3-5-2 it is.

Slightly worried about Perisic's defense against United's pacey wingers.

Shoot you were right. Good call!

Excited to see Hojbjerg, Bissouma, and Bentancur together.

Anything more evil than deflection goals?

Spurs are getting dominated. ManU press vs Spurs looks like Japan vs US last month.

Yeah both United goals were unlucky to a degree, but to say it's undeserving isn't true.

Newcastle is good. This will be a tough one.

Almiron vs Lenglet will be one to watch

Knew this would be an issue. Lenglet just stood there.

That was more on Sessegnon for me. You can't let a winger have a free run at your CB at the edge of your box.
Obviously Lenglet didn't do well either, but most CBs are getting spun by Almiron there.

Everyone calling for Conte out needs to get a reality check. We are bottom half of the table without Conte. The players have just not been good enough lately. Not one manager in the world could win the league with these players. We are so easy to press. Bentancur is the only player that will even attempt to break it and the fan base gives him shite when he loses it. Sanchez and Emerson on the same side is the worst technical combination in the Premier League. They have zero ability with the ball at their feet. Dier has been really bad with the ball as well. Sessegnon had a really poor game yesterday and it's about time we stop using his age as an excuse. He has experience at the top level in multiple leagues. The bottom line is outside of Romero we have cut so many corners trying to improve the back line. We have been talking about needing to improve since Toby and Jan left and we are still starting Dier and Davies . Romero is the only CB we have purchased that improves the talent in the squad. All of Europe knows that for Conte's system to work you need elite wingbacks. Emerson was purchased to play in a back 4 and is not even close to the level needed for this to work.

I don't think everything is doom and gloom, I just think everyone(myself included) needs to be realistic about this squad. Everything that could have gone wrong for us yesterday did and this squad is not good enough to overcome those kind of mistakes.

I'm contractually obligated to not allow any Ben Davies slander, but you're spot on with everything else here.

Very well said.

How can they be certain where the ball actually is when it's a blurred oval on the screenshot they used to measure the offside lines?

You knew when they took 10 fricking years to make a decision they were gonna frick us.

It was a great response in the second half though plus we were probably lucky to even be in that position Sporting missed a couple golden chances up 1-0

Good news is that Spurs are somehow still top of the group.

Bad news is that their last match is away at the Velodrome against Marseille.
