    Jeez, Vert did not look good there

    1. Syd.

      He looked like he had just did 10 rounds with mike Tyson

      1. Salah’s Sonnet

        Haha! Certainly did! thought he was gonna collapse!

        1. Syd.
          • 14 Years

          Wasn’t in a good way

          Fingers crossed he is okay

    2. Waylander
      • 7 Years

      Hopefully he's ok. Never good to see that type of thing.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 days ago

        Yeah, not a nice feeling seeing a player in that state, or anyone.

    Spurs do not look good

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years

      Much better last 10 mins.

  5. LordEllison

    1FT 2.1 ITB was thinking either thanks.
    1. Dunk > Laporte/Shaw
    2. Eriksen > Hazard

    Lloris - Foster
    Dunk - Robertson - Doherty - Bednarek - Valery
    BSilva - Mane - Eriksen - Son - Jota
    Jimenez - Aguero - Wilson

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Needs more Salah

  6. Yank Revolution
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Toby close

  7. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Best GK since 1990?

    A) Schmeichel
    B) Buffon
    C) Casillas
    D) Neuer
    E) other?

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Tough decision...each had their moments of greatness and failure...

    2. Robson-Canoe
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      D has to be a joke right? How did you mention Neuer but not Kahn? Lol.
      B has to be the best for how long he managed to stay at the top of the game.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 days ago

        Meant to put Kahn in the options. Oversight.

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Joe Hart?

    4. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      B then A

      Oliver Kahn is underrated IMO. As are Edwin Van Der Sar and Petr Cech.

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 days ago

        Good calls...I think Cech is just a notch below tho.

    5. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      A

    6. QuintonFortune25
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      B in terms of consistency over a long period of time. A for talent and quality across a shorter period of time. B probably though.

    7. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      People will laugh, but David Seaman was a top quality goalkeeper. Will be remembered for those lobs (Nayim and Ronaldinho), but he was solid.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 days ago

        And that corner Macedonia put past him for England in 2002 as well. But I still remember that save against Peschisolido in the Cup semi.

    10. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      B for Buffon for me.

    I remember when the Champions League used to have two group stages before you got to the QFs

    1. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      That was awful

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 days ago

        I preferred the old format of the Champions League, UEFA Cup and Cup Winners Cup tbh.

        You used to get some really good UEFA Cup matches in the latter stages. These days Chelsea and Arsenal are putting out their second teams and winning.

        1. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]
          • 5 Years

          this

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Think they stopped it in 2002/03

      Remember Arsenal being in a group with Juventus, Leverkusen and Deportivo who were the respective leaders of the big 4 leagues back then.

  9. Henryyy

      Steering clear of Unitied? Playing Huddersfield.

  10. LIARS POKER
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Hope Vertonghen is okay but he's been a disaster for me on wildcard. Going to have to play Valery (whu) this week now.

    1. Gizzachance
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      was already looking at doing him to laporte
      think him coming off has made that bit easier for me
      (have lloris)

  11. Old Bull

    Anyone think Sterling might be dropped on Monday?

    1. Syd.

      Not a chance

      No

      no

    5. Old Bull
      • 10 Years

      He looked a bit quiet at the weekend, has had tiredness issues in the past, & Pep hasn’t rotated him for a while now.

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 days ago

        City have an 8 day break so he will be well rested also you don’t rest your best players at this stage of the season

        1. Old Bull
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 9 days ago

          Ok fair points. Kind of told myself that anyway but wanted to air my fears. It just doesn’t feel right swapping him for Pogba, despite the Huddersfield factor,

    6. QuintonFortune25
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Full strength for City until the end of the season.

      1. Depldax
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 9 days ago

        It's more likely Joe Hart Returns on loan and replaces Ederson

    7. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years

      U gotta be kidding me right?

  12. tucaoneo

    Three times Ajax barely got away with that high line defending free kicks. Justice will be served eventually.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Agreed

    2. QuintonFortune25
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Spurs's best chance of getting something is direct balls and set pieces, Ajax are great at defending direct balls.

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      I think Ajax will hammer Spurs in Amsterdam too many fast, young, technical players.

  13. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 9 days ago

    The last two gameweeks, Sterling, Hazard or Pogba for final push of rank?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Sterling and Hazard.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 9 days ago

        Can’t afford this combo, can do Hazard B Silva, thoughts?

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 days ago

          Sterling, Hazard then Pogba in terms of points potential.

  16. QuintonFortune25
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 days ago

    What a brilliant team Ajax are, they seem to be playing with 13 players for the first 35 minutes.

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Agreed - best team in Europe in my opinion

      1. lilmessipran
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 days ago

        Really?

      2. QuintonFortune25
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 days ago

        Just a shame all the best players will be gone in the summer, classic Ajax.

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Can’t get near them

      1. QuintonFortune25
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 days ago

        And that's not particularly a fault of Spurs (except maybe starting with a back 5 didn't help). Now you've gone to a back 4 I think you'll do better.

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Shame that thier team will break up after this year. Hope they win it outright.

  17. notlob legin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    What's the view on Vertongen now - transfer for Shaw? Are you on the site Welshwhite or Whitewelsh?

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Is this some kind of sheep fetish?

      1. notlob legin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        English but living in Wales!!!

    2. QuintonFortune25
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Of course you need to wait to see what happens, but yeah Shaw, Lindelof, TAA, Laporte (if you can afford) are the ones I'd go for. Maybe Boly / Doherty if you can bench in GW38, perhaps for a Southampton defender.

      1. notlob legin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 days ago

        thank you - have 2 free transfers this week - have 2 x Southampton and VVD and Laporte. Was planning on Erikson to Pogba and saving one for week 38 - may have to reconsider now

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 9 days ago

          Soton defence could work this week - I’d be happy to field one rather than blow a transfer.

          WH are unpredictable and a blank for them is quite possible as it wouldn’t exactly surprise if they fail to produce after a big week.

    3. Gizzachance
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      looking at laporte
      still not convinced on utd def, even with 2 good fixtures

  18. Bada Bing
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Wasn't that goal scorer for Ajax in Dawson's Creek? He's aged well.

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years

      I don’t know but Spurs are up Sh:t Creek

        Lots of good Italian CBs in the past - Ferrara, Costacurta, Nesta.

        France had a good period for CBs in the late 90s / early 00s - Desailly, Lebeouf, Blanc, Thuram etc.

  21. Paul Psychic Octopus

    The only 'technical' players Spurs have in this line-up is Eriksen (and possibly Moura at times).

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years

        Pretty sure they do. There was an instance iirc when Schar got poleaxed in an international recently and there was a big to do.

  30. Yellin' in my Ear
    • 9 Years

    Guiata or Gunn (double with Valery) for the run in? Second keeper is Foster and downgrading Leno to afford KdB to Hazard. Cheers.

        Cheers, doubling seems ok in 38 but not sure in 37
