I think you have your wings mixed up

Change the wings and drop Defoe for Dempsey

Lloris in experienced? He has more champions league experience than our 3 keepers have put together, he has no prem experience but as a world class keeper he should come on straight away no problem. Sorry but Lloris over Friedal any day of the week i'm afraid. Dempsey should play instead of Defoe aswell, playing the Att midfield role behind Ade. I would also drop Gallas.

I put the team out wrong because I wrote it from left to right, obviously bae, vertonghen, bale and dembele will play on the left side because they are left footed. And yes that is what I meant by llorris being inexperiened, he has never played a prem game and friedel is inform so why put pressure on ourselves when we have drawn 2 and lost 1 and that's the same with replacing gallas with caulker. Dempsey has just joined so we shouldn't just chuck him in.

Alot of you will expect too much this season, I would have always been happy with top 6 because we are building a new stadium and building a team for the future. Instead of getting behind avb and looking at the long term plan, the fans and media will attack him and it will f things up for us. You all need to realise this and understand we will not play the same style of football this season because modric and vdv are gone but that doesn't mean we wont play good attacking football and charge at the opposition with these players. You all need to be patient and be realistic.

and don, this isn't me saying llorris isn't a world class keeper, but just because a keeper has champions league experience, that doesn't mean he is necessary a better keeper then someone who has started every prem game for years. Why should friedel be dropped when he played fantastic against norwich, it's all about letting llorris settle in and getting his chance when the time is right. Everyone is demanding avb to rush things and that is hard with a new squad.

Before VDV was in the team, we always played 442 and this formation will always work with two pacey wingers putting in crosses for two strikers, defoe has always played his best next to a big man, like crouch, and ade can be that big man. Dembele and Sandro could be a great centre mid partnership.

Please someone tell me one thing what I have said that is wrong! A lot of you lack tactical intelligence, I can tell that by some of the unrealistic team selections I have seen in the past and the comments you've made. Some of you went mad when sandro was taken off but his fouls were leading to norwich's attacks. Every substitution avb made was a good decision, dembele came on and scored, sigurdsson was playing average so it made sense to bring on ade to hold it up and bring in players and thudd came on to help us hang on to the win but due to his tackle looking worse then it was, he was sent off and us failing to defend as a team in the last 10 mins as usual, we conceded and then we drew. Norwich were the better team but it was unlucky on avbs part. instead of realising we are just shaping our team and the season has only just begun, the fans booed the team and manager and that will only add pressure on us and the media will thrive off it. Get behind the manager and the team and look forward to the future. I beg you

i'll give you 4 just for keeping our best 2 players this season in - freidel and gallas

Also may I add the last time I saw ade and defoe start together in a 442 was when we beat arsenal 2-1 last season and it was a great team performance, the reason we never tried it again was because vdv doesn't play well on the right because you have to defend hard sometimes and he couldn't focus mainly on his attacking hence the reason he only plays well as a centre attcking mid, not a left mid, right mid or a centre mid. And obviosly harry wouldn't drop vdv for lennon, which in my eyes was the right decision so defoe had to be dropped. But now he is gone and we don't have to base our team around him and we can try 442 out.

Can't believe you guys signed Dempsey, he is the definition of average, just like Siggurdson.

Lloris is a great signing though. Dembele is also very good, although he's no Cazorla/Diaby.

verm...constructive...basically mug all our players off...big up your own...footballing genius you...

thanks goodness Dembele is no Diaby, can you imagine?!

Verm

Sure, Depmsey is average that is why he finished up joint 4th top goalscorer last season. And Siggy is young and could go a long way. Go away you mug.

I think where we've gone wrong so far is the fact that we have tried to fill that Modric shaped whole with Livermore. Why are we playing a DM in the spot where we had our main creator? It obviously won't work.

We should get Livermore on the bench where he belongs, decent squad player, nothing more. Stick Dembele in his place, and there's no reason for switching back to 4-4-2, as long as Ade is fit and ready to start.

Let Lennon and Bale know that Dempsey will replace either of them should their form not pic up rapidly. They both need to know the level of performance they have made this season so far is not good enough. I still maintain that we should have prioritised a pacy replacement winger amongst other things, but sod it, Demps will have to push them.

And Gallas/Friedel ain't broke, so FFS stop tring to fix them people.

And Verm, your marquee signing, your RVP replacement Giroud, has looked freakin dreadful, so do one.

And Gallas/Friedel ain't broke, so FFS stop tring to fix them people.

'Can't believe you guys signed Dempsey, he is the definition of average'
I know for a fact most of your fans wanted him, podolski and carzola look like the only ones that can get goals. Were as we have defoe, adebayor, bale and dempsey who are guaranteed to get goals and probably dembele too.

Caulker is our youngest CB and our idiot fans are booing the team off at half time when the score is 0-0. Do you really want to expose the lad to that?

Exactly Tdog
