A very very poor performance - Ade, Eriksen, Lamela, Paulinho - everyone was bad. Dembele and Chiriches were aweful. What is a disappointing is that it seems so obvious what the solution for variety should be - pace, clear pace. Every single team defends deep and central because they know that is our only threat.
I can understand Poch's dilemma to a certain extent, who of Chadli, Ericksen or Lamela does he replace. For me, its the formation that has to get sorted - 4-2-3-1. The 2 defensive midfielders - the one pure defensive (Capoue) and the ticker (Dembele) both don't do a proper job. So then make it a 4-4-2 with one holding (Capoue), Eriksen the deep lying playmaker, Lamela cutting in in one flank, Lennon or someone pacey on the other, with Soldado/Chadli behind Ade and moving to create space.
Come on Poch. Get it sorted.
