Liverpool certainly werent excellent but played ok, Skrtl and Lovren are pretty solid and gave Pellé a torrid time. Ultimately are issue last year was our lack of cutting edge so nothings massively changed there TBH. Pellé hasnt impressed me much so far, but its early days and a new league. Tadic looks good, isgrove promising. The back four werent too bad, shielded by the impassable Wanyama who looks like he could headbut a wall down. Bertrand and clyne looked good really IMO, clyne more to blame for the second goal then the first but you could also argue that Fonte wasnt entirely blameless. Forster looked ok, big big lad, poorish for the first goal but it was a decent finish. Another day could have seen us win, so Im happily not too downhearted for the result at what are some peoples top two tip (unsure how) All in all Im happy. Just my take on the chances. Davis - needed more composure, was ultimately poor Long - dissapointing, probably should have hit the target but the liverpool did enough to put him under pressure

Yeah... Fonte at CM.... Wanyama CB... And saying that schneiderlin shouldnt of hit his shot at the keeper who made a great save, from a shot of Morgans wrong foot, on the volley from a bouncing ball he hit under pressure ? Glass houses and all that

I dont think Isgrove is that bad, probably not ready to start yet but realistically is a reasonable talent. Id be happy with Townsend though, he is likely to get around 5 goals a season and a few assists. Gives us something we havn't got right now which is real direct threat. There are better options out there however. Especially with the english player premium.

I see you have taken this info and prefered to adopt a more positive view regardless of authenticity. A bit retarded that really. Looking at the whole situation I think its pretty obvious the early days of the board there was a lot of upheaval and the players obviously were dejected as well as poch. Having done some digging myself there are a few different sides to the story, both have a lot of fluff built around personal agendas, but in the whole, of the info I have recieved I think its pretty obvious that there was, shall we say, 'issues' there and in the main the majority of players I think could have been convinced. Obviously you are more then welcome to bury your head in the sand and ignore it but I assure you it happened. Why players turning around after they have left and pointing this out is unnacceptable ? Well I dont know. Im sure they have all taken enough criticism through social media etc In balance however I think that they have done pretty well in recovery of a situation that looked like a car crash. They have manage to extract the highest fees possible, sign what look like adequate replacements and ultimately steadied the ship. The future, IMO, looks bright, but lets not airbrush and ignore whats happened.

You thought prowsey looked poor ? Thought he looked very good

His final ball is still a bit lacking but he has glue on his boots, is strong and gets in good positions. Will be a good player

Your right, you went mental

This.... Only an idiot would call him aweful, he clearly isnt aweful

Its pretty ****ing obvious guys.... Koeman, koeman koeman, koeman koeman, koeman Ronald koeman Koeman, koeman koeman, koeman koeman, koeman Erwin koeman Ad infinitum Etc etc to the tune of theres no lane here

I dont think we should be talking about his personal issues tbh, very harsh, Isgrove selfishly didnt give him the premier league shiney for his merlin sticker book today despite having 3 swapsies. Very very sad times

Cant rule out Aids, Ebola or smallpox TBh

Exactly this, its laughable how good players and managers turn poor as soon as they leave. Im firmly a fan of Poch, as much as the bloke left us in the lurch. He was an excellent manager who got the players playing in a brilliant style and trained to such a high level. If he is given time at Spurs I have little doubt he'll get them there or there abouts for the top four. Regardless of history, looking at the here and now, I think that Poch is a better tactician then Koeman. Thats not to say, Im not a fan of Koeman before anyone picks me up on that. I think he'll be a great manager for us.

It wont be the same, atleast I dont think he will play a high pressing game. Expect the front three to press and slow down a counter attack by 'pressing' the back four in order to allow the other 7 outfield players to regain shape. Pressing is likely to be done in our own half..... All of course IMO

Its going to be between both of these, one way or the other Its worth noting though that it isnt the first time Boruc has been known to be overweight, not fit. Now, Im not privvy to the information however how do we know that Boruc has taken his position as gauranteed No.1 for granted ? And so not applying himself properly in training ? Im just playing devils advocate here, as if Id worked my ass off over the summer Id be rightly annoyed at losing my place to the new guy straight away

Hmmmm

I suppose this means I cant tell the club to get lost anymore

How have you managed that ? Did they get sopping wet and quick dry ? Think you can get leather oils and use a hairdryer ? Alternatively they've released a new range of pure black and pure white boots
