maybe he was tired?

Classic destroy and exit management tactics

It’s all the Glazers fault

I think Hojlund was gassed to be fair. Martial was the sub or even perhaps Pellistri. Keep them honest at the back.

Did he even touch the ball second half?

Obviously decided things were slipping at the back and tried to get the draw, it’s not rocket science!

Excellence, not excuses.

High standards, not below minimum standards.

Ten Hag out.

Well it certainly worked , didn't it?

Culer, do you know what leaving the forum entails.

I am just finishing work Mont which is why I’m on here…

In fact I cancelled a conference call with my American client to watch this game. Livid.

My issue with this is, if the defensive personnel isn't capable of defending properly, is inviting more pressure going to lead to anything other than conceding? This is why it's so important to have an outlet. Even the best defensive units require that, let alone our shambolic bunch

I was saying on another thread earlier today our midfield is shocking in how they let teams waltz through us and unfortunately out back 4 regardless of who they are can’t cope!

I think by putting Mount on was to help the midfield out take pressure off the defenders out considering the result in the other game a draw would of being ok and plus still give us a chance to sneak a goal!

Very possibly. Unfortunately our defence is so hopeless, it failed. There aren't really any circumstances in which I trust them tbf

Mount was obviously brought on for his engine and to chase things down from the front and help out coming back.

I can see the rationale for fresh legs there. Personally I'd have taken off Garnacho & Bruno for Martial and Mount to add those fresh legs to the wide areas in the midfield four and left Hojlund up there.

Two of their goals at the end there ultimately came because we sat deeper and deeper. Yes there were individual errors but we've invited balls into the six yard box in the last 15 or so minutes for me.

Yep and we can't afford to invite pressure as we are completely incapable of dealing with it

I am not his biggest fan but he was pretty decent for Chelsea, so what has happened to Mount?

Is he being made a scape goat? Does Ten Hag. know what is Mounts best position?

Genuinely asking as I think he can be a good threat up front.

didn’t watch the game so that’s the caveat but the above sounds like Spurs last year sitting back to deep and eventually losing
