth. We haven't, yet nobody seems worried by that. Even the Spammers have beaten Liverpool and Arsenal already.

We don't look capable of beating anybody in this state. Bentelab and Mason should be loaned out to the Championship, Chadli benched for a week to practice shooting and a new central midfielder with a stronger mentality signed.

No because we've been playing well. We're just lacking certain players in key forward positions to set the whole thing off properly.

Look at liverpool, bang average this season so far, they've scored, fine, but today the average caught up with them. The scum were lucky mitrovic got himself sent off or they would have been in trouble at the toon today imo, as well.

We've started well; we'll have a very good season once we integrate the good stuff.

Poch is conning himself if he thinks goals are gonna flow without introducing the dynamic elements we have.

You're better than this. Son was not available, and I presume Clinton is not fit, and ready to assimilate into Poch's plans. You know they will be involved when they are ready.

Mason played well enough up top, that I would not hesitate to play him over Pritchard when Eriksen is out. Pritchard needs a run of Europa/Cup games to show his abilities.

Kane needs to get his first goal and the rest should start flowing although I'm not optimistic that he'll
get as many as he had last season. With the two new pacy wingers, possibly one more striker,
plus players that can get goals (Pritchard & Alli), we should see more goals in the upcoming games.

would you truly fuck off you troll. been on here since feb and only throwing out troll shit. please, fuck off.


And you've possibly posted number 70 as a final one for some time if A&C reads your post.

No need for that kind of abuse on here no matter what a posters views are. None whatsoever.

If N'jie hasn't played yet then not sure when we'll be seeing son.

Trippier should have had a taste and Alli should have had more minutes by now, pritchard should have come on for us today on 60/70mins.

My love doesn't blind me. ;)

Good performance on the whole but lack of investment in key areas and poor choices... Both from players, management and officials cost us.

Bit of a bum result to sit on for two weeks but hopefully JL being at the game will see we need investment.

Dier looks combative in midfield and works as a destroyer, needs a quality partner though.

Kane looks stressed by the pressure on him and blew a few good chances.

Poor decision making all round from our lot when outside the penalty area... Could have been 4-0 to us on another day.

Onwards and upwards but can't help feeling we will look back on this run and think it should have been 9+ points not 3.

Also, shout out to the referee.. Another sterling performance from a premier league official.

Having JL at the game wont alter their stance on policy one bit imo, they have their way of working and it wont change.
Whether we agree or disagree is largely irelavant because they wouldnt listen to the likes of us, but today we did see that more quality is required in the final third.
Have to say before the game started i thought everton would win today but now after its finished its dissapointing that our finishing let us down a bit.

We should have won but it was not to be. We are missing that cutting edge. We need another striker on,., unfortunately, Kane is not having any luck.

I dont think chucking every single promising young player and new signing in the side all at once is necessarily a good idea. It kind of works in FIFA15 but its not that simple in reality. We've got a new CB and also Dier in a new role already dont forget.

With Rose starting, we already had a better team today than the previous three games.

Now to see if Poch starts Trippier over Walker soon.

Spot on with this mate. Everyone today basically played to their ability and had solid games. Just not creative spark. When those boys get going we'll be better. Just need the Kane back up and a quality cm I think.
