He did have Falcao at the time...
It's either Defoe or a not fully fit Adebayor,his options are very slim

Glen Johnson and Azza didn' work for England. Azza needs to play with a more orthodox defender IMO not a wing-back who steps on his toes.

You are right, don't misunderstand me in assuming I think managers speak the truth! Of course he is, I am just highlighting the contrast which is exposed as unrealistic right now. Some people have misunderstood the AVB 'system', it requires someone to control the tempo and possession game, not just about headless chickens burning themselves out with some high press. Is Dembele the man to control the midfield?
Yes this is extremely poor, but feck me lads, get a bit of grip please.
Yes, I would've loved Moutinho, BUT Porto played it like cnuts and it was a no-go. How about we give Dembele a chance to prove himself before we declare he'll never be Modric?
No, we did not put all our efforts into signing Lloris instead of Moutinho. One of the worlds best GK's suddenly became available this summer. Our no. 1 is 41 years old. Our no. 2 is mistake prone. Our no. 3 is closing on 40 and a couple of years removed from a serious motorcycle accident. If we don't pounce now, we'd have a nailbiting summer next year looking for a starting GK.
VdV wanted to leave. Plain and simple. All done in good-faith, he asked, we granted. No hard feelings, he gets to be with his family, we got a wonderful two years and hopefully Gylfi and Dempsey can fill the void.
Livermore has been tinkle-pour, BUT, Dembele managed one whole training session with the team before the game, and also picked up a knock against Man Utd. so he was always going to be a doubt for this game. Hope he comes on at half time, but I won't judge him by his performance today.
The team is playing without confidence. They're playing a new system and obviously haven't picked it up 100% still. This was always to be expected. I mean, come on. Every time a new manager comes in, he has to put his stamp on a team and we simply HAVE to be patient and let the lads work it out. Once Adebayor gets match fit and Dembele, Dempsey and Lloris become acclimated to the squad, we can begin to see what we have on our hands.
COYS!

Why do people assume Porto were the cnuts? They were protecting their value, like we did with Modric. There are many issues to consider as to why we did not get him.

Thats my point though, we've seen Azza work well with Corluka, but not with attacking full backs like Walker and Johnson but what about what works best with Walker. Surely if he's an attacking fb you need someone pienaar like to tuck in and let him overlap.... but then that goes against the front 3 with Wing Forwards doesnt it... aaaah I dunno lol

Falcao and Hulk helped.........
Lol and Moutinho and Fernando iirc
Because we set a maximum that we thought their player was worth and they wanted more. They wanted almost Modric money for someone who isn't nearly as good.

Don't think it'll make much difference? He's not Modric I agree but he is full of running and skill. I think he will make a huge difference in this game as will Ade. It's too pedestrian

I agree totally. Personally, I dont think Dembele is the man. I hope he is.
