Nothing, I just threw it out there as an idea. I don't like Eriksen on the left, I don't think that the Mason/Bentaleb partnership has done anything wrong enough to justify breaking it up at this point, but I would like to see Stambouli get a run.

You see, not everyone keeps score like you, and they allow themselves to be open to ideas. I didn't advocate for it, and I didn't say that it was the lineup that I wanted against Leicester. I specifically said the words "just an idea:", and used TOMO's previous post as a basis for it. I didn't like the idea of Dembele in the CAM role, and thought I would just throw it out there.

If you're looking to pick a fight over nitpicking bullshit, find someone else.

Ignore this prick mate. Soon enough everyone will learn not to engage with it. He loves a fight for the sake of it. He says that people who had a go at Judas when his dad died were scum. I agree with that sentiment but not with a man who gleefully tries to win the Internet by posting gifs of disabled children to beat people down. I wait for the day when everyone ignores him & he has to disappear up his own hole. Ignore the puerile little shit. He offers nothing to the forum he can't live without.

Im not keeping a score, I just remember the things people say to me, and more importantly my own opinions...

Because two weeks later, when they are starting to say the same things they slated me for, then I will be there to remind them.

When people want to try and mug me off with a post starting with something like "Ok Sammy I'll bite...." before they procede to counter every point I make, then they should think a little bit harder.

I didn't mug you off. You were challenging people to name any faults they had with Poch, and you actually hit the "like/thanks" button to the post that started with "I'll bite,". So the question is that if I mugged you off, why did you hit "like/thanks"?

So was my opinion on rotation. Didnt stop you countering it though.

What, we can't have a discussion without you filing away the discussion for ammunition later? I stress, conversation, because I thought that we had a decent talk about it, but apparently disagreeing and having a reasonable is now a personal offense.

Got it.

It annoyed me that you disagreed with my pov and jumped on the bandwagen that poor old Pochs hands are tied regarding rotation, then one spanking at Old Trafford later, you are rotating....specifically with a player you disagreed with me should be used.

Its not about filing away ammo...you talk about having a conversation, well to me, it has to be a logical one, not one where somebody makes a counter argument, forgets what they said, then says the same thing they were countering 2 weeks later. And when its brought up, they say "I just threw it out there".

Well Im just throwing this out there. If we should'nt be accountable for what we say then whats the problem.

Anyway, whatever, I dont think Poch will make any significant changes and I think Townsend being called up has now sadly cemented him into our starting 11.
Leicester really in the shit, so hope our central midfield are up to it.
Like you, Id have Stambouli, but I would drop Mason altogether, and play Dembele in front of the two CMs.

I'm just going to make this quick because it just doesn't justify going on any longer. Our main point about disagreeing was Bentaleb/Stambouli, my lineup doesn't sacrifice Mason for Stambouli. Yes, I moved him out of position, but he's still incorporated into the starting 11 and we could still gain some of the synergies between him and Bentaleb.

I don't like Eriksen on the left, Chadli on the right, and Mason being shifted up a little from Nabil, BUT I really like the idea of giving Stambouli a run out again, as well as, Fazio. That's a way to make it work even though I'm not even 100% sold myself. I just don't see a need to develop opinions and hold them with such rigidity that I can't ever allow myself to be flexible as well.

because in football, nothing changes
ever.
so when you have an opinion at the beginning of the season, you have to stick by it. Irrespective of form, injury or illness.

Tortured logic Sammy

Lets get back to basics and re-invent the wheel
Nice bit of push and run

......................................Lloris,
...............................Walker, Rose,
.....................Dier, Dembele, Vertonghen,
...........Chadli, Adebayor, Kane, Eriksen, Lamela

haha - the formation app doesn't recognise 2,3,5 as a formation!

I don't think anyone else has since 1968 either
 
Picked up tickets for £25 each in the south upper. Buzzing!
Every time I go to a home game we are seriously bad though. I'm predicting a narrow 2-1 win with a lot of luck.
Harry Kane to score anytime against his old loan club is nailed on!

Enjoy chaps.
 
TODAY. WE. WIN.
Tomorrow, ONE of (if not both) Man Utd/Liverpool will drop points. 4th is still on boys and girls...

Wheels back on!!
