We had a few opportunities to kill the game.  Can't score goals. Same old, same old!

I really don't know where to start anymore. We were so bad all round it is unbelievable. If Demba Ba was any good, we could have been 3-1 down by half time. The only bright point was when we scored a very good goal, then proceeded to fall back into our shell. Cherices is the worst CB I can remember, but it is not only him. Davies looks very ordinary, as was Paulinho Stombouli and Bentaleb. As for Lennon, Dembele & Adebayor when they came on, don't get me started.
All in all, we have a 25 man squad, 20 of whom should be playing for Hull, Stoke or Burnley. Depressing is the understatement of our soon to be miserable season.

I remember Pochettiono saying he'll focus on the Europa League as the winner gets to the Champions League the next season. Anyway, playing the way we are at  the moment, we won't qualify from the group stage.

Soldado and Kane together and Kane scored. Disappointing night.

Not a good result under any stretch of the imagination. We need to rethink the formations.

I don't think we've got the strikers to play one up front. Also; maybe we should play the same team that played on the week days. Or at least something similar. Hopefully that will create consistencies.

Again another match where we were lucky. If it was not for Lloris we would be quite a few down. God knows what will happen against Southampton. We all need a match that will change the dynamics of things and I am hoping this is the one.

Its not the formation! TWO up front is the way forward. It is the constant passive play which is evendent whichever squad we play, we do not have the players who will chase the ball down when we dont have it! only Kane comes close, we sit back and allow so much pressure on ourselfs that it is only a matter of time before we concede and sooner rather than later we are going to get a tanking from somebody for sure!, This style and mentality has to stop right now or I think Pochettino will be out by Christmas.

Two up front or one up front depends on the players you have got playing for you. The players we have got would demand, I would think, two players  up front.
