Been out all day and skipped to the last page of this thread.

I take it we didn’t win?

Probably right, but every club has injuries.

Fact is Liverpool best City after selling their best player and without their new CB signing.

We’ve had years to buy a good alternative to Kane and Eriksen and failed miserably.

We lack depth though which is the issue

But if Lamela starts where will Sissoko play?

Some people have the blinders on for him and I have no idea why, shit footballer.

He takes Son off and he could have been the player that made the difference at the end.

Criminally bad management imo.
It was bad from poch today. He does have his complete shockers every now and then.

Unnecessary drop of two points. Avoidable.

Absolute shite performance. Slow and laboured as it always is when we have Dier Dembele and Sissoko on the pitch together.
Substitutions were pathetic. Alli and Sissoko were woeful and yet Son gets subbed?
Sometimes I wonder what Poch is watching and thinking. Wanyama on 85th min???? Wtf is that all about?
Was obvious after 20min the set up was totally wrong. Actually I thought it was wrong before ko.
To keep trying the same thing and expect a different outcome is madness.
That's top 4 gone imo.
No fkin chance.

Apart from Dier hitting the bar, Sissoko missing another sitter, Kane dragging wide and Lamela having his goalbound shot blocked.....Poor performance and poor result.

Very sloppy in possession and got opened up too close for comfort.

Top 4 looks very difficult now.

Yep not like he's missed over a year of football with a double hip operation and has yet to play 2 full matches since returning a couple months ago.

He's just shit, get rid

Honestly though, was he that good in the first place to warrant the waiting so long for him to return to his best?

This match has proved that most of the team are waiting for another (Kane) to create the magic in the final third. Are attacking play is becoming too obvious with not enough attacking variety. Very pissed off.

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.
I knew it Poch was going to sub Lamela in for Son. Sissoko would not be off.. I just couldn't get it.

And even when Son was off, Dembele was trying so hard to make things happen and off he went for Wanyama. Jeez! Seriously Poch!?

Can't help but think more than just two players were affected by that virus.

Nobody bar Verts seemed like themselves.

Kane looked leggy, Ali erratic - everyone seemed stuck in 2nd gear.

Win two out of the next 3 and not lose and we'll be in good shape for the spring.

Let's not shoot ourselves just yet. The team still haven't clicked yet this season for me. They've got another gear to go up into, but they'll have to shift those gears starting in 10 days time.

Do you know what our next 3 league fixtures are?

what is the point buying a centre forward for 12m if your not going to bring him on when we need a goal, and why when we need a goal to be bring wanyama on
Next 3 games, Man u, Liverpool and Scum, we need to get contracts signed before those games, top 4 could be over by middle of Feb
