West Ham Knuckle Dragging Pikeys v Tottenham Hotspur. Sat 23rd November 12-30 : Live from Billy Smart’s Circus Tent.

The subs were strange, especially by Mourinho's standards. Surely Lo Celso coming on and going into midfield would have been smarter than Eriksen and then Sissoko coming on.

Think he is giving all the squad a chance to show what they can do - so maybe more strange subs for the next few games. But both Eriksen and Sissoko fluffed theirchances, though I think they will get other chances.

I'm guessing that Lo Celso arrived back from Argentina on either Wednesday or Thursday and Jose might have thought he looked not quite 100% so why not give Eriksen, who should be physically fit, a chance even though Jose said pre match that he had to better understand whether Eriksen wanted to stay and fight or not.

He wasn’t played for two years and just got 90 minutes, give him a break.
We improved and we won

because this is the first time we’ve ever seen Dier play in midfield? It’s not his match sharpness that’s the problem.

I think it’s way to early to jump aboard the suck each other off hype train Sammy.

We played well first half, pretty shit second half.

I’ve seen you declare about seven first halves this season as “great” and “really enjoying this”.

We were about 5 minutes away from coughing up a 3-0 lead to the only PL team in worst form than us.

We still need a midfield and Dier is no more it than Sissoko is, or Winks for that matter.

In a way I'm glad about those 2 goals. Our defensive probs have not gone away and our performance was not that great.
But I am bitterly disappointed in the Moose. He fecked about in the build up and was weak in 3 or 4 tackles.

To be fair to the bloke he took a fair whack minutes after coming on.

Look at this RESPECT THE COCK . BC's trying to show his bona fides here. My friend Paul says he's a fraud and only eats fast food and kebabs.

Christ on a bike, Sheldon. I had unannounced visitors after 80 mins or so, and couldn't watch the end of the game properly.

Want Lamela's intensity back. Ndombele will add plenty too.

Rather Lamela than Lucas out wide for me. Ndombele for Winks today and it would have looked like Leicester at Southampton a few weeks back.

 

[bus-conductor]

I'm actually glad we messed up a wee bit in hindsight... a good bollocking will keep the defenders on their toes...

Messing up hasn’t worked for the last 18 months. Keeping a clean sheet would have given this team far more confidence.

If we get first half Dele today for the rest of the season I’ll be fucking overjoyed

Did you see the interviews afterwards. He looked pissed off. Mourinho has put the fire under him and told him to get his act together, in public.

Let’s see how he reacts but today looked good.

 

[Borks]

No need to wish death on Eriksen. OTT

What does warrant wishing death on people?

 

[Mrs Perryman]

Oh ffs she’s all over Clive now

Dont worry Sammy, your turn will come....... all in good time

 

[iz futbal]

Dier's massive everywhere unfortunately that's why he can't get around the pitch the fat bastard.

Ive wanted him back in the team. But anytime hes played that last couple of seasons, hes been absolutely the worst player in the team.

 

[scott]

Exactly. The word is untrustworthy

Which is not a good word for a defender in particular. With an attacker it's less costly.

Well, if you had to miss part of it then that was it. It was early season Spurs. Eriksen was on to give us some grit and guile in the MF though. So that helped us see it out.

 

[Fattynomates]

Hopeful not before he has won us the prem and the champions league.

Think he was talking about poch?

Downloading it now.

 

[Mrs Perryman]

It looks like CE missed a trick by not re signing with the club, he wanted Madrid but if he keeps going like this, he'll end up at Hoffenheim or somewhere similar.

Good, serves him right! A wasted place on the bench, when he's selected,IMO.

 

[Fattynomates]

Wonder how long that was allowed to stay up lol

Quality flag though whatever your opinion, frighteningly good likenesses lol

Quite ironic considering we have just hired one of the most well known managers in the land who has won it all, and we broke our transfer record this season

Based on Jose's comments and Dele's post game interview, it is obvious that the Poch change hit the team hard. Despite him seemingly losing the dressing room and the bad run, Poch leaving had a big impact and I am glad that Jose recognizes that and managing around it. I am sure there are a few that were thrilled but you can see the effect he had on some of the players.

I hope Jose can help certain players rediscover their form, and help the bad actors quickly see their way out.
