I think the fans would tar and feather Nuno if he did that
Not just the players, but I also give Nuno a lot of credit for containing our weak spot. Obviously our biggest weakness is our defense and how we tightened the center from the top to bottom minimized the chances of Dier and Sanchez facing usually situations of them chasing forwards and committing a foul or losing players running behind during crossing, etc. I also liked that they didn’t have to build up from the bottom since their passing ability and football brain are questionable. I’m afraid when we face weaker teams where we have to bring our back line up, Dier/Sanchez duo would make usual mistakes again.
He sold Doherty
I'd have assumed that 6 weeks ago too but:
- Doherty appeared to trickle down the pecking order over the course of the friendlies.
- Japh got the nod against City despite pulling up with a niggle vs The Goons.
My conclusion is that either:
- Tomiyasu signs and then we have two players there that can both play RB and CB going head to head for 1st team action; the other getting Europe & cups.
- We end up buying an alternative, specialist RB then Japh slides to #2 RB and an emergency CB.
- Nothing happens and Japh is #1 RB and Doherty is back-up.
Not to be harsh about Doherty, but even if he survives the cut this summer he still has no future here.... If I was running things; I'd ditch him before Serge.
I'm sure the BT viewers would have got the team over the line Vs City yesterday.
He really played like a captain. During the game he was one of the players who really stepped up and set the standard for all the others to follow by being aggressive and crushing his 1v1s. Until he is ready, should forever reason Lloris lose the captaincy, I actually think Alli looked like a potential new foreman out there. I have been critical about Alli for years, but if he can keep going with the effort from Sunday, he could be a great on-field leader.
Skipp is briiliant. I am convinced he is an actual genius, one that has chosen to become a footballer and who is doing it with full out determination and dedication. The way he got his head on the ball in the wall on the early free kick says quite a lot about who he is.
Weird isn't it?
Both from Liverpool teams that enjoyed ridiculous success, you'd think they'd be all sunshine and rainbows.
But Nicol seems to have an unreasoning hatred of Spurs. Even when we were flying under Poch, you never got a good word out of him that wasn't followed by a sour dig.
I always turn ESPN off when his lemon sucking mug appears on it.
The commentator on MOTD said something on the lines of Pep sees the game differently from everybody else - maybe that's why they lost!!!!
Not really. You saw how much they improved when he came on. He makes a massive difference to them even if he's not at his best himself.
I said all week I thought we were good for a point. But in my opinion, had KDB started that game I think we'd have struggled to win that game of football. Fortunately for us he wasn't, and in the end we deserved the 3 points we got.
most depressive…..there was one on here last you’d have thought we’d just been relegated not just hounded the so called “champions” and celebrate a good day at the football feck me we haven’t had a lot of them recently you’d think irrespective how we got the result he’d be pleased but no doom & gloom
No they aren't. I'm selling them for a kushty little profit. 2 for £10 or a fiver each.
He is an outstanding player to be fair
They didn't start with him, Foden, Walker, Stones... These are big players for them. I don't see why people get so upset just because I say that although it was a very good win and a great way to start the season, we shouldn't get too excited based on one game. Had we lost by a few I wouldn't have been saying we're relegation fodder suddenly.
But some people here seem to have some sort of split personality disorder with how quickly opinions can change from game to game.
