Thought we did ok and deserved the draw. We looked really dangerous on the break and equally shaky at the back. Sanchez was the weak link at the back. Did Kane win a header second half? He looks off the pace. Shout out to sissoko, like sticking a Ferrari engine in a fiat Uno.

Really liked the look of GLC, the little that we saw of him. Going to be a player for us.

That said, would've loved to have Ceballos on our side. We're missing a player like him in CM.

That dive was fucking pathetic from Kane, but choosing to pass to Sissoko is damn near unforgivable

What are you on about? When you're playing football at that speed, you don't really check who you're passing to.

Sissoko was in the best position.

Davies is a better defender and at the moment I think we need all the help we can get.
Pepe would have murdered Davies.

I didn't think Rose was bad. Too passive like the rest of the game, but Davies would have been the same.

It's more of a penalty than the one they got a Wembley last season

I agree with that but Kanes wasnt a penalty. he didnt protect the ball but went for just making sure he got to the defender. He ought to have shot or passed it really

After such a crap start to the season, but somehow managing to nick points off the scum and City, I am mighty relieved to be heading for the international break. Negatives today? Too many tbh, and what the bloody hell was Poch doing putting Sanchez at RB and not even changing it when they were getting so much joy down their left!? I have to be honest, with each piss poor performance, I am less and less confident in his ability to do the simple things right? Shoehorning defenders into positions they are not comfy in should never be an option - just make it a bloody 3 at the back!

How old is this Auba guy? Absolute state of that haircut. Has he shaved 'race' lines in to his eyebrows as well?
You should see his cars, its like a 12 year old has had a trolley dash through Halfords.

would like to hear what Mourinho and Souness has to say, but cannot have that utter Judas bastard on my screen. I won't have him in my house

Shocking. We are all over the place. This could be a mid table finish if we continue this way.
Away at home against an Arsenal team who were fired up, had the crowd with them and Atkinson giving them every little decision. Add our missing players and injuries, it was to be expected.

no-one will care about that performance when we beat them at WHL when our team is settled and firing. It'll be a massive point gained.

The biggest worry is Kane imo. The old Kane would have tried to shoot instead of looking for the pen against Sokratis and could very well have scored. The same with the earlier chance where he opted for a bad pass to Dele instead of trying to smash it in.. He's also rarely on the end of runs and has looked a bit clueless about what to do at times..
He looks clueless because our tactics aren't set up to give him chances. You'd think we would build our side around the best no.9 in the world, but no.

You'd take a point if asked beforehand, but when you're 2-0 up and have so much space to counter in it feels a real missed opportunity for a big three points in a top six away game. Especially considering we gave away two soft goals, and gifted them some real momentum to come out second half and hammer at the door.

Still some things to fix though. We've got to manage key moments better and be smarter, and Neville's comments about lack of aggression and being too passive are generally correct for every game of ours at the moment whatever the scenario.

It's all such obvious stuff

Winks and sissoko didnt control 1 minute of that game.

Play the right back on the bench at right back.

Why can we all see it. So so poor.

On the break they were they for the taking 2nd half. So many breaks and we created 1 solid chance. Even that was from an angle (so unlucky Kane)
TBH I don't like Poch way of handling the players and their playing positions.

Vert can clearly play on as sub in the last few games but he continue to let Sanchez play and struggle.

Till today, he even allow Sanchez to play at RB when Serge is on the bench.

Serge is an outright RB yet he was not played to allow another player to play out of position.

This is just not going to bode well on the team morale.

That’s two of the five away matches to top six rivals done and dusted. The performances are a concern but I’m not overly worried given the players who have been out of the team for one reason or another.

We can move on now with a settled squad and hopefully get key pieces like Ndombele, Lo Celso, Eriksen, Vertonghen, Dele, and Son fully up to speed within the next run of matches. This group has much more to offer than we’ve seen so far and our top four rivals have major issues themselves. I’m calm and I think Poch is too.
That’s a good point Jay B - 2 out the way, and two draws. We’ve been guilty of losing those away games to the bigger clubs.

A good result on the whole.

Got to sort out this decision making on the break. So many chances squandered.

Winks MOTM by a country mile. So those who think hes not had a good PL game can screw their heads back on.

Poch didn't get it right today. Sanchez at RB was madness. As was not using Moura off the bench.

Rose to be dropped after the break. Time for Davies.
