Pochettino is a terrible coach. To not do a single thing about this defending is a joke.

Our main outlet was Madueke on the right wing. So Pooch subs him and brings on a short arse midfielder to help defend against hoofball crosses into the box.

Alfie coming on for Palmer 

Yes, bring on Gilchrist for Jackson or Palmer and go 3-4-3, match their formation and give the wing-backs a direct opponent

How come we cannot get or hold a ball....

Poch’s solution is to bring on an extra defender and play 4 CB? Wtf!

Oh no we're switching to a back 5 this is ominous, last time we did this to hold on to a lead with Poch we conceeded late and dropped points

Our defensive shape is broken.

6 minutes, thank f**k

Disasi isn’t very good positionally. He is giving me the fear. 

All this happened once tall boy Noni came on 

FFS Is no one picking up Chong

I bet Silva can't wait to retire ....Gilchrist for Palmer seems odd...

Nkunku has made little impact today. I think Broja did better up front.

 

Jees that was close to 3-3 ... I might skip the last 5 minutes of this ... giving me heart palpitations LOL. Hopefully here comes Alfie to shore things up 

Chong is ripping us to shreds.

Guys, whare is the fault in Poch ?????

0-3 and now 2-3..... players are soft idiots

That's Palmer and Madueke off now so we have absolutely zero attacking outlet. Pooch is banking on us defending against hoofball which we've been terrible against.

 

Absolutely baffling.

We are total shambles... This will be on Poch totally.  He should have managed this better

That is just inviting pressure though; he needed Sterling/Murdyk on to stretch the game.

Even if ŵe win this we're absolute sh*t

 

We're sh*tting the bed here.

Personally, I hope the owners are looking around for a top coach, because we are never going to progress with Pochettino. He has no clue how to set up a defence, and if you can't get that right, you have no hope.

We just need to keep the ball instead of trying to do a quick counter 

Getting totally creamed down the right side....this is shocking defending and in game management.   

Makes sense to me. They've consistently been doubling up on us out wide, which has allowed Doughty and Ogbene to put in ball after ball. They've scored from two, hit the woodwork on two and had one marginally disallowed. We need more players out wide, and we need the full-back to be more advanced.

Gilchrist now RWB, Gusto at LWB.

Desperately hanging on after being 3 nil up, pathetic.
