Cashing in on Dembele lowballing on Grealish. If we somehow finish fifth we get exactly what we deserve.

Son has got to come in for Lucas

Lucas has been our best player. At least he's trying to make something happen. Bit selfish at times, but he just trying to hard.

Personally I would go 4 at the back and bring Son on for Tripps or Sanchez.

I actually have no idea what Poch can do to turn this around, the players seem to have zero belief at the moment. I don't think any sort of change of shape can turn this around.

I agree, however Wanayama is used to positioning himself in front of the back 3, Sissoko is not. Just feel like we need to let him come on and get players into positions that they are more used to.

Walker had years left on his contract but told Poch he’d like to consider his options at the end of the season:

Poch drops him.

Eriksen has tactically held the club at ransom by running down his contract and not committing to the club because he wants to leave. He mentally checks out and his performances go completely down the pan:

Poch plays him continuously.

Poch holds himself as a man of principle, but the way he’s handled both situations has been fucking stupid.

Wanyama's been really poor when he's played though. Great player, but injuries have slaughtered him.

Play them both and stretch the fuck out of their defence

Get Son on for trippier.

Push Sanchez to RB and play four at the back.
Son & Moura can push Robertson & TAA back preventing the crosses to the Liverpool forward line.

Has Foyth ever been considered as a DM? Obviously inexperienced but in his brief time I think he has looked at least as good as Dier on the ball.

The difference may well be that we had an alternative to Walker who was playing well at the time, whereas our current midfield alternatives are a crocked man and a kid.

Like someone else said....they have not been great, we have been poor.
Our boys needs to step up second half. Poch to make the tactical adjustments aswel.
Son for Lucas.

Not just Hugo. THREE centre backs and NOBODY within several yards of the opposing striker?! We've looked so, so poor under this system and yet Poch persists with it as we face 1 point from 5 going into our new stadium. Not good.


To be fair that ball in the box was put on a sixpence, not much centre backs could do for me. Trippier more at fault for not shutting down the cross but it was Lloris that put the team in that situation

Strange we are so poor defensively this season compared to previous Poch seasons.

Biggest difference between us and them is their speed of attack
They are fast and direct
We take forever to work the ball forward and Kane is isolated


I am not even watching but I know this is true - been the same all season!
