Hopeless in front of goal, rudderless at the back, clueless in the middle. Apart from that we were OK.
There is no stomach for a fight in our team. That's all we needed to win this one comfortably.
Instead, we kept trying to walk the ball in, after an eternity of sidewards and backwards passing. And we kept doing it all second half. Where was the running ? Where was the guile, the guts, the flair ? In a nutshell, with 3 people, Palmer, Mudryk and Gusto. The rest were not interested.
I don't care if we lose 5-0, just as long as we give it a go, and put in the effort. But we don't.
Enzo is hugely disappointing, he works a lot but creates so little, oh for a Maddison or Luka Modric with a walking frame. Both our centre backs are raw but have promise, just not together, Todd Boehly and Eghbali would be no worse at defending set pieces after all the flak they've had to fend off, and either could have scored the header Sterling missed.
As for Pochettino, he gets zip out of these players, and on his performances , he'd struggle to manage catching the bus home, let alone manage a football team.
