But hes hiding from the ball . We need Lamela on for him. Someone with balls.
Salah and Firmino have done fuck all so far
This is a pretty drab formation. It provides no penetration and has Dier/Dembele/Winks bunched together all been pretty useless.
Drop Eriksen back, take Dier/Dembele off for Son/Wanyama.

Everyone squealing for Dier after the defeat to Watford.... they have very short memories of his abilities, or lack of. I can't even work out what his position is and his role in the team. Yank him of and Lamela on please.
In part.
Kane looks like a 2nd rate striker, Eriksen not converting his international form. Moura not getting any support.
Terrible first half.
Liverpool eased off for about 10 minutes knowing full well we were just going to keep the ball and do fuck all with it. They done well in that respect to reserve their energy.
Trippier must honestly only be playing because of his end product, which has been non existent so far. So much space for Mane, his corners have been garbage.
Dier? More like dire. Right side of a diamond? Never. You either play in a 2 in a 4-2-3-1 or you don't play at all. Sorry mate.
Kane has been garbage. Dropping deep, getting in the way, giving the ball away, trying to take players on when he has no ounce of pace.
Eriksen is so off the boil it's almost funny. The header in the build up to their goal was just fucking pathetic. Get hold of the fucking ball.
Honestly, Toby, Vertonghen and Winks are the only people in that first half who can hold their head up high. Lucas is trying though bless him.

Son, Lamela, Sanchez, Wanyama.
Four players there on the bench who would significantly make a change in one way or another. Can't go on playing this shambolic formation against Liverpool.

I hate the new system of this season
You are watching a different match mate.
Then drop players. Playing with demotivated players and then losing is no worse than trying someone who might give more of a shit but losing. But at least they might try.
I almost think Poch doesn't have confidence in the 11 he has out there to play through the mid/maintain possession for any length of time.... thus lets just toss up a prayer and hope for the best.
Robbie Mustoe is a bellend.
It does remind me somewhat of the AVB days at the moment, some of the players look like their heads aren't in it, maybe the lack of transfer activity and the fact that ground isn't built yet makes them feel like we are just in transition and we aren't really trying to push to win things.
I think this is why, even bringing a few new players in can freshen up the squad and give them renewed focus or maybe some of them are tired and just not up for the fight anymore, in which case we just need to move them on and replace.
Our most overrated player i'm afraid.
Lamela gets twice as much shit as him no idea why.
Kane is a solo forward. This is taking him out of the game.
We have played shit but it’s still only 1-0 can bring it back. Biggest concern for me is Kane still looks dead on his feet, and Eriksen who’s been poor all season and I don’t think his head is quite right. I would get Son on personally at half time for Dier and drop Eriksen back
Any shot of Poch making a halftime sub??
