He's playing better though....It was a CL match but you have a small point. All depends on how we perform on Sunday. Probably same team minus Dele who is not playing well yet.

Who knew that reverting to 4-2-3-1 would be a good idea?
lifes too short to fall out about it....You think my statement was unacceptable because you're wilfully misinterpreting it, to enable you to attempt to be witty. The guy was luckier than me because he had an uninterrupted view. Get it?
As for your other thoughts - EVERYONE in the lower tier was standing throughout the entire game. I was just unlucky to be behind a tall person. Nobody was being told to sit down in the lower tier. The stewards did nothing. They've given up.
oompah oompah.....[FORMATION][/FORMATION]

Hopefully it has the desired effect on the players.
Yeh, Colchester were disciplined and frustrated us.
They got in close and made sure most of our shots or dangerous passes were blocked.
With the ball Red Star were certainly more of a threat than Colchester - but ultimately they conceded 5 goals and deserved to concede more.
Maybe watch the goals again and pay attention to their defending as well as our attacking.
Twat.
(I guess we sign off with insults here?)
Brighton and Watford are not better than Red Star.
Looks like Mrs Perryman was on the vodka again last night, and after Saturday’s round I couldn’t afford to buy her any more drinks - win win!I expect you and Nutter-Naylor are well pleased that you both decided to bin off our best performance of the season
On the upside, I did bump into Mrs Perryman by chance at half time. Good to see you Mrs. P. (and friend)
That's a pretty unacceptable post, even if you were attempting irony.
This was my view. I repeat, the guy with dwarfism was luckier* than me. He had an unimpeded view of the game. I paid good money to look at the back of his head and to be honest, it wasn't worth it. After a minute I'd seen all I needed to see.
Given Saturday's performance, some might disagree.
One other thing I enjoyed last night. Red Star got a free kick wide left. Before it was taken, Sanchez is gesturing at team mates to mark this man and detailing who he was picking up. Jan, Serge and Ben all followed suit. The free kick came in and was cleared comfortably.
How refreshing instead of the quiet man who only speaks out off the pitch to the media.
"The clock reads 19 minutes past the hour in north London, and the white shirts are moving into fighter jet formation. There were five of them in total, five Tottenham Hotspur attackers with their arms pumping and legs whirring as they exploded upfield in perfect symmetry, a fleet of footballing destruction preparing to unleash pain on a visiting defence that had nowhere to hide." - Sam Dean, Daily Telegraph
Now that's the kind of opening paragraph I don't mind reading over a leisurely breakfast the day after a match.
StewardsSee the Red star fans were happily standing and singing in the top section of the ground last night.
And the gestapo stewards just standing there doing nothing - not so mouthy all of a sudden. “We are just following orders, standing is a serious health and safety issue It’s not allowed”
Righto boys. Should of got stuck into the Serbs then!!
Yes hopefully he got some confidence out of that.For the record, I thought Dier was awesome when he came on. Direct and confident
You weren't the naked little bloke in the cape & hat, were you?I was in row one behind the goal in the first half and Verts kept saying to Gazza "Give it to Sanchez" but he nearly alway rolled it out to Verts!!
You sure BC?
This was the message to which I was replying. Disingenuousness case dismissed.
But stop using descriptive stats to justify. Yes, on the whole Winks might hit some 'forward' passes. The issue that folks are talking about is he rarely breaks a line with a pass i.e. does anything with the ball. Hitting a ball from deep to a FB that is positioned slightly ahead of him is a a forward pass and that is tied up in your statistics. But when was the last time you saw him break a line with a pass? It's all in front of the defense and no fucking threat.
Ndombele has hurt every team we have played this season with a pass that has broken through a MF or backline. And I'm not even talking about some of his sublime passes. Some players have certain talents that others should not be judged against. I'm talking about simple passesthough, the ones that are always available to Winks and he doesn't take them...usually because he brain is already on backpass autopilot.
I think Winks has got a longterm role as well (unlike Carroll and all the other MF academy folks you defend beyond their abilities).
None of them actually show up in photos - or mirrors for that matter.
