Enough of the excuses. We should have beaten this sorry excuse of a footballing team.
Everyone else has, and Woolwich only lost because they had a man wrongly sent off.
We were simply not good enough. Fault lies with Pochettino.
The fact he couldn't get Alli to realise he'd miss the Chelsea match was the first mistake.
Second, I appreciate the Europa, but he didn't need to take Kane and Eriksen to Azerbaijan. We could have won, and we would not have lost with our replacements.
Third, Son and Mason need to spend some time out of the team. Mason has been and was terrible since he got back. Son is getting better, but with Alli and Lamela in, I feel we could have nicked a goal and the floodgates would have opened. In the end playing Mason and not being able to control Alli, cost us the game.
Lastly, I have no idea why we keep hooving long balls up the field, or just heading or volleying balls as passes. For a while I thought I was watching basketball with the amount of time the ball was in the air. Most of the time, we lose possession or slow the damn game down by knocking air balls all over the pitch. What the fuckery was that? Infuriating "football". Chelsea were not there to play football either, so it was one of the worst games this season.
Early days yet, but Liverpool are surging. All this time longer and Pochettino might lose out to Klopp. Do Liverpool have a better attack than us? Drawing is fine and dandy but the more wins other teams pick up, we will fall way the fuck behind.
We need to win every single game from now till the new year. Not good enough to be drawing with any of those teams coming up.

I imagine we'll see this:
Son - Eriksen - Lamela
Dembele - Dier
Though I could also see Eriksen on the left and Dembele in the middle with Mason next to Dier. I'm actually really looking forward to how he sets up on Sunday.
4 AM kickoff out here, going to be a rough one.
Your hate for Lamela is fascinating...If he's fit, he should be in the XI....I swear to fucking god if we come out weak 'cuz Poch started the A team minus the wingbacks and Dembele away to FC who gives a shit in the tin cup tourney...and Lame-ela should stay at home...
COYS
