Except that's not what happened yesterday, in the first 45 minutes the front three were covering back and allowing the midfield to sit deeper, they did a pretty good job of stopping long balls reigning down on our back five. As the game wore on that intensity dropped and their back four and midfield were given a lot more time and space and started finding their range ... you could see it happening, I bet Jose was feckin' livid.

Despite what the papers say we were dominating the game playing at about 80% - only when we dropped to 50% did they get a look in .... pushing up the back line against a team whose only attacking plan is long balls over the top ... that makes no sense ... stop the long balls being played and don't let forwards run in behind. We did that with ease for 45 minutes then we lost focus (yet again) and stopped pressing from the front ... that was all on us.

So how did we score our goals yesterday? We didn't win possession high up the field?
 
Go easy on him; he's just butthurt cos he was grossly mistaken about Eriksen's strength of character during the constant debate that took place over the summer.

Amirite, MVP MVP ? :sonpoint:

Sprinkled with a little 'Poch ain't coming back" dust and the poor lamb has gone full emo.


He needs our love and support right now.

:dierpochhug:
What the fuck do you mean Poch ain't coming back....say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so. I thought him and Jesus were just off on a jolly...are seriously telling me we're stuck with Maureen.... NOOOOOOOOO😉😉😎

There are floating rumours that #thfc are looking at the possibility to bring in Mauricio Pochettino on a 6 months loan deal with an option to make the stay permanent. It's believed that Daniel Levy would like some depth in the management department. | @Ohnobolo
 
So Mourinho mocking someone is a fact?
Yes it is a fact he mocked Ndombele


Why isn't Ndombele telling Mourinho his in jury isn't fully recovered enough to play a fact
It is a fact, at least it’s a direct quote from Jose that Ndombele told him that


I mean Mourinho told you this is exactly what Ndombele told him.
Yep, I haven’t claimed otherwise



Is Mourinho right to mock a player who tells him he doesn't feel fully recovered, then plays and aggravates that injury and now is out for longer?
I’ve not once said Jose was right to mock him.
I don’t believe he aggravated his injury based on the fact it’s now reported as a hip injury when earlier it was thigh, hamstring and ankle.
Do you understand that as I’ve written it four times now.

You do know Mourinho has form for this don't you?
You know Pogbas a massive pussy right?

So you haven't been unhappy about the amount of time Eriksen is getting?

My problem is, that most of the time we play like shit. Yesterday we almost let a mediocre Championship team catch up with us.
I will never promote Eriksens involvement and have been calling for him to be dropped two years before it was trendy.

2-1
They didn’t catch up.
We are shit because we have players here that shouldn’t be here, an unbalanced squad that the last manager assembled, and injuries and players lacking match fitness and two of the new signings not settling in very well
