O fuck beautiful pass from Mou, Adama tears through the centre halfs then slots it wide
Near sitter ffs

Fucks sake beautifully worked Leicester goal, Vardy being a clinical cunt as per

Shocking defending between Moutinho and Marcal tho

Controversial I know but for a late bloomer Vardy is stupidly talented

Villa have been horrible Starting to suspect that losing Grealish might actually turn out to be a pretty significant setback

Oof just seen the half time scores
Fucks sake Villa, Watford delenda est

"a touch of fortune" about that second Watford goal tbf
they're probably not even scum any more, still carrying the stigma of the Pearson phase

in the absence of a new Little Leagues thread i just wanna briefly lol Derby btw

11 minutes of injury time well deployed by Ferguson jr.

I've been watching Chelsea v Palace as a proxy for My Mother, but I thought I was 1/4 of the way to £50,000 with Armstrong scoring for Soto. It's only at halftime I've realised that was ADAM Armstrong, not Stuart, so that's all fucked already. Oh well.

If Football Manager has taught me anything it's never back Stuart Armstrong

Second Adama shot and it's straight at the keeper
I feel like we've been much better than the idiot spoilt brat section of our fans wanted to think we would be but there's very little edge at the moment, needs a signing or two before the end of the month
― Tumbledown Duck (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 14 August 2021 15:29 (three years ago) link
much better performance than my worst imaginings but obv it sucks when you can't score. cautiously thinking we've got the makings of something tho

Teemu Pukki has been a fucking wasteman since, what, 2 months into their last Prem season? I was trying to fashion a Niemi-based gag about "he's not Finnish! He's only..." but turns out he's 31, yeah he's finished

His muscles get in the way

pretty sure he's about as good as he's ever gonna be and i wouldn't cry if we took daft money for him but today was a classic example of why nobody will offer daft money for him
still love you boo
― Tumbledown Duck (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 14 August 2021 17:24 (three years ago) link
made up for Chalobah getting a goal on his debut, he was good for us but I thought he might not make it at Chelsea.
― calzino, Saturday, 14 August 2021 17:34 (three years ago) link
well tbh he was a bit dodgy for us, but we played him in midfield and in a very shit side, but he did show potential and was a 100%er.
― calzino, Saturday, 14 August 2021 17:41 (three years ago) link
It looks like Tuchel might actually rate Chalobah? I expect a Rudiger/Thiago/Chalobah back 3 going forward, Christiansen is useless, Zouma is a lump and possibly away, I actually watched whatever they called that wee London pre-season tournament and yeah Chalobah seems worth persevering with
― Jonathan Hellion Mumble, Saturday, 14 August 2021 17:49 (three years ago) link
yeah he played him in the Super Cup last week as well, looks like he's in there.
― calzino, Saturday, 14 August 2021 17:54 (three years ago) link
Kounde still a target from all you read but apparently its rudiger considered most vulnerable
― fix up luke shawp (darraghmac), Saturday, 14 August 2021 18:10 (three years ago) link
didn't Chalobah start life as a DM? good learning curve if you can make the switch to being a centre half with more in your armory than hoofing it
― Tumbledown Duck (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 14 August 2021 18:15 (three years ago) link
yeah I think he did. A bit like yer man Coady
― calzino, Saturday, 14 August 2021 18:18 (three years ago) link
yeah. never want to play him in a 2 tho

ASM masterclass for the goal.

Kane not in the squad today.

well, yeah

Fernandinho bossing things thus far
― Jonathan Hellion Mumble, Sunday, 15 August 2021 15:49 (three years ago) link
I fear for Tanganga here but he’s just about holding his own at the moment.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 15 August 2021 15:50 (three years ago) link
Tanganga clearly Spurs best player
― Jonathan Hellion Mumble, Sunday, 15 August 2021 15:52 (three years ago) link
Theres not a man in the back five id fear for any less
Skipp and hojberg decent cover
Alli looks bettwr

Also, who is the alternative?
Dier is our next best right back, like

Not saying its mouras season but hes had a proper pre season and his skillset will benefit from some strikers heading away from him instead of towards him

Think hes been good so far!
The front three here are not doing too well at giving the ball carrier options but we are running it to good effect tbh
― fix up luke shawp (darraghmac), Sunday, 15 August 2021 16:14 (three years ago) link
Son is a great player who just needs some better service to be a consistent goal scorer
― Jonathan Hellion Mumble, Sunday, 15 August 2021 16:16 (three years ago) link
Like, Harry Kane sitting deep
― Jonathan Hellion Mumble, Sunday, 15 August 2021 16:17 (three years ago) link
I'm aware that's not some massive insight, just when Spurs buy their Kane replacement they should look for a provider and bet all the goalscoring marbles on Son, I think he's up to it
― Jonathan Hellion Mumble, Sunday, 15 August 2021 16:25 (three years ago) link
Hes a much more direct player if kane isnt central demanding it but tbf he also benefits hugely at times from kanes passing and how much kane occupies centre halves
I think a player who can hold it up and be a focal point up front would be a decent purchase because theres more in our other attackers than they have shown with kane taking up so much of the pitch space
― fix up luke shawp (darraghmac), Sunday, 15 August 2021 16:33 (three years ago) link
Decent on break again but starting to allow 2 vs 1 against tanganga which would be unfortunate
― fix up luke shawp (darraghmac), Sunday, 15 August 2021 16:38 (three years ago) link
Very decent player rly
― fix up luke shawp (darraghmac), Sunday, 15 August 2021 16:46 (three years ago) link
Yeah I had to run out the house to take a picture of a cat my mother doesn't believe exists, but clearly Son doesn't require any service whatsoever

Sanchez reverting to "I'll stand here and hope nothing bad happens" there, got away with it
