After the sale of Suarez some pundits are of the opinion that we're going to do Spurs (after the sale of Bale). Where are goals going to come from? Performance today at White Hart Lane was a good come back after the defeat at Etihad Stadium last Monday. The question now, do we bring Glen Johnson back as a regular right back?. Do we keep Sakho when Skrtel is fit?. Back to winning ways. what crisis?.
Johnson will come straight back into the side - his contract clause says that he must. Skrtel, I think, will be rotated with Sakho anyway this season and I'd expect them both to feature heavily. Maybe stick with Sakho for now after he improved in the second half, see if he can claim that spot as his own.
Johnson, no, never, please God no. Skrtel, not for me. Lovern looked more natural on the right and in the 2nd half Lovern and Sakho looked fairly solid. Think Balotelli looked good today, just the finishing to come. He'll also help Studge and Sterling as he occupies defenders, takes the attention away from SAS leaving the space open for them. The fullbacks today looked to be the best we've had for some time and overall the squad is more balanced with strength coming off the bench today, Markovic compared to Moses. Suarez is an World Class player but the title is won by the club with the best squad (usually)
Don't like the idea of rotating cb's. Think they need to play together more. It's such a crucial part of the team. I know they can't play every game but if they gel then they need to play the most . Johnson....hell no!
I said if we lose today (at 9am btw) it could be a crisis. I said all about ability to press and work in cm area Lfc did a lot better and push pushed reasonably hard in the area too. I feel a lot better that we've showed some legs
I think BR would rather have those pictures posted then tell the world that the numpties at the club left that clause in when they last renegotiated his contract in 2011.
Imagine how funny it would be if Johnson started every game and was subbed in the first minute! make us look pretty stupid though hopefully now there is real competition in the defence Johnson will improve, I BELIEVE!!!! Sakho looked shaky today, but think he needs game time to improve, Louvren and Moreno easily best buys of summer, but still plenty to improve on, a better side would have capitalised on our mistakes today.
fairness to spurs they aint too bad. villa next are not quite on a par with them but are close this season in terms of form so we must expect a storm from them
