We have been out played here but without Dean it would have been 0-0. He truly is one of the worst officials and the linesmen should have gone to Specsavers
Emphasized by the 4-1 booking count.... They were the ones up for it throughout. Very poor against a decent team playing above themselves.
He shows so little ambition - and the couple of times he showed for the pass, he then changed his mind after his teammate was committed to release the pass for him.
Posted this on the Prem board. Basically sums it up I'd say. To add, why on Earth Poch left the subs so late I'll never know. Kane was ****ed from about 30 mins while Alli (and Eriksen) were anonymous from minute 1.
Luck run out and real form now being seen. Even if Arsenal scored by dodgy decisions it's nothing to do with the fact that we didn't score.
Was going to post - "Get Winks on" at half time but there's no point. MP never makes changes at half time. We always wait until an hour and leaving Kane/Alli until 75 minutes was just ridiculous. Don't keep saying "Be brave", be ****ing brave. If it's as badly off-key as it was today, make changes at half time, not when it's too ****ing late. I love MP but today was desperately poor.
Gonna defend Trippier and Davies here...the movement from Dele, Kane and Eriksen was piss poor throughout. We defend from the front and push teams back... today we did none of that. Kane should not have been playing as he was clearly not fit. Son should have started as he would have been able to led the defending from the front. Dele MUST be dropped. He is appalling in most matches and is living on his performances of the past 2 seasons. Dier has been poor too...it's easy to believe that his head has been turned as he is showing no passion. Finally...it has been a long time since I have seen a passionless performance by us in a NLD. Awful from minute one. Hopefully they and Pochettino will learn from it
Totally disagree, Kane had a Stonewall penalty turned down, it would have been an underseved 1-0 to us if the video replays had been brought in this season instead of next.
He’s got a good cross. But that’s literally it. Sometimes it’s incredibly effective, and helps us to win games. But football is a 90 minute game and requires differing ideas. Unless I’m watching a different game to everyone else, most of the time I see a timid right sided player who can’t take a full back on, and offers the same blindingly obvious 5-10 yard pass inside on the edge of the attacking 3rd every time. Teams are picking up on it and just marking him to prevent the cross, and putting bodies in the central area, as they know that’s where he’ll play it, which suffocates everyone else down the middle. And surprise surprise we huff and puff with no end result. And what’s worse, is we continue to do it when it’s clearly not working. Sometimes you’ve got to show you’re prepared to get in behind to give something to think about. It’s all so obvious and extremely AVB.
I wanted Winks to start this one, without sounding like a cocky **** it proves my point about how I said I can't rely on Dembele anymore. If he can only play 60 mins then I'd rather he does that for the u23s and just allow Winks and then someone like Oakley-Boothe (or a recall for Josh) to come in and play. 60 mins is no use to us. Love the lad when fit but unfortunately I think he's finished. Body seems ****ed and can't handle a full game.
Mike Dean looks like one of those old villains from that old supermarionation show Stingray., or something.
Dier is wanted by Mourinho, Deli by Real Madrid, Eriksen by Barcelona and Kane by everybody, on this form I can't imagine why but if they want to go then ok.
By all means sound like a cocky ****, if you're right then why not? At least it shows you're sharp and have a good eye for weaknesses.
I have no idea how to discuss this sensibly mate. No offence intended but selling those four is beyond insane.
None taken but they'll be off soon whatever I say. You can't see them staying if we fail this season can you?
Disagree. Eriksen, Kane and Dele will be there for our first season at the new ground. If we win trophies it'll be longer. Dier is a different kettle of fish as he is replaceable.
