This transfer windows has been a bit dissapointing. If we are to play a Gegenpress game there is still not a suited personel to do it. We are seriously lacking at least on quick CB and a midfielder of the Wanyama type. Our midfield is too weak and slow. Even more so if Lemina is leaving.

Here is another stream for you to try http://buffstreeam.net/old/p10.php

I always enjoyed him. He and Gabby where my favourite players. Even when Dusan he wasen't at his best, he always gave the opposition something to think about. Since he left we are lacking that creativity. We don't have a player that can consistently play a through ball. He destroyed Madrid today with those beautiful passes.

McCarthy and Tadic kept us up despite Hughes.

We used to be a team that created many chances but scored few. Now we just don't score. A combination of lack of creativity, talent and lack of confidence has a thinking that scoring a goal would be nothing short of a miracle. I miss Tadic so much. I haven't seen a single through ball since he left.

Here we go again, cringing every time the ball is near Hoedt. Not a fan of Ward-Prowse starting either. Nor Redmond. Nor Austin.

Bertrand and Targett seem to be playing as midfielders, it doesen't like like 5 ATB given that they are always nowhere near the play. And they have been so far up the pitch and wide that they are avaiable for the the counter-attacks. So maybe it's by design? I can't find other explanation. When you are getting so easily sliced at some point the CBs tell the WBs to form a line an cover the wingers but they haven't done it. They are sooo far up the pitch and wide that they seem to be marking the air. It's shocking, really. Let alone that the CBs are slow and really don't seem to be comfortable playing like this. Find the best two CBs and ride them please. The players grow up learning how to play with a back four, they are used to it. Not only they are slow, they don't mark the players going behind them. They don't really know if they should follow the runner, go forward to press... so they just stand still and react when it's too late. In the midfield well, this team can't compete without Romeu covering Lemina's and Hoj's fuc* ups. They don't track back, just watch. Lemina gives you a lot going forward but what does PEH bring to the table? He's is been a hour late to every play.

JWP and Davis in the same line-up. They are almost the same player, they don't complement each other, they collide in the pitch. How can he not see what every person does. MP is just too inept. Lemina in the bench again. Come on!

PEH was the best player on the pitch for me. Romeu is a rock again, he always starts the season slow and gets better around this time of the year. Is it too early to say Forster is back? No way he would have saved that a couple months ago.

Yes!Everyone has been asking for that. It was so obvious that Redmond would be better on the right. Amazing how managers often over-think and over-complicate things. One thing that was present today was movement and it's something we are slowly starting to see.That was pleasing. The 4-3-3 is a very balanced formation and could be very good for us. I would like to see again the PEH-Romeu-Lemina trio and then a lot of freedom for the 3 at the top to roam and find space. Earlier in the season they were stagnant, it was too easy to mark.

Don't think Tunisia is as easy as you are saying but I gess it shows you are confident on your team. Myself, I'm pretty scared of Croatia, Iceland and Nigeria. But again, it shows how bad Argentina has been playing.

Spot on, sir. Plus Redmond is also better tracking back. Those are the reasons why he was picked ahead of Boufal. But after today Pellegrino will have to make room for him, as a winger or a number 10. I don't think he is a stubborn person. He will.

As long as there wasen't any cursing I don't think Pellegrino will be mad at him. It's an understandable reaction from a frustrated player. He has a case. He was good last game and deserved to start. May have been a victim of the no-wingers system Pellegrino layed out today. Here is the magical goal called by a moroccan commentator. He is elated. As was I when I to the ground to celebrate. That's football! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5HjF5dX0Gw&app=desktop

I'm not biased towards any of them, I like them both. I like Maya for his attitude. And he is a great athlete. But when he jumps with a bigger defender he can be pushed away. One thing is the jumping reach, other is the body strengh. When it is a physical battle well, I think Jack is stronger. Maya's biggest asset is his speed and tackling ability, he does much better against quick and small strikers than those who are strong. That is why Koeman played him as a LB. Stephens weakness I think is his lack of pace. Now Stephens is 23, Yoshida 29. I think given the progression of Jack's career he is on pace to become much better than Yoshida if he is given playing time. Playing alongside Virgil and Wesley would be so good for his development. I haven't seen him look out of place playing in the best league of the world and has played an FA cup final in wich again, he surprised me with his poise when I have thought it would have been better to go with Caceres because of his experiencie. So, I think you should be more optimist with the lad.

How difficult it is to say "I don't agree"? Sorry for the quality, here is an example from last game. Benteke sending Yoshida to fly. I understand he is a fan favourite. But he is a quality sub. Not a starter for a team who wants to make the top 6. https://youtu.be/fRAbrKnBn64?t=4m57s

If we were to do this I would rather see Stephens ahead of Yoshida. Yoshi is a good tackler granted, but he isn't strong enough. He gets bullied by stronger strikers too frecuently. Stephens is better in the air and needs minutes to develop. Still, I don't really see this as a good option given that both Cedric and Bertrand have been, unlike other seasons, better at defendending than going forward. Especially Cedric, he is a totally different player from the one that arrived a few years ago. So I don't see the benefit of playing them in more advanced positions right now.

Tadic, Yoshida and Lemina all played for their national teams. It's a squad rotation. Let's see how people react to this, they didn't like it with Puel.

It's a common mistake to always think that those who not play are better than those who do.There is a good reason why Tadic and Redmon are giving this chances to play themselves out of their funk. Tadic is 4th highest Premier League assist maker since August 2014. Redmond has shown a lot of progress since joining. He now need to addsome upper-body strength and will be fine. They are clearly not in-form right now. But they are, along Davis, those who create a lot of chances for the team. Boufal will get his chance coming as a sub, but he has to actually do something with the time he is given. To this point he hasen't. It's sad but true. The problem with Boufal is that he hasen't shown willingness to play within the team concept, he has his own style of trying to beat everyone dribbling (losing the ball more ofte than not) and breaks the whole attacking setup. Until he understands the idea of playing as a team I don't see MP giving him a start.

Finally some sense. People write off Huddersfield just because they are new to the Prem. But they are a strong team from 1 to 11 and have a great coach. If they keep this up they are top 10 quality.

Really poor game by Redmond. Manolo can't hold the ball and isn't winning on speed either. Gotta give credit to Huddersfield, they are brilliant atm.

Absolutely. If this is true it's a brilliant.

9 changes for Sevilla. Nolito, Jesus Navas and Ben Yedder. The real test starts now.

They called us "Alaves 2", meaning that Pellegrino's tactis are negative. They said all our 11 players are inside our penalty area, etc etc:rolleyes:

The best I've found http://cdn.livetvcdn.net/webplayer2.php?t=ifr&c=743289&lang=es&eid=551555&lid=743289&ci=5&si=1

I'm fine with the offensive effort given the players that out there. But the defensive coverage is sooo poor once they get past the midfield (wich they've done far too easily too). PEH is a non-factor. I rather see Clasie given more of a shot at that position. Yoshi is the only one on the back four from the starting eleven and it shows. But even him has looked weak.
