Fuck Off Back To The Little Leagues: EPL 21/22

One of our overpaid wastemen from our Premiership era (Mbenza) allegedly had a few decent contract offers from top flight - but not big European sides but jeez what did he expect - that he turned down in favour of getting paid nearly 20 grand a week to turn up at a free gym for a year.

no new CM and we've sent Gibbs-White out on loan for the season. the natives are fucking livid

Mendy refused bail. If you look back at the timeline Pep was defending his character and talking about what a great bloke he was and don't be judgemental etc.. around the time he was in the shit for hosting a house party during the lockdown. Even though at the time it was known by the club and manager he was facing multiple rape allegations.

Brazil vs Argentina situation - a timeline

1. Emi Martinez, Cristian Romero, Emi Buendia and Lo Celso lied about having been in England within the last 2 weeks in order to enter Brazil

Almost a flawless plan.

Brazilian health officials came on to the pitch five minutes into the match with Argentina to shut the game down.

neanderthal posted a guardian link about that here: who will host the 2022 world cup?

Sanchez and Romero are still quarantined so the Spurs back four is Royal / Tanganga / Dier / Reguilon today, which will be interesting. The dream of a season of 38 back to back 1-0 wins might be tested.

I'd take Rodon over Dier any day in any formation

I'm liking Royal so far

very intelligent in his positioning

palace looking the more threatening side, not a lot of clear cut chances but totts struggling to get out of their own half for lots of this half

Winks a dose

No cover for fullbacks

Lloris giving them life at corners and with distribution

Worst version of kane out there also

Its unnecessary, poor stuff this

Kane just ran out of the way of a pass, if this is what we have gained for a year 100m will start to look very nice

poor half from Tottenham, for sure, can't see where the change is coming with all the injuries, only grace is palace not managing to convert their pressure into goals, Nuno has a lot of shouting and slapping to do at half time

beneteke deflecting his teammates Gallagher's chance off target from close range, his cursed look after when he realises he is a goal vortex, sucking goals out of the team by just being on the pitch

Tanganga could be off here.

Yellow only. Could have been two imo.

Right decision from the ref - foul was obviously a yellow but the the nonsense afterwards was basically all Zaha, the most aggy player in the league

tangbye

Idiot.

Yeah there’s his second!

whatever you say about zaha, he's had him on toast today, head gone

Yep credit to Zaha for that one. Have to say I think it’s a softish second yellow

He’s such a good defender but needs to grow up. At least Winks is coming off.

You've been Tangangoed

Lol foreign names obv

What do people say about Zaha?

also, as mentioned up thread, Loris attempts at punching being a wet slap of the ball down to the striker at the penalty spot, really helping the cause

Loris' punches have been crucial imo, he's been fine

What do people say about Zaha?
crisp called him the most Aggy player in the league, I don't know about that, he's been good today, being a handful

Ref applying the rules fairly strangely today, lots of tackles like that were not even frees in the first half

Cunts performance from spurs, lloris absolutely shitting himself and five players minimum hiding

Xps hadnt seen mention nor defence of lloris

Hes looked reluctant to come off his line, has half challenged weakly at head height in a few crosses and is begging someone to nip ahead of him for one

His passing has landed us in trouble a few times also

What do people say about Zaha?
crisp called him the most Aggy player in the league, I don't know about that, he's been good today, being a handful

Incredibly gifted joyless whinging cunt of a player, the type you enjoy when playing a team you dont like tbf

xxp I like Zaha a lot, he just appears to be fuelled entirely by rage and frustration. I would absolutely love him if he played for my team.

I don't watch a lot of Zaha and can't really comment on his aggyness overall, one thing I do find impressive about him is how he can, one on one, from a standing start, shimmy and wiggle his way into space and passing positions, for a big guy, he is nimble as fuck

Hes extraordinary yeah

Kane looks like he is deliberately fucking us out here

Zaha is always extra aggy first game after a transfer window closes tbf

I don't think there's a front line in the league that Zaha wouldn't improve, I love him he's great

That phase maybe three years ago where he was almost ronaldo level inevitable with ball at feet and space ahead of him, beating guys a few times for fun

Hojbjerg stinking us out

Every time I see Kane having this kind of shocker, seemingly off the pace and ill positioned when the ball is nearby...I also start thinking is he looking a tad over weight??

Cunts

xp he has a funny lanky build that canake him look leggy very quickly, maybe not fat but sometimes out of condition

But hes just not trying very hard- overworked but whose fault is that

Davies, a strolling disaster nothing player imo, who i like as a fella

Feel like darraghs description of Zaha applies more to Kane tbh. Zaha is too emotional to be joyless for me

Joyless in himself, not for the rest of us, i dont mind a narky player with talent

Kane does fit the description, an on-form dele too, not disputing that

Davies proving Darragh right, just there, terrible defending for that goal

Kane is clearly a wonderful physical specimen, it's just the slackjawed mouthbreathing makes him look out of shape

Lol @ getting spurs in the 12.30 ko after a 3 game international break tbf

They may as well send Benteke the knacker's yard now they've got Edouard in the team.

Davies has always been really poor at the basic job of stopping an opposition player doing what they like

Ive seen him on the left of a three for wales and he is tbf much better for them, but in any of three positions for us he just forgets the point of the job

Now he ain't the only one but hes so slow and his oassing so bad that the point of keeping him around seven years in or whatever is maddening me

Kane looks like he is deliberately fucking us out here
