Is it just me, or have you ever seen Pochettino make a sub, and you think..
"That's a really good sub!"
Because for me, that's never the case. (Or most of the time)
To then see a statistic from last season that, Kane's free kick against Villa was the ONLY time a substitute came on and scored. That is just dreadful.
Poch seems to have a good plan A, but no plan B.
These players can run around for 90 minutes, if there's nothing wrong with them, and everything is working don't take them off, unless its crucial.
Obviously Kane looks to have picked up a knock on his ankle, but don't bring on Lamela in his place.
Bentaleb has been a bit off in the last couple of games, bring him on and look what happens.
I'm not saying its straight up Bentaleb and Lamela's fault, but it seems like a pretty focal point on where it all went tits up. Obviously Ireland played a massive role in their comeback as well but we shouldn't be throwing away a 2 nil lead with 15 minutes to go.
And rant over. Apologies.
Genuine question, but who would you have brought on at the time with Kane's injury?
I didn't really see another option at the time due to our paper thin forward line.
