1. V interesting to me that Poch took Winks off, rather than Sissoko or Ndombele, even though he (Winks) was playing well. Suggests he maybe sees those as the midfield 2 when we revert to 3 behind HK. Lot of power in that combo.
Sissoko was awful first half. In positions to cross and doesn’t and have fouls away non stop.Why sissoko 5 mate he was fine.
Kane 2 goals only gets a 7.
Actually thought winks was class. Totally controlled the game and everything went through him
Funnily enough I was saying to the old man that we needed to go back to the 4231 as the diamond really is a failed experiment, we're far too exposed on the flanks with it.Eriksen changed the game. As did a switch to a 4-2-3-1. We could have been out there all day with the diamond and not scored .
How was Rose awful and at fault for their goal?Rose???? You must be having a laugh. He was dreadful. Not only for their goal but he was all over the place. Christ. We’re we watching the same game?
Eriksen MOTM - he changes how we play and dictates where his own teammates go to play our best football..
Agree, rose played well, was NOT at fault for their goal and most certainly was not poor today, one of our better players.How was Rose awful and at fault for their goal?
Firstly Sanchez was at fault for getting too tight to the player he was marking and instead of following the danger he just kept grabbing the same player. Toby wasn't marking anybody and wasn't alive to the danger. No midfield player covered the run of their midfield player who scored. If they weren't going to cover the run either they pass him on to a centre back or the centre back calls the midfielder back to mark him.
Rose simply came across on the cover as a good full back should. The player had the composure to cut inside and finish. Nothing to do with Rose at all imo.
He wasn't great but he was strong, attacking and combative as always. There were far worse performances eg sissoko, moura.
