    Eric Dier

    Good shout. I really think Sanchez needs to be coached to play on either side as a centre-half. Given he offers so little on the ball it shouldn't be such an issue for him to switch sides. We've had Toby and now Dier having to switch sides to accomodate him. Its extremely limiting to have a...

    Harry Kane MBE

    Kane has been very up & down this season. He was also very very poor against Watford to the point where you do wonder if he's trying. On the flip side I'd say he's played pretty well at Anfield & the Emirates and in the 3 home victories. With that in mind I don't think its a lack of effort its...

    Christian Eriksen

    I was also at the game that day and it did feel as though Eriksen had an impact on the tempo of the game even if he wasn't (iirc) directly involved in the goals. I get what you're saying Nayim - he didn't do anything outstanding but he did seem to have a general positive impact on play by making...

    Christian Eriksen

    I suppose the first time he did this against Villa on the opening day, Eriksen showed a level of professionalism and was instrumental in turning the game in our favour. His performances since then have been sadly lacking. I really can't understand what Poch is seeing to continue down this path...

    Christian Eriksen

    I agree its not a good look. Arsenal fans haven't come out well because of it. That said there's a difference here - Xhaka is trying but brick whereas Eriksen is phoning it in and getting away with it. The manager is culpable too for not pulling him out of the line-up. I certainly think a...

    Christian Eriksen

    One way to force the manager's hand would be for the crowd to get on Eriksen's back... If we aren't seeing effort I think they'd be entitled to do that.

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    I thought we were poor again on Saturday and only sparked into life after we finally scored. It was good to see some karma strike on Ben Foster with a mistake after all that time wasting again. It was interesting to watch Liverpool on Sunday who should be flying but got worse as the first half...

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    So what system were we playing? The diamond was abandoned at (or close to HT).

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    The concern for me is why did the pressing drop off after 35 mins. Over the last 3-4 years we've had no problem keeping that level up for 60-70 mins?

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    If you have a vaguely competent DM instead of Winks then both systems will work fine. If you switch out peak Wanyama for the current iteration of Winks in the 1st system you will see the same problems. If anything the 2nd system has an extra midfielder in there which should provide...

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    I don't agree with either of you about that opening period. I'd love to see the xG for that opening 30-35 mins because as I recall Gnabry got in behind in the opening minute and they then did very little after that other than a speculative 25 yard shot from Kimmich which resulted in a goal. We...

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    They both played last night and from 35-60 mins when we switched to 4-4-1-1 they were the central pair and we went from 1-1 to 1-4.

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    Where is this new midfield you speak of? Wanyama is no longer a starting option. Dier has looked off the pace when he's played. How do we know if he's in the same position as Wanyama? N'Dombele is starting games when fit but its going to take time for him to get up to speed. He's showing...

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    I agree the sub seemed unwarranted and made even less sense as the game played out the way it did. That's probably based on our perception watching the game and recent Wanyama performances. That said he does have all the data to hand. He has stats & videos immediately available on the...

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    The Verthongen issue seems to have come out of left-field and only since he was left out on the opening day. I thought he was one of Poch's vice captains? Poch can't seem to win. He's been advised by posters on this thread to leave out those who "aren't on the same page". He's tried that...

    Fixture & Ticket News 2019/20

    Got in at about 1020. Got 3 tickets together - went right through to card authorisation (redirected back to site after payment complete), then it threw me out! Fortunately still logged in so I was able to get another 3. Overall the system seems to handle the initial queuing better but you can't...

    Moussa Sissoko

    This article: https://statsbomb.com/2019/04/the-champions-league-underdog-bracket-preview-spurs-v-ajax/ adds some more context around Sissoko's role. I suspect your paragraph above is based on some of the content of that article. I draw some slightly different conclusions to the ones you make...

    Fixture & Ticket News 2018/19

    I was in at 1030ish. Had a ticket in my basket got to the "Complete Payment" page but it kept bombing me back to the start screen as soon as I pressed "complete". Not really good enough/acceptable.

    Harry Kane MBE

    I thought Burnley in particular crossed the line. There was one foul in particular that incensed me - Chris Wood thought it acceptable to jump into Aurier's chest using his shoulder to poleaxe him. A foul but nothing more (in the eyes of the ref) because no elbows were involved. Very clever...

    apart from his epic team contribution he also sent Kane clean through.
