It would be really nice to have Ossie back and play something like this: Howard Coleman Hibbo Yobo Baines Heitinga Bily Rodwell Pienaar Felli Saha/Jo Given current form, I'd just as soon see Jo up front as Saha, especially as I suspect we'll play to not lose. Saha would be magnificent if he's clear of injury, otherwise use him as a sub in the last 15 if it's close. After watching Bily link well with Coleman at spurs I kept him on the right and pienaar on the left with baines. I think that evens out the pace/grit on both wings. Felli is up to Cahill's usual role while I put Heits in DM. hopefully Rodwell will give us some strength going forward and some holding power in the center of the park. Can realistically see it being either 1-1 (Saha, Anelka) or 2-1 to them(Saha, Anelka, Lampard.) Hoping for better tho.

how did Howard not get in that line-up before Friedel?

who voted for yak? he was mediocre at best.

never seen garbutt play...he can't be as good as seamie was today...can he?

I don't want to get carried away with Seamie's performance today. It really was fantastic, but I don't want to see him forced into full time like has happened to Rodwell. It's great to know that we now have someone to share RB duties with Hibbo. But now I'm wondering what our best options in the back are. My first instinct would be to line up: Coleman, Heitinga, Yobo, Baines but I think that there are several others that could work really well. Heitinga Distin Yobo Baines Coleman Heits Hibbo Baines Hibbo Heitinga Yobo Baines And when/if Jags is healthy and in form the picture starts to look even better. God, it'll be nice to have someone organizing the defense again.

has to be Coleman. others were great as well, especially, Saha, Bily, Cahill and Felli.

good point. didn't see the first half but those last 5 minutes were blissful

HOWARD!!!!

FUCK Hibbert

CAHILL!!!!! and from coleman again!!!!

GET IN SAHA!!!

baines neill and hibbert are shit. coleman is BRILLIANT

ffs have we forgot how to mark?

forget explaining to jo the offside rule...our defense needs to learn it.

ffs

Mikel has been out 10 months now and Jags 6. I seem to recall hearing they'd both be back by the end of October/early november. Now more than a month past their original return dates and the OS saying they've both still got another month before return to action I'm beginning to wonder how many more setbacks these two are going to have...as well as wondering what the hell is going on in the physio room.

I'm soo glad we can't play Benfica. I hope they go out first round.

coleman and duffy look years better than yobo and distin

AEK ought to pay the wages for Jo, Distin and Gosling after their pitch caused their injuries!!! fuck off.

this ref is shit.

bullshit yellow for howard as well

bullshit yellow for cahill there.

link down, any others?

good going forward from jo there.

Do we get to register Johnny for Europa after the group stages? how about neill?
