  1. When you need a goal you don't shunt Aubameyang out to the wing like
  2. Comical cameo from Lacazette that
  3. Lacazette doesn't understand offside
  4. Was watching some of those teammates things off soccer AM on youtube last night and every single Spurs player that was on it said Dembele was their best player by a mile
  5. Is it the eye gouging or the sacking of physios for doing their job you like?

    50 starts. How many of the goals did he get coming off the bench?
  7. He hadn't even begun to peak before that goal

    Tbf Lascelles had been awful in pre season and was barely able to move at the time he was so big in the upper body

    He had 24 points and remained on 24 points until his sacking on March 11th. With a much better squad. Well that’s why he was sacked, obviously. Not before time, the writing was on the wall relegation wise. I’m interested in this much better squad. I’d only slot two if the pre January window squad into our current starting 11. How many would you play? Thinking Sissoko wouldn't get into our side is completely mental Who would you drop for him, given how he played that season? Scored once I think? Looked like he was going through the motions most of the time. I’d rather play Ritchie, Murphy, Atsu, admittedly I am not a Sissoko fan, but I would rather have Aarons playing (then or now). He's better than all of them or he could play behind the striker. Football isn't all about goals and assists, although Sissoko did actually create plenty of chances. One of the reasons we can't defend leads is because we have nobody who can bring us up the pitch so we end up under the cosh for ages at a time and that's exactly what Sissoko used to do. Winning free kicks, corners, throws that would relieve pressure and get us up the pitch. In contrast what we do now is hoof it somewhere vaguely in the direction of Joselu or Gayle and it just keeps coming straight back at us

    I think the whole "away from home" thing with Wijnaldum lets him off lightly if anything. He was disgraceful in almost every game from February onwards, home and away, even under Rafa. He got dropped from that team ffs

    He played at most 10 good games and when he wasn't playing well you couldn't even tell he was on the pitch

    To each their own, but he only played 8 games and we didn't win a single one. I don't think he offered much. Darlow's played 10 and we've only won one of those tbf, but I take your point Yeah, fair point. I guess I should clarify I didn't really consider him part of the squad, considering he was available too little so it didn't really strengthen the squad. I was going off the basis the keepers we're pretty much the same really. I still honestly think, as much as I hate his guts, that's Sissoko on the counter is the biggest difference between the two teams. Aye, when we're under pressure now we have no out ball, its a hoof up to nobody or it may as well be nobody anyway. Even on bad days, Sissoko would run a bit and win a throw in or something and get us up the pitch a little bit. Getting us up the pitch by winning us throws and corners was probably his best attribute

    I'd have Janmaat over Yedlin and Krul over Darlow as well
  17. Buying defenders who are on the decline always works out well tbf
  18. Carvahal has had some impact at Swansea
