All the options are just as bad as each other, so it's a moot point really. It's not, really. Mbabu looks the best all round based on limited appearances, Haidara gives away goals and generally contributes nothing in the final third in spite of his ability to carry the ball. Dummett's a CB and generally marks well and doesn't give goals away but obviously isn't good with the ball. Dummett has been awful defensively seen coming into the side and the fact we haven't conceded more has been more down to luck than judgment. Haidara didn't really do anything wrong defensively apart from maybe Watford and Southampton, Janmaat has been miles worse than him on the defensive end. Not that it matters as i already said i'd sell the lot of them.

James is Madrid's most important player, without him there is no link between Modric/Kroos and Ronaldo. On the comparison between Madrid and Barca, the only reason they controlled the Clasico last year for long periods was because Busquets was not fit and they had to play Mascherano in midfield, as soon as he came on Barca dominated and created loads of chances to end the game. For all the talk of Barca's firepower and it is insane, it's very rare you get on top of their midfield even Bayern didn't really manage it. Mainly because Messi is a midfielder/forward in one and the midfield they do have is very strong defensively even if it isn't as good to watch as the one under Pep.

Spurs have figured out that having a CM who drives from midfield and 3 direct attackers behind a CF that scores goals works. Football is so simple.

Apologies Wasn't paying attention.

So Pip has given up on Houston and is now supporting Barca, seems standard.

I'd sell everyone but Mbemba, Mitrovic, Perez and Wijnaldum tbh.

s***. New Janmaat/New Mbemba New Mbabu/New New Moose Wijnaldum Riviere Perez Mitro Bench: Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew Was all impressed you were contributing, typing out a formation and everything. Then you dropped in Riviere and didn't even say anything about why, like it was obvious. Man f*** you motherfucker. Riv is a point guard. Put him on the wing, let him pick a pass, don't ask him to score and we're laughing. Janmaat is good, but he has moments. If we're dreaming, I'd get someone to nip at his heels, keep him focused.

Just seen what Neymar just did that's prime Ronaldinho shit.

Aye, their midfield is horrid Mourinho would love it mind.

"soccer is synonymous with pussies and diving" - aye it's synonymous with being f***ing class as well, not having this s*** That's debatable at this point tbh.

If he became England manager man Two Left back teams ahoy!

Y'all stay going on about the NHS, but a crazy motherfucker is moving freely over the country and no one gives a s***. He should be in a f***ing straitjacket. Straitjacket isn't good enough for him IMO.

You know damn well he did With Pardew, the most idiotic things are always likely to be true.

Ironically enough if they were sack Mourinho, Ancelotti would probably the one they go running back to.

Come on It's miles better than the majority of the league and certainly isn't bad enough to warrant 7 losses by the first week of november.

That's been the case for the large majority of the season tbh, what ever combination we play at left back and right back makes the whole entire team look absolutely shite. I wouldn't bat an eyelid if we sold every fullback we had.

Swansea the hype around them early in the season was so funny.

Was it Blackburn away under Pardew when Obertan scored on the break? Yup. This was even worse than that IMO

At the same time how many games has he actually started? he's had nowhere near enough time to prove whether he's good or bad yet. I was making a point about how bad we've been, he was fine. Assumed you think he's shit and there's no hope

I'll take it played like shit and won and since Chelsea it's been the opposite.

Cisse's touch is fucking horrendous Not that we didn't already know that mind.

At the same time how many games has he actually started? he's had nowhere near enough time to prove whether he's good or bad yet.

I like him, like everyone else he needs to be given a chance

Aye but no need to take Mitrovic off for that.
