what has happened to davinson Sanchez, thought we had the best young centre back in world football last season , this year he's looked more Anthony Gardner than king Ledley
 
These pundits make me sick.

We are on top. Okay we made another mistake but I put money on us equalising and going on to win if that first half's overall performance is replicated.

No need for changes as yet but we got to watch out for the counter attack.

They are there for the taking. But please not another United with the goalie playing a complete blinder.
 
Sanchez missed header but in a back 3 if you are over halfway line and the spare man of the 3 coming forward to make a header the other two have to cover better, they were all culpable

Sissoko is just as culpable. Absolutely lazy letting Ramsay run off him like that.
 
Lucas needs to be on ASAP to actually run at someone, we pass the ball too much. Hope their time wasting shoots them in the foot. C**ts
 
And what exactly has he done? He can't just be on the pitch because his name is Harry Kane. If he doesn't perform and we have shown better displays without him then he should be off.

He created the chance Eriksen shud have put away. He's capable of scoring out of nothing.

And yes...I do think the fact his name is Harry Kane...the fact that every team would pick him in a heartbeat...is a good enough reason to keep him on the pitch when we need to score
 
We definitely do seem to be trying to make things as advanced as possible. Too many extra touches, taking on one too many players etc.

Keep it simple and we're back in this.
 
Sissoko is just as culpable. Absolutely lazy letting Ramsay run off him like that.

Absolutely it’s just amateurs in this thread solely blaming Sanchez for goal for losing a header in their half, loads of other things going on he got no cover at all
 
I really don't know why Poch persists with this fucking 3cb system. It means we have a man less in midfield, and when the two men you have in there are just fucking units, it means we've got no football being played there. Needs to take Sanchez off, put Lamela on, drop Eriksen back and go 433 or 41212.

Trippier's been decent, unlucky not to have an assist too, Sissoko's trying, but his technical deficiencies can't cash the cheque his powerful physique are trying to write, and just coughs the ball up every time he tries to bring it forwards. Neither he nor Wanyama can play a quick, incisive pass, so in an ideal world I'd fuck one of them off at half time - or pretty soon after - and get Skipp out there, someone who could get the ball ticking.

Kane fucking about started the nightmare, Sanchez, who's probably been our best CB generally today, then fucks up royally and Lloris compounds it by sitting down. Sissoko just lets Ramsey run off him which is fucking piss poor, Just the the type of piss poor shit that's been happening lately.
 
This is the third game in a row we have done this, so is it a tactical issue then if it isn't a negative mentality?
There is no single answer to our problems, football doesn't work like that. It's a bunch of different issues, but the most fundamental things are the quality of our players and the level of the opposition. In all 3 games, the opposition have been extremely competitive and well organised, and we look like we are starting to slow down as we get into the latter stages of the season. In truth, we have been struggling for a few weeks, and getting away with it, but now are not.

Fucking awful all around, but Sanchez knows his position on the field compared to the rest of the back 3. Ultimately it’s just an awful individual mistake compounded by other smaller positional errors.
