Sums Vertonghens game up. Utterly shambolic display from our most experienced defender.


He hasnt been good but i believe that when you have an inexperienced 20 yr old against your arch rivals away - you have to play for two defenders as it were

We lost it at the team sheet

This one is on Poch. Set up was a disaster from the start, poor team selections, waited way too long to make substitutions.

This is all on Poch. Foyth wasn't ready to start a game like this. Dier also needs to be replaced. He's nothing more than a training mannequin to shoot around against the better sides.

All on poch this. Fucking awful in game management. Arsenal have battered us since half time and their subs and poch just sits on his hands doing nothing. That 3rd goal had been coming for over 20 minutes. A blind dog could see we were getting over run and outnumbered time and again.

Just a bad day. Hope we win all the remaining matches in Dec
But it's not just a bad day. Pretty much everyone has been total shit, including Poch's team selection, tactics and game management. There's something wrong when everything is this bad all at once.

We've been mediocre most of the season, with a handful of good perofmance. Results have covered up the cracks. We simply cannot keep expecting to challenge for the top four, let alone the title, if we don't invest in the team. It's really that simple.

Walker's departure and Rose's injuries severely affected how we play, compounded by Wanyama and Dembele's injury record. We so badly need two new midfielders but didn't even buy one.

Mike Dean should be ashamed of himself. We are playing bad enough without having to play against him too.

Booked Dier for celebrating, and the Arsehole players did the exact same thing and nothing.

Oh well - there you have it Poch, play a lack of match fitness vertonghen alongside a hugely inexperienced foyth and you get this. Bad management of the squad right there.
