Jamie and Niall summed the game up. Both said we needed agricultural balls. We should have put Kane on and gone long ball. The alarm bells were ringing for me when I saw only 1 striker on the pitch and one on the bench.
The result stinks but what stinks more is MoPo getting selection and tactics wrong and the complete lack of confidence.
Ade seemed like he was acting in a football film and Lamela was like a spoilt child.
Dier's inexperience cost us the game but I don't like the way Kaboul and Verts hang him out to dry.
I think MoPo needs to really analyse this performance. He got it wrong.
Interesting, I think there were some that expressed concerns that Poch lacks a plan B, an inability to adapt to game circumstances. I think this reared its head today, We couldn't get our full backs up the field so we really lacked width. When he brought Townsend on I thought he would put him on the left.
But alas no.
