I actually thought Kane looked sharp. Holding up the ball well and spraying balls around. Looks quick. I just can't believe the sloppiness of our full backs and CMs. We are giving the ball away constantly. Sometimes just get it up the pitch. Inter don't exactly look threatening.Very sloppy first half an hour but we started to click into gear the last 10-15 minutes. Kane really should’ve buried that, something isn’t quite right with him. He’s seriously lacking energy as is most of the team, hate to say this but I think Dembele has lost a step or two over the past 6 months.
We lack another creater in the midfield, when Toby isn’t in the side it’s even more evident because we rely on only Eriksen to spread the play.
I think this game is for the taking, but I can also see a sloppy pass or mistake causing a goal against us. Ben Davies seems off the pace today and I feel like he’s the one who can make that mistake.
And no one moves to receive it from Ben. And we all know Ben is not a dribbler. Get Lucas on in the second half for Son and we will get more movement on the leftI don't think Verts is doing him any favours. He takes 3 or 4 touches then ships it to Ben and says you sort it out.
If CL games are not motivating enough then i don't know what isIt is not one player, everyone needs to be 10 per cent better.
Sorry but Dier has been good. Covering a lot of ground and slowing down and spoiling almost everything they are trying to create. (He gave a couple of his lazy passes early on but I think he's doing a very solid job tonight).I've spotted Dier moaning at a few players in that half (Aurier, Sanchez and Vertonghen) despite him causing most of our problems.
As soon as he is 100% fit then definitelyDier's been poor so far this season. Time for Wanyama?
That's one thing about him that boils my blood.I've spotted Dier moaning at a few players in that half (Aurier, Sanchez and Vertonghen) despite him causing most of our problems.
Sure, but at the time his teammates were ball watching and doing nothing, so he was carrying the fight on his own.He could've have tackled without fouling in a dangerous position.. Just a thought.
And to think we were so desperate to sell Rose for thisDavies with a league two performance. Crazy how he didn’t make us suffer a goal.
