He’s been the only fucker putting in a shift!

He isn't really. He has just chased a few lost causes. I just cannot believe a man with such a lack of technical ability is a premier league footballer, was Dean Austin as bad as Sissoko technically?

Even if we disregard our unusual line up today, we are not playing our normal game. I think the players are afraid of getting injured and missing out on the upcoming big games as well as the state of the pitch, which isn't the quality of pitch that the team is used to playing on. Look at how the players are trying to avoid 50/50 challenges and hastily booting the ball away.

Those criticising poch who should he have played that he's not playing?

Son? Alli? Sanchez?

Three at the back, Dier in a back 3, Wanyama in midfield alongside Dembele, Trippier and Davies as wingbacks and Son and Kane up top with Alli?

It is not about the team he's picked but the mentality displayed by the team. The team being fielded should comfortably beat Newport.

It’s both imo. Fact is a lot of the players in our squad can’t play one or two touch football and we need to because they are closing us down like demons, as you would expect.

Plus the 3 at the back isn’t working.

They’ll all miss out on the big games given their performances so far!

Not one shot on goal. Not ONE. From the managers team selection. To the players selected. They’ve all just completely embarrassed the club. Absolutely fucking fuming. The only positive is that there is still 45 minutes left. Problem is I don’t feel this team looks like it has the bottle. Let’s see.

If we lose this may as well poke out my eyes and tear my ears off. The media shitstorm will be unbearable, we’d be a laughing stock.

Poch has literally picked the 10 most uncreative players at the club plus Kane.
Its still a good enough team to beat Newport.

Thing is you have to earn the right to play, which means matching Newports effort, fight and workrate. We haven't.
