That's very true. However, the alternative is Obertan; who loses the ball even more

nice one!

If we need backup for Tioté then we should look no further than Mo Diamé. He's free. It makes no sense not to

Said it before, but if we don't keep him I'd love to see him move to Spain. He'd be so good over there

lock him up for homophobia imo

Think we should get him on the left wing so we've got at least one left footed player over there. Jonás to the right. See how it goes for a few games

Krul has the second worst pass completion in the league (40%. Better than only Paul Robinson, who has 26%)

For those who think we've played nice football this season: don't kid yourselves. In terms of pass completion, our highest rated players are Colo and Tioté with 83.1%. They are ranked 84th in the league with that percentage.

even your avatar is irritating

What if King and Kaboul are out? Ryan Nelsen! . We've got a chance lads

He's a way better option than Obertan and Taylor's injured. Of course he should be in the team now. I did agree with Taylor starting against Villa though, due to Hatem's poor last couple of games. HBA never looks like he's enjoying himself

I think the rest will do Cabaye good anyway and we'll be better for it. Bloke played 50-odd games last calendar year

Indeed. It will be very difficult for Guthrie to control the game as he did against Villa. Spurs' midfield is the most effective in the league along with Man City's imo, so I can't see us winning that battle. As I said - we need to defend excellently and rely on the Dembas to get a goal to come away with anything.

I can't help but think we'll score at least one goal with the Dembas up top. Just need to keep it extremely tight at the back and I think we have a chance of getting a decent point.

What fee are they talking about? And what does he mean with "something bad"? Are these quotes from before the signing? Ba seems always so relaxed. Funny how he admits that he really wanted a new striker to sign. Must have been frustrating with Ameobi and Best. The fee must be the transfer fee for Cissé. 'Something bad' will be referring to anything bad that happens with Papiss I would've thought (poor form, injury etc.)

I tried to tick one of the boxes on the right hand side of that table

@OptaJoe Opta Sports 8.5% - Liverpool have the lowest chance conversion rate in the Premier League this season. Onychectomy Suarez is shit. SO overrated

He should be at least considered/in the provisional squad (especially if Wilshere can't make it), but he won't. Even players like Leon Britton will get mentioned before him

Guthrie getting recognition

I like Villas-Boas. His interviews are... uh... absurd though

if we get Clyne, Douglas and Barnetta on frees then I wouldn't be overly bothered if we spent nothing as long as we sorted the necessary existing contracts out and kept everyone (apart from the obvious departures)

Aye, I was expecting him to be like Darren Bent, but his general technique is much better than Bent's

Thought he was a bit shit, tbh . If we'd have lost he'd be getting stick, like.

Great game today
