Sissoko off for Lucas has to happen. And next season I want to see KWP be our first choice RB, is tired of watching Trippier pass back/sideways 95% of the time he has the ball

TBH poch has always favoured Physicality in CM over say more of a passer and nothings changed
It's easily his biggest flaw IMO. It demands so much more from especially FBs to create opportunities if none of the CMs are able to.

It actually hurts watching this performance. What the hell is going on in the camp? I don’t believe it’s all tired legs!

Wow, just wow.

Watching Sissoko and Wanyama trying to set the pace in midfield is like watching two Philips screwdrivers trying to unscrew two flathead screws. It's not just them though, the apathy and lack of focus is everywhere.

This is the 7th game since Kane came back from his injury - we've only won 2 of them - laboured wins over Watford and Stoke!

No one's really been bad apart from dele who just hasn't touched the ball but we're getting absolutely nothing from midfield or LB. Trips has put some decent balls in but davies isn't even doing that and there's no creativity between sissoko and wanyama.

This is fucking painful to watch. Will Poch make any changes before 70th minute? I doubt it.

We were lucky to get away with a similar showing against Watford, helped by a big goal keeping error giving us the lead but they had numerous good half chances. If Newcastle score first, it is very hard to see us coming back, certainly for a win.

Who else is there? We badly need more central midfielders

It's not in central midfield where our main problems lie. This slow tempo and narrowness is Poch's design. For me our big problem is none of the three playing behind Kane are capable of picking the ball up in a congested space and really drive at the opposition, forcing them out of shape. Son can do it in wide positions but not when he is narrow. The other problem we have is none of the three behind Kane are strong. They have to rely on pure skill to hold the ball up.

I am genuinely flummoxed as to why we've bought Moura. He is exactly the type of player we need in there but Poch clearly just doesn't rate him.
