With Spurs sat back Werner on left doesn’t really add anything. A left winger providing some threat on ball would make us look more dangerous.

Or more aggressive attacking from Chilwell

The problem with the passing has been the defenders.

Midfield and attack haven't linked together well at all today. Kovacic and Jorginho have been far too negative in their passing. Too much pointless "U" shaped possession.

TBF they need the runs to aim for, Far too static.

Ffs pass it forward kova and Jorginho

We play Giroud and then do not cross at all from the wings, just go backwards instead. Pointless.

Looking like we want to coast this match. Stupid at only 1 up

Kova and Jorginho is such a crap uninspiring ineffective midfield from both ends

Giroud would have been better off just spinning and running to that

posession wins fack all Lampard. Goals do.

Kovacic been fantastic in the middle today.

CHO more effective from the left IMO

I agree that he can be doing better. But I find it strange how his passing is always criticised, when it's not like any of the other midfielders are any better.

I’d get barkley on for kova or Jorginho need some ooomph in this midfield

True. No one making runs off Giroud either. He's wasted when he has no runners feeding off his knock downs

Thiago Silva is our only good ball player in defence.

I think Jorginho and Kovacic have been fine, a little cautious but we rely on possession to keep control of the game as much as to make chances.

I think they have been good.

It's the defence and the attack which have been poor with the ball.

It's either the defence passing it sideways or the attack losing it in silly positions.

Kova

Poor ball from Werner, but Jorginho really does look like he's running in treacle some times.
