Monaco look the better team easily

Saul for me too, much prefer goals like that than just kicking the ball as hard as you can for 30 yards and hoping it goes in. Robson Kanu's, while being a good goal is totally out of place there IMO

This is class

Haven't seen that much of him but always impressed by Candreva when I see him

Love a bit of Yaya

Wew

Get Ramsey off the pitch, Valencia is destroying him

Definitely not a penalty

Elneny is absolutely terrible on the ball

Didn't Alaba start out as a midfielder?

Did you just ignore all of Baba's posts about him playing in midfield for his country?

How are we supposed to know if he is going to be fit before we sign him?

It was reported straight away. I'd guess they've got some evidence if they've charged him. Not publicly it wasn't though which is what he means and I think he's right as well, minimum 5 game ban for verbals is ridiculous. If he's racially abused someone there's nothing ridiculous about a minimum of a 5 game ban. It must be known whether he has or hasn't though? It was 2 months ago. Either he did and it was known or he never. To still be rolling on with it 2 months later is a farce. I read the wolves players were encouraging the player in question to report him They were right to report him if he did say something racist

If only we could reach the heights of losing to Iceland we might get some respect

Higuain should have been banned from playing for Argentina long ago

Love a bit of racism, me

Don't think he'd work hard or be disciplined enough for Rafa's liking

Depends who we had instead. Pretty sure if we had Hughton or someone similar we'd be top

Agree fully although my lifetime is less than yours. Just don't see on what basis most of the players are rated. For example a lot of the Spurs players look good in the PL but go to the Champions League and they're getting beat by very average teams like Monaco and Leverkusen. Compared to most of the 00's, when you had a good few world class players proven at the latter stages of the Champions League your squad is really poor now Surely that criticism applies as much to Eriksen, Alderweireld, Lamela, Janssen etc as it does Dier, Alli, Walker and Kane though? Agree with you on the whole, but it's harsh to use the sub-par performances levels of the entire Spurs team as a stick to beat the English contingent with IMO. I didn't mean to make it seem like it was just the English players at Spurs I was criticising. Of course those players are as or more at fault than the English players are and I don't really rate any of them that highly either bar maybe Alderweireld. Was just making the point that I think players can be overrated based on what they do against the likes of Sunderland, West Brom and so on.

What would that have to do with anything? He would be would be doing better than he is now. But I never mentioned that he is doing better than Rafa

What would that have to do with anything?

Aye well you should be doing better than you are, I agree there. Is Hart good? Wasn't he at fault for nearly all your goals at the Euros? I do like the two full backs tbh. Cahill was absolutely terrible this season until they changed to three at the back. Stones needs to toughen up. Wilshere isn't exactly standing out for Bournemouth at the moment although I do generally like him also. The rest have performed well at various times in a poor Premier League over the last few seasons but none have ever proven anything against the best teams in Europe on a consistent basis like Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard, Ferdinand, etc. did in the past.

Tbh I think most managers would get us out of the championship this season given the money we've been able to spend, all of which has been collected from transfers out it must be said, and the players we already had at the club Maybe, but again, because Rafa has turned the ethos of the club around. Easy to forget just how defeatist the entire place was before. 'The players we already had' were performing like absolute shite. It's not as easy as it seems to just bring in some players and walk the Championship if it's on the back of an institutional culture of failure. It's still a lot easier than going to Leeds with little money and shit players

Because it's the highest level of football playing against the best teams obviously Don't really understand your Sterling point. What's the difference between him playing for Dortmund and Man City? Portugal have two centre halves a lot better than what you have, a solid midfield and one of the best players of the generation. What players do you guys really rate out of the England squad?
