Rival watch

This is what £75m buys you

 

I was thinking of this goal when I saw the fee!

It's a line I've used before, but David Bentley also had one superb season in the PL.

 

It was tough to see poor old Jim Greaves in that chair and having difficulty speaking........and your mind goes back to a younger Jim making defenders wonder why they bothered!
I would love to have seen,maybe,my favourite two goals.Gazza v Arsenal in that semi and Ricky against the City after being panned in the first game!

 

A rematch with Kane at your home ground ??

 

And now Wenger's joining in.

 

In what season since Citeh won the lottery have the
Goons been "competing" with the eventual PL champions ??

 

Well that's... different.

 

How many new PL managers have had Spurs as
opposition in their first PL game ??

 

It does seem to happen a lot, but Swansea have got Watford on Saturday.

 

Perhaps that means on Jan 2 we will have more of
our 2016-17 home game than the 2016-17 away game.

 

Fixed

 

He'd better be at that price.

Has he been any good since the injury? Rose is 2-3 months back into playing and is still........well.............somewhat limited, to put it kindly.

 

everytime i've seen him since the injury he has looked like he will fit right in with our defence

As i pointed out on our board when whinging about the price there are 2 possible explanations
a) he is still restricted by his injury
b) he aint even trying for Southampton

both of which are big worries for me.

Obviously if we now suddenly find ourselves with a solid defence great (until Man City , Barca etc come calling) but i have always argued that our defensive problems are at least as much structural as due to individual errors so upgrading the players will only go so far.

 

He reminds me of David Luiz. A very good footballer but not a great or natural defender. Some managers might coach that out of him but Klopp's not that coach.

Oh well,

"Next....."

 

ah well at least we are fun to watch under Klopp if ****ing frustrating for us fans .

 

Not quite Pedro Mendes level, but still...

That was in the 5th minute of a game that ended 0-0. Ouch.

I thought it was superior management + squad
that did the job last season.

 

Pedro's was about a mile further across the line, give or take a parasang.

 

True. Dropping points in a derby game would be slightly more painful, though.
The player's only a teenager, too. Would've been a massive thing for him.

 

I assume Neil Lennon behaved in his usual eloquent way ?
