Oh come on, he was killing time, not Sessegnons reputation

exactly, this is nothing to do with football. most probably a means to a goal of 30 mil
hes running yes, but his game is league 1
There was a moment today which summed up why we struggle with Lucas. We managed one of our only moments of incisive football and it was 4 on 4 with Son on the ball. He ran straight towards the goal, dragged back and Lucas' run into the box was rendered useless.
We have no one that actually drags the ball our wide and hits the ball across the penalty area for a player like Lucas. In fact, it's often what we hope he will do for Son and Harry, only he's not very good at it.
I personally think he'll be a great player with commanding FBs crossing the ball effectively, but we're just not that team. What he certainly can't do is hold up the ball with defenders on his shoulders. If that's what we ask of him, he will always fail.
someone has got to him probably
Mick, he could have used someone else to kill time. This was the boys debut.
Sess, remember when you made your debut in the game where Gomes fucked his ankle? When Chris played for 100 minutes and did nothing?
I know Mick but the lad must have thought he'd get more than 60 seconds. It's not his reputation at stake here but the motivational aspect for him. Consider what he may have been like coming on for half an hour with a genuine chance to impress, far better than watching Eriksen lumber around.
Imagine him telling his family/friends he'd been named in the squad for today and that's how Poch lets him make his debut..... as a 101st minute sub....nice one Mr.Manager.

Yep. but I didn't mean retribution just on Sonny.
Retrospectively I'd have taken that deal from Fulham and laughed about ripping them off afterwards.
I don’t think he’s lost the plot at all
This is quite deliberate
When he first rocked up here I didn’t want him as he had never won anything
I was mugged off into supporting him as the team had a couple of good seasons despite him and still they bottled it and that’s down to his loser mentality
He’s showing his true face now dragging us down to further his own interests and Levy is as bad for not sacking the fraud
then its up to levy and joe to sort it, and dont be nice about it.
Why is he still playing them?
To keep faith in players who have made it clear there leaving is crazy, especially when one of them is massively out of form.
I will always love poch (unless he goes to the scum or chavs) but he doesn't seem happy. Something has changed and he isn't the same manager that he was.
The decisions his making, the grumpy press conferences, the ridiculous statements all point to someone who wants out.
But why? His paid handsomely and adored. That worries me. If his been undermined (which I suspect he has) so much that his lost confidence in himself and the club then simply getting rid of him wont solve the problem.
I think THINK that his gone a bit Billy big bollocks and demanded certain players and levy has totally non delivered over a period of time. Now once his finally got the players he wants it's all a bit too late and the relationship between pretty much all levels has broken down.
Everyone is at fault. Levy for yet again being an absolute nightmare in the transfer market, poch for being a moody prick who talks too much which has now effected the dressing room and lastly the players who have no excuse for performing as badly as they are.
Were in trouble. I've been waiting and waiting for Poch to start getting back to his old self but it's not happening. If we sack him you can see United snapping him up or God forbid the scum although I'd like to think Poch would never ever do that. But if we keep him then how much rope does he need before he snaps out of it.
Are athletico still struggling? If so I still like the admittedly fanciful thought of a Poch /Simeone swap.
I would imagine there is a very, very large drink waiting on a Merseyside bar for Alex Iwobi courtesy of Dele Alli.
But his first touch was an important defensive header. It’s pro football, not sports day. I bet he was delighted to get on and make a small contribution.

Either a very bad dislocation or worse, a nasty compound fracture. The latter might end his car
you're other kidney made a very nice breakfast!
He had a great game. Thought he was our best player by some distance.
Of course, next week, he'll kung-fu kick someone in the head and expose himself to a minor, but he was a-ok today.
Strange diagnosis from a professional man.
I don’t understand how son got a yellow, then only when the extent of the injury was known was a red issued. Can’t book based on the outcome but the intent and challenge. That’s unless var said it was a straight red. Very harsh. I only saw it once and in that split second it looked like a cynical trip from son then one hell of a clatter from serge. For me having not watched it back I feel the force of that second impact is worse than the trip. It’s bizarre to say the least
I'll take it but first let me point out the error/fallacy/problem with this line of thought/questioning. Just because someone favors a certain position doesn't mean they must mindlessly defend or attack every decision. I'm starting to see that this is a common mindset. Reason and logic have no side so even PochOuters can look for justification in his choice. Being able to evaluated other sides of arguments is a hallmark of intelligence.Regardless of all else that happened today (and that's quite a lot) can someone from the "Poch In" camp please explain to me (without insult or wit) one thing please.
What was the rationale (from both a tactical and player motivating point of view) in putting Ryan Sessegnon onto the pitch to replace Eriksen after a game that had lasted 101 minutes in total and had just sixty seconds remaining
Now, that said, I fucking well can't see any reason within the typical range of substitutions. Just like I can't see any reason for Christian Eriksen to continue to get preferred minutes...or any minutes at this point. It seemed like there were many reason NOT to put Sessegnon in this game. Maybe Poch wanted him to soak up the passion.
