Yes our defence was atrocious most of the time. Understandably Walker looks way off the pace, and would not be starting so soon if we had a decent RB. Fazio /J VT were all over the place and on another day we might have conceced 3 or 4. Davies I'm not sure about either, though he made a vital tackle in the box. Lamela and Soldado, for the umpteenth time were anonymous. How many more chances are they going to get ? Kane worked his socks off, and Eriksen yet again was class. I know we're only 4 points off 4th, but that wont last IMO. I only see Chelsea Man City Ars*nal & Man U as this years top 4. For us to break back in the top 4 we need new RB CB LB creative MF 1 or 2 pacy wingers and 2 strikers. ( all of whom need to be better than those we have) Some chance !
A new whole team then lol
, seriously you are absolutly right my friend!, it is going to take a good few seasons now to get anywhere near where we where when we made the top 4!, yes were hanging in there but only by the skin of our teath and with terrible performances, and we have seen what happens when we play a top 4 team! blown away!!, yes we played well for 20mins against Chelsea but we still got thumped, we where blown off the field by City and even rocky Liverpool blew us away so the warning signs are there!
.
I think in January he needs to get a world class striker, a very competent leader either a MC or DC, with Yedlin coming in he can be tweaked into a winger so leave Davies and Walker as the L/R backs, shift out Lamela, and Capouue, 3 players one in each key areas should be enough to get us going back in the right direction!, to me it has to be 4-4-2 with two wide men hogging the touch line!, force oposing teams to spread out and leave the space in the middle for Ericksen and Mason or new signing to exploit!, early balls wipped into the box for a decent striker like a Bony to thrive on.
Soldado has had so much time its increadable the manager has still faith in him!, having said that I still think he might come good if we play a system like Swansea played, they really had us chasing shadows at times! it was very simular to how we played under Harry with Bale flying down the flanks, this is where I see we need to go.
