You gotta feel sorry for Rafa.. to finish your CL group with 12 points and not qualify for the knock-out rounds is painful. 12 points would have been enough in 6 out of 8 groups this year.

Yup, It's really unfortunate, worst thing was that they only needed one more goal. I thought they had won 1-0, but when they won 2-0 I felt really bad for them. Hopefully he wins the europa again. They didn't even go out on head to head. They went out on goal difference to arsenal, that's a real kick in the teeth.

So then guys, how are we feeling about the (Sunday??) match away to spurs?

I think we're a stronger team, definitely in form at the minute, but we have no Gerrard to do those ridiculous passes!

Seriously, I always watch the full 90 minutes, and he's pirlo-esque now; it's amazing.

But anyways, I think we SHOULD beat spurs, but Liverpool are pros at making things difficult and unbearable to watch :/

That's really unfortunate for Benitez, tough group and at least they didn't disgrace themselves. If Napoli want to focus on EL they could get far quite easily.

I imagine he'll be told to concentrate on the league so they get CL football again for next year.

2009/2010 - won at home, lost away (3 points)

If they start Soldado then I can't see them grabbing anymore than one goal in the match. With the form Suarez is in we are definitely capable of winning imo

It's Aggers 29th today.. :smile:

Suarez might have a Hull game-esque performance. Spurs are pretty solid in the middle of the pitch from their CBs to CMs so it won't be easy for Suarez to get time and space. With no Gerrard, if I was AVB, I'd just stick one man on Suarez for the game tbh..

Really hope we win but I'm struggling to predict a score. Although we're always the team that other teams turn their season around against (ala Hull) so I wouldn't be surprised if Spurs more than 1 against us since they've struggled to otherwise.

Hopefully no red cards this time (think Adam was sent off last season at WHL?)

Tottenham have such a lack of width, if we can win the battles in midfield I'd fancy us to keep them out. Soldado isn't the most clinical finisher. The problem is our midfield three is likely to be Allen, Lucas and Henderson which I feel is infinitely inferior to Tottenham's. Sandro has come on leaps and bounds this season.

I like the look of the Napoli LB. Armero. Looks quick, bombs forward at pace.

I've got Armero at Inter Milan on Football Manager (he was already there when i joined) and his average rating is like 7.70. Obviously FM is just like real life, so we should sign him.

Tbf the past season they only won because of Bale. And at the start we were wobbly as one would expect. It's a different game now imo, they have no spark. Their only real threat will be Lennon and set pieces.

"Fellow midfielder Jordan Henderson has bruising on his right ankle from the tackle by Kevin Nolan which resulted in the Hammers skipper being sent off and has been wearing a protective boot to ease the pressure on the joint.

However, the 23-year-old is expected to be ready for the game at White Hart Lane which is also likely to see Lucas Leiva recalled in place of Gerrard having been dropped to the bench last weekend." -Independent.

We're running out of midfielders.. May almost expect Alberto to come on at some point.
