The last four matches have really show how much we have missed Son. We haven't won a game this season without him (Although the sunderland win he wasn't on the pitch when we scored the winner) and we will continue to struggle without him. Although clearly not on the level of Alexis Sanchez, the effect it has on Arsenal when Sanchez is missing is very similar. Son provides pace, skill, urgency and positivity as he is always looking to take players on. Not to mention his incredible work rate which rubs off on other players. In terms of our other options N'jie isn't ready yet, townsend has literally no end product and Lamela continues to be very inconsistent. Fingers crossed he's back for the north london derby at the latest.

I was watching the N'Jie that didn't score today. True.
But he gave them a lot to think about all match, and put in the efoort. I think he has the talent to start scoring.
Put it this way: who scores first, N'Jie or Kane?
We don't have many options

Last season we were a very average team that was capable of the odd inspired performance, the obvious examples being Arsenal and Chelsea at the lane. This season nothing has changed except City were the victims this time.

The difference this season is that we actually have a decent defence, even though it looked a bit dodgy tonight. Now unfortunately kane isn't scoring goals and with son out injured the only other genuine goal threat is eriksen. Why didn't we just pay the bloody money for berahino?

Berahino comes with a lot of baggage.
Levy should have been looking harder, for someone really good and a team player, but he is only interested in holding tight on the purse strings.

We need Kane back urgently, not the impostor we have playing up front.

Too much is made of the 'baggage' Berahinho carries with him. I can't really see it myself. Both Pulis and Southgate have been positive about him. We must also accept that Poch actually wanted him to join us, and so we should have given Poch what he wanted.

Kane should not have come on at all yesterday, I can't see the point.
If you're going to play him, you may as well start him and bring him off if need be - either rest him completely or not at all
