Dembele clearly wasn't fit. Neither Hudd or Parker would start if Sandro and Dembele were available. Not bad squad players either. I thought Vertonghen was good at left back and we needed the additional height of Caulker. Obviously Ekotto isn't rated either.

My only concern was Dempsey starting ahead of Siggy and Dempsey has left me feeling an idiot

This.

AVB did pick the right team today. He did the best he could considering the limitations due to injuries.

Ekotto hardly justifies his place right now, and its fair enough bringing in a bit more height for games like this.

Dembele, I don't know if you have noticed, is barely fit.

Siggy should have started over Lennon, can't keep starting a player who offers nothing
I thought Lennon did alright today, and just him being on the pitch free's up space for other players.

Hudd out for Carrol would be good, but AVB obviously doesn't want to do that gamble just yet.

What do u class a brilliant ?

Being a threat, creating space for others, excellent defensive work - he is everything a modern day right sided midfielder should be, the only thing his game lacks is goals.

What do you class as nothing ?

It's 2013 now mate, maybe when we were challenging for 9/10th in the league that mind set would have been ok, a player cannot be playing 48 games in a season and not coming up with the goods.

A lot of people on here talk about us being a top 4 club and that we need top 4 players. Lennon would get no where near Man U, man city, Chelsea or arsenals squad why? Because they don't buy players who play in the final third of the pitch to defend

Reading your comment again sounds like you could be describing walker not arron "the passenger" Lennon
