This change of shape has made a massive difference. Still can't see us getting anything out of it, but at least we might be able to end with a bit of pride

This is how we should've started. We’re more open at the back, but it's not like that more defensive set up made us look solid in the first half.

 

[scaramanga]

I think we should do a brickhousery XII thread just for Scara, he loves a good hack lol

Lol. I grew up playing football when only fannies wore shin pads.

I wasn't blessed with much (any) skill or pace, but people didn't go past me twice.

 

[Scoopage]

How's that not a foul

 

[Kandi1977]

fudge off ref! That's a fuxkikg crystal clear FK for Aurier! Elbow in face!

 

[Robbo]

How is that not an obstruction?

 

[AdamB]

Imagine if Ndombele had Sissoko's pace, stamina and energy....

 

[Cochise]

As much as I hate listening to Upson go on about it he is right. We still have no style of play, this is as bad as it was 6 months ago, though I guess it's essentially the same set of players.

This ref is a total fudging clown shoe

It is but he went down easily

 

[DeanoAustin]

Lamela has been sensational. The sort of performance where you wonder why he doesn't start when fit. Shame he never does it for 90 mins.

 

[Cochise]

N'Dombele with magical feet but there's not enough in front of him.

 

[Bullet]

Winks has done some exceptionally good things in the second half; commentators aren't noticing though.

Sorry @thfcsteff but you're totally wrong on this one

 

[Robbo]

Not really, but he got that foul on Aurier completely wrong. Overall much better than most of the crap refereeing we see in the PL.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

It’s 3-5-2 now

He's not in a Leipzig shirt.

Inevitable and not the same set of players as 6 months ago mate.
Eriksen gone, LoCelso and Bergwijn in, no Kane, no Son, no Sissoko (all three big parts of our side the last couple of seasons), Jan's decline...this is what Poch warned us was coming because we did not refresh year after year. I have great sympathy for Mourinho and actually think it is to his immense credit that we are even in with a shout of anything.

 

[Danishfurniturelover]

I feel if Jose can get 3 or 4 of his players in in the summer we will be a good team.

 

[Hootnow]

I sense a possible transfer request from Dele in the summer

Wouldn't be that upset about it anymore to be honest.

For whatever reason, whether it's his fault or ours, he hasn't kicked on as many expected over the last few years and it may help to rebuild the squad.

 

[nayenezgani]

Aurier you fudging donkey.
