Goal keepers usually weigh a fair bit, especially with height. I don't think it's Forster cause he's quite 'slender' in his heigh, but I reckon Cropper and Gazzaniga are on the high side. They're tall, but they look pretty bulky to the eye! Davis may way a bit too, but he's not as ''tall''. Would expect Pelle to be around/behind them and maybe Gallagher? Not sure though. big Vic I think looks bigger than he is. We don't really have that bulky a team really, pretty average I'd say! Gardos or Targett would be my picks for the least weight, as Gardos in particular looks a bit thin..!
-
Why does he obviously feel so highly of himself? He's obviously kicked off as he's been dropped from the Inter squad, but no surprise really. I think he's a **** player, really. Good touch, maybe, but not very good. Most players who think they're the bees knees are actually rather **** anyway.

Never known anything different, Lived here all my life. This is my team.

Yeah, I don't think there's a great deal of room for slip up! Not with the level of teams we're competing with. I mean you could say that Arsenal haven't been good this year, and Sprus have been flakey, yet they're only just behind us - so they will be there or thereabouts all the way and if they keep their form as it is, then we have to keep winning! Exciting though, beats worrying about what Wigan are going to do or what result WBA are getting.

Everton look awful. Really lost their way in terms of style and formation. Barry has gone. Time to replace him. But as batman says, they don't involve their £28m striker. They HAVE to play to his strengths, otherwise you might as well just sell him.
-
This is very sad if true, but you do have to ask why things have been so quiet on his progress. At first I thought it was for some sort of transfer pending etc, but it's oddly quiet which makes you wonder what's going on. The club were always quite keen to tell us how JWP was getting on. I've seen worse injuries though. Aaron Ramsey was horrific, he came back ok - albeit it took him a bit of time.
-
fraud! but to be fair, he is the sort of player that would be the competition for Pelle that we could do with. Similar sort. It's not massively necessary though so won't lose sleep if it does't happen. He is available for loan as well and has been offered around by his agent, according to his agent...he's been offered to PL clubs.

Ok, who is posting as Alpine?
-
Suggestion, or are you ITK?
-
Lucky in the context of not conceding a penalty at the end, but in terms of the overall game and how we played, we were not lucky.
-
Lol @ Falcao being selected, I mean come on. On the same reckoning, Pelle should have been in it in the last few weeks because he had a few good chances. Ludicrous. Doesn't surprise me though, he is quite simply the most bizarre pundit there is. He never seems to have a clue about anything.
-
Good spot...how odd, nearly every one of his posts are critising Davis. Peculiar. Is verlaine Jack Cork?
-
This is up there with the ''Wotton is better than MS'' thread. Seriously, watch the game or something.
-
He's developed rapidly in these last 6 months, he's now a regular - not an in and out type of player, he's now a key player. He is sometimes a little lightweight, but his position in supporting the attacks - usually just in an AMC role - is where I've been most impressed with him. His ability to sense and float into space shows he has a great understanding of the game, and obviously we all know that his touch and technique is second to none. Set pieces, obviously, not many better in the league - but his assists from open play, which he's played 2 or 3 times this year, have been equally as impressive - the weights of the passes have been Tadic esque in some cases. All he needs is a goal, as in that position he needs to be more of a goal threat in a sense - but he's come on leaps and bounds, will be another England player before long - but not sure that's a good thing, would be happy to keep them all away from that mess if I'm honest.
-
And what a bit of sand it is!
-
Yeah, I'm really worried. Sat there in 3rd, totally ****ting my pants with worry. We're not winning games, we're not scoring goals, what will we do? oh. Basically, no. There's nothing to worry about what so ever. He still gets into positions and hits the bar, it will come. Good player.
-
Jose Fonte. Still here, been there all the way with us. Improved and grew with the club. We got him for a £1m and he's now an international CB and one of the best CB's in the league. Scored some massive goals, including that Brighton winner. In the same way as Lambert, you're not going to ever get better value at £1m. Incredible to think what he's done for us these 5/6 years.
-
I used that site, tried to be as realistic and objective as possible... W - 9 D - 2 L - 5 That's 29 points from a possible 48. Given how we've gone this season, doable, surely? Gives us 72 points and 4th, 3 points ahead of Arse who are on 68. Worth noting that Everton finished on 72 points last year, but missed out as Arsenal got 79 points in 4th. Got a hunch it's not going to be near that total this year though. We also have 1 more point and a better GD than everton did at this stage last season. How the hell is it even possible to be contemplating this. I still can't get my head around it. I can't get my head around people saying that we're now one of the best teams in the country, it doesn't compute just yet.
-
This is actually a valid discussion point, what the actual hell. Don't wake me up!
-
Yeah, the goal difference is massively impressive. Also worth noting from last season, we are 11 points better off - 11 points!! and we have a goal difference which is +17 better! Incredible, truly incredible. Even more so given the fact that we've just gone through the toughest run of fixtures all season. Top 4 just seems so far fetched for us to even be talking about, silly in fact, but when you look at the position, the points, the goal difference, the renmaing games and the total number of games left.....it's there, it's within reach and its' gettable. It's truly something out of a dream.
-
lol @ carver. ''We dominated the game''. No, you didn't. And that's why you're not getting the job.
-
42 points by mid-January, what on earth is going on.
-
He's such an obvious WUM, please do something about him!
-
To be honest, that's not a bad side at all. Maybe a little ''light'' in terms of strength through the middle which is a bit worrying, but there's a nice wide look to that side with both Elia and Tadic - with the 2 full backs as well.
