The price has nothing to do with anything here. We need to pick our best striker regardless. I think the three are close to each other atm and I wouldn't put anyone ahead of another.

Errm..what?

I know, I was doing the feed On Rami, there should be more concrete news today as he'll probably have a scan to assess the damage. Oh, and I always say this and always get criticized for it, but I'll say it again: Ramires is the best finisher we have in our squad.

I actually thought he put in a couple of excellent crosses but Torres and Willian just didn't make the run. I think he definitely deserves to play more often, but I would still like to see Cole against Spurs because he is a player that can make a game-saving tackle or clearance. And yes, "comfortableness" is a word, although I would have used "comfort level" instead

I didn't expect him to feature unless we were at least 3-0 up. 2-0 is too unpredictable to bring Lewis in.

That's not really the point (nor is true since we dominated Arsenal in the first game and in the first half in the second game but Rafa decided to park the bus in the second half). Anyway, to get back on topic, Ramires will be a huge miss even if Tottenham's midfield is not that great.

No, sorry, that wasn't nearly good enough. He looked slower than usual on the ball and on the defense he was terrible. Gave away 3-4 needless FKs in our own half. It is unfair to judge him on this game alone, but if this the "chance" that Jose gave him, then he definitely didn't take it.

Have you actually seen them play? Paulinho has absolutely no end product and can't find the right pass for his life, capoue before his injury was just laughable and Dembele is strong going forward but is often out of position in defense. Just watch their game against Arsenal. I have no doubt that we'll dominate them.

Tbf, he looked much better in the second half, but the first was just terrible; he looked completely lacking any confidence.

Shit! I was hoping "slight" meant that he will be ready. Tottenham's midfield is not that good, but we can still use his pace to exploit the spaces behind their defense.

Please, no nerve damage!

A better quality video of his brace. Quality finishes with both feet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0pitqNk8u0

So unlucky. Such a shame.

Didn't really cover himself in glory tonight. It has to be Luiz-JT against Tottenham, imo.

Yeah, a "slight" injury apparently. He HAS to be fit for Tottenham, we need him.

Yeah it's good change to actually feel safe when Cech is not playing. One save he made after the offside was just incredible.

That's not really the point, is it? We had a job to do and we did it with minimum effort. If we were 100% concentrating we would have won 5/6-0 at the very least.

Went for Schwarzer for MOTM for no reason Mate, it's the league cup, it's Swindon, it's our B team. We weren't exactly going all out for it.

Through to the next round with minimum effort. Shame about the injuries, though.

Back injury. How unlucky

Norwich will hurt them on the break, though. Anyway, best of luck to Josh.

Wow you're fast! I wouldn't have started him in a game where the team will be mostly defending. Hope Zola knows what he's doing.

Probably on the bench.

We're skeptical bunch here at TC, we're going to need photos to believe!

Yeah, that should be Cole, not just Oscar.
