As soon as poch found out they literally have grandad at CB he should have set up to have sonny stick to him - seen as though he insistd on starting him and not resting him (like huh??) - and wait for balls to be knocked behind.

Not sure why you'd come here and play our most turgid formation which encourages side-to-side and back all day long.

Very, very odd.


I think our formation is very much down to fitting in as many of the players in the squad who are not going to play vs Chelsea

Skipp was very quiet. No-one really shining - perhaps Youth. Not a lot to say. Quite like Dele playing a bit deeper.

Yep. Poch also getting fitness into Aurier I expect. Hence the overload of defenders.

Don't mind it tbh. Like seeing KWP, Foyth, Skipp out there.

We should be paying 4231 and raping 'CB grandad' at every oppo.

Instead poch's set us up to meander around all day with the shape that makes us constipated.

Again Tranmere.

This is why it's better he stays here and doesn't go to Madrid or Manure. Why?

Because he just not ready.

He's not a mature enough manager yet to manage such clubs.

Still needs to sharpen his tools.

He gets away with a lot of stuff with us he simple would not at other top tier clubs who are far more demanded than we are.

The south american lads have been poor today, especially Foyth and Lucas.

Dele has been good, Skipp and KWP ok. Game should be dead and buried.

Tranmere are terrible, when I was younger I use to like the underdog with a point to prove and British pundits always push this angle. The sad truth is that Tranmere are nowhere near as good as Spurs and should be comfortably beaten, if for any reason Tranmere come through this, it will be down to some half arsed performances from our lads or blind luck.

Maybe I am old and cynical but the reality is there is no magic, just cock ups. They keep pushing the story of their centre half, former Liverpool academy centre back who ate all the pies and continues to be captain and a leader. What sort of example is he setting for the youngsters? Look, you can piss your career down the drain and eat and drink like a local builder and still make it at Tranmere.

What a story!

Also what is it saying if the lower league club beats one of the big boys, it's basically saying I can't be assed much in my league but when Spurs come I can become Paolo Maldini, a lack of profesionalism I would call it.

These adverts for the army know exactly what type of recruit they’re aiming for.

Normally when you say how bad a team were you counter act that with but let’s give credit to the other team but in this case you have to just say how bad were Tranmere?

Not sure which is worse... this pitch or the one at Newport? Both pretty awful.
That said, some of our play has been turgid. A few players out there just going through the paces. Gotta make Poch mad as hell when he sees some of the fringe players essentially not putting enough effort in.
Most positive thing to come outta that half was Skipp's performance. He's been good. As has Foyth.
