Let's just please switch Alexis and Martial. Then stop playing that chipped pass straight to Lloris.
The midfield is to blame, you could drive the QE2 through that area, defenders have been poor but they have been totally exposed.At best, this will be a 2-2 draw.
Phil Jones is the blame for this. Nobody else.
That spending would be insane.Can we buy a new team before midnight? I am sure Ed is on it.
BigdaftGorby in the Sanchez thread:Pogba missing again as usual against the big teams. Not surprised at all by the score, I’m one of the few who didn’t get excited by signing Sanchez seeing as we have 2 failed wingers as fullbacks and a big useless lump up front.
They are. We have an extra man in midfield then Matic doesn't have to be picking you a player, much like Dier, and can instead protect the back four. Free Matic up and half of those passes through to Kane won't stick. They're easy balls because they have time and the space to play them into.We will see second half if Herrera comes on. So far Spurs are killing us with simple balls so it's not just about our midfield. I know I was the one that mentioned in the first place but Spurs are just passing straight through us.
No mate there were a lot of people stressing the need for 3 CMs. With Matic and Pogba one is slow the other barely defends, behind 4 attackers. Away from home at top 6. Fecking bollocks.He pretty much picked the team we all wanted. Not his fault all the players chose today to shit the bed.
Lingards' been alot more involved than Martial whose only contribution was that good dribble and wayward shot on his left (Edit - Oh, and that shot that forced the corner). Lingard needs to stay on because he's crucial in helping us carry the ball forward from the midfield since we just don't have the midfielders to pass it forward right now.Lingard off.
Need more from Lukaku and AlexiAgree. There's something still in this game for us if we force it.
....when he has timeEriksen is so good
Pogba hasn't been in a midfield two. I don't know what the formation was, none of the 3 seemed to have a clue what they were doing.That was atrocious. Midfield has been anonymous. Matic has been poor for the better part of two months. Pogba plain cannot play in a midfield 2. Martial been more or less invisible. Fullbacks poor. Just bleh.
Really. lets see the HT summary of ALL THOSE CHANCES!Of course, but that midfield getting overrun is the reason why spurs are creating so many chances, including the one causing OG
Even worse, Pogba SHOULDN'T play in it. Like using a Ferrari to pull a plough.Stop. Playing. 4-2-3-1. It. Does. Not. Work. Pogba. Can't. Play. In. It.
That's what worries me. Result like this and Martial on the bench for months.Brainless at the back, overran in midfield, and our most in form attacker playing in a position he has never done well in. you just know Mourinho's answer to this will be to take Martial off, put his beloved fecking tree on and start hoofing it longer.
Spurs are striding past him, he’s offered nothing defensively.Who would you put on?
Wanted him in United shirt for long time.Eriksen is so good
What a ridiculous post. If you think Phil Jones is all that is wrong with that then you’re absolutely cluelessAt best, this will be a 2-2 draw.
Phil Jones is the blame for this. Nobody else.
That is hardly a surprise, to be fair. Maybe certain players should not play that much.Forget the formation, a lot of players have not come to the party. Jones, Smalling, Young, Matic, Pogba, Valencia. Lukaku has hardly had the ball so I will spare him.
Lukaku has been crap and offered zilch. Pogba looks like he is contemplating either his next hairstyle or dance. Jones looking out of his depth for some reason.We were the better team until the second goal, but the game has got scrappy since then. One thing that stands out is Kane is so much a better centre forward than Lukaku.
