Dudu won't be wary of the aggresion and pace in this game...
I do recall reading that he scored a 4 or 5 goals in the two games last season in the big Croatian derby, Zagred vs whoever it was... One may have been a hattrick from memory. Apparently it's a big derby in those parts.

Just tell him to go out on the park likes it's a derby being played in Croatia. He'll be right if he plays any part in the match you'd have to think.

True Macca.

Every derby is a big game no matter where in the world it is...

The fact is hat England is a big step above the Croatian League and while Dudu may have shone in those derbies where aggresion would have been a key factor those derbies probably didn't have the sheer pace and tempo of this game.

Saying that...I personally want to see him start...in from for his country, let him have a crack and transporting it to WHL tonight!

I guess because of internations, travelling for 2 of them....

Rosicky on bench too.

Both will start against Sevilla you'd think. Despite this being a derby, Sevilla is a massive game. A win there sets us up to go through.

Go the eels, go the gunners and go the beer :lol:

1 down at the half. Silly foul from Gilberto and Bale slotted the free kick.

Apart from that we've been clearly better when on the ball and going forward. If not for Robinson and the cross bar we'd be in front. Need to keep at it.

The better side by quite a margin.

Lucky free quick from Bale, as the comms said, I thought Hleb could have done more to help Alumnia, who I also think could have saved it.

But apart from that, Sp*rs haven't been close to scoring yet, where as Robinson has had to make three great saves to keep the sheet clean.

Diaby was very,very unlucky..

Clichy has been a standout, Ade has shown his finishing is at least on target for once! Disappointed with RVP, he hasn't seen much ball but he hasn't even looked to get involved. One of the circumstances of Thierry's departure was more responsibility and a more mature role from Robin. I really hope he stands up in the second half, he has more class than his opposition thats for sure.

BRING ON TOMAS AW!! Switch Flamini to a CB role and bring off Gilbs who looks half asleep.

Fab4 is owning that midfield, Hleb who had a weak start, finished with a stronger latter 1st half. His chance should have been a goal, but a great effort never the less.

If we can maintain the same tempo, 2-1 end scoreline. Tomas and RVP(hopefully) to grab a goal each.

Woohoo.

3-1 to the best side.

Cesc - Superb goal!

Adebayor had a great game too sept for that one miss. He was always gonna score the way he hit those 2 volleys in the first half. He was right up for it. 5 goals in 4 games against the scum for Big Ad, he loves them!

5 goals in 6 for Fabregas.

It's the only thing he needed to add to his game. He may have gone a ittle over the top with it, but who cares :lol:

That should have us on top of the table unless Chelsea put a heap past Rovers. Got the game in hand too so a great start to the season. Derby at home next Saturday too.
