Okay
I'll get the straitjacket ready.
we got the points on the last GW, but at what cost? my soul died a little watching the game.
And the team has really confused the fuck out of me.
Lucas 1st half is utter shite, but the only shining light on second half. Son are not himself yet. Im so glad to see Toby played, but that game wasnt giving us anything to see if he is back or not. Dier looked very good most of the time, but that Sheffield goals gonna take some performances and time for me to forget.
Why are we so lethargic when in possession, everybody forming a shape and not move around at all. It might be this way for too long. Maybe back then it wasnt exposed because we have Dembele who could drive the ball forward on his own and take 2-3 players, so it create an opening?
By the sample we've seen since the restart, Lamela and Bergwijn needs to start.
Lloris
Aurier Toby Sanchez Vertonghen
Winks Sissoko
Lamela Lo Celso Bergwijn
Kane
Would like to see Tanguy on the hole, but at this point, lets just assumed he is not part of the plan for us anymore.
Now more than ever we need to see some bravery, even if there was no prize. Mou has to find some way to motivate and remove their shackle.
Anyway, the prospect of Brooks and King is scary for me. If anyone dare to challenge this sentiment, i would ask, how scary do you feel a frontline of McBurnie and Goldrick??? It's all relative.

Only thing we got to play for now is finishing 7th to get Europa and finish above those muggy cunts Woolwich. Win against Bournemouth, then the Woolwich game becomes the all important decider for me.
Lucas is guaranteed to start....!
seventh doesn’t get us Europa
In normal circumstances, three UEL places are given to English clubs who fulfil the following criteria:

Once you take into account a) City won the EFL and b) one of the big knobs likely wins the FA cup + c) the fact of City's potential ban... As low as 8th might bag EL this year.
So we'll probably finish 9th !!In normal circumstances, three UEL places are given to English clubs who fulfil the following criteria:

He's never forgiven Graham Roberts has he?...
Dr Tottenham Hotspur's Football Charity is 100% making an appearance.
I've never before been so lacking in confidence before a match against relegation fodder like this current Bournemouth team.

Thanks for the summary. Very helpful. So, if we finish ahead of Woolwich and none of the teams below us jump ahead of us, we should get into Europa.
That should motivate the players.
One of the biggest tossers on TV.
Yep,him and Rodney Marsh on sky was a joy to behold...
With the games coming thick and fast, Mourinho will have to freshen up the starting team, especially with Woolwich coming up soon after. With Dier suspended, I’d like to Sanchez in, maybe Vert at LB, Berg in for Moura and then we got to shake up CM but I have no idea what the best way to do that is. Maybe Sissoko with Lo Celso and Lamela in front. We have a £63m player on the bench I wouldn’t mind seeing but we know that’s not going to happen. Really need to stuff these guys. We’re better from 1-11 so there’s no excuse not to play some attacking football.
Agree. I wonder if part of the reason the lads are so slow in the final third is general fatigue.
Levy must have realised this is on free to view as only got one sports pass! Baldy don’t miss a trick does he!
