Not at the races. Alli needs to start playing football rather than diving. Son has been awful yet again. - how many times have we said that? Maybe he just is. GKN and Eriksen on, IMO.
The ref is awful Kane is getting the serious treatment and he does nothing. We don't look secure at all but the pitch is crap and the ref is even worse. Son is having a nightmare playing like a complete novice. What has happened to him. Is Walker on the bench? if so bring him on and Verts too, we need calming in defence.
The game could be reffed by Ledley fuking King and we still wouldn't win. We've been beyond disgraceful.
Some players are just made for cameos. They don't have the discipline to play for 90. Son is one of them. 20 minutes for him to bust a gut and he can usually be useful.
Interesting observation. If I wasn't on the verge of throwing my laptop out the window, I would research this further.
I'm sat here again thinking wouldn't it be good to have options like an Andros Townsend to bomb down these empty wings, swing in some crosses or take some shots. This constant narrow system has negated our ability to create chances or score. Playing not to lose is one thing but playing not to score is plain ridiculous.
Rose needs to show more discipline - there are acres of space behind him causing the defence an extra headache - as if they need that!!
I think he's used to having Vertonghen covering for him and the holding player covering for Vertonghen. He's given a lot of freedom to get forward, so others have to cover when he does. It's not working tonight, by any stretch of the imagination.
The problem is that our attacking midfielders haven't turned up all season, whether it be goals, assists or general creativity!
Well, as with the last game, I'm off down the local for the 2nd half, need a couple of bracers for this.
I would position it in the first row of seats nearest the byline just parallel with the halfway line, give Lloris and Dier something to aim for, you know. Might make a game out of it and everything: I slit a wrist every time they hit the cone. Could be fun.
