Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [28th December 2013 - 1st January 2014]

Won't be a shock but mourinho is open to mata leaving, hope he does he has been treated like crap kinda hope if he ever did leave he stays in this league.
 
I wasn't paying attention to the replays at HT but did Lloris handle outside the box again today? Every other game he's getting away with handling out of the box, surely the officials are going to start picking up on it.
 
Dawson has been an absolute liability this season, hurry back Verts and Kaboom!

He's only started(from what I can see) over 19 league games twice in his career.... with subs it's something like over 21 appearances a season twice.

He's consistently not fit and injured at all his clubs. Waiting on Kaboul is the same as relying on King for a decade, ridiculous. Doesn't matter how good a player is, if he can't play he's of no use to the team. Let's assume King was the bestest CB ever, playing 5 games, and training(when he actually did that) with the team trying to play with him, then finding him not available for the big games is worse than training with and being used to another defender who is just available.

Kos/Mert aren't truly epically brilliant defenders, they are full of mistakes, their success in the past season has come from form and consistently playing together, they didn't get better as players, they just got used to each other.

Spurs should have learnt that lesson from King, put him on a pay as you play contract, use him as cover(because playing less when he is actually fit will lead to him being injured less and more reliably available as cover) and buy a damn CB.

Managers at top 6 teams can't rely on guys who just aren't fit.
