It's been kind of disappointing in a sense and I say that because other than down the right with Trippier, we haven't really had another method of attack, we don't look like creating anything through any other part of the pitch.

Hopefully we'll get them second half, but there's zero excuse for not defending set plays and it seems to have been a consistent failure throughout Poch's tenure.

If I was a team playing against us and we were ever in a dangerous goal scoring situation a foul is a nailed on way to totally neutralise it.

Lamela has to come on early in the second half for me. Alli should come off or Eriksen.

Draw not good enough. Must come out harder and faster and win this. Poch needs to get winks and Lamela on earlier rather than later. We need their energy.

Sounds from the radio commentary we are much sharper today. Just can’t switch off at the back though

Kind of agree, but that is just mental. Kane making up the ground Dier was supposed to. Dier just quit and no matter the tactics it is up to the player to get in. If everyone had Kane’s mentality on winning the ball we wouldn’t allow a corner because he is no doubt the winniniest header on corners

I hate the thought of ending up 4 points behind Liverpool tonight if things stay as they are.

We're so fucking boring.

Can't fault the energy and the effort to win the ball back whenever we lose it. In that respect we are playing very well.

However, there have been occasions where there has been a little bit of space and our wide play isn't taking advantage of it. It's really showing where our weakness is as a squad. I have a feeling Aurier and Rose will be first choice in the New Year as Davies and Trippier do have difficulties taking advantage of the space sometimes.
