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.
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.... NOOOOOOOOOGo 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 ?
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.

You have the patience of a thousand saints.Yeah I don't call this really trying to improve and you've all ready written off Ndombele so maybe you should practice what you preach.
I suppose they thought Man U were in for him they're all over the official spurs page at the moment.
Not sure what that has to do with our back line but OK ????????So how did we score our goals yesterday? We didn't win possession high up the field?
Yes it is a fact he mocked Ndombele
It is a fact, at least it’s a direct quote from Jose that Ndombele told him thatWhy isn't Ndombele telling Mourinho his in jury isn't fully recovered enough to play a fact
Yep, I haven’t claimed otherwiseI mean Mourinho told you this is exactly what Ndombele told him.
I’ve not once said Jose was right to mock him.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?
You know Pogbas a massive pussy right?

I will never promote Eriksens involvement and have been calling for him to be dropped two years before it was trendy.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.

Our front three were pressing for 45 minutes, watch the game again and it's noticeable how that energy level just drops off from the start of the second half ...I thought you said earlier that our front three just fell back so our midfielders could sit deep.
