    Key player to an approach where we have succeeded without him?

    We've managed without him, we do it better with him.

    So we’re replacing Coutinho’s goals and assists (and general creativity) with Lallana’s pressing?

    According to you, yes. I've already said Lallana was at the club well before Coutinho was even rumored to be moving. Oxlade is more likely the replacement of anyone already at the club.

    I'm with Jimmy on this one. I like Lallana but with Wiji, Hendo, Milner, Can and the Ox, the one thing we lack is creativity. Unless Lallana can play with that freedom and link up well with the front 3, his pressing efforts may well be wasted.

    The creativity criticism is valid. It does not contradict Lallana's influence to our pressing game but merely points out that his primary role is creativity.

    Ps. I believe Lallana has the ability to create but needs to push on after returning from injury.

    Ok, I've seen enough. We need a RB as a priority too. TAA not ready. Gomez is not an option, clearly.

    So it's a GK, CB, RB, CM

    And a Couthino replacement.

    We'd better get spending!

    Gomez has been sucked in off the touchline because of KDB's presence, he can't leave that space open.

    I've been critical of Gomez at times but he was marking two

    To be fair Gomez is a centre back, not a right back. TAA is ok going forward, but is no stopper. AH well onward and upward, keep smiling

    Agreed. So we need a RB!

    If he's going to leave that space, he can't be trying to get there like he did. He needed to stand 3yrds off him and wait for the first touch.

    Yes we need a RB with TAA as back up. Gomez in an emergency if injuries dictate. We should be giving Gomez games alongside VVD it is the future, not Garlic Bread!

    I just pooped myself a little bit in the last 5 minutes of that. Why the f#ck can't we see a game out properly, without incident? <doh>
