Can we just delete this iteration and go back to the start of summer - when it was obvious we needed 2-3 players.

I absolutely hate it when we go three at the back. It just doesn't work for us. We saw it against Chelsea and we have seen it again today. Utter confusion and lack of belief.
Besides for the fact Poch changing to 3 at the back against Chelsea changed the game

Pls dont risk to put any of Winks Rose or Lamela on. We need them for more important matches

haha, Connor Wickham has scored his first goal in all competitions since November 2016 (v Manchester City), 799 days ago.

KWP: not a left back - he's so one footed it's painful to watch, just play him on the right and get Trippier off ffs and on that note...
Trippier: just f*** off you ***t
NKoudou: absolute joke that he's somehow found himself back in our match day squad, even if he did fluke an assist against Fulham
Llorente: he should have stepped up for the penalty, the coward

Spot on mate. It worked when we had rose and walker bombing down the wings and dembele bossing CM on his own with Eriksen and Dele or Son/Lamela behind Kane but when you have fucking trippier and kwp at wing back, 2 bang average sideways passing slow CM’s and a shit LAM + slow as fuck striker it’s bound to fail.

We play vs a side bottom side fielding their reserve defense and other than a couple set pieces we create nothing. We're such a horrible side when a few key players are missing.

The quicker Levy and Enic pack their bags the better imo. It's so clear every penny gets pocketed or put into infrastructure fattening us up for a sale... ?

There's one thing every commerically succesful team has in common. They win trophies. It's fun and it's good to watch. What kind of fucking lunatic tuning into the Premier League from America or India for the first time right now would decide to support a team that doesn't even particularly want to win a cup?! It was one thing when we were up-and-coming, but this is totally stagnant.
Mate I agree but we can't win trophies can we I see poch mentioned in regards to bill Nick that it takes time, now I love poch but he is trying to make excuses for in his 5 years in charge we have lost 1 final and another 3 semi-finals to not get past any of them is abysmal.
Now I know you can't win every game but any high pressure game and we seem to just flounder or he makes strange changes like playing son at LB two seasons ago against Chelsea I mean WTF was that about.

Don't think Son is going to get that much needed rest in Wednesday...

I think you use it if you have the correct personnel and if you think it's a way of getting at the opposition and pinpointing weaknesses.

This line up, no way.

Look - Trippier is a dead ball specialist - he just hit a bad Pen.

There are lots of problems in the squad now - trippier starting at RB is a bigger problem than Trippier taking pens.

I still think with the right subs we can get back into this game I'd absolutely bring Winks and Lamela on at this point. Speroni is awful and we need to actually ask him some questions. We're still in this.
