That's not the same as playing a full match, I think we ought to wait and see what the manager has up his sleeves as opposed to getting rid because they haven't played that well in the past.
If they impress the manager in training they will get their chance to play or at the very least be in contention if they don't impress they wont and don't get or deserve a chance to play.

But if Dembele impressed in training this week more than Bentaleb did and Pochettino picks Moussa rather than Nabil, presumably you won't be happy with the decision?

I wouldn't be but it is what it is. He sees him in training I don't.
I see the potential in Dembele but he hasn't improved in the two years he's been here, people kept making excuses that his hip is the problem and that he needs surgery but he just come through all of Poch's sessions without getting hip surgery.

Don't think we do really,a 2-0 or 2-1 is most realistic. We have a long way to go under Poch,we were a mess last season and that is getting fixed bit by bit.

We have certainly got some fantastic individuals but attacking wise I would say they have the best player tomorrow in Remy. If the likes of Lamela,Soldado,Ade,Eriksen can link up and play to the top of their game then we could hit the ground running vs QPR. However that has not happened regularly and we also look pretty shaky at the back. An early goal is key tomorrow,get that and who knows.
Based on one tough derby game?
Gee tough crowd

What we most need tomorrow is an alarm clock to make sure the team are wide awake when the game begins. Our early-game lethargy and somnambulance are killers.

Does anyone know how late before a match you can put a spare ticket on stubhub as a mate can't go tomorrow?

They were lucky but even before they had a man less they had hardly any fight

Right, well I don't know what lacking fight is meant to mean in this case then but they did pretty well to win against the odds.

Against the odds, you make it sound like they battled adversity and won

Dude they didnt fuck all with 11 men for 60mins and one punt to the corner with cross that was mishit when attempted to be cleared and went straight to a Zamora, doesnt mean they had alot of fight. Some players did care but none of them are playing in the PL now.

Harry himself said they were shocking and that he was thinking about retiring, they didnt show any fight all season last year and even in the articles when they got promoted said that they were lucky

If you're playing with 10 men you're fighting against the odds as the other team has a man advantage.

They played conservatively because Harry set them up thst way, that has nothing to do with lack of fight...if they showed a lack of fight then they wouldn't have held out with a man down, it's pretty simple stuff...

They only kept a goal because of derby's inability to score, they got pretty much fucked in that 30mins, if they had the fight you are showing now then they wouldnt of been as bad as they were last season

They had PL quality but no fight, all season, read every fans view, paper and etc.

The whole of the championship hated them, Leicester fans wanted Derby to go up because QPR were that much of a disgrace. Meanwhile on QPRDOT their own fans would call their players shit(minus Barton for the first half of the season)
