Sissoko needs space to run into imo, if that space isn't available because the opposition parks the bus, then he offers very little indeed. Maybe he should play in central midfield against these types of teams, instead of further forward, gives him a bit more space to work with.That should also be the last time Sissoko starts in the league in quite a while. We have better players than him and he offered NOTHING today at all.
I now know why Son was on the bench today. He is a shit player. He wasted precious 20min in the second half, doing nothing.
Not sure what more we could have done in this one. They set up to nullify us but we still got through in the 1st half a few times and were only stopped by great goalkeeping (and a little poor finishing from alli in his 1v1)
Any of those chances go in and the game is entirely different I reckon.
You just know the tactic for them was always going to be keep it to 0-0 until 80 mins and then start slinging in crosses. even the goal was a bit lucky after hugo made an outstanding save and it bounced right into Chadli's path.
I was impressed by our reaction and I think they will get heart from that. Being unbeaten still is great and we have some games coming up now against teams who will actually try to attack us. Just pray those injuries get sorted quickly.
But they also had 2 other good chances to score which we got lucky on.Not sure what more we could have done in this one. They set up to nullify us but we still got through in the 1st half a few times and were only stopped by great goalkeeping (and a little poor finishing from alli in his 1v1)

I see your 1000, and throw 10000(?) at you!
if the only way you can beat WBA is through sheer luck or by being extremely clinical then they would be a lot higher up the table. Your logic doesn't really add up at all.If a team sets up to frustrate and defend all game like WBA did today (at home as well... pathetic cunts) then you have to be extremely clinical or lucky to get the win - assuming they don't make any mistakes which they did not.
Unfortunately we were not lucky in front of goal and they were. Play that same game 10 times over and we would win 9 of them as the game would have been killed off in the first half. Foster MoM says it all.
At least I can sleep now knowing they didnt grab all three points the fucking mugs.
Right after Lamela went out and Son came in, we conceded a goal. What did he do actually rather than meaninglessly running around with the ball?
Don't bite.

Obvious troll, do not feed just bin him.
Yeah cos Son scored an own goal there... or Lamela would have jumped over Llois and headed the ball of the goal line and made a massive counter attack that would have resulted in dire scoring from half way with a bicycle kick.Right after Lamela went out and Son came in, we conceded a goal.

I get it but they were better than us in the second half so we must have a been very good first half.
PS. i didn't watch the first half.
It felt like the same as the previous 2 meetings to me.Reading hard for you buddy? I said 9/10 times we win that game. Not sure that would get them very far over the course of the season.
helped to set up our goal? drew the foul that we very nearly scored the winner from?
