Bentaleb was the only positive in the TS reign for me. I think he has a real presence and will only continue to get better.
Ade?

Fair shout. But I think anyone after AVB, would have got a response out of Ade.Ade?
Congrats on qualifying for the AFCONThis kid's an artist. Needs to cut out a few things and he'll be top.
Thanks man. Four wins in four matches isn't half bad. Now have won a record 9 consecutive AFCON qualifying matches. Factor in the World Cup performance and I can say Algeria are now Africa's best side, no bias.Congrats on qualifying for the AFCON
68/74 passing, 2 tackles and 3 interceptions was his statline. The passing stats and interceptions were both team highs. With Tottenham I often feel like he has to be stronger on his man, but that wasn't the case on Wednesday. Also think he's improved his passing-between-the-lines (improving this for Spurs too, see Dier goal vs. West Ham).
Yeah, that's what I meant. If you look a few seconds before his pass to Kane, he calls out to him, pointing to where he wants him to be. Receives the pass and immediately executes. Kane's pass was better, but Bentaleb's was more interesting for my personal and selfish reasons.It was Kane with the pass wasn't it? Unless you mean during the build up to the goal, in which case I apologise.

At the moment yes, but it's precarious. Lots of competition and he isn't indispensable like a Feghouli, or Brahimi. Some bad form and he could easily lost his spot.skikdi Is Bentaleb now in Algeria's starting XI with everyone fit and available?
