Managers publicly criticising pampered modern-day footballers in public, hardly ever goes down well with the poor players who've had their egos dented. I may be talking rubbish and the Spuds might win, but I doubt it. Only the top managers get away with it and Sherwood is not a top manager, at least not yet. Regards, Bert.
I watch a lot of Spurs games and that's a very charitable assessment of him. Not only is he slow and reckless, but he also mistimes and misjudges the path of the ball, doesn't track the runs of players and generally always looks like he's got a big mistake in him each game he plays in. I think it's a measure of how crap he is that we're generally pretty disappointed that he's not playing on Sunday. Spurs had the chance to get shot of him before the season started because AVB thought he wasn't good enough, for some reason, either Baldini or Levy overruled him and he retained the captaincy and his place in the team. He's a massive weak link in that Spurs defence and I think Kaboul when fit is streets ahead.
Even though the spuds have looked ****e recently, it's still not going to be easy for us. Remember we are missing Gibbs, Wilshere, Ramsey, Walcott and Ozil. That's basically the spine of our midfield, so the players who do play are going to have to really step up. I'd like to see Oxo start tomorrow as I think he's bang on form at the moment. He terrorised the Bayern defence and if we can get him running at Kaboul and Vertonghen, then I think he'll cause them a lot of problems.
Loads vital! Forgive me for not believing Wengers assessment of when Ramsey will be back, but Arsenal players seem to always have setbacks on any injury that lasts longer than 2 weeks.
If either one of us or Liverpool win tomorrow the title race is going to open right back up again. Beat spurs and our game against Chelsea gives us the chance to take advantage in the run in.
You can all you like mate, it doesn't change the fact that you are 5 points behind them and you need them to lose if you're going to scrape into 5th.
This man brings very little to your team and should only be used for the last 20 mins to add energy when needed.
