IMO despite the popular opinion on this forum, Mason and Bentaleb are not the second coming. Jury still out on Poch with regard to selection and tactics. Rose my MOM

It looked good when Mason and Bentaleb came in basically brand new and did well. Now they've been found out and they've been shown up. We aren't getting top 4 with these two and half the other squad.

Rose by some distance. 85th minute and he tore past half a dozen team mates to try and get in the box on the end of a cross. The only one who seemed to have any energy or fight.

Players (Rose aside) were all shit. Honourable mention for Vlad who is currently stealing a living as a footballer. I can only assume he has a doppelgänger in Romania who can play football and he did some form of life-swap deal with him.

Poch I'm forgiving as, aside from 8/9 players, I don't think he rates anyone else in the squad.

Fans need to take a hard look at themselves too. We were groaning after 5 minutes FFS. There was one moment that typified this, around 80 mins, Bentaleb sat on the ball for 5 seconds (and I get it, our tempo was awful) and the ball went backwards to Fazio who tried to play a long forward pass instantly. It didn't come off and the fans groaned even louder. WE're far too unforgiving and AVB was right that, in some games, our fans suck the ball towards our goal. Players and manager didn't help today though.

Half the players know they won't be there next season. How do you motivate the apathetic?

Good: Rose.
Okay: Kane, Dier & Vorm.
Paulinho: Rest of the players.

I feel sorry for Kane. When he gets the ball he create chances. But Eriksen, Chadli and Townsend didn´t create a chance for 90 minutes (as always). Where´s the creativity? Rose is more creative than our midfield. It´s embarassing.

Rose and Vorm are the only players to finish the game with any credit.

And mason ? Are you still telling me your RIGHT ? He's been utterly pathetic since the qpr game. And you seem to have gone a little quiet on the matter.

Rose was lights out. For those who blame him for the goal, watch the replay and see that he has to cover the overlapping run that is coming. He needs cover from Chadli or whomever is playing on the left side.

Lamela in 10 minutes made more defensive and offensive contribution to the team than Townsend did in 80. He needs to be played in the middle though cause he doesn't creat width or run behind defenders. He needs to be our creative force and pick passes with the ball at his feet.

Eriksen is being the man we recruited. Hot and Cold as per the scouting report.

Fazio is a squad player at best. Dier looks promising and RB is up for grabs. I would love Yedlin to get run towards the end just to see what he has.

Chadli has so much ability but no desire. Another trait that came out in scouting.

We chose our team so support them. All the "death to players and managers" on this site is pathetic.

They will start next well though. It's embarrasing

Unless Stambouli and Dembele are a) showing up half-cut to training and vomiting in the storage bins or b) sleeping with Mrs Poch, I don't understand how the poor bastards aren't getting a look-in. Likewise Lamela.

MOTM: Rose. For about the 20th time this season. Well done Danny.

Pathetic. All of them except Danny Rose.

Not sure about everyone else but I cannot wait for our next game to see Mason and Bentaleb starting in the middle. Chadli on the left and Townsend on the right and Eriksen shuffling about in the middle. That defensive line is Picasso-esque in it's beauty.
Can't wait for the 4-2-3-1 and the like for like changes in the 78th minute.

We're a shambles, roll on the game vs Sydney FC. Maybe get back to a bang average performance which will at least have a last minute Kane or Eriksen goal in a 2-1 win to get the heart going.
