Statto, you know I love you man but did you have to use a picture of Dzeko scoring against us?
But we lost.
If we had won, we'd be in the Semi Finals. The OMT had us lose on penalties.
-------------Lloris
Walker---Daws---Verts---BAE
--Carroll----Holtby---Dembele
--Lennon----Ade-----Bale
Logic - we've drawn 3 and lost 2 of our last 5, so think it's time for a bit of a tweak. It's harsh on Siggy (him vs Lennon is a tough call), but I think Holtby (at DM in place of Parker) and Carroll deserve to start.
AVB won't drop Parker. We might very well see a 4-3-3 though, that was essentially what we played away to Basel.
Bale's not playing left.

I agree. But he should do because Holtby put Parker to shame doing his job in the week, and we are desperate to add a ballplayer like Carroll or Hudd.

I'd just like to see us set the team up to have a go at Emirates Marketing Project. Instead of passing the ball side to side to side, and then back to the keeper. Having possession is all very good, but not much use if you don't do something productive with it.
A lot of the home games I've been to this season we have seemed more like the away side. My lad was a mascot at the Fulham game, my wife has been to plenty of games, usually enjoys watching Spurs..at half time she said it was the most boring game she'd been to...and I couldn't really argue with her.. (for a change)
I see it as part of our evolution.
Plucky little teams who play on the break only get so far. Only teams who dominate possession become great. Of course we need a better CM ballplayer and a decent forward to make our possession more effective, but we're a work in progress.
Did this just become a must-win?
