playing with such a high line with davies and dier on the same side of the pitch was a dumb ass decision from the off
That's is not why we are 2 nil down!!People can say all they want about us needing pace, but we really need someone who can string some passes and creativity.
Very disappointing.I cannot believe poch has set the team up this way when you can see what works against Liverpool it shows a bit of arrogance.
Completely disagree - it's the formation and tactics which are the problem.
Ridiculous decisionNo way is that a foul, Dembele just stronger.ffs
Wouldn't Lamela be on the right though?Davies being isolated shows how much we miss Lamela and his tracking back
Fuck sake Wanyama shoot
How is Lucas fooking Leiva manhandling 6ft3 Kane?
Kane's out muscled by fecking Lucas!!!
This is where our limited spending power really show.
Look what attackers with real pace AND techique can do. We see it here and against City. Sadly those players are expensive and/or on big salaries so we end up with Sissoko, N'ije, GKN, Son etch.
Its shit defending is why we are down. And lack of passing is why we are struggling to keep the ball.That's is not why we are 2 nil down!!
Part of the problem with this is Lloris and his kicking. It's quite unfortunate really as he's obviously a brilliant keeper otherwise.Our players can't handle being pressed. The blueprint of how to stop us was drafted up by West Ham last season. Poch has to learn to negate this by sitting deeper, playing on the break and being compact. The problem is, we don't really have the pace to counter attack.
