So not by design or indeed, bang on:
Importantly, Pochettino had spent much of the first half audibly remonstrating with Eriksen, encouraging him to harry and hassle Mikel Arteta in possession of the ball. The Dane had been rebuked for failing to close down the Spaniard on every occasion, with Emmanuel Adebayor also suitably reproached. The effectiveness of Pochettino's high-press style, utilised to such great effect at Southampton, depends on an all-for-one mentality within the squad - there is little room for passengers.
WTF is wrong with these players, its not rocket science or even that hard to close down a player in your area of the pitch.
If how we got our goal doesn't make the penny drop nothing will with these players
