I agree. And with Bankrupt Spurs. Maybe we should all calm down a bit.Very few clubs in the world can keep 2 top class players per position happen
Don't you agree that , if you watch him, there's so many opportunities for players to give him the ball yet they go wide or square? Maybe they have little confidence in him, I don't know , I'm not at the training sessions . But all I see is a player finding space repeatedly , not getting the ball & when he finally does he panics
Maybe there is some truth in it but at the same time I don't really see him screaming for it. I don't think his positioning is that good. Doesn't stay central. Maybe they don't have confidence in him. It's just no surprise that when he goes off, we start playing with more energy and movement and the goals come. Alli coming on helped too. I don't think being subbed off was a tactical thing

Watching today's game I thought our second choice full backs are better than most of the first choices we've had for some time. Don't know if Hutton being on the pitch sparked that off...Very few clubs in the world can keep 2 top class players per position happen
But when the overlapping FB's are looking for a cross he's hopelessly out of position. Caught out laying the ball off with a 2 yard pass, and then turning to get in the box and it's too late. His positioning is poor imo.I think he's just looking for the ball, he goes wide as Mido , soldado & many of our out of form strikers do.
I think once he gets his feet on the ground , he's a real talent

Can we still be friends?

I fully agree although modern CF do not seem to stay central. Does he play this way as he is expected to or is ge asked to play the old fashion centre forward way and use him as a target man. The way Chelsea play suits Costa staying down the middle and long ball football., Maybe Im wrong and Janssen hasnt got a clue or he is working his bollocks off? I feel hecwill coje good.I think he's just looking for the ball,contributes ide as Mido , soldado & many of our out of form strikers do.

You could say that about any system, better the player? I feel we are all getting wrapped up in systems. Chelsea use 3 CBs and get everyone behind the ball because Luis is weak and past his best and Cahill cant defend running towards his own goal. We play 3 CBs who can all defend well. The 3 yesterday were solid and allowed the rest to get forward..Im sure Poch got some valuable insights on the second eleven by playing 3 at the back. Simply doesnt work well without top notch wing backs and, in particular, the creativity of an Eriksen. Dropping a defender and adding another in attack worked wonders. Live and learn.
Poor Vinnie looks like he needs a map to goal. Rarely has the ball facing it. Still hoping the penny will drop at some stage, but he wont be playing many minutes in the first team on current form.
Disagree, he lost a defender, Alderwierd to push forward , we scored. They tried to counter this by making 3 subs to get back in the game.The game opened up and we were too good for them.we won 2 nil, he got it spot on over 90 mins.Think poch got the formation wrong too. 3 attacking players never looked potent. Not surprised a formation change resulted in a couple of goals
Vinnie needs time but time is running out. Think he needs to go somewhere like Sunderland or Hull City on loan and come back with about 10 goals.
