We're getting what we deserve here. And Poch only gets so much of the blame. We've had no tempo at all for 70 minutes. Loads of players taking an extra touch, standing still when receiving a pass, not passing into a team-mates stride, taking the safe pass for the most part. Vertonghen and Dier have been the main culprits, looking around, waving their arms, not having any plan of what to do in possession.

This side will never win anything unless they change that lazy possession approach that crops up way to often. West Ham came to implement this plan and I don't know why lesser sides don't always play it. Top teams, and not just City, but Chelsea, Arsenal etc never dawdle in possession at 0-0 against lesser teams. They go for the jugular.

Vintage Lamela there. Receive the ball on the edge of the box, miscontrol it and give away a foul.

I'm predicting the first serious poch out tonight

Nothing winds people up like a manger not making the change that they think he should

We all know Poch will come out and say "it one of those days" we have played them off park and had 30 shots blah blah blah, all that matters is goals

Wembley has 100% cost us this year and we go into new stadium with Europa League football.....we only catch Pool if we win at Anfield now

Lots of people having a pop at Poch, but this is another game where the players have lacked the edge they've had in the previous two seasons

And we will hear the same story from Poch after this match. This is his fault and not the players, he fielded the wrong team and didnt change it.

Mike Dean is a ****
But Poch has to take responsibility for this. I don’t want to see Sissoko anywhere near a starting 11 again
