"We aren't scoring"

When will ppl learn this team always have the ability to turn it around.

Yes the first 60 or so were very uninspiring but it was going to be with the original set up. Once the injured players return and we get the new players bedded in hopefully we won't have to see it again.

Where’s the ‘this one is on Poch’ guy?

In the first half it was on Pochettino for the woeful diamond formation in which the players didn't look like they knew what they were meant to be doing.

Changing it to 4-2-3-1 in the second half transformed the way we played so credit for the second half but why couldn't we have started with that?

Ndombele and triple captain Kane, I'll take that. Can't be having those female work colleagues who picked Sterling because he 'so cute' rub it in on Monday.

We totally deserved the win but it was soooo typically frustrating fir 70 odd mins. Then Eriksen changed the match when he came. But ffs, how much better do we looked with 4231? Moura and Lamela hugging the touchline gives Kane more space to move around.

Poch really is crazy with the diamond stuff - it’s just so unbalancing!

4-2-3-1, it ain’t rocket science...

I don't think there's anyone that disagrees with this.

It must be a long term project and maybe it'll work one day, but at the moment it's like Chinese water torture.

Can't work out why our general application and effort drops so much when we play it though.

great persistence from the lads, much better once we didn't have sissoko and winks on the pitch together, needs to be one or the other. Eriksen was class when he came on. harsh on winks to be subbed but something needed to happen, just frustrating poch waits so long to fix something that's broken, credit for getting it right when he finally did

God we’re gonna be fucked when Eriksen leaves
I'm choosing to be positive.

If he stays I think there is a genuine chance of the league. And I think there's still a chance he does, he hasn't left yet anyway and didn't look like he didn't want to be here. He was celebrating the goals.
