Walker is getting back to his best game by game too, did well to limit Enrique and Downing - that Assaidi that came on was in his pocket too, they concentrated on Jan after that.

Can't agree with you there, BAE is easily best equipped to deal with that kind of winger. He's easily the best LB in our squad and he's played against similar in the past and come through with flying colours.
Last season I remember going to the Lane and often watching Spurs coast to a 2-0 or 3-0 victory on a regular basis. I remember leaving the Villa game thinking "I kind of miss the days where we used to hold on to a win, and made everyone really nervous". Well it's back this year!
I genuinely think Gallas' time is up. Once Kaboul and BAE are back, there's no reason to ever play Gallas again, but even until they are, I'd without question rather play Naughton at left back and put Vertonghen into the middle. Hopefully Caulker is back for Saturday though, and Dawson can play with Caulker again. I'd also think about bringing Huddlestone in for Dempsey at the weekend and let Dembele play a bit further forward. Our ball retention is poor and I think that change might help us.
Still, 3 points, onwards and upwards....
Yeah, he rarely gets called on it, very subtle, although not an ideal way of defending. Seems to be a worrying injury though, no return date.Fair enough. Maybe I'm remembering the BAE of old whenhe would get turned and do niggly fouls, pulling shirts etc.
Or maybe I'm mis-remembering, it's been a while. And I have stinking cold. When are the heated seats, slippers and small personal electrical heaters arriving at the Lane?
I thought Walker was absolutely excellent
Liverpool fans going batshit about the Bale 'diving' incident, even though it wasn't a dive, he was clipped by Agger.
Bet they'd take the same stance if Suarez did one of this theatrical dives and got a penalty
Quite funny that their not even moaning about Dempsey when that looked like more of a dive and led to the winning goal
I know we've already said it in this thread. But our retention tonight was awful once they turned the screw.
Loose balls, running into traffic and miscued passes.
Two great goals from us but we got some well deserved luck tonight.
Walker definitely improving every week now.
