Barclays Premier League - Round 5 - Page 16

3 at the back with Kos and Vermaelen either side of Mertesacker. Sorted.

They are all fantastic defenders though. Gonna have a hard time leaving one on the bench when they're all fit.

7 - Per Mertesacker made a joint-season high seven interceptions in a match in today's game versus Manchester City. Perceptive.

Watson and Sidwell teaming up beautifully to take the referee out there.

Bale in sticks to the left hand side and looks the best he has all season shocker

quote Star of Spurs

Vertonghen best player on the pitch.

quote Junior Messi

Vertonghen is an animal.

quote DaveyPoshboy

*bleep*ing Vertonghen

You'll all probably scoff at this, but I havent seen a performance like that from a left back at Spurs since the days of Ziege. Better than BAE all day.

Our best defence when all fit, for me, is clearly Walker, Caulker, Kaboul and Vert. Simply because Vert's a mint LB and Caulker looks *bleep*ing awesome. New Ledley. If not that, Vert's got the ability defnsively and offensively to play DM. Better tackler than Sandro any day. I reckon if we did that, Gylfi and Dempsey would have to get used ot the bench because it would give us passing ability so Thudd would have to play. Then Bale, Lennon, Dembele and Defoe play where they're best.

Was impressive. Perhaps somebody told him that Dembele is better at beating a man through the middle so dont bother.

Look how much fun Cazorla is having

dat tackle from vert tho, will easily be our best signing this season

big brad is so frustrating tho, he can make some wonder saves but he ALWAYS sticks to his line, zamora goal he was way too slow to come off his line, could of prevented a goal if he was a little bit quicker

dempsey looked lost out on the left, looked much better playing in the cf role

I really think players who go over due to no contact should get a ban, retrospectively at least. Surely that would stop players diving or at least reduce it.

Think if the Walcott contract stuff is all about where he's playing in the team, that's fair enough. Would be nice to at least see a game with him as the striker but don't mind if that's the reason he leaves as he's not featured strongly in the side so far.
