I still look at that team without Dembele and think we have a perfect replacement in Bentaleb. Shame he is on the way out.
Bentaleb is nothing like Dembele. How is he a perfect replacement?

Well that was a bit of a statement of intent a friendly we know but we have played 3 champions league sides winning one, should of spanked atletico and lost narrowly to Juve.
Im quietly optimistic about this year and if We add 1/2 more then we might make a few think, im going to say it but Fuck it we will beat everton next week.
Slightly unfair on Inter, they have had decent teams since then. Nothing exceptional but none the less still very decent, same level roughly as the Lazio and Fiorentina teams we have faced in the Europa League, decent teams. Having said that they have had a bad preseason.Please do not take this the wrong way, but Inter are cannon fodder, and are a pale of the side we faced in the CL. Munich put three past them in the first thirty minutes last week and PSG likewise.
Not knocking our performance today in the slightest, but when Maicon caught his taxi after that CL game so did most of that team.
I'd say thats about right. However, Inter only finished 4th due to good early season form in their last 21 games they averages less than 1.5 points a game, and would of finished the season in 8th position had they not had the good start.Didn't they just finish 4th in serie A? Have they sold a lot of players since then or what? I mean they're not top level, but surely they're alright? Top eight PL? Or is the PL that much better than Serie A these days?
But.....but.......does he run like he is stuck in treacleJanssen looks very promising. Physically strong, understands the game, can pass and finish. I'd say he has potentially all the attributes to be a genuine success in the Prem.
Actually looks like he can scramble when he wants to. Had my doubts, but I'm sold on him after that. Very clever player and very strong. Excellent instincts.But.....but.......does he run like he is stuck in treacle

Highlights?
I didn't realise we were playing (there was beer) and without reading the entire thread & without wishing to come across as being a negative codpiece. Could we please cut out the leaking a goal a match habit we seem to have gotten into.
Ta.
-Boring fart pants.
Great to hear. My remark was slightly tongue in cheek after reading comments after juventus and Atletico .
The hold up play is particularly interesting as I think this is one of kane's weaker areas despite his size and strength
Whilst this is no doubt true, wouldn't it be good to have a player who pops up with a goal AND puts in consistent, effective performances for closer to 90 minutes?
Alli isn't a striker - he has to do more to justify his position as a number 10 - it's one of those positions where just scoring the odd goal isn't enough.
I'm not criticising him today, it's pre-season and he's clearly a huge talent, but it's not untrue to say he deserves much of the criticism he can get during games. He can and does disappear or consistently give the ball away, a lot. I love him but there is huge room for improvement.
Absolutely adored that final Harrison goal.
Great football all around, particularly from Janssen. Kane would have had a go from where he was but I loved the composure he displayed to play in Lamela. Just a bit of class where I thought this boy has got it.
Looks a terrific piece of business.
Nice result, have to try and catch the highlights. Always nice to beat that scum.
