Well, this hasn't been helped by the absence of Toby, Sanchez and Wanyama. Three of our four best defensive assets. Dier is terrible at the back. Moreover, Tripps and Rose have both humiliated themselves today with mutually awful displays. The debate is over... Right now, Davies and Aurier are our best defensive full backs. They should have started.
I think the problem hasnt been dier at the back.its been nobody doing diers job properly in midfield

This Spurs team has peaked?! Discuss.
Dembele has.
Trippier isn't good enough for the level we aspire to.
Winks isn't there yet.
Dier and Dele are not as good as they think they are.

MoPo and "stick to the belief of playing from the back" against a team like Citeh is plainly stupid and not recognising our weaknesses during games and changing it - has me questioning him for the first time. If he spouts that Man Citeh are so "effing good" because of their ability to buy players - I will turn a further degree against him.
We bought shit recently.
We have no plan B.
They are managerial failings.

...and the one footballer on the field for us makes the diagonal ball I was talking about. Well done Lamela. You have shown in 10 minutes more than anyone else.

This isn't about team selection, tactics* or attitude. This is about Man City being lethal going forward and us not gelling at the moment as an attacking force, plus having key defensive injuries.

Lamela is a good player but the idea that he would have changed the course of the game is, I'm afraid, highly questionable. Likewise pretty much all our players have struggled today and it's hard to believe that any of Aurier, Davies or Sissoko would have made a big difference.

*except for the short goal kicks - can't do that when you don't have 3 centre backs!

It’s not only our defence that is shocking, our attack has been useless once again vs the big teams away this season
