Reading tea leaves and casting small animal bones for a sign.Where's NW1 when you need him
Erik Lamela is soooo much more dreamy than Son xxGood job!! keep going!!! Show them your love!!!
Back to his worst today.
Running down blind alleys and giving the ball away.
Oh well, I suppose everyone is allowed an off day!
Nothing of the sort. Saying he had a bad day - which he did, running down blind alleys and giving the ball away. Or were you watching a different game?Another muggy post slating one of our players when we win, ffs how fucking sad.

Rather than rubbishing an opinion why not just share yours? He had a worldie today?
No he played well, conditions were shit, controlling the ball in that weather is hard, running around in that weather is energy sapping, he continued to be an outlet and kept running like a machine..... we won, i'm fucking happy as fuck.
Me too, I'm happy as well.
Clearly you were watching a different game to the one I was!
Your main criteria for a PL footballer is that they run around a lot and are willing to get wet. Not bad for £60K a week (or thereabouts).
I look for other things like chances created, tackles made, cover given, tracking back, goals, set pieces delivered, fouls conceded, control of the ball, heading ability etc etc. You know, these kind of trivial qualities. He didn't show many of them today!
But as I said, everyone is allowed an off day.
I think you're mixing me up with someone else. If you check my posts you'll see they're unanimously optimistic, including supporting Lloris and Trippier.Why not leave the negative shit though, every game we win there's the same group of you slagging off certain players. 10 minutes after the game i'm doing moonwalks and breakdancing round the room celebrating. Some of you lot are probably giving yourselves high fives because Lamela, Loris or Davies or whoever played shit and you can say told you so on Fighting cock for the 100th time.
How many games have we played in the past week or so, how many players didn't have a pre-season, how many are carrying knocks, wembley etc etc and yet we're on our best run under Poch and you all still moan like big girls.
Sorry Mrs P.

My post on Lloris today:
"Agreed, two point blank saves. Another three points he's earned us. I make that 6 in the last three weeks.
He'll play himself through this 'bad' spell. We need to stick with him."
I'll call it the way that I see it. Lamela has been very good over the last 6-8 games, but today he wasn't. I've even noted that "everyone deserves an off day"
Please do not lump me into the melters and plastic fans.
Incidentally you've not mentioned other then "running around in the rain", what Lamela did today.
Me too, I'm happy as well.

Any injury news?
Just a kit of a poorly face?
