Just watched Watford beat Wolves. Would take their midfield, goalkeeper and manager over ours. That shows how bad I think we are

Dele looked like he had been on the piss last night

As I just said, him and Kane looked fucked and offered absolute zero against Norwich. What did we expect would happen today with another short turnaround? We got what was to be expected, two even more fucked players offering even less. When we have such a limited gameplan entirely revolving around quick transitions up front then this is going to affect you big time, and they may as well have been given a breather for all the use they will be. But no, ploughed on and Kane's got injured. Terrible selection and management for me.

The lack of investment has been criminal, how can we be going into 2020 and still no sign of this cheese room at the new stadium!!

Everyone believed the media hype that we didn't need new players, e.g redknapp saying how do you improve on dele, Eriksen etc... But the truth is probably that Poch had 100% of their maximum growth 3 years ago. I think Son still has a little bit more growth to come but the others have gone past their peak. Massive errors made by the club. There is no chance in hell that they're good enough to compete for the title

Poch wanted many of them out and talked about refreshing constantly. It never happened. Feel free to blame Poch if you want but he's not the one signing the checks.

So it's Levy and Levy alone who decides who will be sold and who will be signed. It always amazes me when people forget that there's always the second and often the third part involved when you try to sell or buy. And I just can't forget the ITK's that the money has been there for Poch to spend.

I think we need to give Poch a few years so that our team can change a little for him to come back


Why do people keep saying limited Lucas?

Do they notice Dele, Kane and whoever else always in line with the opposition defenders and not moving around? Not one drops deep or takes a defender away. Remember when Kane used to score from the left or right side edge of the penalty area? He used to move.

Dele and Eriksen not providing options.

Stop blaming players that try to advance the ball when the attacking third players aren't providing options
Lucas has 1 good game in what 4/5? And trying to defend him with shortcomings that Kane faces but saying Kane is just as bad really don’t help your arguement.
It’s the last kick of the game 1 defender and keeper to beat, who do you want Kane or Lucas?

we looked sluggish all day, which given that all teams are in the same boat fixtures wise, is simply not good enough. Jan and Toby can't play together anymore, especially not without a proper defensive minded midfielder protecting them. hopefully given time jose can turn this round as we've been as poor as i can remember since chelsea.

And that is down to the players being shit. Theres absolutely no evidence to say that Poch was getting things right towards the end. In fact its the opposite. The players stopped playing for him, that's obvious to even the thickest of fans. The worlds best manager wouldn't get a tune out of this lot.
Because the best manager would drop those who don't perform. Yes, Poch made some mistakes, like any manager would, but the problem was, he did everything to help individuals and the team but those who Poch put faith into didn't give anything back to him.

Lucas scored some very important goals last champions League campaign, right? He can score. Fact! But I'm not talking about Lucas going through on goal.

Who do I trust in the ball out wide? Lucas

Who I trust in the penalty area? Kane

But there is a process in between Lucas and Kane where an option needs to be created for a chance to be created.

Time for changes. Minimum 3 new signings in January. Minimum 3 youngsters promoted. New formation with square pegs in square holes. Underperforming players dropped or sold. Find a settled XI and stick with it.

Write this season off and build for next year. Then bring in 3 or 4 more players in the summer. Complete rebuild including a DoF, ideally Campos from Lille.

Too many players can't be relied upon.

Lucas was diabolical today everything he touched turned to shit.
