Ryan Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Why's Dele Alli changed to Dele Think the Alli surname relates to his fathers side who he has no involvement with or something like that. Edit - Link below regarding it, mother apparently gave him away at 13 when she was battling alcoholism. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/10533658/dele-alli-reveals-personal-reason-for-tottenham-shirt-name-change Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Oh man Guardiola 'hmmmm my defence is old and s*** what to do, I know drop the one young one and make the rest all play a comedy high line with only one defensive midfielder' really? I love him but people forget at Barca Busquets was the dirtiest f***er. He'll get there when he can sign some defenders with pace and who can pass but it's kinda embarrassing how bad the defenders City have spent so much on (not under Pep has to be said, think Stones will be fine but he needed a more major refit) True, but also people tend to forget that his team misses sitters every single game. De Bruyne v Chelsea, Sterling today. It's ridiculous. But completely agree regarding the defenders. Picking Otamendi ahead of Stones is kind of weird since both are shit, but at least one is younger and might develop into a good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Surely Iheanacho should be playing? False 9's only work when the false 9 is an exceptional player Kinda agree but reckon they're probably going to score, they do look threatening going forward, just can't see them not conceding 1 or 2 more, especially the more desperate they get Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fan but this and then the whole lets play really attacking wing backs against leicester that are decisions that are questionable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Stones has been an absolute liability in the past month or so though, aye Otamendi is too but Stones looks shot to pieces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Kolarov has hardly covered himself with glory either. The real fault is not doing a proper defensive clearout over summer. Still no excuse for suicidal set ups like that against Leicester Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a weak argument. Let me spend 100 million on the best defenders about and I would get there too. He went there just to be a chequebook manager and he rightly isn't getting a lot of respect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I don't disagree that it's mad they didn't sign proper defenders, but Guardiola does deserve respect, as well as being needled for these cock ups. He'll get there in time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 On being a chequebook manage, I don't think he's much interested in the compromise of being at a club that can't afford to get what he really wants, and why would you settle for that when the richest clubs are after you? People forget he turfed out a bunch of high profile highly paid players to focus on the academy gradautes when he first came in at Barcalona, and that was before he'd won anything. Admitably no way he would ever have got away with it without Messi but hey ho. I don't know if he will ever get teh chance to build a team in his image like that though.
