Needs to be sold or a sub. Great finisher but is like playing with 10 men when he can’t hold the ball up.

Werner and Johnson? The two getting the goals?

This is what fucks me off:
I can understand the ref not seeing it, but there's no excuse for VAR not to award it. Unless they're protecting the refs, of course.

I have great fear for the second half. We can mix up the personnel all we like but at the end of the day there is no Plan B tactically.

I totally agree but don’t hold your breath.

Only Spurs can concede 2 shots on target and be 3-0 down!

Maddison has been the worst attacking player and he has not been at it since coming back from injury. Slipping too much and turning into opponents rather than the early season player who was gliding forwards.
Defensively we are disgraceful from corners. We took for granted how good Harry Kane being at the near post nodding deliveries away was but there is no excuse for every corner being a minefield to navigate and every conceded goal being literally within the vicinity of the goal line. These aren't even 50-50 battles the attacker wins. All you do is touch it from under the bar.
I think we needed to get one goal back to apply pressure in the second half. Son was the big one and when he messes up a clear opening like that it is not our day.

It's infuriating because we played well for a lot of that, hit the post, somehow got a goal disallowed and somehow didn't get a pen and yet we're 3-0 down. But that's the issue when you just assume every corner will (and does) lead to a goal.
You can't fill a bucket with an empty hole at the bottom.

AFAIK Jediank does the defensive ones and Mason does the attacking ones. Maybe just switch up their responsibilities and try to hire a best in class to cover them both? I think you can do that without ruffling too many feathers tbh.

I can live with Davies not being able to perform a defensive transition. he is a squad player, certainly not good enough to play as a wide back in a game of this magnitude. something to address in the Summer. but to still display this ineptitude on defensive set pieces after so many lackluster repetitions is malpractice. and it's majorly structural, not personnel related. someone better put Ange on the spot for this.
