I used the goal as an example of a player (Rose) who was much, much, much worse than Aurier today and you still tried to add some blame Aurier’s way.I think the important part of what you’ve said is “If you’re blaming Aurier”, which I wasn’t, he was one of a few, as you have said yourself. You’ve created an entire argument out of something I haven’t said. Well done. And still no agenda.

It’s pretty clear you have an agenda against Aurier. Your original post reads as much. The fact you felt the need to dig Aurier out when he wasn’t nearly as bad as 3/4’s of the squad today says enough.
I didn't necessarily say the full backs were terrible just that we weren't getting balls in from out wide, even when they were closed down and passed to the support players they didn't do it either and nobody else was moving giving options either.This is the frustrating thing, people will now fucking hate the back 3 because of the football we saw today but arguably given our lack of defensive midfielder it's a necessary evil. What's not necessary though is to not play the players who actually look to make things happen with their passing namely Lamela and Ndombele as others are not in the squad atm. I thought the structure added a bit more solidity to us but as you say the fullbacks were terrible first half, Aurier improved second half.
I'd say the 4-2-3-1 admittedly looked a lot better however although I'm concerned by how unbalanced our two cm's will be regardless if we can't get a DM up to speed.
It’s honestly mind-boggling.Not sure what to make of anything anymore.
How Rose continues to be picked I don't know. Rose should be nowhere near this team, his legs and head are gone. Davies is better, but Poch keeps picking Rose, why?
Toby and Jan were both woeful and yet he hooked Sanchez at half time? Two players who have put in repeatedly poor performances and as things stand, won't be here next season.
Lucas cannot play against teams that sit deep. He was a waste of a player first half.
Unsure why there was so much stick for Dele today, sure things weren't always coming off, but he was always the one who was going to make something happen.
Completely at a loss. Can't work out what Poch is trying to do, and why players are playing so poorly.
It’s honestly mind-boggling.
All Poch ever wants to talk about is starting a new chapter or having this painful rebuild and yet he’s continually picking players who publicly or privately have stated they wish to leave over players who want to play for Spurs.
You’re bang on with Sanchez. I didn’t understand the sub at the time and I still don’t. He was probably the better defender out of the three as well.
I’m starting to see some alarming parallels with Kane and Rooney, all starts with England...A couple of points: Kane needs to be dropped or rested, we really need to play ndombele as a starter with Lamela and aurier is an app long footballer
ok who would you like to come in?What I saw out there is a group of players woefully short on confidence and lacking in trust of each other, the manager and themselves. That results in players being timid, distracted and guileless.
Then there's a manager who seemingly wants to die by the sword. Clearly he has learnt the grand sum of zero in the past month. Nor does he seem remotely willing to be brave. Which I thought was his thing. Being brave. But with that lineup and with those players I only see a manager that is either studdorn to the point of recklessness or a coach scared shitless trying to play it safe. Neither is a good look.
What really sticks in my craw is how obvious it is that we are past the point of no return. This train left the station a few months back, yet for some reason Levy is still slouching on the platform waiting for a train that will never arrive.
The right and brave thing to do now is put Poch out of his misery. And start thinking about how to salvage something that is starting to resemble a lost and potentially disastrous season.

Exactly, the only thing with Sanchez could be having picked up a yellow.It’s honestly mind-boggling.

Can’t have been that bad. It’s game of the day on Sky 8.30pm.might tape it and fast forward the crap bits.!,
Right now I’d quite like to see neither Toby or Jan unless they’re going to sign a new contract and remember how to defend or pass a ball.He has to play Verts at LB and Sanchez with Toby in the middle moving forward,
