Good change of course Notso!!

 

Just seen on SSN that Friedel is to start??

 

Don't start!

 

We're you expecting some disagreement with the decision then, Spurf? By the way, I see from Goal.com that Dawson is in negs over a new 4yr deal. Apparently, his representatives are asking for another £20,000 pw, according to the story.

 

He's 30 this year - no offence, but 4 YEARS?????
Not sure what he would be on now, but would like to reward his loyalty with a proportionate increase on a 2 year deal.

 

Team just announced on SSN:

Friedel

Walker Gallas Vertonghen Benny

Parker Dembele

Lennon Holtby Bale

Adebayor​

Not sure about subs.

 

Good to see Holtby starting, shame for Lloris though who I'm sure would have wanted to play at least one of these games.

 

That's a pretty strong starting 11 - happy with that and good to see Holtby in. Lot of pressure on Ade to be an outlet so hope he's up for it.

Edit: some interesting comments from AVB about Ade - talking of 'unlocking his potential'.......

 

Yeah, I thought that too. I'm sure Brad would be upset to miss out on the second leg too but I know who I'd rather piss off by not playing them.

 

I'm glad that Holtby's starting, but I'm pretty surprised by it, to be honest. I thought Dempsey would keep his place.

 

If we are fortunate enough to get through to the next stage, are we at home first in the next round or away ??

I can't remember, does anyone know please ??

 

Home first, SC.

 

Thank you PNP.

 

Terrible, terrible decision not to play Lloris. And Gallas as well as Friedel, it's not going to work. I expect us to be knocked out tonight.

Naturally I hope I'm wrong.

Glad to see a start for Holtby BTW, but AVB back to his early season mistakes. Unless it really is all about the top 4 for him, in which case he's picked a good team

 

No place for Steeeeeeeeeeed this time, surprising as I thought he had a good game against us.

UMTITIIII.

 

with Friedal playing we will have to score,because we will concede,he's a good keeper but seem's unable to keep a clean sheet anymore.

 

Yeah right - like he was so much at fault for that goal in the first leg!!!!

 

Sarcy,no one would have stopped that one,but we've had 7 clean sheet's this season,and who's been in goal?

 

He's had flu apparantly and didn't play at the weekend.
