The only negative about having Lloris as out number one, means I completely shit myself when I see Freidel's name selected. I think I would rather see Gommes ahead of Freidel. Our team is looking more and more accomplished with our high-line and that all goes to shit when Freidel is between the sticks. Am I being unfair?

Warms my heart seeing Defoe score, I have my quarrells with him but just love to see him do well.
Played four, won four. Four clean sheets
Not bad

Am gonna be unpopular as I know he's revered on here but I got to criticise Defoe.
Was behind the goal in the Paxton end so only really saw this in the 2nd half but there were several times when he was chastising Kane, Carroll and Fryers for not passing to him (or directly to his feet). The amount of times he was rolling his eyes, head pointing to the sky and point at his feet was poor IMHO. As a senior player I'd expect him to be more supportive of those 3 yoof players.
The irony of it was, the majority of times (more so with Carroll and Fryers than Kane) the pass/cross was actually in to the ideal place for an intelligent striker to head to and it was Defoe's 'fault' for not being there.
Just an observation....

Nope. You're completely spot on as far as I'm concerned, I've raised this concern myself recently. An injury to Lloris could seriously fuck up everything!!
Would love to see Holtby tonight.
Anyone still want to say Holtby is shit?
No, didn't think so.

Not sure how the injury situation is with some of the players, but if this XI are available, this is how I would start the game on Thursday.
Freidel
Naughton -- Dawson -- Kaboul -- Fryers
Sandro -- Carroll
Lennon -- Holtby -- Siggurdsson
Defoe
Although if Bale was still available, I'd probably start him in place of Lennon.
And possibility to give some time to Coulthirst, Stewart & Veljkovic from the bench.

He's in London and nailed on to start then.
