Individual errors were the only reason we were in the game...Individual errors cost us today had the game won at HT.
At least city get closer to the gooners
Another tiny bit of comfort we have a team that has some elite players and some shocking players which means there can be quick improvements
It's easier to get to a top level with a team like that rather than a team of 11 average players
The following 9 are good enough to be in our best 20 as long as if any don't perform they get dropped
Romero
Bentancur
Bissouma
Hojberg
Son
Kulusevski
Kane
Richarlison
Perisic
Add youngsters such as Udogie, Sarr, Gill, Skipp, Spence and bin the rest
Sack off these 15
Lloris
Forster
Doherty
Emerson
Sessegnon
Reguilon
Dier
Lenglet
Davies
Sanchez
Tanganga
Lucas
Rodon
Ndombele
Lo Celso
? I just woke up. Did I miss anything?It times like this that I wish I could just fast-forward a couple hours and move on with life.
LOOOL
Generally agree with this but:
Forster - has done little wrong - fine for a 2nd choice GK
Dier, Davies, Doherty - probably OK for backup /squad members as we can't replace that number of players but they shouldnt be in the first XI, particularly Dier.
Would get rid of all the rest
I’d add PEH as soon as the panic sets in he amplifies it.
Thats mad, he has no future Spurs regardless of manager.
Exactly. He needs to play as LWF for us, not a sodding LWBPerisic cannot defend (end of) does not have the legs.
Exactly why Conte played Sess against Scum, but he underperformed.
Perisic is there for his attacking ability and crossing, but when we start defending a lead then he's not your man.
no game plan can save this lot.. it's criminal. It's so bad that I can't even blame royal. Dier is the most invisible defender ever. He's just a traffic cone that belches and you wonder why conte doesn't press, the other players have to cover these numptiesSad thing is you can almost see what we could be, if we didn’t destroy ourselves.
Said it after the Arsenal game, there isn’t any game plan we can carry out without machine gunning our own tits off.
Spot on. He's not good enough. Very limited playerHow to be Hojbjerg;
*Wave your arms around passionately*
Then put your team under pressure with a shit pass.
*Shout at a team mate*
Then let the opposition player drift into space behind you.
Repeat and add the odd *snarl at ref* when you think it appropriate after losing a 50 50 again.
I agree I thought we played pretty well and looked like we could get more goals but our defence is so poor and with the class of the city players it was always on that they would score. We have to change the whole back 4 or 5 and although most wont agree I include Romero in that. I think he's a liability in tackles and most of the time he just strolls around often being to far forward and many times leaving us exposed at the back. His style of play is casual and you get the impression that it's classy but it's not effective as a defender. The other defenders are just very poor and certainly not PL class and need to go but you wont get rid of in this window and maybe even the next. I believe we have enough class up front and the MF needs one more but the whole of the defence has to go but we all know it's unlikely to happen.First half we did.
I thought the 5mins before our 2 goals we looked fragile at the back, and it just shattered 2nd half.
Possibly due to Bentancur not being fully fit yet.
