***OMT - TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs. READING - OMT***

A young kid making his debut for Reading today in goal, lets test him as much as we can, lots of shots

Shame Ade, Dempsey arent playing as we couldve stuck some crosses in under the bar early on to test the lads nerves

Cue the lad having a 'worldy'. Usually the sort of thing that happens against Spurs
 
but Ade barely had a pre season last year and yet he came in and starting scoring right away

AVB trying to be clever i guess and is making a point to Levy to stop fcuking about with last minute signings

Yeah hes going to weaken his team to prove a point to Levy. Of course he is......
 
Im with AVB if he has been dropped. He never has had any real competition for his place and has far too many lapses in concentration,hes been very poor this season and Naughton is a good full back.....

Then why are Walker, Gallas, Vertonghen, Sandro, Lennon, Sigurdsson, Bale and Defoe playing?

He's obviously picked up a knock, hopefully nothing too bad.

Exacly, we're just not playing our best players! AVB trying to show everyone hes the boss by making stupid decisions! Just like he did at Chelsea.
 
Just so you know

Our referee today is Mr. Howard Webb

Hopefully the fact we arent playing United wont matter. Have to admit the last few games he had refereed us, which havent been at, or against Man U, he has been very competent, Bolton at home certainly springs to mind
 
Just caught the end of AVB's interview - can anyone sum up what he said?

On BAE, I think it's a good decision. BAE isn't really a good attacking full back. His strength is playing incisive passes to the men infront of him, not necessarily being that outlet himself. So him providing for Bale is perfect in a 4-4-2 where Bale is the main threat. When Benny has to provide it, he isn't as good. Walker should be good on the other side.

#thfc Been told that Assou-Ekotto came back from the international break with a few niggles.

I really don't think that's it. He probably has a very specific idea on how he wants to play, and also on fitness. Maybe Ade isn't fit enough, and if he isn't, there could be a time where he is supposed to press, but it exposes our midfielders because he doesn't, and it leads to a goal. Everyone has to be up to speed.

Walker has been talking about playing this rapid tempo, it's new to the players and maybe Ade hasn't shown in training that he is quite there with it yet. AVB for sure needs, and wants to win. He wouldn't be picking Defoe if he didn't think he could get it.

I worry for him today though. The team will have confused a lot of fans and it increases the pressure on him.
 
Defoe needs to score the first goal today not the third or fourth, fecking stand up today JD please.

I'd like to think his recent games for England will have him full of confidence, scored one and unlucky to have one chalked off. Think he will do well today.
As Mark says, with a debutant in goal for Reading, JD with his tendancy to shoot on sight could be just the guy for the job today. I'm pretty sure he will test the lad early doors
