Drogba and Remy on the scoresheet whilst Costa was in the stands, NICE FEELING :D Tottenahm to there credit played a nice opening 15 minutes though, actually looked like they had confidence since there win over Everton. However when you don't take your chances and defend worst than QPR your going to pay the price vs the teams with players like Hazard xD GG! The one bright spot for Spurs was the performance of Bentaleb. He's been outstanding and it's hard to believe he just turned 20 last week. I just hope the slackers (Ade, Capoue, Kaboul, etc.) are shown the door soon, and Poch is able to sign hungry young players in their place. Losing is one thing, but some of the lazy performances this season have been unacceptable. | ||

The bright spark as everyone knows was Kane, showed hunger and power to hold off Cahill even if he was a bit dazed. Has pace too, nice qualities. The problem i see it is your midfielders who have talent, Lennon, Lamela and Erikksen are good with the ball but without it they are passengers. Sitting there watching the ball get passed about in front of them and switching off and not tracking back. You can only have one player like that or you get found out so quickly. That problem along with one of the worst back fours i have seen in the division is the issues you have  The CB who played RB the one from Bucharesti was terrible, Vertonghan is very poor and Fazio is slow/weak. Davies is the only good player in that back four and he has lost all his form. | ||

I read in the paper today that Koeman vs Van Gaal is "fierce rivalry" are they still angry enemies? Or is it papers just bringing up 10 year old history which is probably past it now? Or do they really hate each other? On December 06 2014 00:35 SatedSC2 wrote: I don't even know what Fazio is supposed to be. That they got rid of their club captain Michael Dawson - who I actually think deserves more chances for England alongside Cahill as Jagielka gets phased out - in order to being in Fazio is completely beyond my comprehension. EDIT: I mean, Dawson is 31, but that's hardly "too old" for a footballer these days. Yeah anyone but Jagielka for me as well he is to slow for international level football and is poor on the football. I'd honestly just play Jones alongside him or even Caulker or something. Anyone but Jagielka haha. | ||

Yeah when Koeman was head coach at Ajax in 2004, van Gaal was technical director and Koeman's problem was that van Gaal was constantly trying to fill the chair of Koeman, i.e. intervening with squad decisions. Eventually, van Gaal left the club because of the incident. But yeah that's 10 years ago and they're not friends, but I don't think they hate eachother over something that happened ages ago. Then again, I don't know them personally | ||

Ugh. From what I can gather, Sahin and Kuba are finally back in the squad as well, and will start on the bench. | ||

EDIT: I mean, Dawson is 31, but that's hardly "too old" for a footballer these days. I think Dawson had to leave after his performances the last two seasons, but Fazio is an Argentine Dawson clone without any of Dawson's heart or determination. Pochettino wanted Mateo Musacchio to partner Vertonghen but Mr. Levy had to balance the books. On December 05 2014 23:54 Pandemona wrote: Worst players for you as usual where the whole back 4.

Chiriches is a wreck and Fazio...let's not talk about Fazio. Couldn't agree more about the tracking back from attacking players, though. Lloris should have stopped Hazard's goal, but it was only possible because Lennon didn't track Hazard in the first place. | ||

BVB official Tweet: Langerak - Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer - Kehl - Aubameyang, Bender, Gündogan, Mkhitaryan - Ramos Just a typo, or are they lining up Bender and Gündogan in the attacking midfield to make a 4-1-4-1? Immobile and Sahin are both on the bench today. No Kuba, Sokratis, or Dong Won Ji. | ||

Its a damn circle :p I'll just go without any expectations in the game and see what happens. 3 points would be just so super important. I just hope its not one of those aweful games where they are kind of good but throw everything away due to not scoring. I like Klopps changes though, idealy you would have Kuba/Sokratis for Subotic/Micky but they are just not there yet | ||
