Our attack had zero fluidity and was way, way too slow and laboured in building up. Insipid stuff :llorisserious:

We haven't not won yet, but what makes me seriously pissed is that today was a perfect opportunity for us to gain something over Liverpool and Southampton, and we came out like a limp dick.
You would have thought they would be fired up but they look like the AVB team of AVB, Sherwood and now MP.
Why the fuck do they all look so devoid of ideas, movement and tenacity?
Surely 3 managers cannot have failed to get 'the best' out of the 'great, gifted' players we have.
It's now official we have some players who are not really that good. Some bad purchases made with no thought as to where they would all fit into or benefit the team. Players that DO not suit this league and will never be consistently good enough in it.
If this is what they offer after having the perfect motivation after yesterday's results, then they should all be ashamed.
On this show it looks as though they still don't know what one -two is or running off the ball means (edit: or at least know how to pass it to the only player that does)
I'm sorry I have tried to be diplomatic and take factors into consideration but all but one of those Bale signings should be jogged on.
Lets get some players in who are all not the same. Players that make a team and, after so long, can play together. The team's attack was made up of 4 players, 3 who you should only have one of in a team.

This just in: Premier league's new £5bn TV deal negotiated down to £8.20 and a packet of Monster Munch.
That was horrible, eriksen has been as bad as anyone lately, people will disagree but bentaleb and mason will never be good enough can't think
of many worse partnerships in the league

Swansea was like any other win of ours...nervy and shit at the back.
If you want to act like Kane scoring a penalty and an own goal in his favour, means that the Leicester game was not a shambles, then go ahead.
Didn't watch. Roast lamb dinner with the family was far more appealing and apparently the sensible option.
Would ANYONE here have picked that starting line-up, and having seen Poch's selection take the pitch, did anyone really expect a positive outcome today? Season ends here, now just 7 games to endure before we can get on with our lives.
unfortunately Spurs entered in Burnley style of play from the first minute until the end ,looking tired,almost all the players don't look in great shape,if our defense line was ok ,don't concede a goal,the middle part of the team losing many balls ,especially Paulinho,and Kane looked isolated there in front...Eriksen had the best chance to score in the min.70,when he entered in the right of their box but finishing worst.
aulinhofacepalm:ochfacepalm:
They're players who should be played instead of one another rather than together.
Even if Poch isn't happy with the tools at his disposal - it's stubborn at best to carry on starting them in the same team with Dembele on the bench. If you think about it, it's not fair on either of them as both would be so much better with a CDM or ball-retention-kinda-guy next to them.
Bring on summer already.
Edit: on a side note, the international break must have tired our players out more than we initially thought. For me, that's the only rational way of explaining Paulinho (who is well rested) getting 90 minutes today.
:llorisserious:
:avbfacepalm:
:mong:
:defoe:
Well the defence was vindicated as they did nothing wrong so it's basically Paulinho and possibly Chadli that were questionable, with that said it's an area where they are all much of a muchness and whoever gets selected let him down, area to strengthen in summer the wide areas of 3, we knew that before the game
I think this thread should be relabelled 'Nothing to see here'
The same paulinioh who destroyed stoke last year?
Match rating IMO
Vorm - 6 not much too do but was ok I guess
Walker - 2 er WTF
Dier - 6 ok defending and that's it
Chriches - 7 probably our best player
Rose - 6 reasonable in parts
Bentaleb 5 - lacked his normal energy
Mason - 3 poor passing and then disappeared.
Paulinho - 1 can't pass, move, tackle, shoot
Eriksen - 5 few bits and pieces and not much else
Chaldi - 2 er what was that
Kane - 6 some lovely touches and hold up play in the very few touches he had and not much else, denied any service.
Subs
Davies - 6 left back playing centre back so was very difficult but did ok mostly
Lamela - 5 not good but massive upgrade on Chadli
Townsend - N\A to little time
Team performance - 2 no cohesion
Poch - 2 poor team and motivation
I suppose we got a clean sheet.
