Actually fecking sick to death of the same old names getting in whilst Sessegnon & Lo Celso barely get off the bench. Last week Lo Celso got like 5 minutes, we've only seen him in cameos .. it's a joke. Meanwhile Eriksen and Alli get regular starts despite offering the square root of feck all and us sitting in mid-table.

Seriously, give them a chance. And I'm not buying the 'they need to settle' bullshit because they need time to gel, you don't get that with 5 minute showings. We're awful at the moment and could do with an injection with something fresh, but what we do have we don't use, and instead keep falling back on the old, tired options. Poch invested big money in those two and refuses to give them opportunities at all.

Hopefully Leicester continue their march next week against Arsenal and hopefully this toothless version of Palace turn up against us.

Leicester surely will finish in the top four. Out of the 'top six' they have to still travel to Citeh, Spurs and Arsenal but they are consistent.

I'm only going by what I've heard Spurs fans say! Don't shoot the messenger :lol:
Christ, which Spurs fans have you been talking to!

@balaks @InLevyITrust @GlastonSpur @cjj I'm sure will all confirm that the 'spurs do better without Kane' thing is a load of nonsense and was based on a run ages ago where the whole team was doing really well.

He's our best player and one of the few players putting in respectable performances this season. We've put in loads of dogshit performances without Kane, believe me.

No european football will do wonders for Leicester again this season, one game at a time. If they beat Arsenal next week they look definite certs for top 4 along with Chelsea. I can see the gap between 4th and the rest getting bigger.

Top 4 looks pretty set to be City, Liverpool, Leicester and Chelsea, in no particular order.

Very early in the season to be calling it I know, but we're a shambles and very far behind, and Arsenal and United aren't much better.

Huge shame really, there's no way our squad isn't good enough to be finishing ahead of Leicester/Chelsea this season. Just too much upheaval/disillusionment at the club which has poisoned the waters.

Ok I'll take your word for it Squishy, yeah I heard alot of spurs fans saying it last season when Son and Moura were doing bits and you guys were winning nearly every game.

Before what? The New Year?
A bit tongue in cheek. The season is very long though. We're playing well and sit momentarily at the 3rd place but you never know. We got a good starting XI but not a strong bench and I still believe that the big teams will sort themselves out at some point.

Take out the ones that clearly don't want to be there and he'd be up there. I'd still give it to Son ahead of him though.
You'd probably say Alderweireld or Eriksen but then the contract stuff means no to them...I don't see Son or Lucas as captains either so yeah.
Yeah fair enough. It does shine a light on the problems in their squad though, that there are senior players who can’t be considered as captain due to ongoing contract issues.

Couple things: have the soyuncu=lord farquaad jokes been done?

Also, i haven't seen much if leicester this season but i've seen their second goal several times. Codified pattern? How much of what they do is executed by memory?

Eriksen, Aurier and Ali starting for Spurs. I believe Poch is trying to play these players back to form or just doesn’t have better option. His blind faith in them will tarnish his season. Either way, N’Dombele is starting. That is one of the few players in that team that Poch can rely on

Could do with Spurs doing us a favour here after Leicester winning earlier to keep us in touch with Palace.
