Like I said mate he's had his chances despite where or how he was played. I don't think the tactics have helped any of the attacking players bar Son and Kane tbh

Then why the 'defensive winger's excuse like if his lack of performance is due to the manager and not the player himself?
Who would buy him?
He's broken. I wouldn't be giving him a new contract.
GLC is one more long term injury away from my hitlits too
Every now and then, he seems to say "fucking hell" in a cockney accent.
Are you free to take training tomorrow?
I said it's not helped him, but it's not helped anyone Lamela has scored 1 goal Moura 2 I think , Berg 0 not sure on assists but from 3 attacking players that's awful. None of them are world beaters but that's still awful stats from them all.
That hints to me that the issue runs deeper then the player isnt good enough. Especially when we saw Berg last season looking a real threat.
Like I said he still has missed a few good chances and should have scored some goals and he looks devoid of confidence. But it's a combination of poor tactics putting pressure on the attackers to take every chance and him feeling that pressure and crumbling
All we have now are league games and the cup final.
A lot of the ones he doesn't trust aren't going to play any more games this season unless we have some kind of injury crisis.
How to stop them turning into a toxic influence in the club and on social media might be the main problem.
I guess Danny Rose will have some others to train with now anyway.
Only Levy can “drop” players. You are head coach without such powers. What do you do?
What about Bale? He has also played in the same position
Drop players
Doesn't track back a lot and we know this. But he's also a technically world class player so I would expect his numbers to be higher then those players
Yet he was starting ahead of said players i.e. Mourinho valued his offensive contributions over his defensive work.
The real issue is the quality level of the players in question.
If I were in charge I'd drive Sissoko and Winks to the Galloway Forest and release them into the wild.
Who knows.
Simplest answer is manage them differently.
The individuals are nowhere as bad as the so called collective.
So the issue is one of how they are managed. And to the next question of but players I would go back to saying it's how they are managed.
And nowhere yet has the solution at such a stage been, to sack the players.

I don’t think I’m alone in thinking as great a shot stopper as he is and a good servant to the club he’s had his best days and unlike most goalkeepers who tend to be at there best in the twilight of there careers his best days are miles behind him
Granted on his day he is amazing but those games are few and far between
It’s time for someone else between the sticks and definitely time to step down as captain
I have a lot of love for our keeper, so maybe it's rose-tinted specs. Not going to say I'm right or anything, but other than Pope, I haven't see anyone who is clearly better.
I love Lloris as well and think he has been one of the top players to play for the club, but he is 34 years old and we are a team that is likely, at best two seasons away from the CL. It would be crazy of us to not start looking for his replacement.
It doesn't mean he sucks, it doesn't mean we don't appreciate what he has done for the club, if fact I would say one of the reasons that he should be moved sooner is that he still has value so if we move him it can help fund the purchase of his replacement.
We may take a downgrade immediately, but we need to look at a 5 year projection and how we can best serve the club.
For me what seems to be ideal is a potential Areola-Lloris swap with PSG. I say this because it helps with the financial aspects that are a concern with Covid.
Agree Areola is class
I also think Gazzaniiga is more than an able deputy I know he’s out on loan this season but he’s never let the club down when he has played.
When we first signed him I was very critical having seen a few howlers from his days at Southampton I just couldn’t see it working out but I just thought ok cover as 3rd choice but really stepped up when Lloris got badly injured a couple of years ago
