I think that shoots right towards the top of the list of the most miserable games ever. Just nothing of quality in the game at all. I know it's a bit of a quandary - 1-0 up against 10 men, had a hard game in midweek and in the middle of a packed fixture schedule, you don't want to push too hard - but the second half especially was fucking awful, bordering on disgraceful. An absolute waste of time for supporters.
Injuries or not, this side is just not functioning at the moment. Our attacking structures aren't great, our possession play is really flailing, and our press & defensive organisation is way off our best. That there is still enough about us (and maybe says something about the other teams in the league) to be towards the top of the table, great, but fucking hell start playing properly and who knows what might happen.........
Call me mad but I found the second half quite exciting (perhaps for the wrong reasons).
Plenty of attacking going on, but also plenty of poor touches and misplaced passes.
I think with Eriksen and/or Alli on it might have been different. Son and Lucas weren't at it today. Lamela also guilty of a horrible miss when he came on.
