Drop Eriksen and show some balls, Poch!
We are in trouble and Saturday is either the game where we regain an element of pride and return to winning ways or the game where the chasing pack for top 4 gets right behind us.
Like one of the leading pack we look like we have collectively run out of steam.
It's too easy to blame players but they never mean to play badly so mine is an attack on our policy, which looks like it might come back to bite us and then a query on Pochettino, who has performed wonders but is again going to see us fall short at the business end.
I am not going into detail hear about 400 days without signing anyone but massive lessons need to be learned.
We can all draw on context and that in the round the squad has done well but that is glossing over the truth.
So it's really 2 issues for me. Squad quality and depth and then why we fall short literally every single time when the stakes are at their highest?
Absolutely no prediction from me about Saturday. The only fact is we will approach the game with some apprehension.
Not Aurier for me mate. 1 cross in 30 effective , error ridden , can't beat a man.i just wanna see a back 5 of Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen and Rose.
The players need to realise what a NLD means to us fans, and show some fucking fight on the pitch, I want the players to play like there lives depend on it, leave everything on the pitch , if I see a performance like last night then what is the point?
We'd also never played a League match where we had zero shots in target.... Until last night........We've never lost 3 league games in a row under Pochettino.
First on the team sheet should be those who really know really what this game means to us the fans..We'd also never played a League match where we had zero shots in target.... Until last night........
Who's going to step up and scream and shout in the dressing room - because that's what we need right now.... Someone to fire them up and tell them to stop feeling sorry for themselves.
God I hope Dier is back.....
We’re getting thumpedIn all honesty, I am dreading it. Woolwich will be up for this more than they were in the home game and now ALL the pressure is on us. They win and they go 1 point behind us. Don't forget Chelsea also have a game in hand over us, so they could also get within 1 point of us. Man Utd can go 2 points behind us too. We do NOT want to get dragged into a battle for fourth ffs.
