Defence nowhere to be found. sh*te players, sh*te manager, sh*te owners.

Not sure the owners are on the pitch....this is down to player selection and the poor coaching all over

All chaos, no control. 

This perfectly describes us. He needs to go

Badiashille is just awful. He has to go

Question is why he is playing, after Burnley. We have three centre backs on the bench!

How the f**k did Cucurella end up at right back? We are a terrible team defensively.

There's just absolutely no structure or organisation from the coaching team. It's completely evident on set pieces for instance.

sh*t defence all round, need clear everyone out in the summer

You can’t blame Poch for any of that sh*te that’s just players 

It's both. There is no defensive shape at all, that is 100% down to Pochettino. His defensive coaching is and always has been sh*te.

We were cruising….. grrrrrrrrrr

ALWAYS a free player at the far post..it has been the same for 3 years.

It's so often and so obvious you have to blame the coaching staff for not fixing it

I've never understood how he has previously had a pass. He's as flexible as an ironing board.

Absolutely no guts or spine 

I'm sure Poch will change things up at halftime.

Biggest issue is why this team can never control games. Even when we are cruising. 

Can we hold out until that HT motivational speech from Poch

Badiashile is totally chronic, always looks clueless when camera focuses on him. His facial expressions are like he doesn’t even know what day of the week it is. 

Jackson's been sh*t too. So f**king lazy and sh*t anticipating of anything around the box. He should be looking to get on the end of that shot from Gallagher.

Casemiro will be hooked at half time btw. We've basically been playing against 10 men as he's absolutely shocking these days.

To be fair we are playing with 8. Caciedo, Badiashille and Disasi have been a mess 

We had them on the ropes and managed to give it all away in 5 minutes. What a disaster.

Very much arsenal circa the last few years of arsene wenger

We relax and either make a stupid mistake or just let the other teams run rings around us. We're so weak mentally.

Us winning games tends to rely on us riding out these parts of the game without getting punished

But the owners signed crap like Badiashile, Disasi, Cucurella, Jackson and Caicedo.

Caicedo was fantastic for Brighton last season

 

Klopp just recently called him the 'engine' of Brighton's team

 

Why are we rewriting history to make Poch look less sh*t?

Anyone remember when we had a defence so solid that you could trust us to win, even when we'd only scored a single goal?

Gusto was onside there. Cheers, Lino

Really is the bread and butter run if a striker, just doesn’t think that way and is too content complaining
