Is Winks a league one CM who happened to come through our academy and capitalise on a poor crop of CM options and now has set himself up for life and has England caps?
People actually giving Romero a 6 or 7?! He was absolutely awful, passing was constantly going to Soton players putting us under more pressure. Was weak aerially and didn’t organise the defence at all. People rightfully slag off the same old players but are scared to criticise the fan favourites I see. Was a pathetic performance from everyone involved except Bentancur.
I said 2 years ago, we outside of lamela lacked a player comfortable on the ball who can dribble nowhere and suggested edwardsHold on, I was told WBs had little defensive responsibilty, that’s why we were gonna but Traore there he was just gonna bomb forward and be covered. But now we have a defensive liability at WB.... GUYS we don’t control the midfield, that’s our problem, it’s as plain as day. You want to blame individuals go right ahead but it’s our midfield as a whole is the problem.
Let's give him a run of 10+ games and for all we know he's still sharpening up his English skillsI whole heartedly agree. He was dreadful dreadful but he wasnt this beast that i see all people say he is all over twitter. He is a good player though but needs to play with Dier.... Dier is th eleader at the back... Romero isnt a leader and a coordinator at the back.
Yep, agreed and I'm sure Conte knows this. Romero is good but can be rash. Dier is key until we can get another leader in the summer.I whole heartedly agree.

Agree whole team was awful including Romero, I remember one awful pass out under no pressure that gave them a good shooting chance. That said Sanchez and Royal were so so bad I can understand hard to see beyond that. We had a none existent midfield, WInks was hideously bad and up top Moura and Son were messing up basic stuff, Bentacour only one I would give any credit for that disaster show, but he as Kane can well tell you can not do it all himself, we need a team, nevermind a squad, far too many weak links we've ended up with. Whoever gets 4th this year will definitely be a case of least shit.People actually giving Romero a 6 or 7?!

I agree with this. Conte’s preferred system does not work with Hojberg and Winks, they don’t have the skill set required. The quality of the wingbacks is a liability as well.We defend as a team, when you play with WBS u depend on your midfielders to cover. We simply don’t control the ball, we have not one midfielder comfortable on the ball, never mind under pressure, Southampton walked though us at home.
yeah but Traore wouldn't have fallen over his own feet constantly and would have beaten the press and got us up the pitch. Emerson offer nothing at all if he isnt defensively solid. He has one option in possesion and that's to pass back inside into the press. He isn't the only one though Hojbjerg and Sanchez are headless chickens when pressed total composure vacuum.Hold on, I was told WBs had little defensive responsibilty, that’s why we were gonna but Traore there he was just gonna bomb forward and be covered.

I think the problem was the changes in the back 3 totally disorientated our less capable players, in terms of handing over runners and where the defensive line should be. This was compounded by very intelligent movement (and aggression) from Southampton and their far superior midfield. Sanchez in particular looked confused and caught 'in between' the entire game, and was then rattled whenever he swung a boot at the ball.Falls apart if your WBs and CBs stand off all bloody game. More than once Winks could be seen screaming at Emerson and Sanchez to push up. They just switch off all the time.
