Rose's injury doesn't sound too good, was there ITK about his injury problem over the summer? Something to do with him moving to LB from LW?

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Someone sum it up!

Everything, bar Rose's injury, is going as plan A for Andres.

Slightly encouraging Rose has trained and been shooting though, shame it is taking so long to heal properly.

What was the Allardyce question about ?

Reading between the lines, i suspect Allardyce has said AVB criticised his tactics against us, or maybe in general.

Nothing we don't already know, but one Journo asked if he he preferred a slow or quick build up, to which he responded: it depends on the opposition, and what they allow. We prefer to build up from the back and get behind teams. We have very quick players, but they need to space to run into. If that space is not there then we have to be patient.

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has hit out at Tottenham counterpart Andre Villas-Boas following the Spurs boss' criticism of Hull City's style of play.

Allardyce has defended clubs using a defensive approach and says all teams play like that at times - including Spurs themselves.

"They do the same - you might say - when they play away in Europe, they'll play the same way," Allardyce told Sky Sports News.

"Chelsea will go to Schalke and play on the break, Manchester United will go to Bayern Munich and play the same way.

"They all play that way themselves, so they can't really criticise a team that comes to them and sits behind the ball.

"To hear a manager moaning about that! He should really watch what he's saying because when he does it he wants to get some praise for it if he ends up winning."

Allardyce, whose side have been drawn against Tottenham in the Capital One Cup quarter-finals, is facing an injury crisis ahead of Saturday's home game against Aston Villa.

Matthew Taylor is the latest player to be ruled out after suffering a knock against Burnley on Tuesday and joins Mladen Petric, Ricardo Vaz Te and Andy Carroll on the sidelines.

"It leaves us with a problem in terms of numbers," he added. "We're very short of first-team squad players available for Saturday.

"But it's about getting on with the job and using the players available and trying to bring the three points at home that we are looking for.

"I would hope by the time the Capital One Cup quarter-final against Tottenham comes around (in December) a lot of the players who are injured will be fit and we won't sustain any more injuries.

"At the moment it is a concern for us, especially when November and December comes and suspensions kick in.

"My focus to the medical staff is to get them fit and keep them fit otherwise it will be a long, hard winter for us."

Thanks. Bit bizarreeally. I don't disagree with his point that away teams use that tactic, but i find it odd that he references our games in Europe as i don't remember us sitting back and hitting the opponent on the break. All adds to the tension i guess, and i'd rather be in our position that their's.

Thanks for that. Are these full length PC's always available?

Wasn't overly happy with his comments about our pace of play depending on what the opponent allows. I hope that's just short term and then we can start dictating how games are played rather than being reactionary.

Yes they are, usually a few days beforehand. Some prick neg repping me for sharing them doesn't encourage me sticking them here though.
