Atrocious conditions, lame performance, poor game management equates to unsatisfactory result

Both Lamela and Wanyama should have been on earlier.

I will give Vorm MOTM for deputizing so competently

Atrocious stuff, exacerbated by Poch's substitutions

Most disappointing performance of the season for me and we'll be 5 points off top 4 tomorrow - season defining

Vertonghen, Vorm, Davies and just about Kane came away with any credit.

Thought rest were pretty poor unfortunately. Our performances do seem to slip in wet conditions.

I know it is frustrating, but Davies, Verts and Vorm deserve some credits. Kane has done his best without many chances. Ironically, I think sanchez did much better in the 2nd half. But damages have been done

It is really hurt to see Dembele's current performance. I like him, but he really passes his best.

I don't blame Dier pretending Pirlo again because of Eriksen's absence. It is Poch who needs to tell him not to be Pirlo.

Sissoko is bad. But so do Son and Dele.

Wanyama did ok after coming on. But I don't know why he chooses to shot in the stoppage time.

Lamela's right foot is as bad as sissoko's both foots. (Does he think that he would be prosecuted if he uses his right foot?) I think he would score in that chance with the right foot. Also, he seems to try to use his left foots to control the ball every time. And it slows down the play and s'ton players can press him immediately.

Vertonghen was the only outfield player to come away with real credit.

The rest ranged from average to downright fucking dreadful.

Sissoko and Alli plus Wanyama and Lamela from the bench were atrocious

No surprise we’re either not winning or struggling to attack with Sissoko bumbling his way down the pitch before losing it 90% of the time. He needs to get out ASAP

It's almost as if replacing our only creative player with Moussa Sissoko doesn't lead to creative attacking play. Huh.
It was a dreadful choice to replace Lamela with Son and not Sissoko.

Switch Son the let flank, Alli middle and Lamela right.

Really fucking struggle to understand Poch's rationale in both initial selection and mid-game tactics and if he tries to palm off on his that we played well or denied 3 points because of luck/referee/whatever then it'll be pouring oil onto an already burning fire with me!

I think it highlights a problem. Many people wants lamela instead of sissoko. While sissoko is bad, Lamela also struggles in this situation. This match shows that we definitely need a proper eriksen alternative. And the malcom's deal makes sense. But we need to wait until next season. It is stressful.

The loss of Eriksen was to much - like every other game where he is not on the field. You would think Lamela would be the obvious substitute but not in Pochs head. Once again he poor in game management is to blame.

Kane is also scoring that in the end 90% of times.

Drawing with Southampton is simply not good enough.

This match infuriated me more than any match this year. Poch got it wrong from the beginning with his lineup. No Eriksen means Lamela must start. It's really that simple. Pulling Son when you need a goal was also idiotic. Horrible from him today.

Whomever said that the idea that Alli and Dier are undroppable is wrong, in the match thread today, got it spot on. Both were atrocious. Alli may have been the worst player on the pitch for as many attacks he killed singlehandedly dawdling on the ball. Dier continuing to get starts when Wanyama is a better player than him is especially galling.

Awful performance. Subs did nothing to change the game.

An infuriating performance, players out there that aren't good enough and a manager who doesn't react quick enough when changes are required.

Sometimes instead of a MoM poll I think a Turd of the Match poll would be much more interesting. Today was one of those days :(.

In a closely fought contest i'd give Poch my ToM for his appalling team selection and substitutions but Alli, Dier, Aurier. Son and undoubtedly the popular winner Sissoko all ran him close.

MoM? :meh: Verts I guess. Vorm is blameless too.

Quite an exciting game, thought we had it at the end with Lamela and then Kane. Bit disappointed with our attackers not able to adapt to conditions. Pretty average effort from everyone to be honest.

Davies 7
Dembele 5
Dier 5
Son 4
Sissoko 6.5
Dele 4

Poch 5.

5 = average for me btw
