Ridiculous situation to which the guy has responded with a totally positive attitude off and on the pitch.
The Liverpool game and not starting must have confirmed his concerns though and I would be handing in a transfer request first thing this morning.
Poch has insulted him enough, time to make a stand. Such a shame and yet another player wasted due to some quirk of the manager.
Where would you have played him against Liverpool?
We played something like this; with Eriksen sitting deep to help out Aurier.
Gazza
Aurier - Toby - Sachez - Rose
Eriksen - Sissoko - Winks
Son - Alli
Kane
Son was given freedom to switch sides and Alli was tasked with closing down their midfield.
Had Moura been on; who would it have been in place of? He's not as effective at breaking up play as Alli, and defensively he would have been less comfortable than Eriksen helping out Aurier. His instinct would have been to run forward and this would leave our full backs even more exposed than they were and would force Son to be the one to drop back and defend.
Kane and Son did just fine up top and actually created some good chances. We should have been 2 up had it not been for the crossbar being lowered a few inches at half time by Liverpool.
