Mate, don’t compare that to even latter day Poch.
Poch never set us up to lose like this cunt did today. Poch wasn’t a coward. Leicester had twice the number of shots we had today, at our fucking place for fuck’s sake. The amount of pressure our back 6 (yes 6) has to absorb week in, week out is fucking criminal. I am not even going to blame Aurier for the penalty...it must be mentally exhausting trying to defend when all we are doing is defending. The guys at the back never get time to come up for air.
Mourinho is an utter shitcunt. The game passed him by years ago. Our table position is absolutely fraudulent. We have spent all season stealing games off more courageous opponents and now we are being exposed for the frauds that we are.
That was disgusting today and the blame lies squarely with the self-promoting oxygen thief responsible for this turgid, gormless style of football.
Not really my point mate.
My point is, can anyone actually tell me in positive terms, what our midfield actually gives us in terms of helping with the attacking side of our game? Harry and Sonny continually win us games on their own. We’re utterly reliant on them, keep them quiet and in the most part we have no one that’s picking up the slack. We have a midfield based on workhorses and luxury players that often flatter to deceive.
Back in prime Poch days, we had Dembele dancing through opposition midfields, driving play forward, Eriksen unpicking defences. Rose and Walker giving us the width and the pace down the flanks creating space in between the flanks and central defence. That’s why and I know it sucks, our best way of consistently getting results is through counter attacking, as it allows our only real consistent threats (H&S),the space to do the damage. Sit back on us and we’re piss easy to play against, coz other than the odd flash from NDom and GLC, we have very little coming from midfield in terms of creativity.
Reguilon is a threat and a bit of a shining star, Serge is a bit like Walker in terms of his delivery but Walker’s pace scared the shit out of the left side of any defence and enabled him to get in behind.
I really don’t see GLC making a consistent difference to our attacking play, NDom just doesn’t seem to be able to get fit enough to play 90 minutes but clearly has so much potential. We are crying out for a Carrick type player to play next to Hjobjerg and an attacking mid that can make things happen.
