Vertonghen? Davies watched the guy run and didn't move.
yeah well ..you never know..lol..the Team must be gaining in confidence and despite what the score is on Sunday...this team is jelling.Definitely. I can't wait until Dembele out muscles half/the whole Ar5ena1 team on Sunday. Will be good to see.
That's Vertonghen's trademark move. Ignores everything that happens behind him. We're just lucky Okaka is worse than Defoe at staying onside. Linesman couldn't keep up.
Good work on the OMT @glorygloryeze - now who has the balls for the big one?
Giroud will be making those type of runs all afternoon on Sunday. Anderlects' passing and movement was very similar to what we will face on Sunday. We need to work on picking up runners between now and Sunday.For the goal, it is down to Vertonghen's team mates to tell him that a player is running in behind him.
Almost a EL melt down. We were a little fortunate. They had chances to punish us, and we didn't take our more limited chances until the end. Fantastic result!

It's not just the goal, he does it all the time. Several times tonight he sees Okaka standing behind him and just ignores it.
I thought that we played well against a decent side
I didn't see the game in full. Missed patches. I was pretty critical, how close were we to another draw? They had a hat full of very decent chances to score, and only took one. There was some excellent last ditch defending. But we didn't pass all that well. Too many stray passes, and in attack we lack something at times. Maybe conviction that comes with experience. We attack well, but the final touches or pass isn't quite there.
That said I couldn't be happier with the direction Poch is going. I think an older attacking player could really help. Shame we couldn't sign Dimitri Payet.

I think that you need to see the full game before passing judgement. We played well against a decent side. There were period of the game where they were on top but there were not too many and that happens against decent sides.
Is anyone going to step up tonight? The OMT Gods expect a Gazza free kick, a Jenas goal, one from VdV, Nayeem from the half way line and plenty of badgers.
Pictures can be added later I hope.
The deed is done.
