Poch needs to take a look at himself. Poor game management. We could all see it coming.

And Dele Alli....i just dont get what he sees in him.

Dele is good when he does things instinctively/quickly. It's the drum I keep banging on about where he is concerned.

Certainly don't like this deeper role.

Did that just happen ?

I'm seriously fucked up. Diabetes high before the k.o. - bloods 14.9 dropped down to 4.0 in 2 hrs.

Shaking like fuck - dunno if it is rage or stupidity.

Wonderful from the players, wonderful from Poch.......

To be quite honest, a lot of what we have done so far this season could quite easily have seen us drop points. We saw much of the same again, so no one should be shocked that today we did.

I hope this is a massive kick up the arse, for Poch especially.

I didn’t really get a chance to properly watch this. Was it as bad as it suggests?

Just win me a domestic cup this season, spurs.

Just do that and I'm a very happy man.

Do you think we’re good enough to win the league? I didn’t think it in July, not last week after beating Utd and I still don’t now. Doesn’t matter what month it is.

No I don't, but you said "that's the title gone", be honest with yourself it was a knee jerk reaction, if you honestly felt that we didn't stand a chance before the season started then it was never there to go.

Eriksen should be docked wages for that performance.
Strolling around the pitch all afternoon
I know he's not physical, but he pulled out so often from challenges that I don't know how his girlfriend got pregnant.

Thats one for pochs' notebook... Temperament and dealing with physicality. He didn't react quick enough to deal with it.
Still Watford are a good team, some days you win , some like today your marginally off and you lose.

Yeah & Moura, but that didn't fit my narrative, so I just decided to fuck them off.
I'm starting to get worried about Eriksen, Alli and Kane. They look so out of sorts. Kane needs to start playing as a striker again. I feel the rise of Moura is papering over some cracks. The next game is going to be massive. If they win that will be a six point gap. Obviously still a lot of football to play so not quie dark yet.

Very unfortunate not to have had Hugo today. Beyond his shot stopping I think he's very important in organising the backline against physical sides. In these situations I'd be tempted to gamble on Gazzaniga's aggressiveness rather than play Vorm.

Beyond that we haven't really learnt anything new. We don't have a top-4 quality left back, let alone anything better. Dembele is hugely inconsistent and cannot play at all often. Not using a holding mid is dumb. Kane's still a competent goalscorer but nowhere near what he was 6 months ago. Llorente is a waste. And we are still the same level, if not worse, than we were two or three years back: we're treading water at a good level but not progressing.

Does Poch have the answers? I hope so. But I haven't seen any evidence of it. No plan to help Kane back, no plan to change games falling away from us, and still overcomplicating responses to sides like these rather than sticking to our own style and keeping a sensible team selection.
