Good call.

Ok, time for both goalies to come off and replaced by attackers.

Lots of excitement now. First 2 subs whose names begin with R replacing 2 players whose names also begin with R. Then that near miss.

"Yes! Oh, no!"

Whispering Dave "An early goal will help."

That's an interesting possibility.

Agreed. Any positive post about Spurs is completely unacceptable. Even if it's done through gritted teeth.

The last thing either team wants is extra time. So I suggest a gentlemen's agreement that if a team is winning with 10 minutes left, the losing team throws in the towel. None of this 92nd minute equaliser nonsense. If no one is winning with 10 minutes left, both teams agree to sub their goalies for an outfield player. BTW, any chance there will be a dodgy stream tomorrow?

Compare that to the conversion rate against us. It seems to be close to 100% recently.

That's my view too. Let's go for it.

"When I started, we were a comparatively small club. In the revenue ranking of the clubs, we were ranked 63rd in the world. Today we are ranked 17th.” Naughty boy Ralph, most of that comes from the massive increase in Sky revenues.

If we don't bring in a striker it'll be deafening.

That's a good point, but we did spend in the summer. He could've got an out and out striker instead of Redmond for example.

I only half agree with that. But I respect your opinion.

Agreed, top post. Comparing Long, Tadic, etc. this season to last is ludicrous, since Mane and Pelle gone makes a huge difference to the whole team. And don't get me started on someone comparing Tadic's performances for Serbia compared to his ones for us. Completely different teammates FFS. A quality striker will lift the whole team. If Mane and Pelle were still here, and we were getting the same results as we are this season, then it would be fair to criticise Puel. But until the club brings in the players we clearly need it's unfair to compare him (or our current players) with last year.

But that's where we need someone. No point bringing in someone who isn't going to play in that position.

Hopefully, yes. But we can only speculate. Yes indeed. If this window closes and Reed says he tried but wasn't able to get the right player at the right price, I'll have zero sympathy.

That's the way I see it, the wall didn't do its job. But then again, isn't it the GK's job to set up the wall properly?

I find that rather unbelievable.

Then we'll have to agree to disagree. On all counts. And it's not in one week, out the next. It's in one day, and out 3 days later, and back in 3/4 days later.

Thank you. Can we make this post a sticky?

Losing Mane and Pele affects these players too.

I'm not sure how often I'll say this about an Alpine post, but that's spot on.

Yes he does.

Bringing in a quality striker will work.
