So many players out of form, what's going on?

Kulusevski lost so much creativity and finesse in the final 3rd. We desperately need our players to find some confidence back again. On a positive note, Richarlisson has looked good so far and the most likely to find the back of the net.

Imagine Rashford running beyond Kane and on to those passes.

We need a Son replacement. Richy is cover for Kane.

But that would still be just 1 arrow in our attacking quill. This is like Poch with the diamond...we haven't taken this tactical choice because it's so clever and effective...It's a life raft!

We've gone down this route because our teams is shit and there is no other reasonably effective means of scoring. To go out and further cement this regressive 1st division approach should not be encouraged.
 
Everything's coming down our right hands side..... I fucking hate it when managers do this..... So 1-dimensional and easy to combat.

There was a time when Dele Alli was legitimately the next best thing in football.

Still remember him tearing up Real Madrid and the PL with some insane goals.

Fell off like crazy. Still would have kept him over Lo Celso, Winks, Ndombele, Gil any day

I don’t want Poch back because professional sports hardly ever provides a romantic conclusion and going back never works, but fuck me we need some sort of identity and, at the very least, he loves us and wants to build something here.

What the fuck is this three at the back nonsense? We’re playing a system designed for pragmatic shithouse Italians with a sprinkling of WB magic. We just don’t have the players for it and yet, week in week out, he insists on serving up the same shit.

It’s so poor.

And it’s absolutely zero fun. There’s no joy in our team. Just positional drudgery.

Feel the same about Poch but if they make the change now we have a decent chance of top 4, maybe the cup, who knows. If we do nothing the season will fizzle out with more of this turgid shite, even if we win today. At the very least we might stop being a last on MOTD side boring everyone to tears.
 
Problem is the longer both teams play this back 5 lump ball bullshit, the longer it benefits West Ham because they're way more likely to get a knockdown off one of their donkeys and drop to another one of their donkeys than we are. Or a set piece, I can see us getting done with a corner or FK header for sure.

Hopefully some impact subs second half can turn the tide a bit.
 
Two teams with a lot of triers getting stuck in & being very organised and disciplined whilst offering little to no technical ability.

Needs to improve second half. It's so hard to be entertained by us.

To be fair, there was a slight misunderstanding of the rules by the panel and he was on the rule side. The rule is not that all movements of the arm when falling rescinds any foul by handball.

The player moved his arm to stop the ball (you can see he moves it towards the ball) and that movement was not necessary to help his fall, which never came anyway.

It is the most blatant penalty of all time.
