you cant lose players out of your midfield like Modders & Rafa and then expect to be the same quality of team. Its impossible.
still, Lloris was a more important signing than Moutinho :lol:
Mate, I agree. I'm sad that he left and don't think Dembele is best in that position. More importantly, as much as I rate both him and Dempsey, I don't think either of them are capable of those bits of magic that VDV regularly came up with in tight matches, and which we still need until we develop a set style of play (and even after). For all his strengths, I think Defoe is terrible in this system. And this has been a very poor half. But we still have a few players to come in and I really really hope they make a difference!
Adebayor and one of Dembele/Huddlestone has to come on at ht imo.
Were those boos?
We knew all summer we were going to lose Modric. And then lost VDV because AVB we have 'exceptional cover' in this position. He must purely mean Dembele and Dempsey cos there is nothing exceptional on the pitch right now.
All those not worried we didn't start Ade and Dembele.....still happy ? No urgency. Pathetic up front
Half Time...
Why has BAE been more involved than Walker? I've said it before, Walker and Azza do not work IMO (regretabally).
.
Can't really win can he.. He has to bring Dembele on but if we improve, it shows up all the hard work and coaching from pre-season and the last couple weeks. It's not that it awlful, there's just not plan to create anything in the final third.
If the game is all about playing meaningless square balls endlessly in midfield, then AVB has got us playing title winning football. Even if we were two goals up, I'd find this dire. Now I can recall just how crap the football was at Chelsea under this guy.
