Eriksen won't sign a new deal and Alli shouldn't be starting on form.I think the problem is where do Eriksen and Alli play in that formation
Yep agree if we’d have got what was due to us I think we’d have scraped throughWatching the match yesterday, I saw a team in white having all the pocession but not really creating anything against a team mainly defending but then having a couple of worrying moments for the home team. Then a goal was gifted followed by 2 penalties which never seems to happen for us. It became easier after that.
Looking at the players yesterday, how many of England's players would be better than the players Spurs have? Whilst we would all name different players, on balance yesterday's team was not better than Spurs team re Newcastle. I think England got the breaks given them by the opposition which we did not.
any stats on missed open goals? Moura coudl have done better v Newcastle... if we dont convert them we're in trouble... are other teams missing the same chances eg LFC, Citeh?Yep agree if we’d have got what was due to us I think we’d have scraped through
We have fallen behind pool, I’m not debating that, but the amount of fucking times their first goal is a fluke , a freak , a pen , an own goal is unbelievable
I don’t know. I’m not denying that we’re not helping ourselves by playing crap just that pool (not city ) seem to get these weird flukes that break the resilience of these teamsany stats on missed open goals?

(Harry and Lucas should’ve scored and we should’ve had a pen to answer your question)
It was just an edit to be polite and answer the question.God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference.
Should've doesn't count....let it go.
Fair comment, it's just something that grates with me whenever I read 'we should've'....I keep wanting to type 'but we didn't'. Hindsight is unfortunately not going to change a thing, all we can do is learn from it to better prepare ourselves for what lies ahead.It was just an edit to be polite and answer the question.
Not sure what relevance it had if honest

My apologies for picking you up on it. Being Welsh, living in Ireland and also a rugby fanatic has not been easy these past ten days and my wife keeps referring to me as one of Snow White's dwarves....guess which one ??
Try not to palJust don’t make a habit of it .... you grumpy fucker
after he scored a hat-trick?Sky attacking us again: their official Twitter headline was “Young Lions to watch (Sancho, Sterling etc etc) as Kane continues to struggle in front of goal” or something to that effect......Spurs fans hammered it and they took it down.
Fucking ends

Would they have said it about a Liverpool player??....after he scored a hat-trick?

I was quoting...not actually using the word myself but in answer to your question ...yes.Does that also count for games we "should" have won?
Funny every other team says the same about us...Yep agree if we’d have got what was due to us I think we’d have scraped through
