Lads, it's the Premier League thread - EPL 2019/20

Out for a throw in ,jesus

what the fuuuuck

Lol at level playing field hashtag. When has this ever been the case?

also death to "foorball" hashtag

we have a "level playing field" in the States' top flight league via a salary cap and limit on number of international players. the result is a league full of shit teams and a few ok ones.

amazing throughball to the invisible forward

throwin my god

Can't help but think it's a little early for Villa to be camped inside their own box.
MLS sounds not that dissimilar to the epl when you put it like that

Kane is the best crosser Spurs have unfortunately

yes bus parking for 35 minutes will be a losing game.

who dy'all think the first sub will be

great, Serpico's on the field now

Haven't seen the benches but I assume eriksen is there and will be on first. Is llorente still at Spurs?

with the caveat that the shifting of the Overton window now means every position between third and 17th is midtable, this is absolutely a midtable team

If llorente has left does that mean that the entirety of Spurs striking options are Kane/son/moura?

And Troy Parrott, though he is a) not on the bench and b) legally a child.

Who are all really good but son/moura aren't really a stylistic replacement for kane obviously.

"oh hey the goalie is off his line, I'm going to strike a slow, bouncing shot towards goal"

Boom

lol i'm on a one minute delay, wonder what will happen

Calmly done

woooooow

Wesley has been shit at holding the ball up for villa

still a shit result though if they don't get another goal

Ooh free kick let's see the new attacker can't be in the wall rule

búm

Ooh save

Is Sanchez playing at CF?

Ndombele really feeling it right now, he's barca era ronaldinho in his head atm

XP llorente replacement

looks like a handball to me

Co-commentator "Danny rose is the only Tottenham outfield player not to have a shot on target"
Graphic -shots on target Spurs 5.????

Routine win

Never in doubt.

Sloppy grealish

that's unfortunate (for AV), helluva break for Tottenham

Cue motd bore later tonight going on about getting punished for mistakes "at this level"

Clinical finish.

Wonderful

Villa have offered little this half.

Oliver Oliver Oliver skiiiiip

at least I feel better for the family of 4 who went to their first Spurs match that they're not going to go home with daddy in a severe mood, his spouse admonishing him for cussing in the car in front of the kiddies

Villa basically parked the bus the moment they had their first goal.

xp
typical ilx spurs fan not merely cussing in front of the lil' perisher, more like throwing the bairn out with the gripewater!

villa had a few good chances in first half and imo shouldve had a peno

but they'll play better teams than that

goals were good viewed in isolation but struggling to feel invested in watching us grind out a win while being crap and boring

in the exact same manner as last season

Not very good but not a catastrophe by any means. Difficult to say anything about our chances this season till we play against a team closer to our level where we see a bit more of the ball. Encouraged by McGinn, Mings, Heaton. Dunno about Wesley

We weren't very good for the first half but you were very hard to break down for most of that. Felt like a resolute and surprisingly organised performance for a team of basically complete strangers.

Grealish's face doesn't get any less annoying though.

Yes, defensively they were good. Mings in particular but all very organised.

Spurs were a different team when Eriksen came on and it’s going to be a long old season if lo Celso can’t fill that gap.
