Poch went with this narrow diamond loads last season with Son next to Kane. It brings the best out of no one. How can we all see it and he can’t.
Well so many fans have complained about this diamond setup..but apparently were still playing it.an by the sound of it..it's not working!
 
It’s not just a Sissoko fetish in my opinion it’s he has also developed a fetish for playing Son through the middle, I know he is suspended today but Lucas is playing his role and as a consequence our best players are playing out of position Kane as the #10 now, he should have stuck Sissoko out right, Lucas to the left and kept Lamela in the centre then at ht bought Eriksen on for Sissoko and just swapped Eriksen with Lamela, at ht watch it be Eriksen for N’dembele and Eriksen out right.
Sissoko isn't a pivot or a wide forward - he can't fit into a 4231. Poch insists on playing him and so we end up with this awful fudging diamond brick.
 
We look very disjointed, but then there are lot of players missing. Nevertheless not convinced with formation, and we miss Eriksen (or a player doing the job that Eriksen does when he is playing average/well). We have no play maker at the moment.
 
Okay Mr Pochettino. Time to earn your corn and sort this out. Need to equalise early 2nd half or else can see this being a loooooooooong night
