OT If you take away Kompany, Hart, Silva, Toure and Aguero (pretty much), there is very few, if any teams in the world that could roll up to White Hart Lane and come away with a result. These players are the spine of the team, arguably the best in the world in their respective positions and ARE USED TO PLAYING WITH EACH OTHER, WEEK IN, WEEK OUT.
Their replacements are pretty good players who are NOT USED TO PLAYING WITH EACH OTHER.
How Pellegrini comes into this, I have no idea.
I've questioned him in the past and no doubt I will again, but so far this season, I can probably only blame him for Juve.
I just realised he's a ringer for Dave Allen.

You can't go into a season with one world class but injury prone striker with an unproven youth and a striker who hasn't settled. Left back was obvious area of improvement and wasn't done. Not sure when we look at our "2nd" players for certain positions eg Fernando, Caballero, even Bony they are anything other than mid table players. I think best eleven easily but best squad is open to question. Personally think with amount we have spent it shouldn't be!!

Even though we have injuries we will be playing a team on Wednesday that in total cost less than Kevin de Brune.Anyone who thinks the manager deserves understanding if a team of Hart, Sagna, Demichellis, Otamendi, Kolarov, Fernando, Fernandino, Nasri, de Bruyne, Aguero and Sterling, total value £250 million, cant beat a team costing around £50 million is missing the point.We should win comfortably.
