That was the beauty of Dembele - a bully and a ballerina all in one. He’d shithouse the ball off those pencil-necked dweebs and then dance it around them to rub their snouts in it
Yeah 100% agree. People that didn’t rate Dembele were illiterate in football terms to me. The job he did was so important for us over the years

I can honestly say that I had no intention of watching today, I've been so disillusioned so far this season. But of course I will put myself through it again. What I want to see is the fight we used to show in this game. Even when they were on a different planet to us we would go there and at least show passion. The last few NLDs have been very poor in that sense. They have wanted it far more than us. For me, that is unacceptable. As a minimum we should treat this game with the respect that it deserves.

As it stands, not only do they want it more, they are also better and more cohesive than us.

If poch cant decide on an identity for various reasons then set the team up in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 and send them out there to fight like their lives depend on it. Even if we lose, we fight until the very last kick of the ball. Every sprint, tackle, header should be done likes it's our last.

If I see another poor, passionless, clueless display, I think I'm going to need some time away!

It's just not been good enough at all. Even the worst of our teams over the years played with pride. At the moment, the team is not showing how proud they are to wear the shirt!

Regarding the team. We are yet again hit by key injuries. I suspect Dier will come in to partner winks. I hope verts, Alli and eriksen return and Isuspect that Moura will be on the bench. But it doesn't matter, if we match them for effort and passion, the rest will fall into place. If not, they will spank us and the pressure on Poch will be huge!
