Premier League 9/10 November 2013

Before you all start banging on about Christian Erektion, remember he already proved his doubters wrong in the home game vs Norwich.

And Fey, if he's so inconsistent; how do you explain his consistently mediocre form since?

Burned you.

Absolutely brilliant from Krul - congrats Kimmy 

Remy  yeah we made the wrong decision when signing a striker. Soldado isn't a Prem forward.

Deserved it for only playing 45 mins in truth - still that was probably our best 45 mins in a while.

Glenn u are a genius  

Some nasty twitter rumours out there, apparently both Merte and Rosicky are out!!

We are fucked if that's true, don't trust our defence without the big fucking German.

AVB is a right arrogant biscuit not playing Lamela at all.

Glad we didn't get Eriksen, very average player.

Townsend is Lennon Mark II

Temi: (external) AVB out please. Gareth Bale saved
him last season. Now he's being exposed.

Jonty Leibowitz: (external) I'd block a week wages
for everyone involved, including AVB. Played with no heart.

Very makeshift looking defence from Man City. Don't think any of these would start in an all-fit-and-firing scenario.

I felt most of the saves Krul made were from shots that were right at him him.

Soldaldo isn't a top quality lone forward. If he was partnered with another CF with presence who could dominate defences, I think he would be a very reliable goal scorer.

Most of Spurs shots were pretty ambitious and straight forward, there was some excellent saves though, the one from the deflected freekick was absurd.

I felt most of the saves Krul made were from shots that were right at him him too too. But you have to be in the right position to save the shots that are right at you you, otherwise they go in. He also gets up well and when he makes saves he directs the ball to safety, which is important.

To be fair, majority of Kruls saves were near enough to him. And so he just parried many back into play. Should have been punished at least once for that.

Not a bad performance overall, second half was very good, minus the finishing. Not as hopeless as the Wham loss. Still a long way to go this season, glimpses that the team is starting to settle.

City losing  

Spurs have one more goal than Luis Suarez in the league this season, having played 5 games more

This season is bobbins.

ManC have a terrible record at the stadium of light in recent years and the away form in general has been poor.

If City win, that should be the unexpected result from this match.

Wes Brown, Dossena, Adam Johnson...just realised how much of a difficult task Poyet has.

This is looking like the best season in many years.

an on-form Adebayor? is he still even at Spurs?!

Phil Bardsley ffs. Sunderland fans should've booed when he scored.

Ahem. As I recall there was some regular poster from the la liga thread who was pretty certain Soldado wasn't good enough for anyone with CL aspirations. Hmm....can't remember who that was...

Think he would be in the right team. Spurs will always try and play from the flanks whereas Soldado needs it played through the middle. For City or for us or Arsenal I think he'd be brilliant as you'd have Silva, Coutinho and Ozil playing those balls through for him.

spurs just play shitty football with not much creativity and he needs alot of that behind him to be at his best.

constantly going down the flanks is not for him

I think he could be a great partner for either Saurez or Aguero (or Negredo) but at Arsenal he would be by himself and have the same problems he does at Spurs. We don't keep possession as well as we used to and he himself doesn't seem like he can battle against even one good CB and regularly bring the ball down and lay it off. Something that we are very dependent on.

"This is the highlight of my career. It was nice to celebrate with the back four. These kind of games don't happen very often. A great result."

His performance was the highlight of his career. That's weird frankly

Please. A city win is not the unexpected result.

You say shitty, I'm going to say desperate and unimaginative. Though it was better in the 2nd half today.

I think maybe they should try play Eriksen in CM next to Sandro. Play Townsend on the left and Paulinho in the right with Lamela/Holtby in the middle behind Soldado.

They really need better FBs too.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger reveals 'there's a bug in the camp overnight' and one or two of his players are not feeling 100%



fucking Wenger and his tight grip on the purse strings. Why are the players camping out in November? You're just asking for them to get sick.

When you look at the status and talent of each club, of course not. But Sunderland is very much their bogey team and they have as bad away record in the PL so far.

Every win is the highlight of the guys career, he's very excitable.

He's had similar games before, most notably in his debut at against Palermo back in 2006. If he puts his injury issues behind him he'll be one of the best around.
