Asia cup v Sunderland

Team announced Gomes Walker Caulker Dawson Rose Huddlestone Lennon Parker Dempsey Siggy Ade
Subs Friedel Lloris Ekotto Fryers Naughton Vertonghen Carroll Townsend Defoe.

No Bale, oh he must be going then but wait, what about Paulinho Chadli and the others who will be our squad that aren't playing !!!

Spurs 1 Sunderland 3 not impressed. Still at least we made the semi final lol.
Worryingly though Vertonghen injured.

Wouldn't read too much into seebee, Sunderland full strength, we put out half the team that will start the season proper, also Manu and Citeh lost most of their friendlies so far

Lack of firepower up front the main concern for me.Ade and JD are not going to do it for us this season as we all know.

Sunderland were fitter than us and if it hadn't been for freidel would have been 5 or 6 to them.

Pitch was awful to allow any sort of decent play but a shame we lost as I would have liked to see us play City in the final. As it is we play probably the HK eleven for 3rd place. Or at least I think we get another game?

we was rubbish. only brad and stiggerson played well although i missed the first half

i dont care about pre season and want us to lose so it makes levy and avb step up to sign a striker.

imagine if we had won 5 0 lol

anyway will defoe score again

2008 ? have i missed a trick here....................

cant relie on depth if yesterday to go by............ pitch was sh*t though.

i wanted some players to play well to sell on guess we stuck with them now.  

I'm wth you on wanting to sell players on but nobody seems to want any of them. Says a lot for the lack of quality we have further down the squad.

Maybe we should just give them a free and get them off the wage bill to help with the FAIR PLAY rule ???

i agree with all what you just said vis.
pointless taken our players out there just to try and sell more shirts.

thats what happens when you dont play for 3 years.

gomes has let himself go lol
