even Nc would have to take our injury crisis into consideration I think.

certainly not going forward or perhaps in positional anticpation either. Got skinned for their second goal, thought he'd done the hard work and then Cork failed to cut out a ball he either needed to clear or leave alone. As we're short everywhere just now I could actually see an argument for using both of them against Cardiff, Clyne at RB and Chambers at RM.

I still think Fox had a reasonable game until he got clobbered, didn't Spurs first two goals come from raids down our right hand side ?

It's OK I can take it, Gazzaniga gets my goat and that's not going to change. He's a very poor keeper and whoever brought him to the club for an outrageous fee with 20 league 2 games in which he conceeded a shedload of goals needs shooting, perhaps he has been ..shot(or fired) that is.

Cork gave the ball away for their second goal, he's not good in the tackle. You need to stop saying silly things and displaying your little Englander ex pat mentality ART.

Indeed they have, we could easily have lost against City and Newcastle, Chambers saved his bacon at Toon and City squandered chances that they shouldn't have. I would actually like someone to explain to me why we paid nigh on 3 million £ for a useless lump with just 20 League 2 games to his credit. He was poor last season, he's poor this. If he had been seen as a realistic back up to Boruc he'd have been our Number 2 and played in the LC at least, he isn't and wasn't.

The European ship has sailed for this season unless we win the Cup or lose in the final to a CL team. We're 10 points adrift now.

Is Yoshida in the Build Up gallery, no he isn't, he's probably not totally fit or on his way out. Doubt if he'll play for us again in the latter case.

If you look at the training gallery from last Friday you'll note that you can't see Fonte,Osvaldo or Yoshida. Now absence from those photos doesn't set anything in stone but it's more often than not that if they aren't to be seen they're not fully fit.

I've looked up his record at Gillingham, conceeded loads of goals there as well, scores like 4-3 to Accrington, 5-4 Hereford, 3-3 against Bournemouth,4-3 Crewe, he was rubbish then and still is now.

we didn't pay nigh on 3 million quid for Ali Dia. Whatever possessed us to do that, 20 games in League 2 and then wham 3 million quid. No international caps, nothing. Think they lost most of them as well.

Why if he was going anywhere we'd be playing his little legs off now. We're obviously focusing on the Everton and Chelsea games, trying to ease the 4 yellow carders and walking wounded through until then.

ah right, I meant future games.

Perhaps they're in the 'give the boy time' brigade. Doubt if he'll get any more after today.

Yes I do, I'd try anyone if it meant that Gazza was sent packing. Cropper played at the U20 WC with a bad defence but he still made a few saves against what you might assume are decent players. For me Gazza does nothing at all. I'd stick a free kick dummy in his place and expect better results because he just seems to be totally lost most of the time.

do we actually know that ?

he makes a few saves but not very many. My real beef with him is that he controls nothing, he anticipates nothing and he obviously makes the defence worried all of the time.

but we can't do anything before the next 3 games take place, ie storm passing. Obviously we aren't going to let the 11th January game pass with Gazzaniga in goal, until then, it's Cropper or as you were. I'd go Cropper, simply on the basis that he can't affect the results in a worse way.

Gazza was purchased after our accession to the PL and for a pretty penny to boot. I'd expect that he was not supposed to play for the first team at all this season but as our 2 front liners are out for extended periods at the same time we've just hit a brick wall. As we don't like loaning out out players and paying vast sums towards their salaries he was redundant and consigned to the U21s and then suddenly he wasn't. We've caught a cold with this lad that's all, shouldn't have made any difference to us but KD got injured at the same time as Boruc. We can but wait until the storm passes but I can see us losing every game whilst he's between the sticks. Opposition managers will have worked out just how sh*te he is and throw everything at him early on, like Villa did.

I'd have to look at it again but from what I saw i'd say the OG is more a problem of the keeper not stopping the cross as Jos would have expected him to do, it just hits him and goes in afterwards.

yes he did, thought he looked, well at least acceptable up until then. Did well for our first goal. Obviously we wouldn't have changed Chambers to the left and had JWP at right back if there had been any choice in the matter.

Fonte is obviously not right, don't think he appears on the training pics at all. He's also on 4 yellows and we probably just don't have anyone else to put on the bench. Virtually all of our players without major injuries were in the 18 today. Shaw being ill again just caused us one more concern, we are scraping the barrel just now.

often looks like that, second Spurs goal today was unbelievable, he just watched it and then tried to block it after it had passed him.

I've seen better keepers on public recreation grounds, he is just so gormless that it's not true. Can't understand why we play him, Cropper is on the list and at least he's played a few Us internationals.

not so sure, perhaps our back up plan in case of injury to Lovren and Fonte was to shift Victor back there. Didn't need to and then couldn't.
