Faz Posted 17 March, 2017 Share Posted 17 March, 2017 He deserves his place in the team based on current form, however unless he 'bulks' up or starts getting more goals, I can see him eventually ending up in the championship in a couple of season. A 22yo with 125 PL appearances is not, in your estimation, going to make it as a Premier League footballer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever a red and white Posted 17 March, 2017 Share Posted 17 March, 2017 If Kane, Rose, Walker and Wanyama are out that should give us a much better chance of trying to get something from there. The gulf in class was massive in December though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 18 March, 2017 Share Posted 18 March, 2017 I have an unnerving feeling we'll get something from this game. Some Decent attacking displays recently and the chance Caceres could feature. The fact we're better than 4-1 in the betting is weird - yes Spurs are a better team (vomits in mouth) but they're missing key players. Bookies have Spurs as heavy favourites for this - I can only think that it's our recent defensive displays that is the reason for that. Wish I wasn't bloody working during the game.

Toadhall Saint Posted 18 March, 2017 Share Posted 18 March, 2017 As we know MP likes to play with a high defensive line - we need to use that for us - play like we did at Liverpool in the cup semis and we have a chance esp if they are missing key players.

Mr Burt hasn't run the line for Mr Marriner since the Cup Final, he wasn't sanctioned for his faux pas in our game either as he was running the line in the Spurs game the following weekend. If you wish to enjoy his line running skills he will be putting in a appearance in the Citeh v Liverpool game straight after ours. Hood down Anorak off!

larry12 Posted 18 March, 2017 Share Posted 18 March, 2017 "Half the teams in the PL would happily take him" is an opinion/assumption, based on no facts at all. He is crap and Championship level "in my opinion". He isn't a solid PL midfielder "in my opinion". 6 goals in 6 years does not make any midfielder in the world good at all, which possibly is a fact. I agree up to a point. IMO he is harshly criticized because he has never lived up to the potential that he showed when he was young. We should just except that he's not going to be 'world class' and except him for what he is. Half the teams in the PL would happily take him, maybe not the big boys, but so what? That doesn't make him cr@p. That doesn't mean he's championship level ffs. He's a solid middle of the road PL midfielder and one of our own. Weve now watched his rise from an 8 year old all the way into the England squad, I for one am happy for the lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect its more do do with giving as much game time and experience to Stephens, and to stick with a winning starting 11 during a period where we don't need to rotate, rather than Caceres's fitness per se.

Heisenberg Posted 19 March, 2017 Share Posted 19 March, 2017 Delighted Puel has ditched the rotation system. Seems to have paid dividends already (as predicted) and imho will improve more once players sync to each others games Buzzing for this one, be interesting to see what a solid 6 weeks of coaching looks like for us COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 19 March, 2017 Share Posted 19 March, 2017 What rotation? We've never really rotated players for Premier League games this season. I did some number crunching a month or so ago and worked out that during our busiest period (i.e. September to January) our Premier League starting 11 only changed by something like 1.8 players (on average) from game to game.
