Will Pep bench KDB for the Silvas moving forward? hmm

Depends what you mean by that ? Because I'm expecting David Silva to be rotated a lot.

If we remember what the plan was before the season started was to Rest Silva a lot, but it hasn't happened because De Bruyne injuries.

If you mean who will play when the big games happen? I wouldn't be surprised if it's both Silva's and not De Bruyne tbh.

by Mr Nick09 Sun Jan 20, 2019 9:17 pm

that's what i mean, big EPL games, CL games, etc...., the Silvas just look better playing together than with this current crooked KDB version

Llorente is such a pleb. Even if you don't consider his freaky OG, he did nothing right all game. Can't believe I ever rated him.

Spurs should sign someone (even if they never will) to play there instead.

by Arquitecto Sun Jan 20, 2019 9:38 pm

Llorente is being played how Caparrós did and that is a Peter Crouch in which the unfortunately tall (for the assumption of his style) has always looked uncomfortable in paired with no playing time shooting his confidence out.

When he truly performed was when the man in your display picture used him as he should to which isn't as a typical #9 and thats when Llorente hype hit off.

by CBarca Sun Jan 20, 2019 9:53 pm

Llorente has been a class player during his career but he's washed at this point. Not good enough for Spurs.

How was Mitrovic not sent off? Assaulted Davinson several times, one of which could probably go down as a criminal complaint

Spurs were shit but got it done. This team has balls that Spurs teams elsewhere have never had. They're still Spursy at times (surrendering the lead against Inter, PSV), but they've managed to make up for it. No Kane, Son, Sissoko today and scored a freak own goal but won it in the end.

This will not last though unless a player or two is bought, which I don't see happening. If Dele is out for a while this season is OVER for Tottenham

LIVERPOOL REACH BUVAC AGREEMENT

Liverpool have reached an agreement with former assistant manager Zeljko Buvac to officially leave the club.

Buvac, Jurgen Klopp’s long-time former number two, left the club in April due to ‘personal reasons’.

The 57-year-old remained a Liverpool employee and but will now not be returning to the club. Buvac first worked with Klopp in 1992 at Mainz before following the German to Dortmund and Liverpool.

by Arquitecto Mon Jan 21, 2019 10:06 pm

Not happy with this departure. He was the Pako Ayestarán to Rafa Benitez for Kloppo and I struggle to see how such a long time presence and right-hand man for him can be replaced effectively and I predict it'll be bloody Sammy Lee again.

Buvac was already gone for almost a year, the contract is only officially terminated now. He was replaced with Pep Lijnders I think, and Krawietz is still here so no big deal. When Buvac was here we were pressing like madmen and left our defence exposed a lot of times. Now Klopp is favoring a more balanced style

Well, joint top defense in Europe. Atletico has conceded the same amount (13). Actually, PSG is on 10 goals conceded but it's Ligue 1. Obviously it doesn't count.

There is "genuine concern" Premier League footballer Emiliano Sala was on a flight missing off Alderney.

It is feared the Argentine striker was one of two people on board the Piper Malibu, which disappeared near the Casquets lighthouse on Monday night.

The plane was travelling from Nantes in France to Cardiff.

A coastguard rescue helicopter and crews from Alderney and Guernsey RNLI joined the search in the area around the lighthouse.

HM Coastguard said the disappearance was not in the UK search and rescue area, but it had sent two helicopters to help.

A spokeswoman said they were assisting Guernsey Coastguard with a search for a light aircraft off Alderney: "HM Coastguard helicopters from Solent and Newquay have been helping to search overnight with nothing found."

The search and rescue operation had to deal with worsening conditions as they scoured the area on Monday night.

Terrible news. What were the odds? Cardiff's record signing very likely no more. Sad
