Leicester are at home to Man City at 7.45 tomorrow.
Arsenal play Bournemouth at 5.30 tonight.
Watford play Spurs at 3pm.
At Anfield, Ranieri’s table-toppers were nervous at the start of the game, he said.
Jordan Henderson looked energetic but rusty. His commitment was huge but there was no final ball and I became convinced that Liverpool wouldn’t score.
Then Benteke stuck one in from a low Firmino cross in 63 and Leicester lost 1-0.
But little Kante was magnificent.
At St Mary’s, spiky Shane Long gave Mertesacker and Koscielny a chasing, made them look static, flaccid and utterly pathetic.
Southampton 4 Arsenal 0 ?
Of course, Wenger didn’t own up. He almost never owns up. He didn’t say, “We weren’t at it today – we didn’t turn up. That’s why we were battered. We need more size and power in midfield.”
HE DIDN’T SAY ANY OF THAT.
Instead, Wenger blamed referee Jon Moss for three of the goals!
It’s a short trip from Tottenham’s training ground to Vicarage Road.
Capoue was sold by Spurs to Watford and I saw him at a game at the Lane a couple of years ago. Maybe it was against Swansea.
I remember he played well. A rangy athlete with a spongy touch who seemed to have big potential. But that was one of only 19 Premier League starts for Spurs before he was unloaded.
When Spurs were 2-0 up and cruising against Norwich, Pochettino screamed at his team and urged the crowed to do the same – and they did. Left back Tom Carroll made 3-0 after 80.
Harry Kane scored two goals to make it a record 27 in the calendar year of 2015, beating Teddy Sheringham’s tally of 26.
Deli Alli was very positive and dynamic.
The lad’s done very well since I gave him a severe bollocking on ANR recently.He can learn a lot more by reading this website again.
Dele Alli only cost £5million plus add-ons – and he ‘s exactly what Arsenal don’t have.
Tons more I could say about the Boxing Day games but I’m going for a walk in the park with Jan. It was cloudy and damp when we walked yesterday but it’s sunny now and she’s just asked.
So I’m out of here….
