Team-bonding is welcomed. But I'm not sure if this week had been the best time, or even this season is a good one to go Barcelona. We will be having thick run of games against those big clubs after our FA Cup game!

Sure Southampton played well and we didn’t but they’re 18th at the moment, that needed to 100% be 3pts. These are the games where I/we all go on and on about how we need either a better back up striker who Poch is willing to trust or another good quality attacking player like another son as we just ran out of ideas and sissoko and Lamela so often not good enough, Alli quite often drifts through games also. We also need another creative type like Eriksen as Dier Dembele and Wanyama are creating fcuk all from CM, not their game.

Given this result and the other dropped point earlier in the season etc we now need to get some big wins against the other top 6 in the run in and win most our other games otherwise top 4 is not happening and given how we’ve played this season I’d say 5/6 is about right to be fair.

Sooner we can get a Malcom type and creative CM the better.

Lame!!! So fucking lame. A big fat zero for Poch for his team selection and total lack of ambition with substitutions. Now can we start a Go Fund Me for the hire of a hitman to take Sissoko out? I think that’s the only thing that will stop Poch picking the talentless ****

So, who would you have picked?

As much as I genuinely love Poch, he makes me rage sometimes. I just can't fathom some of his decisions.

Sissoko starting over Lamela was bad enough, but when we're chasing a badly needed goal - Lamela for Son? Wanyama for Dembele?

I think these two dropped points are going to cost us big at the end of the season.

Just goes to show we only get away with dembele and dier centrally due to eriksen doing their offensive work.both were trully awful today

Last week we gained ground on two of our other top 4 rivals (excl. Man City) and this week (if Liverpool wins tomorrow), we lose ground on all four rivals. One step forward and two steps back.

Agree, perhaps it slowed our momentum.

Awful from front to back today, bizarre and frustrating personnel decisions from Poch

Vertonghen and Davies at a push were decent, the rest were varying degrees of Sissoko

What a typical performance by us though, could have gone 4th and put pressure on pool and instead give them a free ticket.

Same against West Ham.

No wonder we are called bottle jobs.

Those laughing at Arsenal are gonna have egg on their face come end of season as would put money on them coming above us this year, in fact I'm gonna put a wager on now for it to happen

We have fallen so far back this year from 2nd to 6th and all the squads around us strengthen and we stand still. Would love to have the optimism Hercules has for next year and the summer but I think we have had our time to shine and have fucked it up again

So pissed with Poch today again, learnt nothing from west ham at home only 3 weeks ago
