Missed the drive of Rose.

Would keep the back 3 and put on Moura for Lamela. Need someone that is cool with dribbling past this tight defense

Lucas & Son needed on at HALF TIME, we dont need to play 5 at the back vs a team relegation inbound.

The later poch leaves it to change it the more likely it is we will daw, he cant afford to let the clock tick

Because we're pushed up compressing the space and trying to force them in to making errors, which means we leave space for them to "do more with the ball" when they do have it.
we can expect better than that 45

at least at some point Moore will realise they need a goal and have to take some risks

Fucking hell, another half of atrocious football.

Feel like AVB has been manager this past month.

The mentality of the team has been really awful this year.

No one is grabbing the ball and the game and saying let’s fucking score.

I’m a Lamela fan but he’s been poor this half, sub him for Son/Lucas. Eventually if we haven’t scored we need to take off one of the CB.
Trippier has been poor, that pass to Kane was good but other than that he’s not challenged his opponent and his crossing has been meh. KWP should’ve started

Reverting to 4-2-3-1 could be dangerous, we need the right players to defend their direct football.

I'd leave it for now, change it up if nothing by 60 mins.

Think Poch should be given credit for trying something different here team-wise.

If Dele not in it could push him back and Eriksen further up?

Lamela, Alli and Kane not good enough in first half, hopefully they improve. We will score eventually, just need to not give away silly fouls to them.

Kane, Ali, Lamela and Eriksen anonymous that half.
Baffling that when we are so turgid up front and have 3 at the back that Lucas isn't on given he is the only player with real pace.

Done well to limit West Brom to very little, but it's hard to take that as such a good positive when we're creating very little ourselves as well.

We have wingbacks, but they're not exactly getting behind and inside and when they are in a position to cross, you can understand the hesitancy because it's only really Kane and Alli in the box going up against some giants. They're not providing to be enough of a threat.

If we are to stay in this setup, we need much more movement and willingness/ability to pick a pass.

We were better that half than we were against Watford but go on on level terms. Funny old game.
