Oh man, just saw Son interview by SpursTV and he really sounded so sad and disappointed for only getting one point despite scoring the screamer. Almost wanna cry. What a player.

Taking the ref out of the equation?Citeh don’t seem to have any problems at the moment and we didn’t last season
Woke up in a good mood as it’s Friday and then I remembered the football, ages to wait until our next Premier League game to set it right as well!
I actually think it’s both. Good tactics but also having a good football brain, being able to execute the mangers direction in the heat of the game and making little tweaks as required during the game. I’m am sure Poch puts his game plan out there each half but are players like Dier Sissoko Davies etc able to execute as well?City do have better quality players, that makes a lot of difference, but I go back to attacking structures and patterns of play..... They also do this better, quite a lot better. If player A is dropping off for instance then player B is running in behind, or if one has come inside the other takes the space vacated on the outside etc etc.
That's a tactical thing and down to coaching and drilling the awareness and pattern play into the players. They just have better structures to fall back on. This is definitely where, in my opinion, we need to evolve our game.
well yeh with your comment mostly........What did sissoko say ? Was he disappointed ?
We also one last week on a clear bad off side decision I think it’s the luck of the draw and I’m not sure those decisions were nailed on to be fair.Poch always takes the moral high ground with refs etc but Fergie and other top managers would have bee putting pressure on match officials weeks ago for never giving Ali any fouls or particularly penalties. It is possible to still show respect and get the message across.
As guess it’s obvious that Poch thinks in the center he thinks Sissoko can drive forward take on players and create space by attracting others to him, problem is he doesn’t. Sissoko must be brilliant at this in training and Poch has blind faith he is gonna make something happen.Mate we didn't need two ball winners to win the ball when we had 75 per cent possession lol, that's the whole point.
Poch made a mistake by playing both of them, and after seeing West Ham's team he could of tinkered, which was exceptionally defensive looking.
I'm not blaming Dier and Sissoko but Poch should of at least addressed the mistake at HT and taken Sissoko off, dropped Eriksen back and brought Lamela on.
The point is that would of increased our chances of breaking them down more cleanly.
The chances you're referring to where not that great in truth as we never had enough time and Space in and around their box.
What we needed was more guile to create better quality chances and disrupt their shape more.
They were happy to let us have the ball so why on earth reduce your quality on the ball by having two defensive minded midfielders when we're not having to compete that hard in the middle to win the dam thing.
Tactically we were flawed tonight and what made it worse was Poch just sittIng there failing to address it and not playing the percentages to increase our chances of winning the game.
Then they score and then he reacts, simply way too late.
And thats coming from.a Poch disciple!!
Love him, but definitely got that wrong tonight, big time.
If he didn't bang on about this being on Poch, **** off Sissoko, slag off the starting line up and substitutions then he was faking itOh man, just saw Son interview by SpursTV and he really sounded so sad and disappointed for only getting one point despite scoring the screamer. Almost wanna cry. What a player.
After that Arsenal game he shouldn’t have touched another one of our games this season, he was trying so hard to prove he wasn’t favourable towards us that he ended up being favourable to the other team and gifted them a goal which changed the entire game.
Sissoko and Dier were not the reason we didn't win. Poch is culpable for playing them in the first place, and even so he should have substituted them way before he did. I am angry at Poch, not Sissoko or Dier. They didn't pick themselves.
