DT Posted 23 December, 2017 Share Posted 23 December, 2017 I will be very disappointed if I have to watch Redmond today. We’re a far better team without him Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 23 December, 2017 Share Posted 23 December, 2017 Such a huge game today. Similar importance to the Everton game where we came out on top. If we lose in a similar manner to many games this year then we really have to question the manager continuing. Win and we will be a lot more comfortable. Probably a draw then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatlesaint Posted 23 December, 2017 Share Posted 23 December, 2017 Without Cedric and Bertrand our line up looks bloody average. add to that a half arsed VVD and a not fully fit Lemina and we really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 23 December, 2017 Share Posted 23 December, 2017 He has featured in every game except one (Everton H), only Bertrand has played more minutes. He seems to have cast a spell over Reed/Pellegrino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamplemousse Posted 23 December, 2017 Share Posted 23 December, 2017 I’m hoping for a fast paced start where we blitz them in the first fifteen minutes and score at least two goals. The Northam goes wild and their intense support for the remainder of the match spurs the team on to a famous thrashing. Is that too much to ask for?

davefoggy Posted 23 December, 2017 Share Posted 23 December, 2017 I don't believe anyone picking McCarthy has actually seen him play. This 'must be better than Forster' thing is a ridiculous assumption. Forster is limited, he's horribly slow to move around his goal and that's why Chelsea free kick would have been saved by most premier league keepers. But Forster remains capable of keeping clean sheets now and again. He's in the bottom 5 for premier league starters definitely, but McCarthy is several levels below. Awful signing. It staggers me how the club have allowed this situation to happen. If McCarthy isn't good enough to replace a clearly out of sorts Forster, what the hell is he doing here? What would happen if Forster had an injury? McCarthy would play then, so give him a go now. I can't imagine he is going to cost us as many points as Forster has this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine he is going to cost us as many points as Forster has this seasonWe haven't really had good enough backup since we got promoted. It's bizarre really. Forster isn't great in the first place but if he gets a long term injury the we don't have someone like Stephens in that position who could step up and save us like he did last year at cb.

5string Posted 23 December, 2017 Share Posted 23 December, 2017 Without Cedric and Bertrand our line up looks bloody average. They make a difference, don't they? Especially Bertrand (when he's not sulking). Don't we have any youngsters who are fullbacks? Pied? Targett? McQueen? Could even PEH slot in?

He seems to have cast a spell over Reed/PellegrinoI'm guessing the fact he is young and English has a lot to do with it. It looks good for the club if we can get players like that performing well so I expect that's why he gets a lot more chances than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I agree with is starting Austin. Definitely play Gabbiadini at Wembley. I was no fan of Puel but he looks like Mourinho compared to Pellegrino. Reminds me of Burley when he lost the plot, endless changes and players out of position. For a man that was praised so widely for his diligence when we appointed him (Balague) there is absolutely no logic in these decisions or selections. You just can’t predict who is going to play. His treatment of Hojberg (who has been our best player when he has played) is absolutely baffling as is his constant selection of Tadic. Can only assume he thinks a “rotation” selection will be good enough and that our best team might get something against Spurs. The reality is this team is not necessarily good enough to beat Hudds and we’ll lose to Spurs no matter who we pick. Just risking points really.
