He was asked the question. What do you want him to say?'You cannot recover your body in 2 days - it is scientifically proven' - how many times do we have to hear this line from LVG? Must've heard it in every media appearance over the past 7 days.
We've been playing games this close together at this time of year since the inception of the Premier League - get over it.Good river please... i beg you humbly, with my christmas heart on a plate...Happy with that line up, Rafael not selected so the usual doomsayers have decreed that LVG doesn't rate him and that he is on his way out, the same people who said LVG didn't fancy Falcao. He's selected Shaw because out of the two returning fullbacks, Shaw is more physical. If Valencia was fit then neither would've been selected, LVG notoriously takes a great deal of time in returning players from injury.
One of these days, a choice will have to be made: either you play on Boxing Day + New Year's Day without anything in-between... or you keep the regular weekend schedule only and be content with one single game during the Holidays.
That won't stop me wondering.
he's on the bench mate.
Don't question him, he says something everyone agrees with. Screw Cina.
Problem is, he has had this answer ready due to all the new players who have come in and are not used to this number of games over Christmas. Unfortunately for him they have all been injured and the ones who have played should be used to it.FFS Sky , hardly and build up to the game just sodding adverts.
Haha! Can't blame him for thinking we are competing in all competitions!I know I'm a newbs but I'm also a very rich african prince, now you have read it all... can someone pm me a river, please?Why is Stoke's pitch so small even though there is enough room for a bigger pitch?
There pitch is 100m x 66m, ours is 105m x 68m which is the correct size.
I always think we struggle at grounds with smaller pitches!
I think you're overrating him yourself. brilliant in attack? Bit strong.
But you certainly massively underrate him in defence too.Rainy and windy as per fecking usual at Stoke.
Is it going back to the Delapidator days? Rory and his long throw.anyone able to help with a river? Normal one is witchhunted out of Spain!
But that fails to address the actual vulnerability of the defensive line. For all these good results every opponent has had multiple opportunities to expose the back three, only the final ball or finishing let them down.Let's show this bunch how to play please
Can't be as wet as where I am. Bloody awful weather.Another option for Louis is simply to rotate his players. Granted, with so many players out with injury he doesn't have much of a choice right now but to play virtually the same XI for three games over six days, but in principle fixture congestion should be an advantage for us over the likes of Stoke and even Tottenham.I dont think LVG trusts Rafael at all, he's been fit since the liverpool game according to the manager, somethings up, we better sign Coleman Moyes would spin in his grave !
SweetPhil Jones - how can someone be so sexy and feck ugly at the same time?Evans
Interesting to see Shaw in a more attacking role.
Probably yeahSomeone please PM a stream, RIP Wizi!Jesus, even Tyler sounds hangover.Mame "50" Birame " Cents" Diouf
I'm not saying they shouldn't be used to it, or that it's right or wrong to have these games so close together, just that he was again asked the same question to which he gave the same answer he always has.
To be fair, don't think a lot of people trust Raf now. Always injured, has a red in him nearly every game. We need a new RBI dont think LVG trusts Rafael at all, he's been fit since the liverpool game according to the manager, somethings up, we better sign Coleman Moyes would spin in his grave !
begin the nerves.Can we do it on a wet and windy Thursday noon at Stoke?Kick-offRVP can't squat.Kick-off
I dont think LVG trusts Rafael at all, he's been fit since the liverpool game according to the manager, somethings up, we better sign Coleman Moyes would spin in his grave !
We have strongly debated about Coleman and it is clear enough that he is nowhere near any good defensively. IMHO, signing Clyne (good possibility) and/or Piszczek would make more sense (especially the Pole for his size and skills).How old is Crouch, he seems to have been playing foreverAtkuntson is the ref. Bloody great.Let's start 2015 on a high lads!- Status
