Putting this on Poch book is bollocks. I just think players didn't believe we could win it this year (Wembley)

after 2 successive title challenges doesn't look like they've got the stomach for fight for top 4.

It's C league, FA cup or bust now.

It's a collective. Poch is guilty of shoehorning players that should have no right of commanding a starting berth. His subs have been relatively poor as well. What ever happened to our 4-2-3-1? Our pressing game that was the envy of the league? It doesn't go because the players say so...

I swear to fuck Llorente is one of 'those' players you can just guarantee will fail. Not necessarily everywhere, just with us. Pretty much everyone I discussed it with on deadline day said something along the lines of "he's not gonna score at all is he."

Starting to look like the last minute move it was with no thought into it. Yes we needed back up for Kane but like many of us said throughout the window we needed a dynamic player. One who can operate all along the front four. As soon as that didn't happen I had concerns on how out season would pal out.

The attack needed a slight refresh because players do get tired, players do get injured, players do lose form and when all that happens you need a fresh approach. And this is where Poch has failed IMO, he hasn't got a second option other than throw llorente on and hope he can cause problems with his aerial ability but we wouldn't ever be in that situation had we actually gone out and got that player we've been crying out for.

It has to be the priority now

Eriksen and Dele is our creative midfielders – they never get rotated – same goes for Kane. Can also add that some of the backup players isn't good enough (Sissoko, Nkoudou). We have been unlucky with the injuries on Wanayama and Lamela but still..

Who do we rotate Kane Ali and Eriksen for?

eriksen and llorente missing absolute sitters fucked us. You get paid 70k+ each week and you can't fucking score with an open net. Dele and sissoko's misses were almost as bad and finally the ref can fuck off. Utter fucking shambles when only two players can finish on this team

It's all part of a master plan. No Europe next year then we win the league for our first season in the new stadium...:cautious:








Why else would we be paying Sissoko:p
(Should be playing but still stands ;) )

Agree massively just not that the book has played a part.

Actually felt we were decent, finishing aside.

Very disappointing but at least Lamela gives us a different option.

Eriksen got the assist for Leicester’s 2nd, takes his time dicking around with ball with the clock running down in stoppage, then does a half assed chip pass to put them on the break, been fucking awful since Ireland match and needs dropped, disgusted with him

Someone mentioned it earlier.. it was criminal for Poch not to change the team at the start of the 2nd half.. the guys have had a go at Eriksen, Alli and Dier.. i wanna see Kane tone down on his selfishness and starts to play in his mates quicker, instead of trying to take an extra touch to set himself up for a shot everytime he's in and around the box..

We need to stop picking Sissoko, Rose and Aurier. All are absolute liabilities.

At the end of the window we were laughing that we had taken Llorente from under Chelsea’s noses. Not laughing anymore :cry:

Why are we not playing Alli as a cm?

It’s clear he is not good enough as a 10.

Surely he has to be better than sissoko in that position,which makes room to start son/lamela

WBA last week is the perfect example of why when he gave ball away for goal.
This is not a new thing, his all round game is pretty poor and has been since he arrived, but what masks it is an unbelievable ability to time runs to perfection and score goals. The first bit he can learn, he is only young, the second bit is harder to teach I guess.

Just seen a pic of Lamela after the game.

I'm not really sure what has happened, but it appears that his hip has snapped and he's now permanently stuck walking around at a 90 degree angle.
