No Kane No Gain said:
Bit conflicted about this. On the one hand we're winning and on the other hand that was quite possibly the worst first half of football I've seen.

Pochettino really needs to drop this Wnyama-Dier partnership, it doesn't work and slows us down. The only time it's looked alright is when we have Janssen up front as he has the hold up play to make something of the hoofs that are inevitable when you don't have anyone capable of bringing the ball up to the forwards. Other than Son our attack has looked all over the place too, Eriksen and Alli are showing no shape whilst Kane looks half asleep.

Should've had a penalty and the Stoke players have been buying a lot of freekicks. We need to be smarter though as we're playing into their hands since they keep getting the decisions.

Thank **** Stoke have been so **** so far. Need to improve for the second half though, they've done us with comebacks before.

Can't disagree...but Pochettino has turned things round in the previous matches so hopefully he can do the same today...not confident though to be honest
 
Nah lads, played **** and winning, now it's our time - the 2nd half (last half hour prob more accurate)
 
The contact on Son for the non-penalty was a lot more than the contact that got Liverpool a penalty in the last game. This is why the league is far more determined by refs than we would like to admit. Amazing for a multi-billion pound industry that we can't find a better way than subjective decisions (and as long as it's subjective, it's easier to favour certain teams).
 
That was a lovely move. Nice ball by Alli, great control and shot by Eriksen. Unlucky.
 
Alli gets penalised there, but Arnautovic pulls his shirt and then pushes him in the back.
No chance of getting anything if you go near a keeper nowdays, though.
 
Good run and pick out by Davies, but Alli's a bit hesitant on the shot.

Wanyama doesn't do a lot wrong there, but he's on a tightrope. Probably a good idea to get him off.
 
Good move by us there.
Wanyama needs to be replaced or we'll be down to 10, despite not really doing anything that bad
 
Good block by Walker, after some shoddy defending. Got one in the face, though.
 
The balance is poor.
Eriksen + Son should not be playing in an MF without Lamela,
as neither press hard enough. Dier + Wanyama : enough said.
