Rafael Van Der Vaart
Second name on the team sheet for me. Lloris would be the first on the team sheet due to the larger gulf in talent between him & his nearest rival.
You think so?? The problem I have with Sandro is that you notice him too much in the game because he charging around like a bull, tackling, fouling and receiving yellow cards. Probably that's why he's so popular on this board.
The best defensive midfielders - Makelele springs to mind - are almost anonymous. They read the game so well that they in the perfect position to incercept; you sort of say to your self how stupid are the attacking midfielders who keep on running into his path...

Really? For the last two seasons, for me the names on the team sheet go as follows:
1st - Lloris
2nd - Adebayor
3rd - Eriksen
4th - Walker
5th - Vertonghen
6th - I'm struggling!
Sandro is a player who thrives on confidence and knowing that his manager rates him. He suffered an awful injury in AVB's first season, which to my mind contributed to not getting 4th, and was trying to play his way into fitness last season with AVB gradually bringing him back in before getting axed and watching The Numpty come in. If Poch likes him, Sandro will once again be a marvelous player for us.
Remind me what Ade did in the 2012/2013 season. Now compare it to what Sandro did last season
Sandro didn't play for the majority of last season or the season before that!
Not necessarily. Poch may like him, but that doesn't mean he will be marvelous.Sandro is a player who thrives on confidence and knowing that his manager rates him.

Maybe so, but you intimated that Ade is the second name on the team sheet based on the last 2 seasons so again I ask you what did he contribute to our season in 2012/2013?
Actually in season 2012/2013 he was arguably our best player until he got injured against QPR on 12 Jan 2013 (I think) so he played half a season, and in that time he did more than any thing Ade contributed. In fact I would suggest he contributed more in 2012/2013 than Ade did last season. It was when Sandro got injured that we lost our impetus for the top 4
Not necessarily. Poch may like him, but that doesn't mean he will be marvelous.
Also, you can still like a player, yet not find a place for him in your 1st eleven/system.
And what if Poch (who hasn't managed a game for us yet) doesnt like him, and thus 'axes' him...?
Would you then have more respect for the judgment, at least in this aspect, of the other numpty?

Jeez, first Sandro has to mature, get fit, have a run of games at club level, find some form, and then he can think about playing for Brazil.......Sandro at Spurs is an example of the current Brazil team, out of form and a lot of work ahead to recapture it.With Scolari gone I fully expect Sandro to be back for Brazil.. and as captain.
