Left back and centre-back the priority by quite a distance. Enrique makes me cringe sometimes.
Cissoko should be wrapped up next week. Just need to sort out some things with Valencia apparently, Cissoko said that we've agreed terms with him and his agent.

I fully expect us to go back in for Papa.

Would like to see us move for Eriksen too.
 
Ah well. Should have played 2 more games like that instead of wasting our time with Valarenga and Melbourne Victory. Those games taught us nothing, this game did.
 
It's probably good for us to lose this game. Stops us going into the season with a false sense of security. Prepares us for a physical Stoke.
 
Celtic are so solid.

Whenever somebody tells me they'd be relegated from the Premier League I always laugh.

Watched it in a top Irish pub in Covent Garden, too.

Neil lennon is quite a good manager. I see him in the premier league in the next few years.

Think we've got a good set of coaches now. Even the youth players looked solid, really organised.
 
Our fans on twitter are horrific when something doesn't go our way. You'd think we'd just been relegated to league 2 and FSG had raped their sisters.
 
Enrique is pretty brass tbh. His competent defending does not justify the reams of attacks ruined by him, the amount of time he wastes fucking about on the ball, maneuvring it into positions where he can put himself under pressure and show off his strength, and the lack of understanding he has with everyone but Suarez.

Yeah, he started so well and has pretty steadily declined since. Hopefully we get Cissokho wrapped up in the next couple of days.
 
Spurs getting bummed a bit, from what I've seen Espanyol having everything.

Coutinho looks incredible, his passing and vision are on another level to almost everyone.

Could work on his decision making a tad, shot a few times where team mates were in better positions, but he's a delightful little player.

Yep. One of those weird ones where he was the best player on the pitch, but you can;t really give him MotM since we didn't score :P

Him and Sturridge have a great understanding. The way he just shifts his marker by an inch with a tiny sidestep, and capitalises on that splitsecond lack of balance to run past them is insane


Does Izaguirre normally attack more than he did today?

Where have you seen all this? I've not been keeping up with the rumours. Too maddening.

I haven't seen anything on the Papa front for weeks now, nor Eriksen for over a month. Cissokho seems to be pushing for a move. And I literally have no idea what happened with Diego Costa.

I'll just twiddle my thumbs and have faith though.
 
This seems to be official:

Subasic; Fabinho, Carvalho, Kurzawa, Abidal; Moutinho, Toulalan, Obbadi; Ocampos, Falcao, F-Carrasco

Much more. I guess he didn't feel safe to do so, with Tony Watt playing out of position on the left wing, not offering much cover.

Izzy is a really good player, great going forward, and alright in defence, he can make some stupid mistakes though, likes to dribble it around the back in dangerous areas.

Have Atheltico even officially rejected the bid?
