West Scam can finish on a maximum of 61 points, while we have 62 Unless, of course, the Daily Wail spend a week talking about how Eric Dier went down the pub for a quick one after training last August...
I so wanted him to work out and come good. He needs a move to a smaller club out of the spotlight I think
All three of our CBs have given the ball away in our own half. Against a team like Liverpool, you're asking for trouble. As I type a huge let off, van Dijk off the bar.
Not a bad first half, both sides have hit the woodwork and Pool have expectedly had more of the ball but we’ve looked a little threatening on the break. Kulu’s been lively but not been helped by his two other forward partners who’ve been poor, though Emerson has been good in support of him. Sess dreadful as per and the back three also forgot how to pass. Bentancur also having a bit of a stinker.
We have actually played pretty well and even sessegnon has done ok. I know DH you don’t rate him but I honestly think there is a player in there. He is still very young and he is quite tall and quick. I know he’s had a fair amount of time already but I want another full season under control before we make a judgment. I really think he can come good. And Emerson looks good when we play defensively. I generally have no problem with liverpool (other than that they were the glory supporting team when I was a kid) but I ****ing hate their fans when we play them at Anfield
Passing needs to be more accurate, and players need to take better position for the passes out of defence (which needs to be faster) . The Poool are wary of the Spurs front three, so will be interesting to see how many more players they commit to their attacks.
We are preventing them from creating chances so all’s good so far. We just need to score one goal at the death to win!
Nah I’ve lost patience, it feels like watching Winks as a left back, absolutely nothing about him. I too wanted him to come good, great lad but dreadful player who’s been awful again today, poor passing, can’t beat the first man in crosses and Lloris had to bail him out after a woeful header. Would take any half decent offer in the summer.
Remember in Conte's first 8-12 games we played rope-a-dope, alternating between suckering teams in to hit on the counter for one phase and then pressing the hell out of them for another? This is the sort of game that makes me miss that, not least because there's a long track record of Saltypool being caught out when opponents press them instead of sit back - so, just in case, somebody guard Hugo's water bottle...
I get the frustration but I don’t think he’s been that bad tonight. I get the winks thing as he isn’t good enough for a side that wants to be top 4 but I think sessegnon can come good. Hopefully I’m right
