We are playing 3 at the back. Cucu, Dunk, Webster. March lwb, lamptey rwb

I don't see it like that, Cucu is not in a back 3. Iooks a mess to me: Lamptey and Cucu trying to get forward and March, Gross trying to cover for them. To me it's a mess. I'd bring on Veltman to make a true back 3, then Lamptey and Cucu can play as true wing backs...IMO like

Get March off he's pointless. No way should an out and out winger not put the ball in ever. You're a spent force in my book son.

That was a pretty good chance for Moder. Should have got it on target. Perfectly set up. Maupay had a decent chance too.
Having said that Spurs have largely nullified us and we look clearly second best.

March really a weak point, NEVER crosses first time (and Spurs know it) and often just getting in the way of Cucarella.

Much of the time he gets into reasonable position but you just know nothing will come of it….

Lamptey needs a little kick up the arse to get going but sure he’ll come good.

I’d take March off (Welbeck on) and go 442. Maybe Veltman on for Gross to allow Lamptey to be more of a winger.

That deflected second goal seems to have done for us, outplayed since. Anyone remember the last time we got a deflected goal? I don’t

Tough call to come back from this now.


As an aside March hasn’t got a clue, he needs to stop fecking about and just cross the ball.

Lamptey has shown NOTHING either

We'd better get our heads out of our asses and do something positive, as we'll be up against a we'll organised Hodgson team next week!!

Come on albion.

Bring it back to 2-2, win it in extra time or on penalties and then go on to win the Cup.

Yes, I’d go with that and get Gross off for Welbeck.

A bit unfortunate there, Kane brilliantly punished Webster's mistake but that second goal is a bit of a killer and so lucky. Now we have to throw men forward and Spurs can counter attack all night long. Certainly wasn't our best half of football, March has been so poor.

March has been absolutely shocking and needs to get the **** off the pitch, Webster a close second. We look totally bereft of ideas going forward, suspect at the back and can't hold it in midfield.
Surely it has to change in the second half, can't get much worse.

March has the look that he wants to be taken off. We were playing well up to the first goal. Cucu and Lamptey are having their poorest games to date. GPott will need to earn his salary at half time. They can read us like a book when we go forward
