I urge you to check their last few games he has started and see the substitution pattern. So it is a plan.
And I stated he has no end product but he still made us look stupid on more than 1 occasion. So saying he is 'toilet' adds nothing but to reiterate my point.
So what was the point of your post? Just to publicly show your ignorance?
I've posted the exact same thing last year and the year before mate.
It's depressing.
Spot on, that was a horrendous horrendous sub, why did he think we would suddenly gain control of the midfield again by putting on Lucas
Winks takes the ball, makes a poor pass to someone in an awkward position, they pass ball back to him , this repeats over and over again. Any idiot would get tons of passes that way. But today he was worse than rubbish.
Look I don’t think anyone on this forum in clear mind would have thought we are up for the title this year. We have had a great run of games with good results but today it’s clear we are running on empty.
For the depth of this squad where we are is as good if not better than what we can hope for.
Next season if we are looking for a title shot we should be looking at 4 top quality signings at least including 2 top class CM’s, if we are looking for only top 4 we are good enough.
This jan and next summer we will see the clubs ambition by its ambition in the market. We shouldn’t be killings Winks and Sissoko simply because they are gassed and we have no proven alternatives, that’s not their fault.

It’s nice that you think point scoring in spurs favour is the same as someone taking delight in the fact we lost.
I’m really happy that after today you feel the need to play internet referee
But now you can kindly fuck off out of my face
You know something we don’t?
It's a shame we're not prepared to try....
But proven title winners tend to cost more than cheese rooms I guess.
Listen I’m a ENIC supporter but I have said numerous times that it has bencome all too comfortable. It’s all about top 4 - there is no pressure or expectation for anything else. We just occupy the position that Woolwich had.
No my point was that he was taken off with an injury
We just didn't have the legs today. Our run of games with 2 days apart had caught us up (not over yet). Can't fault Poch with the line up especially if you look at our bench today. We were running on empty in the 2nd half and with no option to change the game from the bench all we could do was hope our players could get the job done.
Just gutted really, can't say anymore.

This today was shameful. No way around it.
People who are talking about mentality or bottle or spursy or some other bullshit are absolute idiots. This isn't down to some intangible narrative nonsense. We looked slow and tired from the start, which is absolutely to be expected given the fixture congestion. We have been operating at our absolute peak capacity, and riding our luck to some extent too, it was always going to end up like this. I came into this match only hoping for the best but expecting the worst, because I knew that our chances of maintaining this run were getting slimmer by the match. We are not at all ready to win the title. If we can even secure another top 3 finish, it would be a huge accomplishment given the circumstances around this season. We MUST sign players in January, it doesn't matter if they wont immediately improve our starting 11; we need options, we need to be able to rotate more, we need competition for places.
It's sad as fuck, but not at all unexpected. We just have to go back under the radar where we thrive, recover from this setback as we always do, stop anymore fucking talk of titles or anything like that, and remember that we can't take anything for granted. We have to always fear the worst and fight for everything. That is our position amongst the elite, we are barely holding our own up there with the big boys and it's never easy.

I know his contract is running out and he won’t sign one so that’s him off come the summer.
No. Wolves were all over us from the 2nd half whistle. A decent first half performance and wolves were always in it. However 2nd half WE were total shit. Not wolves. Cannot believe how bad we were. Just zero effort. How the fuck
This was THE game.
First big team to play and we bottle it. Plain and simple.
We need to give Gazza a chance, we just CAN'T suffer 3 goals from 3 shots at goal.

Just poor all round, from management to players.
Trippier clearly suffered from the head injury he got. From that minute on, his passing was off. Should have been subbed off for KWP straight away. Horrible for the 3rd goal too.
Sanchez had a good game but I just can't get behind changing centre back pairing EVERY game. Davies was poor, but I can't remember the last time he had a good game at left back. As I mentioned before Bournemouth, it was silly to play Rose for the Bournemouth game when Wolves was always going to be tougher as they use their width.
Winks controlled the first half, but in the second half he looked tired and was surrounded by tired players. Eriksen back on his early season form today. Woeful. Sissoko full of energy but mirrored the rest of the team. Could be the end of Sons purple patch as he was garbage today but we'll see against Cardiff. Dele clearly rushed back too.
Lack of correct subs back to being a problem today. Lucas, absolutely garbage. Why take off a half injured central midfielder and bring on a usually wasteful winger? It left us completely open in midfield and Moutinho took full advantage of bossing the game. Get Skipp on ffs. At least he is youthful, enthusiastic, shown composure beyond his years and can actually defend?
We'll learn from it - but fuck me, losing 1-3 at home to anyone is a shocking result. Title hopes over? More than likely. Liverpool are likely to be 9 points clear of us with a goal difference which is nearly double ours which pretty much makes it 10 points we need to make up. They've dropped less than that in the first half of the season so far...
