Amazingly, only 3 points off top.

Still, poch needs to have serious words with himself. He's making significant tactical mistakes here.

Eriksen must have some Photo's on Poch or something, was shit again. Why he didn't bring on GKN for Erisken in the 60/70th minute is beyond me.

Solid team performance but the AMs not inventive enough, Alli the only one getting in some dangerous postions.

Silly error gave them their goal, Janssen i thought did very well, freekick was way better than Eriksen has done for months and that spin and shot that just went wide.

We need Lamela in our team, Isco would really fucking sort us out. If Eriksen starts our next game its a joke.

I love Danny Rose.

I wish Vertonghen would go forwards more like he used to, such a dangerous player.

Winks is positive and tries to move play forwards and I like him.

N'Koudou back to being impressive again, can actually beat a man and put a dangerous ball into the box.

Janssen finally got himself in some positions to work some shots and this was probably his best performance for us. Unlucky not to get a couple.

It's a shame we only bothered to start playing properly with ten minutes to go.

Leicester are a bunch of fucking lucky thug ****s and are quickly heading to the top of my most hated list. Fans are absolute wankers too.

Our attack, minus Kane, is around mid table level right now.

Please Poch, next window, buy an attacker with guile and creativity.

How good must Kane be? Scoring so many with that lot behind him!!!

Kane wasnt doing shit all either.

The problem is going forward we are pretty fucking awful, unless the opposition does us the favour of coming out to play because they are trying to win or are behind we have no idea what to do going forward.

We dont create anything for our striker and everyone behind him wants to take 5,6,7 touches for no reason at all before they ever release the ball.

Usually a point against the champions is a decent result but 3 points from our last 3 games is shit to be blunt.

Going to be hard to watch next week. There's a set of fixtures to be carrying poor form in to.

Kane can't return quick enough

That simply was not good enough and Poch needs to say that and not pleased with performance, these players need a serious kick up their arse

Poch needs to start learning too re subs, it has been an appalling few weeks and we have dropped 6 points, we are also 1 point down on these 3 games from last year

The unbeaten run, I couldn't give a shit about, would rather we won 2 of these 3 games and lost one, we would be 3 points better off.

At the last int break we were 5 points up on last season after 7 games, this has now dwindled and lose next weekend which we will, and we will be worse off then we were after 11 games last year.

Just plain boring shit today!

Not looking forward to the NLD next week, especially as I'll be in the home end.

I must be mental.

Glad there are no boos. We need Kane back and need him hungry for goals. Also desperate for an attacking midfielder who can change a game. Get the chequebook out Levy.

Absolutely pathetic going forwards, as always this season.

Leicester 1-1: Dodgy penalty.
Liverpool 2-1: Dodgy penalty.
Bournemouth 0-0: Nothing.
Leverkusen 0-0: Nothing.
West Brom 1-1: Decent goal.
City 0-2: Own goal and decent goal.
CSKA 0-1: Shot dribbled under goalkeeper.
Boro 1-2: Bailed out by Son.
Sunderland 0-1: Deflected cross set up a tap in.
Monaco 2-1: Corner.
Stoke 0-4: Good attacking display.
Liverpool 1-1: Decent goal.
Palace 0-1: Corner.
Everton 1-1: Decent goal.

Overall a really pathetic season from our attackers, Son aside.

That was absolute tripe again. How fucking slow do we move the ball from side to side, I swear Poch has found AVB's old tactic book in his desk drawer and bizarrely decided they look like a good way to play. Eriksen, when you need him most just goes completely invisible and offers nothing whatsoever.

The amount of times we have a throw in and wait for the full back to come and take it whilst allowing the opposition to all get back into their position is criminal.

Oh and Leicester City champions of England? fuck right off they are just as bad as West Brom.

Only by genuine bell-ends.

Not by bell ends. I don't believe he used the summer window wisely, taking advantage of our CL position. We needed 2 strikers inho. We sign one with question marks. We needed final third creative threats with sparks, at least 2. We sign unproven GKN with question marks. That is where the problem is.

Leicester's first point away this season gives us an indication of their quality. Our lack of quality in the final third abundantly obvious. Do we train to just shoot from distance or do we work on other options? Why was Son on the right? Why can't Eriksen take corners? Why didn't Poch change things sooner? The questions go on...

And I can't say it again because this is getting criminal;

drop Christian Eriksen

This guy is wasting all the faith put in him and space given to him to create opportunities and/or open up spaces but he did fuck nothing on all these
I'm not Eriksen's greatest fan - though absolutely appreciate the good things he's done for us - but it's now clear that he has to be played central and deep. Or at least has to be told to consistently come deep and pick the ball up and develop our game.

He's not being maximised.
