This new 'elite level' Spurs attitude doesn't really wash when you can only muster a draw with Palace.

Real Socieadad, tough draw. Playing well in La Liga

Is that the worst possible draw we could have got?

Will it be the end of OGS if they knock you out?

Why would it. It seems obvious we will put out a weak side and getting knocked out could be seen as a bonus.

I don't remember them ever putting out a weak team for the Thursday night comp unless it was a dead rubber and you were already through. It's still a much needed revenue stream

Depends how you define a weak team. I expect a few from the first choice XI at any particular time to be benched, but obviously it will be a chance for others on the fringes to impress.

 

Not turning my nose up at the comp, but we certainly shouldnt be starting the likes of Bruno, Fred and Rashford if they could do with a rest. Take it game by game and monitor the fatigue IMO

No Haaland and the team is falling apart. 

[Kadilo]

I see the preps are going in advance in case you get knocked out. 
Obviously OLS wants to go as far as he can in the competition as he knows at the end of the season it may save him his job so any underplaying the importance of it is just <deleted>

No I dont think so lets see if he is offered a new contract at the end of the season I think at the moment he only has 18 months left,

Sancho is not upto it also

[ChipButty]

Manchester United are three transfers short of being genuine title contenders

Couple of weeks and the transfer window opens,

Dayot Upamecano, maybe not in January as RB are still in the CL, stranger things have happened in football, 

Kieran Trippier, not as daft as it sounds as backup for AWB gets forward a lot more and good at crossing, 

Saúl Ñíguez still only 26 would be my choice,

Why is it so hard to understand? We are two points off the lead in the Premier League... if we stay in the title race do you really think the Europa League will have any significance to Ole's job security?

I think Trippier is decent, not the worst signing. But also want to see Williams developing.

Couple of difficult games for other teams this week where someone is going to take points of someone else, United win these next 2 games then we are right up there, Thats why Ole has not been sacked,

Next Saturday is Southampton v City I fancy Southampton for that one,

Exactly, other teams are dropping points left right and centre. We just need to find some confidence and consistency. Finding a settled formation would help IMO

Exactly... and I can't see many West Ham, City, Liverpool and Spurs fans on the Chelsea thread hounding Lampard.

 

Why? Because they aren't the biggest club in the world.

Totally wrong,why take notice of the Manure Dunce,but it take,s two????

 

[RickG16]

Cavani is out I think. So frustrating, he shows us what he can do then gets a niggle. This was always one of the worries about him, looks like it's coming true.
