First half was a fucking mess. We played some football, opened them up but were fucking flimsy and way to open ourselves.
Fair play to Mourinho, at least he made a significant change at HT, and no grumbles about that second half effort - possibly the best 45 minutes of football we've played under Mourinho - absolutely relentlessly camped in their half - but the forwards just bumbled the fuck out of everything we did.
Eriksen was absolutely outstanding 84 passes @95%, 32 attacking third passes and a cracking goal.
Ndombele with the ball is outstanding, why the fuck anyone would want him as a DM is baffling. And that beautiful ball by Lo Celso from that 8 channel is what he's about. You want some busy cunt in there hunting it and feeding it to Ndombele/Lo Celso/Eriksen.
If Mourinho starts us as a 433 with Eriksen/Lo Celso and Ndomble either side of Skipp or Dier we would be so much better balanced.
Moura's energy is great, but he's so fucking careless with the ball. When Alli just does something simple it;'s invariably better than the boat load of fucking flicks and tricks he fucks up. The pen a case in point.
Some positives came out of this game. we played much better with the ball in that second 45 than we have for a while, we must find the balance to keep players like Ndombele and Lo Celso (and Eriksen if he's sticking around) on the pitch. No more double elephant pivots.
