First off i'm pleased we got the win and 3 points that were deserved.
BUT!!
The tempo from some our players was shocking. I see Dier getting some praise, but Sanchez and Dier are to blame a lot for this, the amount of times they had the ball at their feet and just slowed the game to a standstill was so frustrating. Countless times I quick pass or one two was on with a CM and they just chose to go backwards or play it to themselves, it was bizarre, with no drive to actually push forward themselves..... Maybe i'm making this all up, but it was really starting to frustrate me.
I'm not quite sure if Wanyama is broken since his injury, but please get up to speed soon. Woeful few games for us now.
Why Lamela was taken off when Eriksen and Ali were worse than him was disappointing from Poch. Lamela wasn't having the best game, but Eriksen was woeful by his standards, and Dele didn't really do anything all game. Yet the two favourites stay on, they should have both been replaced around the 65 mark for Son and Lucas.
All in all these away games at teams near the bottom, with the season coming to an end will always be tough. We do need to become more lethal in front of goal though as we seem to enjoy putting so much pressure on ourselves.
Big call..... I truly believe Foyth will be the better CB out of him and Sanchez. I know Sanchez gets a lot of praise on here and i think he has done well, but the superlatives he receives are way over the top.
Eriksen took the corner that resulted in the goal so not such a bad decision.
