Llorente's bad form is scraping the bottom of the barrel, surely he is going to get a bit better soon? Can't get any worse.
Funnily enough apart from the sitter he hasn't done too badly, especially by his standards.

The sad thing is that we've created numerous opportunities and son has scuffed them or not been willing to shoot.

Good match. I'm happy they scored, it'll make the 2nd half even more exciting, which i do believe we'll win. Foyth and Lucas have been good. Matches which are really one sided can be so boring, especially against inferior oppo.

I was just typing "watch Sissoko's movement when we don't have the ball" when that happened. Just watch what Sissoko does when Winks is on the ball and looking for a pass. He just runs away and hides.

Lol. Blaming Sissoko for Winks coughing up the ball. :ROFLMAO:

Sissoko's movement has been fine. Several times his runs have opened space for Son and Llorente. And he created two of our best moves with strong runs and was very unlucky not to get to the Tripps ball which was a move he started on the wing.

Lol. Lol...

He has been pretty decent today, links up well. It's not his fault Son has lost the courage to shoot.

It’s not an over reaction to say that Harry Winks is overrated; he is.

But because he’s one of our own and cost us nothing, he gets a free pass. Paulinho put in peformances on par to this with Winks and yet he got chastised for it.

Now look where he is.

You all make me sick.

Son needs to put his shooting boots on. He has had 3 or 4 chances to shoot but instead takes an extea touch or tries to pass

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.

He was at fault for the goal, but there are others out there having a worse game than him & you can start with Wanyama.

Some of those players look like they think they are too good for this game. Dream on. Get the big guns on and put this to bed Poch. We can’t get knocked out by Rochdale ffs and we don’t need a replay.

Just reading the quotes on here, I didn't realise Sissoko was on the pitch.

Does Vorm ever come off his line?? Plus Toby got it wrong Victor was covering across, should have stayed with the scorer.

Llorente and Sissoko are the weak spots in this side. Makes everyone else suffer.

It's what I said prior to the game, those 2 were the weak spots. I don't even think they've been particularly awful but other players in their places would just add so much more.

I think he is not helped at all in front by the low-in-confidence Llorente

Don’t disagree, but he’s still been poor. In fact he hasn’t been quite on it the last few games. Still having a good season, but he’s just dipped a bit.
