    No personnel changes at half time. That’s a surprise! <whistle>

    They are making it look like men against boys...they are so comfortable all over the pitch.

    Second half has started exactly the same way...trying to play out and giving it away.

    Tis games like this when you miss Son and Alli, as they
    press hard in the opposition final third.

    If Eriksen and Winks are going to play scaredy cats, then
    push Lamela further up in MF as he presses aggressively.

    If we can’t defend against them, then surely the only answer is to attack and keep the pressure on. Right now, they’re tearing us a new one. It’s about time we had a go at them yet Poch just sits there looking at a tablet.

    Even I am struggling to say anything positive about this performance.

    I have to say, for what is a 5'8" ish player, Moura does score a lot of headers.

    Kane looks like Rasiak
    Eriksen looks like Sean Davies
    KWP looks like Rose on a fat day
    Rose looks like KWP when he is like Rose on a fat day

    Tis amateur at best, wholly unprofessional (and thus unacceptable) at worst.

    I seriously think we actually want to lose this game. In tennis, we call that tanking.

    Surely, this playing out from the back needs to be tempered when the other team is pressing so high. Hit a long ball to Kane ffs. Using some ****ing common sense!!!!

    The problem is that they are quite sh*t at it.

    If I was coach I would have all the back 4 squad members in,
    and do a whole day of 4 vs 7 in the press, until they learn to
    pass out fast and forward.

    Think I can count on one hand the number of touches Kane’s had.
