Capoue off, Rose off, Adebayor off. Show some balls..do something. I read that Pochettino has won something like only 1 game from a losing position in his whole PL career.

I just do not understand how we can look so, so, so poor.

This match has truly affirmed my belief that we could finish in the bottom half.

Disappointing half. Adebayor really wasted a golden opportunity. Mason has clearly been the player of the half, doing everything right pretty much. Soldado and Eriksen have put a few good balls through too.

Our full backs are getting exposed way too easily though, Villa getting a lot of balls in from wide. Capoue is not providing enough protection down the middle either. I like him for his distribution but today he's just strolling around. He really could've cut out the pass that led to Weimann's goal if he was just paying more attention.

I'd like to see Kane on for Ade and Stambouli on for Capoue.

When the spine of your team is Kaboul, Capoue & Ade you're always going to struggle.

I've got to say it's a poor team selection.

We needed a team to grab this game by the scruff of the neck and be proactive.

Not a spine who play at their own pace (at best).

Mason has been our best player by a country mile.

Rose shocking today. Kaboul little better. Mason is our best player by far. I would love Soldado to score but he can't- that shot today was a joke.

They can't really do anything can they, can't cross, can't defend, can't shoot.

Doubt we'll see a sub until the 70th minute and then it'll be Lamela for Chadli. Kane might get the last 8 minutes.

They're already getting into our final third far too easily, and you want to open it up for them even more? Stam on for Caps

Dembele still decent in the tackle and will bring some strength on the ball. Need someone who can hold and drive us forward more effectively.

I'm not sure what Capoue is really doing if I'm honest.

Spot on. Dembele has one fucking tackle all season. He can't even catch players anymore. Needs to go with the rest of the hopefully impending overhaul.

Capoue has been dreadful, he was like a statue for the goal. As for Kaboul, Benteke has given him the runaround from the word go. Kaboul has no clue where he is, as he didn't have a clue where the player was for the goal. Dreadful.
