Dempsey has had plenty of chances (Gylfi too). If you don't perform, and someone else looks on form, then you're out. Falque looked sharp against Maribor aswell.

Considering you gave him a 9 and Dempsey a 4 I don't see why you're against it!
I would still drop him. That penalty was sinful.
Seems like Falque is new the Giovanni dos Santos
not sure what was worse, the penalty or the people who refused to step up to take it
The penalty.
The thing is Falque looked more creative than Dempsey has all season
Not sure whether Falque should start or not but on the basis of his last game and a half there is no legitimate reason not to start him. Norwich are better than Wigan, not that that means a great deal but it does mean there is no cause to say 'one CL start against Norwich' which seems to be belittling an opposition who seem to have a knack for mugging us off.
Lloris remains the keeper I would start, you can't rotate keepers. If Dembele and Adebayor are fit they both come in to replace Huddlestone and Defoe, if they aren't fit then those two remain...and our lack of cover continues to be exposed.
We will still win this game.

I thought Sandro was Injuried, my bad!
A lot of people who where at the game said that everyone just looked at each other. Seems like without Ade on the pitch knowone else wants to take a penalty.
that's pretty damning, Bale was having a good game, I'm surprised he didn't step up.
Wants this about Lloris making a blunder? Didn't watch the game or highlights. Seems to me it was 2 lucky goals and lack of concentration at the end from our defenders.
You think they'd know who would take a pen. Its worrying no one had the bollocks to step up
I couldn't fault Lloris for either goal. He made a good reaction save low to his right but the ball bounced off his legs and landed at the feet of a Norwich player...the ball could have gone anywhere, hardly his fault. The other was going wide but deflected off Vert leaving Lloris little chance.
he didn't really make a mistake, he saved a powerful point blank header, ball bounced out (you expect defenders to clear it from there) into a dangerous area but he couldn't have pushed it anywhere else, it was too 'reflexy' to push anywhere else. He nearly recovered to get it again but got unlucky...
I would welcome starting Falque. From the very little I've seen of him I've been impressed. Thought even from his few appearances in the EL last year that he looked really mature and composed. It would be a powerful message to Dempsey and Siggy, neither of whom have stepped up yet, and I think it would do the kids wonders, both for Falque's confidence and trajectory, and the other kids in general.
I'm still assuming that one of either Siggy or Dempsey will eventually integrate themselves, and I really hope that Falque is given a good loan as a starter to a newly promoted side, like Livermore.
