The game I saw at chavski, was them trying to contain and counter attack us. We seemed to have most of the play and they only looked dangerous on the counter. We had more possession than them (just checked).

nothing to add, this sums up where we are at the moment.
Gotta be hobest, I NEVER saw the Man Utd/W.B.A result coming... it SHOULD give us both the incentive to go all out for the win now and close the gap on THEM (rather than worrying about being caught by teams below us... let Utd worry about US catching THEM MAYBE!)
It also sends a note of caution NOT to take Brighton lightly... Man Utd clearly did agaibst West Brom yesterday... and look where it got them.
Treat Brighton with respect first... THEN we can beat them!
Hopefully Chrissy Hughton will also want only the best for his old club!!!

I dont care about sensitive people who need to be spoken to in cotton wool.
I dont really care if hes out of form or just not running for a ball that he could well win if he tried...the outcome is the same, which is the City Cbs had a fucking field day against him.
And whatever one it is, my point still stands that he shouldnt be out there for the full game.
If he doesnt have it in him to out jump Kompany, why is he out there. It matters little whether he tried or not, he was wholly ineffectual
Vorm
Davies Sanchez Vertonghen Aurier
Wanyama Eriksen
Lamela Moura Alli
Son

He sure as hell won't score any sat on the bench, and he won't be dragging markers all over the pitch, or playing any through balls, or being a target man etc etc
Poor bugger eh, he's off form by his own standards so he faces the axe for it.
FFS, we used to play Mido and Docherty up front and they could barely hit double figures.
I wonder how many rickets Lloris has to make before people question his position in the team. Trouble is, when he does it, we generally ship a goal.
Perhaps we can make everyone happy and swap the pair of them round
How will he get any match sharpness when he doesn't try to get to the ball?
He can't exert himself - supremely evident in the City match - so he should be rested until he can actually press like the Kane we know can.
Vertonghen was the one who stepped up during the second half against City whilst Kane just let the whole game drift by.
It would be a laugh to mix the team up though. Like when you played at junior level and the coach wanted to play lads in different positions.
Kane at cb, stick Jan up front and lloris can have a run in midfield. Trippier in goal as he volunteered first.
Sissoko can go midfield, just to see if he can play there....
You're all heart.
Good. Moura’s earned it...
SAF was hardly a sentimental big softy either......it didnt do Utd any harm.
Poch always talks about form will get you on the pitch, yet he doesnt count certain players in that, and I personally find that wrong.
People will hype out about it and start screaming "AGENDA!!!!!!!!!!" but at the end of the day I see it as a squad game. Being dropped doesnt mean what it meant in 1988. It simply means rotation, and going on the last game, Id happily play Moura and Son tomorrow, and start Kane in the semi.
Some find that wildy insane, its really not my problem.
If Kane doesnt start, does that make Poch a clueless cunt
Well Ive been told anyone considering it is one
Meh. I wouldn’t get caught up in a totally binary opinion on the matter. As I said (in the Kane thread I think?) I’d edge towards starting him in this one, but I can also see why he could be dropped. Certainly don’t want to see him play the full 90.
I would feel bad if Vorm was ‘rotated’ into the squad tomorrow with a view to missing out on the FA Cup semi.
His ‘injury’ for the same game against Chelsea last year seemed rather conveniently timed with regards to squad selection - but that was more understandable at a time when Lloris hadn’t been on a run of clunkers in matches.
A few months ago I was all for playing lloris in the F A Cup as he deserved opportunity to win a medal. However his recent mistakes and Vorm's solid performances have led me to reverse that view. Lloris should play all Premiership matches but Vorm should play Saturday. Unless he has a poor game, which in any case would probably see our elimination then it would be tough to drop him for the final if we got there.
Wanna bet Kane will start?If Kane doesnt start, does that make Poch a clueless cunt
I'll ask you again - how many games should Kane be given without scoring before being benched in your opinion. Or any striker for that matter
