INTRODUCING WANYAMA
This was a curious call from Pochettino.
Would it not have made more sense to tell him to wind in the challenges, instead, to avoid trouble?
Sure, Sissoko was on a yellow, but Moussa was having a cracker of game. 90.3% passing accuracy – which for the big Frenchman is historic! Defensive third passing accuracy was 7/7, Middle third passing accuracy was 16/17.
Unfortunately, 2 minutes later, Mauricio’s attempt to shore up the 1-1 backfired spectacularly, and Leicester City scored again.
NDOMBELE OFF
Bringing on Moura for the death of it was an insult to all concerned. Kane ought to have been switched out for the Brazilian immediately after the second goal.
Moreover, subbing Tanguy was an inadvertent confession from the gaffer that he has not yet worked out how he is going to play the lad.
Which is curious, given he was a Poch pick.
This is a £60million player who we know is a genuine talent. Yet Mauricio got a barely better than evens return from him.
Maybe the answer is that Poch is playing Tanguy out of position. Looking at his time for Amiens SC, NDombele played 99% of the time on the left.
CONCLUSION: Yet again, Mauricio’s in game management is revealed as pretty diabolical.
