Excpept Lamela is our best player right now and should be starting?


He may not have it in him to play 60+ minute! Its not that simple people. In any normal situation he may not even be in the squad today and be rested but its probably forced upon us with all the other injuries.

I say to myself its only cardiff this lot should get past them, but where does the creativity come from.

Hopefully winks can grab the game by the scruff of the neck early doors.

Still going 3-0

Poch is blinkered where Dier is concerned. He's been shit for a while now.
If Poch thinks Sissoko is a footballer that's a worry.

That said even with those in the team it should be enough for Cardiff but I do genuinely wonder what anyone sees Sissoko bringing to any game.


Sissoko has quite a few strengths pace, stamina, aggression. Pochettino clearly thinks he can do a job. It may not be pretty but he can be effective

I’m sorry for saying this but fuck off Poch, you keep disrespecting KWP and how can you play Sissoko instead of Lamela?! He can’t say fitness reasons because he’s not injured, he’s fit enough to be on the bench and isn’t in Argentina team
Stop acting like a child. Do you want us to run him into the ground and get permacrooked? He's obviously being managed sensibly. Christ...

I have to say I'm seriously surprised to see no Lamela or KWP in the starting lineup.

Hasn't Poch played Winks, Dembele and Dier in a three. Which one of them is a winger?
I'm talking about Sissoko? We almost always play him on the right. It will be 4-2-3-1.

Son has played football non stop for months, why isn’t he getting rested? He looks tired
Poch said Trippier’s fitness needs to be handled carefully but he keeps starting every game

If Lamela is on the bench he’s fit to start, a 50% Lamela is better than a 100% Sissoko
And Lamela isn’t in Argentina’s squad so he can rest after this game

You're actually comparing Son to Lamela who was out for more than 1 year due to an injury? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

To single out Son, yet say nothing about Hugo's performance smacks of someone looking for a scapegoat.


Fact was that the better team by a Country mile won, deserved to win, and fielded a team on that pitch that cost ove six hundred million pounds.

Reality hurts sometimes, but to single out one player speaks volumes for some in here and in general.

WALOB.

I'm not scapegoating anyone. Lloris is obviously our no. 1 and will play regardless. He's still a better option than Gazza or Form ffs.

To see Son rewarded for a terrible game yet leave Lamela out when he's been our best player doesn't make sense to me. If it's fitness reasons then fine but Lamela has looked our sharpest player by far.

Son has looked knackered. Let's hope Son has a great game.

Poch has said lamela is being managed after he came off against Barca, hence starting on the bench. With kwp i can only guess that poch caught him tea-bagging his wife.

Not a player in world football that we could buy throughout the whole of the summer window to strengthen our squad but all of a sudden the best option we have is Sissoko as a starter. You couldn't make it up. Brave my arse.

Poch is starting to irritate with his comments and press conferences, let alone his updated book.

He’s irritated me for a while, his press conferences and interviews always does. I’m sorry but he talks shit and he always talks the talk but never walks the walk
