He was diabolical last night as well. As was Kane. Two of the best attckers in the Premier Legaue no less! I'm not sure if Pochetinno is some sort of magician or if the League is just a big pile of steaming crap. Bit of both probably.
Or just the England teams always a total mess that makes its best players look like shit.
They had 20 chances between them to do something decisive last night, but they failed every single time. It was nothing to do with the shirt they were wearing, that they're not all that good was the problem.
Chamberlain still looked like his Arsenal self, Jones, Cahill, Walker, Bertrand, Dier, Henderson, Rashford, Sterling too - all the same strengths and weaknesses you see for their clubs.
Alli and Kane were outright shocking though. It was their lack of technical ability that startled me more than anything. I think there must be something in the way Spurs flood the central areas with the two 'wide' players that helps Alli and Kane to have more space and find constant situations where they have the opposition overloaded. Kind of similar to what Arsenal used to do when we actually played with a functioning central midfield, I guess.
