It's why poch and the players should never ever mention winning the title.I've been saying this for years but we repeatedly come up short when it comes to delivering on that front. It's the reason we keep being close but not close enough every time.
Walking out of Wembley feeling like this team is at a crossroads. We need investment. Too many of our key players look fatigued. No depth on the bench. Very little alternative to Plan A. Certainly not a title winning team. With Son flying off to Korea and if Kane and/or Sissoko are injured, then I can see us sliding back quickly. These games make Poch and Eriksen question why they should stay.
Sorry, but Jarrod Bowen or Jack Grealish ain't going to do it. If we are ambitious then we need to prove it. Otherwise, let's stop fooling ourselves that we are even competing to win titles. Sickened.
Kane
Lucas
Son
Dembele
Wanyama
Dier
Man-Beast
All perhaps missing now!
Good thing it's Jan and we'll be signing plenty of worldy talents as usual to step up
I don't know about that. The first half was very even, and we were actually on top at the point they scored. We let the goal in because of a poor decision. Partly actually down to Sissoko going off and our failure to re adjust. Its important to note, we didn't concede on the counter attack, we conceded on a phase of transition.We didn't lose because of our full-backs. We lost because we set ourselves up ripe for the countering by the way we set up in the first half and poor finishing/good goalkeeping in the second half.. Could have had Walker and Rose playing at their peak and the issues would have been the same until we changed. It was the same against Liverpool earlier in the season.
A poorer keeper would have slower reflexes to save them.
BrilliantFrom the look on Kane’s face he looked distraught. Reckon it’s 6 weeks out.
Shooting boots eh some said. The lads took those shots the best they could under those circumstances. They couldn't have been better. Why was it so hard to give credit when it was due to De Gea.. He won them the match, that was the fact.
Next season it looks most likelyWhen will this Wembley nightmare just fucking end.
No mention that we have the worst injury list in living memory? You don't think that plays a part as well? Despite that, we completely dominated them. They got LUCKY. You're embarrassed? You should be ashamed of yourself yourself.
Well maybe draw.Swap the keepers and we win that game
Exactly. We changed formation a bit and all of a sudden they had little threat from the counter in the second half despite the same full-backs.Yep, that tactical naivety again. Davies sitting deeper in the second half made a massive difference IMO, don't know how it took so long to have at least one of the fullbacks sitting deeper to aid in counter attacks.
Bar Trippier I agree.
I like Trips but I’m past giving him the benefit of the doubt again. It’s too many times now
Im so confused right now, do we sell Poch to manu so Ole is available for us, please help
