Do you suppose Jermain nicked those smalls from Bale's locker last month?its officially pants day
Looks like Old Friedel and young Fryers done well tonight with that clean sheet, eh zin?I'm saying we should give it the same respect as we did against a lowly Norwegian team at home at a minimum. I'm seeing people sticking Fryers, Kane (on the wing!) and Friedel in line-ups here as if Lloris needs to rest.
If Lennon is not back from injury I'd like to see:
Lloris
Walker - Kaboul - Chiriches - Naughton
Sandro - Holtby
Lamela - Sigurdsson - Chadli
Defoe
assuming also Chadli, Defoe and Kaboul's injuries are finished.
Only Walker in that has had "too much game time"
Has Fryers even played left back for us yet in a competitive game? I'd have preferred he was tested in that position against Tromso at home, not Villa away.

I just read this whole thread specifically for @ Dan D 's commentary.
Easily the best new poster here for over a year.
That was funny enough until I read

Yeah, and we could do with a player like Falcaothey could use a player like Chadli though , someone with a decent touch that can create goals and has a footballing brain

SITTERS - its fucking sitters!The announcers were hilarious. Talking up how tidy the back line for AV was and how fortunate Spurs were to get the result. Bahaaaaaa . Get off the sauce.
Did they not miss the two cupcakes in the first half that Defoe & Lamela hit right at the keeps ?
Spurs dominated that shit. End of story .
Holtby was a beast. MOTM
Would love to see the following vs CFC
Swap out Dembele for Sandro (defensively much stronger and moves so much faster in possession which is so helpful on the counter to accelerating things)
Swap Townsend for Lamela (the more complete RW)
Swap Siggy for Holtby (Stick him in that CAM spot for sure after today's run)
Move Eriksen over to the LW (has plenty of depth to his game and a must start)
Tough beat for Siggy but I really think Holtby is a must for me.
