You can't use that term man, too soon ochsulk:Yeah, no Lennon please.
I hope Fazio gets a debut start. Stambouli can get a later date. And I'd rest Bentaleb for this.
I'd be happy with ...
Hugo
Dier - Fazio - Verts - Rose (or Davies)
Capoue - Paulo (or Dembro)
Lamela - Eriksen - Chadli
Ade (or Soldado)
without ever realising that he was one of the main reasons.................Arcspace will be the last poster here, when everyone else has fucked off to other forums years ago.
is that a euphemism?I'll be decorating my bathroom!
Nope, I'm actually decorating my bathroom...or should I say that I'll be making copious cups of rosie for the BF while he does the actual work. I don't have a problem with maintaining traditional gender roles.is that a euphemism?
Sounds like there will be just cause to create a multi, then.
PA.
RA.
why do they HAVE to start ahead of the other 2?Soldado and Paulinho HAVE TO start ahead of Ade and Bentaleb
Fazio in place of Kaboul
Rest of the team picks itself.
COYS
[formation=4231, Loris, Dier, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies, Stromboli, Capoue, Lennon, Eriksen, Lamela, Soldado][/formation]
if 4231 is the only likely option, lets guess that MP likes the new boys, so I'd run with this.
Old school - right footed guy on the right, left footed guy on the left, feeding the "fox in the box" striker (who makes himself available for) crosses.
For me the big question is whether or not Pochettino has the balls to put Kaboul out of his misery. He's been the captain so far, so the whole thing is a bit awkward. It's a big call, but I think we need to move forward with someone else in the middle of our defense. If Fazio is not ready then Chiriches is still an upgrade.
Because the other two were shockingly shit against Liverpool and travelled extensively during the international break. Competition for places is crucial in a 25-man squad, son.why do they HAVE to start ahead of the other 2?
He's been injury free (or able to play) a good while now if you add the end of last season, but I'm beginning to doubt if he'll ever look sharp again. I agree that cup games should be his arena for now.Its a tough one with Kaboul...someone pointed out to me he had only played 14 games in two years before this season, so its going to take a good while for him to get match fit.
But you dont get match fit from the bench and being stripped of the captaincy.
Id like to see him play our EL and CC games for now though, and maybe start the odd PL game here and there. He's not a bad player, just needs to get back into it.
Its a funny old game when the likes of Holtby were seen as the future of our midfield, but someone like Kaboul, who has suffered terribly with injuries gets no support.
thats a lot of shoes as well.if lennon starts ill eat my socks..
and if lennon starts and lamela plays on the left ill eat my socks AND shoes..
