this team on paper is very close to that team. this new back 4 can stand up to that one. vic is better than lloris. madds/biss/sar is better than dele/wanyama/ demebele...and we have much better depth than then with bentancur, gio and PEH ready and waiting. the front 3 is the only department that loses out significantly to back then. however we we dont know what veliz is going to be like? we also got solomon who looks an upgrade on lucas, gil who i think when hes back is going to take off this year, perisic who gives us a different dynamic up there... so the actual front 3 should have actual competition this year, whereas before that front 3 didnt really.

I think you're getting a bit carried away after three matches, let's wait and see how the players look when they hit a rough patch of form.

Prime Lloris was one of the best goalkeepers in Europe, never mind the league, at the time. Vicario has still an awful lot to prove, let's hope he will deliver over the next couple of seasons and can come close to Lloris' level (in the period that he was captaining a World Cup winning France team)

Joking aside, both unfortunate deflections that diverted the ball past the keeper. It could be suggested the attempts on goal may have been saved had VDV not tried to block. That's 2 points and a cup exit so far.

He’s not to blame for either OG. Acting like he’s cost us 2 points and the league cup game, piss off. Maybe if defenders around him for both own goals had done their job then we wouldn’t have conceded.

I don't think there is any need to be rude. I'm not acting like anything.
Goals change games and both came off him. Trying to block in front of the keeper can lead to this. The question is.....would the keeper have saved the attempts?

So what should a defender do in this situation not attempt the block and the ball ends up in the net and then they get crucified for letting it happen?
