Just saw Utds goal... deflection looping in from 20 yards. If only we had luck like that!
we don’t take enough shots from those areas to get lucky like that

Please tell me you’re joking.
Eriksen and Alli not at their best, but I think Poch needs to address the midfield. Dier hasn't looked comfortable at CB and we've suffered for not having a settled midfield pair. Son looked good playing wide.
City, Liverpool and even Arsenal would have had this game wrapped up at half time.
But we need players on the pitch who actually has the potential to score or create a goal. Eriksen was awful today, Alli was poor, but who do you replace them with? Moussa Sissoko? He's not going to create anything. We don't have enough strength in depth when our key players aren't at it.I know Delli and Eriksen are great players but when they are having an off day they should be hooked like everyone else. I thought Eriksen, Alli and Davies were our 3 worst players but they all remained on the pitch for the full match. Poch can't play favourites.
Maybe they don't care enough
It's not the squad.
What's the one thing that's changed from last year?
Possibly. Not even joking - maybe they've decided to try in the CL this season over the PL. It happened before in 10-11, so don't discount it.
Yeah, it wasn't a match for Sissoko today. I guess Lamela could come in for one of them if he was fit.But we need players on the pitch who actually has the potential to score or create a goal.

Weve had dodgy results against West Brom at WHL too
It's not just Wembley......it's a lack of creativity. We can't overrun teams every game, the players are not machines.
There’s a lot of Pochs decisions that have a lot to be desired, but many on here always make excuses for him. He’s improved us immensely, but he still gets a lot of things wrong....Towards the end of the first half, Son was causing some problems on the left and looking a threat, then at the start of the second half, he was back centrally again. What was the thinking there? Poch has done great things for us, but I'm often less than impressed with his game management.
Not joking. Why would I be? Every season we have the odd good game and we think we are world beater.
Every season we mess up and drop points against so called lesser teams? Do we every learn no we ducking don’t!
So it frustrates the hell out of me. Nothing changed with this team

Last season we won 17 of 19 st WHL and went unbeaten.
So we've lost our real home advantage. That's it.
We had chances to win it to be fair to Poch. Kane, Alli both should have netted/ again. Wasn't the worst performance after a midweek game. But Rose needs to play more. Poch needs a midfield plan. The heart of our the team on the pitch is not settled at the moment. Should Dembele start? Should Dier stick to midfield? Should Winks start every game? Although he is one of our most important players, in hindsight, Poch needs to rotate Eriksen. He looked off it today.
While we're having a moan - playing Sissoko against the arse who were more likely to run rings around him, and not against wbrom where we need some muscle.
We had lots of chances second half. But you know what? In the past we'd have lost that. 2 steps forward one back.
you need llorente to do that ? winks playing there would have players marking him too.There were 2 greens close to him.
