Well you can't win them all and yes it was a bad defeat but look for the positives.
Virgil directing the defence talking telling the keeper fullback where to be etc
Matip looked decent and gomez except for one lapse looked solid
Ings looked very sharp and on another day might od had a couple of goals
adam Lallana looked better then in recent games
Overall there was more to be happy about then moan and yes we moved the ball around very pedestrian like but we will learn from this and come again.

Da funk were you watching? Van Dijk did nothing but head the ball right back in the danger are for them to score.

Matip was all over the place and will never be the answer.

Gomez was absolutely terrible, he must have had 5 terrible shots and 10 worse crosses. What on earth are you on about?

Ings could have had a couple of goals? When was that? all i saw was a very weak shot straight at Fabinski. And Adam Lallana looked terrible, kept twisting and turning and didn't know where the ball was and couldn't control it or tap it in from 5 cm!

There was ZERO positives from yesterday. ZERO. The win vs Manchester City is absolutely worthless when you can't win vs Swansea, West Brom, Newcastle, Watford, Burnley, Everton, etc etc etc etc.

That midfield three are awful. It’s been that way all season. Fans need to take there rose tinted glasses off after we win against one of the top teams.

Top teams usually don’t sit in which means 4/ 5 games a season we need a workhorse front three. The other 34/ 33 games we don’t. Can and Wij move the ball way to slowly and have done since they’ve played for the club. They can’t pass forward and if they do it’s a yard too far. Our best defence splitting passes came from VVD and Matip yesterday. Says it all.

Don’t get me started on can being captain too when he hasn’t signed a contract. What does that say to the other players committed with long term contracts?

Matip was diabolical defensively. The only good thing he did all game in that respect was take out their player to stop a quick break, and take a yellow for the team.

What was he actually doing for their goal though? Everyone is ridiculously calling out Van Dijk's header but he couldn't have put it anywhere else as he won it over the top of 4 players. In contrast, Matip who was stood (marking no one) just behind Ox (an attacker) did nothing to react to the second ball, whilst Ox tried desperately to make a block.

Matip is just not a defender. His passing out from the back was good, but why on earth did he keep going forward and getting in way on the attacks. 3 times he did it, twice where he tackled his own player, and another he ballooned a shot miles over.

I agree on Ings and Lallana though. Both unlucky not to score.

Matip was shocking last night. All at sea for the goal and had my heart in my mouth any time the ball went near him, Gomez had a game he’d probably rather forget, not one of our midfielders played well, we lacked any cutting edge and had no guile in the final third. As for the goal, I still think a top class keeper is saving that. You rarely see De Gea or Courtois beaten like that. We have 9 days to fix this or we are stuck with this for the rest of the season.

The win against City isn't worthless, that's just silly. We got 3 points! If we hadnt then Spurs could be ahead of us.

Last nights results was horrible, the worst performance for a long time but let's not get carried away with the daft comments.

Daft comments? Hilarious, i rather lose to Man City and Arsenal and win the other games, i think you will find that gives us 3 times the points.
