West Ham and Chelsea got away with it!

Now, a result which matches the performance. Fairly even game. Both teams not offering much then suddenly Sporting came alive for the last ten minutes. The lack of energy is disturbing away from home. Better use of the squad is required! Especially the fuss made about the lack of depth.
 
First half I thought Sporting were there for the taking.

But with two in midfield, if Bentancur has a bad day (like today) we can't rely on someone with such limited ambition as Hojbjerg (who was poor as well) to pull us through

Top it off with Emerson pretending to be a WB and a non-existent front 3, what did we expect?
 
I hope to see a 3-5-2 from now on. Drop the players who have been shit, regardless of name or reputation and play those in form.

Lloris
Romero Dier Lengley
Bissouma Højbjerg Bentancur
Spence/Doherty Perisic
Kulu Richarlison

Kane, Son and Emerson on the bench
Kane's won 10 points in the league already with his goals, despite being somewhat underwhelming in general. But actually tonight his passing was very good and he created multiple solid chances, including that offside goal. He can't be lumped in with Son and Emerson right now. His major problem over the last few matches has been the total inability of others to get him the ball when he stays forward.
 
Kulusevski the answer? Thats like replacing casper the friendly ghost with the ghost of Christmas past.

WE NEED PACE. We need a direct player that bombs forward. We need creativity in midfield. Sick of us being a tall rugby team. Its fucking boring.
 
Emerson is a tosspot, big ass one.... squanders every chance going forward (why players continue to pass to him when there are other around, diff if no one else is there) .... weak ass player, no awareness around him in general , looks clueless does silly unnecessary fouls that can be avoided and just laughs his goofy face off.
 
Don’t want to hear anything about Emerson he is what he is and works his balls off
Kane
Romero
Davies
Tepid performances.
Not the worst time to get this result but it shouldn’t have been
 
I mind the loss to be honest.
I should have said I don't mind the loss as much as the boring football.
But my point is that we will lose games, we may as well give it a go, especially against the weaker sides; I thought they were there for the taking.
Something just doesn't feel right with how we are playing. There is always a huge gap in the 10 spot for one thing.
 
Half arsed performances doesn’t win you games away in Champions League. I hope Antoino give them the hair-dryer.
No no no!

This is contes fault!!

RWB who cannot play over the halfway line.
Picking a striker on a stinking run of form.
Playing two in midfield who have been outgunned in virtually every game.
Late changes.
Not enough change.

This is on him. He has no right to bollock them.
