At this rate they'll struggle to keep him. Big clubs will be interested. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Bloody hell. Someone's taught Lallana how to shoot. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

It will be a test of Puel now. We didn't play badly, and with any sort of decent finishing would have got at least a draw. The problem is JRod is a good finisher but isn't getting in a position to get chances. Long makes chances but at the moment can't finish anything. And Redmond isn't a striker. Can Boufal play the striker role? And we were robbed by awful decisions so there will be a lot of frustration and anger. Can he stop confidence collapsing and keep calm? That was a strength of our last three managers and we need it now. Badly need three points next week. Be grateful we haven't got an away Europa game on Thursday. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Shlong completes his hattrick. Of misses. ? Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

I'm getting more and more worried that my other half encouraged me to go. ?? Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

+1. Anyone else staying in Be'er Shiva on Thurs night? I said I'd be interested in transport from Be'er Sheva centre to the stadium and back, as staying over. They said there would be a drop- off in Be'er Sheva as well as Tel.Aviv Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

I've got 81 going with me then. ? Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Yep. Certainly an adventure. Can't wait, and hoping to get to Jerusalem too. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Send them to the naughty step. ? Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

January transfers are either: 1. Panic buying 2. To cover injury 3. Strengthen for serious push 4. Snapping up bargain near end of contract 5. Buying in anticipation of departure. I hope 2 won't apply and doubt 3 will. We don't do 1. We could combine 4 and 5 for a CB, LB or GK, but hope not. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Don't think they ever were. But it worked well to unsettle our captain and key player. Let's hope he's sorted now. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

I'll accept that formations can be fluid, but just prefer the concept of a main target striker with three in AM able to give width and rotate. Hopefully the return of Bertrand will help with the width. Maybe, when we're defending Hojdjberg and/or Davis will become the second defensive midfielder. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

From what I've seen so far, that would be an improvement. ? Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Not necessarily every game, but as a solid base, particularly away against strong teams, I hope it'll still be an option. We'd be in a better position to advance if there hadn't been the fallout with Koeman and then his loss. I can only hope that, in time, Poel will come good. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

The other good news is that we have kept Forster, Bertrand, Fonte, JRod, Long, Tadic, all of whom might have been tempted away. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

I agree pretty well with the OP. My biggest worry at the moment is Poel. No apparent charisma and seems to be putting square pegs into round holes. Not convinced by the diamond as it doesn't make the most of our players and I want to see a DM pairing of Hojdjberg and Romeu. Just one exposes the defence. Otherwise we have an unchanged defence, plenty of talent across the pitch and should be ok, but I doubt we'll finish as high as 6th. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

They've already said that, for operational reasons, we'll only get 5000. Plenty of room in the neutral/home areas. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

I'm staying in Tel Aviv Weds night, then train to Beer Sheva on Thurs, staying overnight, early train back to Tel Aviv Fri (they stop at about 15:00), stay again and fly back late Sat. Only problem is getting to the airport - may be no trains. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Think you'll be ok. I did the Denmark game but not all who did will go to Israel. And there were those who got tickets for thst match and didn't go, and they've been struck from their records. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
