That's my point. We split the CBs really wide yesterday, pushed Sessegnon and Aurier up, and had all sorts of a trouble trying to play out from the back with Ndombele and Eriksen as the double pivot. When Ndombele went off and Sissoko took his place in the double pivot, it became even harder, because his first instinct was to pass it back to a CB. Sessegnon looked really scared out there, and did not want to receive the ball under pressure. Eriksen's head is clearly not right, and playing him in a double pivot was never his best use anyway. Then we've got a #10 whose entire MO is to ghost into space in the opposition's box, and a winger (Moura) who, for some reason, would do well to trap a bag of cement and whose pass completion rate yesterday was 59%.

If you look at the first goal we conceded yesterday, Eriksen and Ndombele were in bother with Southampton's aggressive pressing. Sessegnon was not comfortable in possession, and knocked it long. And this is where it started to get especially cuntish. Alli's effort to press Southampton's CB (this is the defensive process Mourinho was speaking about) was a fucking disgrace. Then you have Alderweireld making a fool of himself, and a goalkeeper who is so fucking high that he does not even bother to dive.

Or as I remarked yesterday wasn’t even on his toes!!

Could have been waiting in a queue at Tesco’s checkouts for all the movement he was making

A real problem area for us now as Lloris doesn’t fill me with confidence either

Meunier, Fraser Matuidi and Callejon would all be great shouts for not to much in January surely

Ses isn’t ready. Replace Ses with Dele.

Also, GLC is much better than Winks. So, replace Winks with GLC.

Is the LB Davies our Davies or Alphonso?

I think we need 2 proper centre mids, Winks is great at controlling a tempo in midfield. I do rate GLC though.

Sess is ready, just needs game time. Kane plays so well with 2 pacey wingers either side. Look at him for England.

Ben Davies. If we’re playing an attacking RB then Moutinho will play a LB who can sit in.

Elite club but 3rd rate chairman unfortunately.

We haven’t been an elite club since the mid 80s
Not even close to top bracket.
The levels to which we have fallen are epitomised by the absolute idoloising of a manager that allowed us to play in the CL four times and lost a final.
The club are STILL selling CL final 2019 t shirts.

We are a small club with a big history and a big ground. Our players suffer from the same small time syndrome as our fan base.
