How Soon Is Now

Pogbas been awful so far.

Martial been our best player.

adox

The state of Jones. Jaysus.

Game posssibly gone in the first half hour.

Matic poor. Pogba invisible.


Sigh.

It's not surprising he was fault for the 1st and now 2nd

He's not good enough to be starting in these big games

Ah here! He's having a poor game overall but Jones has easily been our best CB this year.30 minutes off a poor game doesn't negate all the good games he's had this season.

He lost a 50/50 header and made a shambles of a cross. Has also had one vital block to stop Ali in the box and another where he took it away from the man. Overall I agree it's been a terrible game for him but I'm sick of people never giving Jones credit and just jumping on him any chance they can get.

Also he played the full 90 minutes in both the games against Spurs and Liverpool where we kept clean sheets.

We're gonna concede again . Spurs tearing us apart

RobbingBandit

There's still plenty of time to turn this around

J. Marston

Any defenders on the bench? Jones should be hauled off right now.

We are wide open in midfield, we are for certain conceding again.

Pogba is too weak defensively.

Pogba is playing so high up the pitch at times. Matic is all on his own.

Pogba always drifts like this. We need to stick him #10 and get an actual midfielder beside Matic. I knew Alexis wouldn't fix our cat midfield but hell this went south much quicker than my worst nightmare.

Martial will def start, he was even rested for cup game. In the best form of his career.

Think we might go..


Lukaku

Martial sanchez

Pogba matic herrera

jose should have read that. Herrera would have more stable in a midfield 3.

our midfield so far has been poor

Tom.D.BJJ

We need an extra player in midfield

Grid.

Lot of sloppy passing.

S.M.B.

Pogba has genuinely no interest in helping out his defence. He was strolling back as Spurs created the chance that led to the penalty call.

duffman13

We've no midfield, Pogba and Matic need to get closer together both attacking defending. A left footer in the team would be nice, Shaw for young might help both in terms of attack and defence, id also switch the wingers! Shocking goals to concede though

I'd hook Lingard right now, for Felliani if fit or for Herrera. He is the odd man out and a change needs to be made.

sky88

This is why matic/pogba doesnt work againist the bigger teams wide open

Lingard probably doesn't deserve it but it needs to be done. Give Pogba some freedom

yep lingard off, fellaini/herrera on

adox

Pogba ultimately causes the team more problems than he solves in this formation.

We could get a tanking here if we dont change formation.

KH25

Can’t understand why we’ve played a 2 man midfield tonight. It leaves us far too open. Matic ends up having to cover the entire defensive aspect.

RobbingBandit

Get Fellaini on for Martial he's invisible tonight

J. Marston

And now he's booked. He must come off at half-time.

Rojo or even fecking Fellaini would be better.

duffman13

Never a yellow, Jones is gonna see red

Trigger

Jones didn’t even touch that leg fs

Adamocovic

For once in my life I agree with Hoddle.

Stick Sanchez in the central role and someone out left who will track back and defend more. Our left side seems to be where most of the attacks are getting their success.

Doesn’t work full stop imo.

I've said this plenty before but Pogba plays as a #10 regardless so we might aswell start him there properly. Do less harm to our team then.

RobbingBandit

Sloppy there's a red card coming if they don't stop the school boy stuff

football :pac:

PhlegmyMoses

Hard to get annoyed when this happens. Two mental goals. Need to get to HT and regroup

Adamocovic

Been a shambolic first half overall. Poor defensively and in possession.

Hoping we nick a lucky goal before half time but at this point I'd settle for us just not to concede again. Need to get to half time and sort this out. .

Yeah needs to be done asap

How Soon Is Now

Good thing matic got rest in last game causes he's had to be all over the place tonight.

Mantis Toboggan

Only Jose could play sanchez as a wing back.

yea he is all over the place and looks very leggy

Adamocovic

We are being starved of the ball for the last 10 minutes or so.

wanderer100

Hope Jose is sharpening up the knives . Disgusting performance so far

When did he do that?

pjohnson

Back to transfer deadline. Non existant midfield killing us completely. Maybe against Huddersfield be worth watching.

Unless I see any subs are made here. Then I'll watch again but no point now as is.

GSPfan

This is awful. Seems like we are losing the head altogether now with fouls.

Also Fooking stay on side for fook sake.

RobbingBandit

Hoofball already wow we are doooooooomed

Trigger

Young’s passing is way too laboured, I’d bring him and Lingard off for Fellaini and Shaw.. Fellaini as an outball to beat the press

bangkok

difference between Lukaku and Kane is chalk and cheese tonight.

Lord TSC

Jones awful. Young leaving too much space. Matic under too much pressure, and our attack and defensive aren't getting linked at all.

J. Marston

Jones surely can't come out for the second half.

Adamocovic

So pretty much, terrible all round.

Going to be a great comeback to watch though. 4-2 FT

Mantis Toboggan

Dier stuff so far

deaddonkey15

Little point in signing Sanchez if our attacking strategy is sh*t overhit balls over the top to an offside Lukaku that Lloris just cleans up.

The players aren't the only parties responsible for the way the game has gone.
