Who took Mason off for no reason after an absolutely brilliant performance?
Who put Lamela on instead of Alli?
Why don't you go a few matches instead of watching from your laptop?
Mason has just come back from a 2 month lay off and was obviously getting knackered around the hour mark.
When Kane went off Dembele then went to a position you have been wanting him to play for a while, No10, and then Bentaleb came on for Mason. The same Bentaleb you wanted to start over Mason btw,
So, you're saying that Alli should play on the right or is it keep Dembele on the right and put Alli at No10 when Kanw came off?
Poch did what you have cried out for him to do: Shoved Dembele to No10 role. He then put the only logical 'right' sided player on the right, Lamela.
Bentaleb then came on for Mason - who was knackered. Then we went to pieces in midfield and Alderweireld decided to concede a soft penalty.
Now, all of a sudden Bentaleb needs an experienced head to help him? Is that the excuse for him being pants when he came on?
Mason, also unexperienced, like you say did fine with Dier beforehand. Truth is Bentaleb was not good enough. Didn't do much defending or attacking as they waltzed through our middle.
Losing Kane and then Mason turned the game in their favour.
Eriksen was on the left, like you want and Dembele in the middle, like you want. You also wanted Bentaleb to play alongside Dier, instead of Mason which was where they all played for for the last 20 mins.
Chadli is also not worth a fuck but the only other regular scoring midfielder we have bar Eriksen.
It's called hindsight.
I would have had Carroll come on for Kane and kept Dembele out on the right.
I would not have put Bentaleb on for Mason. Not after I saw Dier and Bentaleb perform last time. Alli would have been the better option.
However,
We never lost 2points because of our transfer policy. It wasn't MP's subs. Most wanted Bentaleb to start. And if Lamela would have started on the right nobody would have moaned.
It was circumstance that led to the team changing.
Bentaleb Dier and Dembele in central midfield should have been good enough not to get walked over and Lamela was nowhere near the right when they scored the 2nd.
