He does is slowly because of what his job is protecting the ball, he's not the fastest guy on earth and he's not looking to burst forwards, he's looking for the pass but looking to keep someone from the ball.

I wasn't slating it, just think it's really funny to watch and gets him out of trouble 99% of the time and definitely allows him to spread the play out wide or find Dembele through the centre.

I thought Dembele was pretty impressive to be fair to him as I know he has been given a bit of a slating lately, which I feel is quite unfair on him. His tracking back was very good and if on the odd occasion he did lose the ball, he put in his all to win it back.

What I did find strange last night was that it is one of only a couple of times when I have watched Spurs play where I felt we weren't going to concede and when Inter did get the ball into the final 1/3 I was confident our defence was going to sort it out and relieve the pressure.
 
I think I've said it before but what has happened to Torres is bewildering, it's like he's had a stroke and forgotten how to be a striker or perhaps he got abducted by aliens and they sent a Heskey-like replacement. :p

LOL yeh but no one would pay £50mill for Walcott:p.

It really is staggering just how bad Torres has become, since his injury a few yrs ago he hasnt been the same. I suppose Chelsea thought by bringing in Rafa that somehow that would 'fix' Torres but it hasnt.

If Chelsea sell him they are going to make a huge loss, theres no way they will get close to what they paid for him.
 
The problem is no-one would be stupid enough to buy him, he's not even good enough as 4th striker who gets the odd start in C1C games or the likes.

Which was i was alluding to that at this present time and moment, i cant see anyone wanting to buy him unless its for a stupidly cheap price.

I think it's hilarious, shouldn't have listened to his agent and wanted to move for a nice big pay packet should he. Cautionary tale for other players maybe.

I didn't think there was a red card for the 'last man' it's something the media have come up with, I thought it was a red card for denying a goal scoring opportunity, so for example a keeper bringing a player down as he's about to shoot or basically see that Arsenal player that rugby tackled someone.

Well if you're last man youll be likely stopping a goal scoring opportunity :p
 
Great example :p

See that's the mistake Ramos made, he assumed the striker would be aiming at the goal. If he'd just ran away and left Welbeck unmarked it never would have ended up in the net ;)
