Don't think we'll be that lovely to watch, because that's not really AVB's style, but hopefully we'll be effective. If we keep on winning 1-0 that's fine by me. Meant that you have a lot of individuals that are great to watch. Lamela alone is amazing.

Man of the match today for me. Once he gets his confidence up (the goal at the end must really help), the occasional bad touches and decisions should get rarer when he gets more comfortable with the ball at his feet. Clearly has a lot of talent and great trickery, hopefully he doesn't end up like his brother and keeps getting better.

Who the fuck is this number 11? :lol:

Shola to save us.

Always a red ffs.

Used to hate Spurs but they'll be lovely to watch this season.

Nice selection. Actually a bit excited to see this.

Still only 19. Germany is just ridiculous with all these youngsters.

Draxler scores right after Schalke got a man sent off. Great pass from Meyer.

Neymar was great. Also half the price of Bale.

Alves. :lol:

Denied by Pardew?

That's what can happen if you dare to put a keeper under pressure. Even a mistake from Hart is being used to have a go on us. Could we have a thread where mentioning Pardew/Ashley/Kinnear is forbidden? Where in either of those posts does it mention the names you do? Also, do keepers make mistakes when under pressure? I thought not. That was like a ten year old's reply, 'I never said exactly those things.' But whatever, go on. Fuck Pardew!

He tackled Reid with his head?

Definitely crossed my mind too.

He knew Reid was hurt, can't blame him for that. Useless rest of the time.

This, was impressive today.

Just finished watching this (Al-Jazeera ). Overall a poor team performance and we just can't create chances but at least there's some positives to take on individual performances. Back four was solid and really liked Anita and Sissoko together. Sammy also looked promising. Now get some new players, please.

Well done, you named 2 players out of hundreds who have been s*** and turned it around. Actually Enrique wasn't even crap when he first signed so he can come off the list, so that leaves you with one. They are hardly the only ones. Perch, Best and Raylor immediately come to mind from recent signings.

Without touching the other statements in your post, Makelele was 25 when he moved to Spain and Yaya 24. Yaya started to score when he moved to England. And I find it hard to praise Real Madrid and Mallorca for not making Eto'o a defensive midfielder. I find your research and arguments possibly a bit lacking.
