Poch wouldn't be picking them if they were.
I think if he dropped them all it would cause more problems than it is worth but I do think those 3 are ‘bad eggs’ mabye not dier but his head has for sure been turned. Also we have no one else.

This season 2 things:
1) Wembley has fucked us
2) The team spirit is not the same as last season. Rose fucked up ans dele and dier look like their heads have been turned.

Still picked Kyle Walker last season even when his head was turned so technically not true because we have nobody else.
He was 2nd choice and barely played at the end of the season.

He knows his mate in Manchester wants him hes such a boring style Jose player it hurts

I'd let him go for circa 60 million .
Good to have a utility player in the squad and he can be quite good, but isn't good enough to get in the strongest 11 .
Only trouble is we'd spend that 60 on more garbage like janssen, sissoko, n'garbage and llorente so better to keep actually

How bad are we at corners! It seems like a huge percentage of the goals we concede come from the few corners we give away, and yet we score so few from the vast number we get.

Mate it's not the result that's the issue. It was our performance both individually and as a team that the fans are pissed off at.

Clearly not focused, causing too many basic mistakes.
Lack of effort from some of them.
Poor tactically and no attempt to address the issues that were so clear from the first ten minutes.

City are a great team no doubt about it, but we sure did help them today. They could have had 6-7 had Sterling had his shooting boots on.


It’s City putting us under so much pressure that causes basic mistakes

I didn’t see poor tactics. I saw 1 team clearly superior to another in virtually every position.

After 10 mins it was 0-0 so you don’t change anything. Even at 0-1 into the 2nd half you don’t change things away v City

Yeah they could have had 7. Shit happens

Yes it was very disappointing but how many supporters with a brain really thought we’d get anything today

Lol just thinking back to the game I frikkin love lamela and his attitude. We score a consolation in stoppage time and he runs and picks the ball up like we can still make a comeback:D
He never gives up

Dier would fit in at my local goals

As they've just introduced walking football(y) he'd be all over that.

Lamela the only positive in a night of little to get excited by.

The games come thick and fast now and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.

If only other players had the same mentality.

Sad to say winks may be a bit of a one trick pony. Fine when he the game is infront of him and he has time to slot a pass. But with his back to goal or under pressure he just isn’t quick enough or strong enough. A good player but having doubts that he can be top draw.
He’s just 21. He’ll improve just like Poch improves everybody he coaches. He just needs time. He’s not ready to start in matches against teams like City though. We need to find a new 6 in the summer and give Winks time to grow behind him.

I do wonder if Rose, Dier and Alli are unbalancing the dressing room though. It's clear they want to leave.

Totally disagree about Dier. He had put in enough performances to show his heart is here. His head isn't being turned by money. It's being turned by playing time.

Rose and Alli for me have their heads in new shirts. Alli needs dropping. Unleash Lamela in that position.

Toby wants more money and I'm sure Eriksen is wondering what his next contract will be. Not sure you can unbalance a dressing room when they all know and think they're comparatively underpaid.

Think behind the scenes problems is a cop out though, we are not in good form, missing players, Poch's tactics are very questionable and I think we're really mentally weak in these big away games.

I think Winks has shown enough times he is ready. But he isn't a leader. If the rest of the team is playing shit, he isn't the one to change that. But remember Modric couldn't change that when he first arrived. He grew into that. Winks will grow into it, but replacing him won't enable that. He has to stay in the team.

Someone please tell me one of Wink's strengths? Nowhere near decisive enough and full of sideways passes. Just because he's come through the academy doesn't mean he's got a divine right to start every game.

He wouldn't get near any of the other top 6's teams.

Agree , that real Madrid game maybe raised his profile too much.

He isn't a Dele..or at least wat Dele was. He needs to be eased in slowly , likely in a mid 3 so not to have so much responsibility.

Agree with most of this

Still very young and incredibly inexperienced in a pivotal role

Will have ups & downs. Needs help

Moose is far more of a worry

He doesn't shy from the ball. He is there calling for it.

He can carry the ball towards the final third.

When he is given just one decent forward pass options he takes it and moves for a return.

He gets stuck in for a small lad.

For me he doesn't lead that's why his form will be the same as that for the team. That will come.
