    That was so piss poor from the defense. Lucas was awful. Lamelas run right when he got on the pitch he tried to drop it off to Harry in the box for an easy shot and lucas ran right into Erik. Ridiculous. Lucas' distribution is awful too. Hes only good to come in as speed at the end of games. Berg was awesome and no fucking reason he should have been subbed. Agree on Sissoko being subbed earlier. He seemed to be hurt and his lack of tracking led directly to that second goal.

    Another winks Sissoko pairing. And Lucas gets another start. For no fucking reason.

    Toby is out there at least? Trying to come up with some positives.

    Then we get an offseason with no transfers and free agent signings. Best time!

    No Sess in the squad for the 2nd consecutive match. That seems less than ideal.

    In all honesty I wouldn't mind those two if they were part of some signings. Just no expectations we bring anyone in that could step in and make an immediate difference. Bournemouth have some really nice fellows that would be useful -- Brooks, Mepham, Ake, Lewis Cook and the corpse of Callum Wilson come to mind. Just awful that we're not gonna be able to refresh this moldy ass squad.

    Also. Fuck Kelsey Grammer

    Hi guys. I was slated to attend this fixture prior to the world coming to an end. Other than seeing the stadium for myself, it wouldn’t have been the most desirable match to attend in the first place. Spurs putting down any chance of a Europa League hassle for us would be for the best.

    We have looked a little zippier, slightly more positive in our intent, and the lion share of possession. Missed the goal cause I walked away, I’ll find the highlight.

    I really hate him. I don’t know that running around and fouling people shows caring. I know we are trained to think that people who look busy are putting in effort, but I can’t stand him. He would be such a better player if he focused on quickly distributing the ball.

    I really have no need for optimism but if the following happen, we can still be in UCL contention:
    City ban upheld, of course.
    Win out.
    Arsenal beats Leicester tomorrow.
    Leicester drop points vs Sheffield.
    ManU beats Leicester on MD38.
    Wolves drop points vs Sheffield on Wednesday and Chelsea on MD38.

    Essentially, cheer against Leicester and Wolves. None of those results are shocking or out of the blue (except us winning out). We end up fifth under this scenario, although if Wolves only tie vs SHU and CHE, then it’s a matter of Goal Differential.

    Okay, back to work after that 20 minute distraction that will be all for nothing when we draw against Bournemouth.

    I too look at this and for some reason have hope.

    That said I'm looking forward to Lamela having a pass to an open Kane to score the opener against Bournemouth only to dribble in a circle with his left like he only has one oar in his canoe. Then for Simon Francis to head 3 goals past Hugo.

    The lack of any plan/identity on the offensive side is really starting to bug me too. We were playing better in the first half with Sissoko playing more advanced with Lo Celso. We reverted back to two in front of the back 4 with Sissoko dropping back with Winks in the second and were pinned back. Im not sure if its the change in formation caused that or if its the Mourinho mindset were starting to see of getting a goal and bunkering trying for the 1-0 win.

    Update, Arsenal sucks donkey dick, can’t survive Leicester after a senseless red card from a guy who’d been on the field for four fuckin minutes.

    Now need Leicester to lose to ManU and Sheffield or Bournemouth, and of course lose to us. Them losing 3 out of their final 4 would be a mighty collapse, but their strength of schedule in the run-in is pretty difficult.

    Fan admitted to “acting like an idiot” and said he never felt threatened by Dier and Southgate provided an unsolicited character reference, yet the FA still hands down this ruling. Is anyone actually surprised? The FA’s incompetence is second only to their arrogance.

    He has a much longer body of work than "playing a part" in a few of our few goals recently. His last goal or assist was on 9/17, when he scored. That is a string of 16 games where he hasn't played a direct part in a goal. He has 2 goals and 1 assist all season. That is not acceptable to me for the position he plays. Again, he is a player who looks busy and shows skill but ultimately the impact on the game is excused because of the fact that he looks like he is putting in a shift.

    In 7 years here has 16 goals and 23 assists. He has not even come close to his billing.

    Sure he didn’t get the assist or the goal, but Kane’s goals against West Ham and Sheffield wouldn’t have happened without Lamela. And he probably would have had an assist against Sheffield if Lucas hadn’t intercepted a through ball to Kane.

    I agree he hasn’t lived up to his billing, but he’s been a pretty good player for us when he can stay healthy. His health is probably the biggest knock against him.

    The stats don't lie over time, and especially this year. You can point to things like that for other players if you are focusing on them also, but the numbers over time even with injuries is not the player he was supposed to be. I am not saying he is the worst player int he world, but I would rather him on someone else's squad.

    Belgian duo for maybe one of the last times. Ineffective duo back in midfield. At least Stevie gets the nod over Lucas.
