Didn't think we were as bad as some of you are saying...
String of individual mistakes letting us down. Long ball, we're in complete control, but Chadli loses a header with himself and heads through the Stoke player who crosses it to an area where we're in control, but Vertonghen heads it into a danger area where Adam scored. Second goal, more of the same, control of the situation from a rather hopeful lofted ball. Dier can do one of two things, leave it or clear it. Getting a poor touch into Lloris is just bad.
Other end we weren't good enough, but got the ball into good areas, just failed to make it count.
Then of course Chiriches with the red when we looked capable of turning it around... Just terrible.
One of those days... One of those days that come around a lot more often when your back 4 is two centre backs by trade playing as full backs, your 4th choice "already-gone-in-the-summer" centre back and a goalkeeper strangely short on confidence by the looks of things.
Thought the players responded fairly well to going a man down. Most of them put a real shift in, but we also tried to attack and were a bit open at the back.
Lamela and Kane (second half) our best players, Dier and Vlad the worst.
Feel sorry for Pochettino. Can't wait for the summer, we need to do something about this squad.
