Some of the other players are having bad games, but he doesn't look interested today. Not sure if he's just really unfit at the moment? Hopefully he picks up in the second half.

It just highlights just how influential Eriksen is for us in how we play - dropping deeper picking the ball starting attacks and helping the central midfield out.
The guile and work rate of Lamela for Sissoko would be much needed and possibly bringing on Alli for Winks too.
Longer this goes on then the obvious increased likelihood is of Kane coming on for Llorente although maybe Poch looks for two up - not my preference but can see this happening.

Based on his last few performances couldn't agree more - but believe he is capable of better.
We are however losing the central midfield battle.

Sissoko hides from the ball so he can’t make a mistake, obviously shot of confidence. Needs to come off and never play for us again.

This is what people object to with the sissoko hate, not the genuine criticism of his ability but the incessant scapegoating.
That was winks' fault, he had so many options that he didn't take and it's his responsibility and yet you've looked for a way to turn it against sissoko

Forgot about Trippier to be fair.
Sissoko is outplaying Winks, Wanyama, Son, Llorente and Rose who have put in worse performances IMO. (That doesn't even mean he's playing well)

Sorry. Probably too pissed off with their performance that I didn't read your post clearly.

And what has Wanyama done, other then looking like Bambi on ice? Son can’t even control the ball today and Rose can barely find a white shirt.
We all know Sissoko is crap, but it just seems every time we don’t do well as a team Sissoko just gets blamed regardless. It’s fucking tedious.

Trouble is, if not the FA cup when do we win something? PL - no chance; CL - we have been great but still unlikely. I don't want us just to be aiming for top 4 and a good CL run every season. Sport is about winning trophies.

Completely unacceptable, because the last words at the end there from Danny fucking Murphy of all people summed it up - repeating the same mistakes and have not learnt any lessons from the previous round.
Firstly, far too fucking casual. And there are a few players who don't look like they want to be out there. Foyth too casual at times. Wanyama ditto and is just strolling. Rose is not even fucking bothering to break into a jog or put in a challenge. Son is just pissing about. Alderweireld looks slow, Winks doesn't look sharp or in any rhythm and got robbed for the goal. Sissoko is being Sissoko.
Then there is just making a rod for your own back. We're playing on a pitch that is basically a big sheet of corrugated iron, bobbling and bouncing with each pass. Why do we pass it round our own third, and invite the pressure? The one bit of our play that has been fairly good and getting some joy is going direct into Llorente (missed chance or not) and having runners going off him. Yet we cant adapt to what is happening and continue to piss about too much with the ball and invite pressure - that's alright if you have the ability to play through it, problem is from the display so far we cant......
I don't see how we've rocked up again with a lazy attitude and silly gameplan lacking in intensity, but we have. We'll be out if that doesn't change second half.
