The same regime that's put us in the position we're now in?
Yeah that makes a lot of sense, that's very well thought through mate.

Sissoko is best used away from home or at least against teams who may try to score as he can carry the ball into space and he's fairly decent defensively and positionally. Very limited footballer but someone who we can at least use in some effective way.
That effective way is never ever going to be against teams who sit deep and park the bus. Perhaps Poch should have gone with Sissoko against Swansea and Lamela tonight.

He's better used as a sub.

Spot on. Big misses this season.
The way of beating teams that park the bus is with speed. Balls into feet, snappy passing, give and go and all those other cliches. The whole, hold the ball and knock it left to right in front of them does nothing. You say we created chances but they were mostly fairly speculative digs from just outside the box from Eriksen. Kane has a few chances but his were mostly attempted shots from a few yards out with 5 or 6 West Ham defenders hanging off him.
The amount of times in that game that we won the ball in our own half before Alli and other jogged it up the field allowing West Ham to get back in shape and settled was ridiculous. Lamela isn’t perfect but he does get his head up, he does look to cut a pass through a defence and get the strikers turned in behind. We needed that punchlines earlier. I’m not for a second saying Lamela would have come on and won the game for us on his own. However I feel fresh legs earlier would have. I feel earlier changes would have given us a bit more impoetus, a bit more drive and a bit more energy.
As it was we sat for 70 odd minutes knocking it about in front of two banks of 5 waiting for someone to pull out some magic. Eventually it comes from Son but by that point he’s saving us a point. I’m not saying I’m always right, but I feel that fresh legs and a more positive approach would have won us hat game. I feel we set up negatively given the quality in front of us.

That's why I said I get it. Mark knobhead said the tactic was 5 midfielders to just sit in front of the defence and soak it up, which for me is complete anti football.
Palace vs city was also defensive but they tried to compete which is different imo and something I cannot blame.

Kane had 2-3 opportunities inside the 6 yard box, decent delivery that normally bury at least 1 from. Not today. Aurier’s header into him that he miscontrolled, Alli’s miscontrol racing into the box, there were a number of golden opportunities that were wasted in both halves that don’t even tally up with the number of shots we had.
The pot shots you could also lay at Kane’s door to an extent. He put one about 15 foot over the bar from around 25 yards.
Our crossing was poor too, but the ire is reserved for 2 players whose remit it was to win the ball in the middle and lay it off to Eriksen? A remit they actually carried out pretty much to the letter.
I do agree with those having a pop at Poch for not making the subs earlier, but the SOLE reason we didn’t get 3 points today is because our frontline were poor.

10 points out of 12 over Christmas and you cobble this together? Such a tantrum.

Oh hello, it's the Sky "you've got to win trophies to keep Kane and Alli" compulsory mention....

Have you heard the two of them speak. It’s like an episode of Jeremy Kyle.

You have, but that’s ok. The fact is our frontline was pretty dire today with their first touch and finishing. That’s why we drew, no other reason.

I think we really need to stop blaming the refs, we need to take them out of the equation and just start putting these games to bed.
There were two game plans on show tonight as the commentators alluded to, attack and defend, they pretty much nullified us and scored a worldie.
I know it’s been said a million times but Sissoko....seeing him dropping into a back three tonight and then thinking back to the barnstorming runs he was making through the middle for France 18 months ago almost makes me think someone’s stolen his passport.
Surely Poch must be pulling his hair out knowing what he can do but he doesn’t seem to have that drive through the middle for his club as he does for his country.
Harry and Vic for me next up.

Yeah I agree we are in a better position than we were under sugar. But we’ve got a bulging trophy cabinet we’ve won loads over the last 10 yrs. So what’s the excuse now? Because these players who can earn double, treble there wages else where will be gone because this so called amazing regime will not pay the wages. Your thoughts?
