Everyone is talking about the other teams and we don't appear to get a mention, even though we are in the top places. I think it will work in our favour that more focus will be on Liverpool, Spurs and the others. I don't think it's the CL that's our main issue, it's the pressure of expectation. Our main focus should be the PL and Europa. Thankfully the Europa will only become competitive much later, so the PL should get much more attention.
Michael Owen and Robbie Savage wrote us off quite categorically after yesterday's match. (For what it's worth)
That's fine, because those two ****s are probably the least knowledgeable of all the pundits on the TV
Closely followed by either of the Redknapps - and I don't mean Louise. Mind you, she probably knows more than them...
Not just saying this because he scored, but Monreal has been quality this season, love the way he reads the play and just intercepts attacks and in doing so, starts an attack for us. For me, he has so far been our best player this season.
I love Nacho, so consistent and plays with a real intensity. I feel he's chronically underrated which suits me just fine. For me he's one of my first names on a team sheet. This season he's been one of our standout players alongside Kolasanic and maybe Cech too who's been very solid when called upon.
Nacho is'nt a centreback. I love his attitude and commitment but he's been a major weakness for us against certain types of forwards.
