Personally thought Deulofeu manufactured the contact by moving his left leg away from the line of the ball into Jan, An Ashley Young move (but a bit more subtle)

No matter what the formation, or personnel selected these performances arn't acceptable.

The most concerning thing of all, is the lack of desire to play for each other.

Set back, after humiliation... And still no worthy response in the effort stakes.

This is at Poch's door. I think he's done, and barring a miraculous turn around starting with this second half - it's time.

Imagine how much value the "Enic project" has lost over 12 months.

From one of the hottest teams in EU to this mess. Not to mention all the assets walking on a free next summer.

Poch has got to go - enough is enough!

The squad are not playing for him, its clear to see, this squad is more than capable of beating Watford, Newcastle, brighton! The manager is getting nothing out of them, they are tired and bored of his tactics.

The shit that he spouts every week we strengthening in Jan, then not, then new players are not fit enough - what other manager doesn't put new players straight in???

He rotates constantly, he is a joke and ive had enough... when was the last time we played well?

Imagine going 5 at the back at home to the team that had scored 3 goals prior to the game. The team bottom of the league, with no wins and their first choice striker injured. Their second choice striker also goes off injured. And we still fucking manage to concede.

Something is rotten at the club; and Poch’s fucking obscure sound bites and egotistic stubbornness sure as shit don’t help. If we don’t win this, he should go. None of the players look interested. Kane lazy, Winks pedestrian and brain dead, Sanchez useless, Gazzaniga celebrating their goal before it went in instead of trying to do anything for it, Rose declining into one of the worst fullbacks I’ve seen for us, etc etc.

Tanguy and Son must come on directly in the second half.

We have basically reverted to hoping that Toby or Aurier hits a wonder cross. Because we don't seem to able to play through a settled defence - and it's all to familiar. We've seen this before and we've usually been bailed out by Eriksen, Son or Kane.
As I said earlier, they wouldn't cross the road

If theres no half-time subs by Poch honestly he should be sacked on the Spot, time & time again he has failed to react to set backs this season & the end of last season & i suspect it will be the same today
That's completely wrong. He's been changing the way the team started in nearly every game for the past 10 months at or before half-time. The problem has generally been us starting shit and changing things, which snowballed into players getting more confused.

Our style of play is so woefully ineffective. Slow, boring. Kane getting no service whatsoever. It's awful.
We’ve been so easy to play against for almost 2 seasons now. Nick an early goal, 2 lines in front of the penalty box and we can’t break it down in 900 minutes of football, let alone 90. Even the tactical genius that is Steve Bruce could find that out. Happens time and time again.

That time's been and gone.
The fact that he's still playing most of them in this game, says it all.

Chopping and changing formations every match and picking the same players every week, he’s not learning is he?

Levy scouted Aurier....really??.....really??? You actually believe that?? Are you 8 years old,??
Levy obviously sanctioned it didn’t he? Poch wanted Ricardo and was given the bargain bin alternative. It’s happened so many times over the past five years that there’s only one explanation.

Indeed. That was the spring. Conceding and chasing games after halftime changes. Incompetence.

Get Son on for Dele.

Get Lamela on for one of the FBs and play a back four. Stick Sanchez as a CB, and use Jan as LB or Toby as RB, depending on which FB is taken off.

I’m here and it feels like it did under sherwood. The players have stopped fighting for each other. It’s over for Poch I’m afraid.
