I didn't read the names of those tweeting before I read the content. A former professional footballer actually came out with that ****? I probably shouldn't be surprised, considering who he played for. Ban the lot from punditry.
Given the risk you get injured badly + depending on the match time and who is on a yellow, you could easily tempt a thug Adams type into a second yellow.
He is one who is massively improving under Conte. Having competition for places definitely helps too.
He was awful against Chelsea and not much better against Wolves. Played very well yesterday granted but does seem to visibly struggle against the stronger sides. Wednesday will be a good test for your theory.
He’s still got lots to improve on but does seem to be a more rounded midfielder than he did before. I think he’s got better on the ball and even Conte has given him public praise. Still think he will be eased out eventually by either Skipp or Bissouma but that’s only a good thing for Spurs
Agreed. Consistency has to be key in that role - and to perform when it really matters in 'big' ganes. Sunday was how he should be performing 95% of the time - not one game in 4!
Hojbjerg and Bissouma pairing tomorrow it is then (I would err on the side of caution and not play Bentancur) .
He has always been reasonable on the ball, and is a good tackler but he is too easily drawn out of position so is not as good as he should be in defence. He was fine at that yesterday.
Hojbjerg more or less gives us at least a 6.5/10 every week, very rare to see him drop below that. Often find he performs better in big games too, put in some class performances against City a number of times, done well at Anfield last season (despite the shocker of a decision at the death), bossed Arsenal at the Lane last season, dominated Utd at OT in his first season with a real monster of a display. If there was a criticism for him from me it’s that he doesn’t try taking games more by the scruff of the neck, especially against lesser opposition. All in all very happy to have him at the club, solid player and a positive influence with his leadership and mentality. Can see us offering him a new contract once we’ve (hopefully) tied Kane to a new one.
Conte cam: Virtually no reaction to the penalty save. Interesting disappointment from him and Perisic to the Sessegnon balls up prior to the 2nd goal. Some more one-on-one training from the Croat needed, I think.
Another ex-Liverpool player. This one's a double-whammy, as he also played for the filth. As for classlessness, how about marrying a cam-girl, then cheating on her on national TV? Playing matches with an electronic tag because you're out on probation? Crashing your car drunk, then pretending to be Ashley Cole to avoid charges? Going on Jeremy Kyle? Playing for Stoke? Take your pick.
I can see the goal celebration from Richarlison involving grabbing the ball after scoring and then doing some "keepy uppies" .
I'm waiting for him to resurrect the old Kerlon Seal Dribble. It inevitably ended with someone trying to kill him and understandably so. Edit: I forgot he'd already done it and against Man Utd, too:
