Chiriches might have taken 1 touch too many at times, but he's having a good game in general. Great goal from Paulinho! Coys!
If we could get Wellbeck on loan and then swap Townsend for Schneiderlin plus cash then I would be happy with that. I think it's quite likely as well.
Very much so. His lack of a good shot from range may be an advantage for him in this system, as he has no distractions from doing what Pochettino wants him to do, which is to get forward, interchange passes and positions, and create goals. Excellent save from Lloris. Getting sloppy from us. The team really needs to be practicing crisply, not showboating.
I thought you would be all over that Boss! But I have to agree with you he is such a frustrating player.
We need to switch our wingers to their natural sides. Neither look comfortable and Townsend's getting no change from Edmar or whatever his name is. Paulinho's looking a bit leggy now too, so it might be an idea to get Holtby on. Keep the ball and make them run themselves into the ground. Lennon chip cleared off the line. Close.
He's a candidate for a sports psychologist, I think. He really is very talented, but you can see him disappearing down the same psychological blind alley time after time: trying to show off, to beat the other team on his own. Now that I've said that, he just had a couple of rational touches.
That goal seems to have done Paulinho the world of good. Great move there. CJ, agree with you re Townsend. Never thought I'd say this, but I actually think I'd rather have Welbeck. Townsend is so frustrating!
I agree with you RWAEB. You want him to do well but he always seems to take the wrong option. When he should keep it simple he tries to beat everyone and when he should take someone on he lays it off!
A miss here will be the icing on the cake for townsend.. Edit: Great pen! Now stop trying so hard Andros!
Naughton getting one of those that were given against him at the Spam. Townsend dispatches it well, sending the keeper the wrong way. 3-0.
