Bony and now Routledge. They're gonna go for it. if they take all three points, it will have been brilliant management.
That was bad. Total domination, no goals. A couple inches lower on Kane's shot and we would all be happy now. One of those days. But that's why we love this game, amiright?
This one is on Poch, he took a page out of the AVB team selection and tactics. Still don't understand what purpose Sissoko serves. He doesn't score, he doesn't assist and he isn't a holding player, so why he is even in our squad? I would rather have seen Winks in there or Llorente and Kane from the start. And then the tactical switch at half-time - Trippier on the left? Really? No left foot, no pace, all he did was receive the ball and pass it back to the centre backs. Surely he could have sent on Davies. And then Sissoko as right wing back... Aurier should have been brought on at the start of the 2nd half. Don't understand why we pay 23 million quid on a RB and then play 2 players out of position. Dele Alli was poor for the 2nd straight game. I think all this talk about him being good enough to play for Barcelona and Real Madrid has gotten to his head. Right now he wouldn't get into either of their sides.
when you park eleven men behind the ball, chances aren't going to come pouring in. we had ours - we didn't take them. I'm not saying Poch nailed it; but I'm not sure that any recommended switches were going to suddenly pull them apart. certainly agree about Sissoko in this match, though. with no space to work in, he's not got much of anything to offer.
