Legia Warsaw's message to FIFA earlier

No doubt a very good footballer, just not sure he is for a top 4 club. defoe like in that he needs 4 chances to score 1 which is not good enough at our level.

That's a valid criticism right now, he's not played that many games though really, that could come with experience.

 

[the dza]

Think we'll start Kaboul v Liverpool?

Polish club to a Swiss organisation, English message?

However, i think he will be amazing playing behind a lead striker.

 

[SpurMeUp]

Do you think Poch thought when taking off Sandro: we might need a bit of this against pool?

So so happy we have our Spurs back. Mauricio Pochettino is GHod.

I do not see anyone knocking on the door of the first team off of the back of this performance.

Oh, when you said "most of these players could slot seamlessly into the first team" I thought you mean that most of these players could slot seamlessly into the first team

Think we'll start Kaboul v Liverpool?

Yes

 

[NorwegianSpursFan]

He fell to the ground screaming, but atleast he didn't pull out of the 50/50 this time :lol:

Wouldn't be surprised to see Dier and Vertonghen, but who knows?

Think Sandro has done well tonight, though not sure you can change transfer plans based on one game. Still dont think the CM balance in our squad is very good though given that we have four senior CMs (sandro, Dembele, Paulinho and Capoue) none of whom are particularly incisive passers. In particular Sandro and Capoue in particular are too similar for me

 

[Baleforce]

Think we'll start Kaboul v Liverpool?

Yep, need his pace with Sturridge and Stirling

I was talking more in terms of implementing a system and them taking on Poch's ideas, rather than them immediately challenging the players who started on Sunday.

 

[AdamB]

I had previously assumed so however given he's playing the full 90 tonight and with Chiriches coming off instead of him, I think that means he wont

 

[ShelfLife]

Clark Carlisle just made a funny.

Furry muff, old bean

I think we're going to stick with Dier at RB.

 

[the dza]

I also think Kaboul will start v Pool. 90 minutes tonight will help him sharpen up more, he looks like he's needed mroe match practice than the likes of Vertonghen.

 

[Whiffler]

Hurrah - another clean sheet, and win both halves.

We may be heading for some extraordinary possession & passing stats.

Given that AEL needed to win, I thought they were a bit QPR'ish

It wasn't anything like a 50/50, but very late. He did pull out of a 50/50 mid-firsthalf.
