when your tactics is to pin a side in and your wingers are johnson and son you are fucked anyway. our midfield is shit, we dont have any controller or competent defence screener. sarr is decent box to box in an open game, but against sides like today who know they have to just sit in you need silk.Haven’t been able to watch this as I am travelling. When you don’t have your first choice defence then I think you need to protect it a bit and so I just think you need to dominate the midfield. Not sure Bentancur and Maddison can do that well enough. Should perhaps have started Bissouma.
Palace got beat at home to FulhamPart of the "journey" is not handing over wins to winless teams like this you fucking clown
The defending would be comical if it wasn't so fucking tragic . Gaps everywhereAnge and the current coaches obviously cannot sort our defence out and seem so inflexible with this high press , surely his time is coming to an end.
Yep….it’s the same with HerpesYou cannot fight spursy, you just have to learn how to live with it.
We are missing one of our first choice back 5 and Maddison isn't on the pitch. I don't think these are the issues to be honest.
Serious, Brennan Johnson must be te most overrated player we have, the guy is so poor in almost everything, look at that pass jesus
You should have killed him!!
My bad. Thought Maddison was starting. Van de Ven is a massive miss though and Dragusin not up to it so far. And I agree that we have lots of problemsWe are missing one of our first choice back 5 and Maddison isn't on the pitch. I don't think these are the issues to be honest.
It’s a bit of a mountain but we have the players for the come back.
But even they must have learnt by now - it's happened to many times for them not to realise a patternIt’s absolutely complacency. We’ve been doing it for years. Beat a big team? Immediately lose to someone at the bottom of the table.
They thought this game would be easy and weren’t ready to play hard. Same way we lost to Palace. When will these tossers understand that you have to play hard no matter the opponent.
Where have I laughed ? And there is no need for rudeness.
Udogie is running into every bit of space Son wants. It's an absolutely terrible FB-LW relationship. I don't blame Son at all, who actually put in some good deliveries early proving he is on form. Fucking Udogie just runs forward every damn time leaving our wing completely unguarded, EVERY TIME.
Happy clappers love his tap ins but ignore 99% of his gameSerious, Brennan Johnson must be te most overrated player we have, the guy is so poor in almost everything, look at that pass jesus
