Paulinho, Capoue and Dembele in the middle man - outstanding. If Spurs can get it right, they're mounting a title challenge in less than 3 years. Some real top talent they are signing. JEALOUS as f***.

If BeIN Sport are saying it i believe it, they are owned by the same bloke who owns PSG. They get all their info from him first hand, they have never been wrong about PSG before. Sakho's brute strength man. Would be fucking jealous if they sign him. So Mole: Is Sakho the better player than Mapou? I always felt the 2 were actually the best complimentary pair for France for the future (bar that lad who is at Madrid). Sakho's strength and aerial + Mapou's pace and reading of the game. Mapou I think has the potential to be an absolute star as soon as he understands his timings and such. He was such a rock for Montpellier that title season...

This. But would be fine if Marv started for either Cabaye or Gouffran. I think we win this by 1 or 2 goals. There is positive momentum and am so chuffed to see Remy get on the pitch for us. New signing buzz!

This is where I draw the line with this "he doesn't look like he cared" randomly during some matches. I've maintained, this f***ing crazy lad absolutely is the opposite, he f***ing cares a s*** load and he has always said the right things and shown on the pitch he's putting 100% out there. Never hides, always wants the ball, sometimes guilty of doing too much -- which, given how he's one of a few take the game on type players we have, is refreshing and I'll always applaud it b/c there will be a moment all his huff and buff will click again and he'll be winning us a point or 3 with his sheer brilliance and determination.

I've no problem seeing a local lad giving it his absolute all and playing football the way he tries to do -- entertaining, fearless at times (even when he fails, doesn't shirk from his game). It's why I'm so receptive to Dummett in our side as well. You never know if a kid will develop until he takes the chances he's given -- thought both of those lads did so on Wednesday.

What is Dein up to these days anyway. Laughing at all these incompetent chairmen?

Aulus is such a fucking bum

Pleaseeeeeeeee

Imagine if he and rest of squad could roll the ball into a centre forward capable of back to goal and not Shola. Move the entire team up the pitch-- Moussa, Remy, HBA and co would fucking love that man.

Fuck that's compelling (damning) Dave

Class optimism TRC man.

The hate some of these players gets on here is mad. He finally put in a worthwhile performance for us and scored a damn goal. He was an ever present player on the left- flair players do that you know. I've said he's not up to the level for ages, but he deserves praise and support for his body of work yesterday. Tirelessly up and down the pitch, gave the ball away but didn't hide one time, showed for the ball and kept at running at his man and using his pace and skill. His take for that goal was really top notch- probably only HBA & Remy have that in their locker.

Mapou came to the league at age 22 and Colo signed at 26. Both came at different stages of their respective careers. Both have shown shakiness and real top talent in their first appearances. Let Mapou settle the fuck in man; awful team and environment he's joined in. He's every tool and mentality and resume to show he can develop into a top player for us.

Fucking love Eto'o man.

He generally shines after a run of games no? Would love to see him in the team with HBA.

Must start Anita for me. If that means Gouff out and Marv wide and Cabs more advanced so be it. Or you drop Marv and place Yohan there. But canny line up and would love that too.

I read this thread title like that Drake song, "No New Friends"

Totally agree in that he looked targeted to get wound up and get sent off -- I feared it. Pleased he kept his head, battled and fought for everything.

Not sure how he will do in the league for us but one thing can be said is that he looks far better right now for us this campaign vs. the lat. He looks stronger and more confident to be honest. Not sure I'd start him, but I would be OK if he did this weekend.

Had the match been at home, we would have won more comfortably, and I'm not giving anyone undue credit here -- once we settled the fuck in we always looked the one capable of winning, albeit very late. We've got a team CLEARLY still not confident and still feeling last season's hangover. The only way we recover is victories and strong performances on top of each other. If we go out and play good football and win vs. Fulham that will lift everyone heading into a little break. We need to build positive momentum within the players, that means getting a signing in, winning a few matches in a row and getting some well-needed luck in a match or 2 (or 3, or 4..)

Dummett played well, really like his pace, crossing, and has a good shot on him. I'm perfectly happy seeing him develop into our 2nd choice LB and push Santon. Good too, played very well and really like how calm he is on the ball and made some timely interceptions and such. Really pleased with him. As far as the other 2 - Debuchy & MYM -- both shaky at times, but thought they got a good lesson in cup football for us and will be better for it. They battled well and we won, no point analyzing it any further.

HBA's ability to pass the ball deep into Shola was marvelous.

Seems mad to think he'd come back, whether its genuine or tactic to get OM to sell Gomis to us, I applaud it- as long as we land one of them.

With chance creation our problem, lets get rid of someone who can create chances then.

Years if he's taking 10-20M out and he's just started doing so.
