The way we have set the team up has played right into West Hams hands, we are being far too conservative, lots of possession but not moving the ball fast enough.

Sissoko and Dier have been awful both of them need subbing off.
Yeh, let’s go fully on Ossie Ardiles

Quite a few have been guilty of it but in particular Davies, dier & sissoko’s first touch is generally backwards. A real lack of awareness of when you can get the ball on the half turn. Dele has been poor on the ball as well. Son has done well and I think it blows apart the fallacy that pace doesn’t help against teams that sit back.

Poch hasn’t made any changes again.... looks like we have to wait until the 65-70 minute

Kane might be better to drift deeper and wide at times with son going central just to bedazzle a bit

I just don't fucking understand the Sissoko thing at all, he must be fucking Maradona in training to get picked for games, and Sissoko and Dier together is terrible. There's no metronomic presence in there to keep things ticking, even in an unadventurous way, just at all. Dier and Sissoko hide from our defenders when trying to play out and Sissoko hides from the attackers when we are up their end. He's constantly just parking himself next to one of there defenders, and god forbid the ball finds it's way to him, he treats it like it's like a fucking grenade.

Dier's passing is so rudimentary. It's just baffling that we've got Wanyama and Winks on the bench but we get these two is CM.

Poch has to do something at HT, watching these two fucking amble about like insipid turtles is Chinese water torture.
It's no wonder we struggle to break down defensive teams when we have a complete lack of guile in the team, save for Eriksen. It's why someone like Isco would absolutely transform our side.
