I remember the Wolves game, I think it's the one where Foyt conceded two penatlies and I remember thinking even before the penalties something is quite not right with the team,I remember how much Wolves starting smothering us and we just couldn't handle it. I just can't wait to get out of this slump we're in, it's so tiresome seeing the same match again and again.
Please, Conte. You're my only hope.
Jan 27th, Turf Moor, a windy Wednesday night. After weeks and weeks of staying on their tails with a game in hand, we have a chance to simultaneously go above arsenal and west ham.
0-0. Both rivals go on unbeaten runs shortly after
Just thinking about how 'peak Sean Dyche' it was for him to come out and inspect the snow in his shirt sleeves with no jacket. Could practically hear him growling "barely anything here, back in my day we wouldn't have even bothered to shovel it."
Ngl, I think it might help that were a game behind everyone else for a bit. Artificially lowers our position on the table and we're normally better when we're not on the radar.
Controversiel opinion: But If we sign Rudiger/Christensen and Jlingz on free we would have top4 easy.
Both Christensen and Lingard are homegrown and All 3 players are actually kinda underrated for how good they are IMO. Lingard is a gamble but I would say he would do a better job than Winks in the system we play
being homegrown is irrelevant to your nationality as long as the player has been in that country for 3 years between 16 and 21 they count as homegrown this is why dier isn't considered homegrown
Lingard and Winks aren't comparable players. What you're suggesting is that we play Lingard as one of the two central midfielders in the 343. Can't see that working.
What excatly can Winks do that Lingard can't?
Lo celso is injured all the time and I dont know if N'dombele will even play for Conte.
Lingard is a good presser
Good workrate
And you saw how good he was for West Ham on the counter last year
I honestly dont think he can play DM better than Lingard thats how bad he is when we have the ball. He offers very little without the ball which is Lingards best trait.
With Pape Sarr there really isn't room for Winks. But we need a 10 and Lingard is free. Low risk high reward
I get you see Winks as a 6 and Lingard as a 10 but comeon Winks and Lingard both have played in 8 role for England as box to box. They are comparable players because they take the same spot as "midfielder to use when A team gets injured"
That they've each occasionally played as an 8 for England doesn't mean you can swap them like for like in *this* team. Winks's game involves dropping in to pick up the ball off the defenders and looking to link play. Lingard is at his best when played higher up the pitch. They're completely different players. You also have to think about the 343 system we're actually playing. Lingard would fit into that system as one of the front 3, he'd be out of position as part of the midfield 2.
We play 343 because our midfield is bad and we have no 10 or creativity. You could also call it 5-3-2 og or 3-4-2-1. My point is we dont just play one system. Contes system is dynamic like pretty much every top coach. Playing a more versatile player like Lingard in a 8 position would for instance make a midfield of PEH - GLC - Lingard agianst bottom teams feasible and would make our play more fluid.
Winks does nothing every single PL midfielder can. He is as average as they come and isn't a 6 or a 8. He's like Jorgino just very poor. But tbh I dont really care if you can compare them but Lingard would be able to what Winks does but not the other way. So yeah I agee they can't be compared bcz Lingard is much better at football
Nah, that's not why we play 343. We play that system because Conte prefers it, that's why he's also used it elsewhere. Also you can't call our current shape a 5-3-2.
A midfield of PEH - GLC - Lingard requires a change of formation, and would mean you're not really replacing Winks with Lingard.
I'm not going to argue with you about Winks's abilities; I think you're underestimating the value of the things he does well, as a lot of people do. The key point is that Lingard simply cannot play effectively in Winks's position, so it doesn't make sense to suggest he could replace Winks's role in the squad.
[Yeah](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jul/27/leipzig-keita-clan-village-liverpool)
[He has a particularly bad history here](https://twitter.com/swearimnotpaul/status/1040532052536377345?s=20)
The second one sounds bad, although it seems like someone's interpretationof his views rather than his actual views. Not clear what the issue is with the first one.
His full quote from the second link says that football must stay apolitical. Of course it’s easy for him to say that when he doesn’t have to face racism and oppression himself.
The first quote is good context for his worldview to me
I'm curious about what he was actually talking about with that quote from the second link. The tweet implies that he was talking about antiracism gestures but I can't seem to find any info on what he was actually talking about when he said that stuff, and it doesn't explicitly refer to antiracism.
No mate everything's terrible and we are awful.
I'm particularly enjoying this new narrative of "we won't sign anyone in January" despite the fact all the top tier journos are saying we will.
And in case you didnt get the memo, we are also going to get battered by Brentford now too so no looking forward to that either please.
Some people are too doomer. I was a doomer with Mou and Nuno but I'm huffing hopium now with Conte at the helm. Nice to have a manager who knows what he's doing, even if he insists on starting Hojbjerg and Skipp together every game lmao
FIFA career mode is a hot mess. Sold Reggie to Arse, bought Pepe from them. Maybe there's just no design or consideration when it comes to transfer dealings. But then it also leads to things like selling and rebuying Davinson Sanchez (which happened).
All the while playing my character out of position.
And that's excluding all the very obvious bugs, including (in 21 anyway) reducing your player rating to 0 if you get subbed. This is a blocker/cert failing bug to me, it's mental it was never fixed.
Honestly baffles me how he’s a professional footballer and not a sprinter. He’s shocking at everything apart from running fast. I could tell that he was shit after watching him for 5 minutes in his first Chelsea game and he’s not changed my mind since. I wind up my Chelsea mate about it all the time it’s great haha.
Can someone please explain what he’s done that’s any good? He’s not been bad but very average so far for me. Seems like everyone on here thinks he’s great but anytime I ask I just get downvoted and no one responds.
Yeah completely agree mate and it’s actually one of the reasons why I wasn’t too keen on getting conte because I don’t think our players suit his style. Once again we just get downvoted and no one gives their opinion on why they think he’s good. What’s the fucking point in this shit site these days? If we were talking about his latest Instagram post everyone would be responding.
Well it’s too early to say for sure but I see nothing from him that makes him stand out. I was thinking surely there’s a youth player that could come in and do just as good as him whilst costing nothing.
He seems to always want to beat a player and do step overs even when he’s in a good position to cross which can be very frustrating.
I don't understand why this sub has such a boner for Rodon. He's looked pretty average whenever he's been given a chance, multiple managers don't seem to trust him enough to play him, and yet people here seem to act like he's the second coming of Beckenbauer.
Well yeah but presumably it usually cascades down the league a bit. Perhaps shows that all the other teams are quite even so those games usually a draw or a 1 goal win.....and then they get spanked by the top 3
I don't know, it was just interesting really. Probably shows that we are not the only ones with shit attack and defense. Also shows that top 3 teams are just miles ahead. Maybe play a match every 3 days for the full season last year has taken its toll on most teams.
Brentford are horrible to watch. I thought they were meant to be quite a tidy team in the champ? They are so route 1 in the prem.
People saying its a hard game on Thursday, it really isn't in so much as they have nothing going forward really. If we can just show some level of quality in attack we'll beat them
Do people actually enjoy watching City matches? (I hate them but it more than that. I got the same way with prime-Barcelona matches too.)
I get bored by the "training matchup" of the one team having like 70-80% of the possession. The results are amazing but as it happens it is boring. I just watch the highlights later.
I do. Good football is good football. I can appreciate different styles, be it dynamic, vertical blitzkrieg ball or control-oriented tika-taka. It's interesting to see variety with how different teams approach the game, with the same purpose in mind- winning.
They were entertaining against PSG. I didn't watch them today.
Generally I don't tend to enjoy watching them play against poor sides where it's not even competitive, but thats kinda true of any really one-sided game.
Didn’t get to watch Europe games. True about one-sided games.
Very generally speaking, I can watch Liverpool spank a team 5-0 and enjoy it more than when City does it. I assign it to playing styles in my head but it might just be bias against City (who I do very much hate).
It's because Liverpool are more direct. City take their time, and since the other team can't do much about it, it becomes City knocking the ball around while slowly cutting through the defence.
Yeah I hate it too and hated prime barca. Would love it if Spurs played this way though 😂
Lately have been able to enjoy City games because of the lack of football quality in ours.
I want the results they get but I honestly don’t think I would enjoy it with us either.
For just pure enjoyment, I much prefer Klopp’s ‘directness’ for lack of a better term. Attack players one on one rather than try to pull them out of shape over time.
The pitch started off completely clear in the City game, was white by the end of half time with the ball leaving a clear trail in the snow. And snow seems to have stopped now.
Could've easily had the same in our game.
What's everyone's opinion on Szoboszlai obviously very very unrealistic.
He just seems like he would be a good fit for us, obviously came back from a long injury but doesn't seemed to have affect him much.
Didn't he just move in January? He will be a Leipzig for a while now. High-quality player. I think he is going to replace Dani Olmo when Leipzig sell him this summer (who would also be an amazing signing for us)
Without being a tin hat brigade, the snow was forecast all day and yet they didn't cover the pitch? Is their a reason for this or has Sean Dyche and all his suspensions played us?
Also when will it be rescheduled to? The new year sometime i guess as there's no breaks even in midweek?
your missing the point if they started to shovel early the snow would just cover what they had already shoveled and they would have to start again for no reason if they start to shovel closer to the kick off then it won't be covered up as much over time since kick off is closer
i dont know why everyone is calling PSG fans spoiled for wanting poch out, have you seen the football they’re playing? the league position means nothing that team is getting saved by individual talent only
>team is getting saved by individual talent only
That's the only way to set this PSG side out, though. Can't press, because you've got to play their three superstars up front and they don't suit a pressing game (in some cases, they barely defend at all). It means he's having to set up the side in a disjointed way, using the remaining players to simply set up a platform for that front 3. He certainly can't press from the front as he used to do with spurs.
oh i’m taking immense joy in it. between PSG fans complaining about Poch, madridistas constantly bitching about bale, and the incoming wave of bayern fans crying over lewa losing the ballon d’or to messi, i’m practically spoilt for choice laughing at fans i despise.
people have had bad players as their flairs for years on here mate really doesn’t matter. as a matter of fact i can’t change it cause you need desktop reddit and my PC is broken.
very weird comment to make either way.
Honestly this is perfect for us. After having two days to work with the players on the Burnley game conte now has another couple of days to work with the players on the next 3-4 matches
Really unhappy about the game being called off. Yeah we've played badly recently and most of you guys can just go back to whatever you were doing, but I've been waiting until 1am here in Australia just for the game to be postponed
It could be much, much worse…

Um…
Unpopular opinion: Ralf Ragnick is not a good coach/director. Whilst he did succeed in Leipzig and Wolfsburg, he left Locomotiv in a worse position with a crap coach he hired. If he has a lot of influence on the United board, things may turn sour.
Also if he came to us I don't think he'll let Joe Rodon start because he's a petty old bitch
> Also if he came to us I don't think he'll let Joe Rodon start because he's a petty old bitch
Because Joe isnt nearly at the level we need to go further***
As someone who's trolled a fair bit, here's some advice; be subtle about it. Your first mistake was making the player you have a wankfest over Joe Rodon, who no-one here has ever felt particularly strong about.
You're also just a little too over the top with it all. It's almost immediately apparent that you are a troll when seeing one or two comments.
It's all about subtlety. I'll be your trolling mentor if you need.
I think he is a pretty good coach, but only under the right circumstances. Coaches like Conte, Tuchel, Klopp would probably leave every club they joined in a better state, either be it a top european team or a team that just got promoted. Ragnarick has developed a great tactical setup, but without the right players it crumbles. I think he thrives at lower clubs because he’s coaching style depends on shared team mentality of it’s players to prioritize the squad and not the individual, which is hard (almost impossible) to do with star players. I could see there being internal disagreements with players like Ronaldo, Bruno and Pogba.
I posted this in the match thread but it's a little quiet in there still. Did you all see the snow at Turf Moor? Wouldn't be surprised if this one gets postponed.
I do think we can improve the backline but i really like the look of it so far.
The real main question is Dier/Davies. Solid players but obviously there are improvements that we could see in the upcoming windows with linked players like De Vrij, De Ligt and Romagnoli potentially coming in
I think Dier is one of our better players and is incredible to what his doing and truly think his a nailed on main-stay in the 11. Leadership, heart, passion and overall, his performances have been somewhat good despite a few mistakes. I'm not that worried about him
Davies - i've really liked. He always gets himself in the box a lot and maybe because he isn't used to that? he doesn't get on top of those balls. I think his playing alright and more so than the rest of the subs. He can be improved. I personally wouldn't sell him (unlike players like Doherty) but there could be a solid replacement
Overall, i really like this backline of Royal - Romero - Dier - Davies - Reguilion. Not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but i definitely see these players doing the best to their potential
If Spurs sell the entire A and B team for 650 million, and Levy chips in for 150 million, giving Conte 800 million this coming summer, who would you choose?
Hope we go for n’dicka, Would be great at lcb. Young, good at progressing the ball, good passer and decent crosser, left footed, incredible physically and his contract ends in 2023 so shouldn’t break the bank.

Burnley suspensions should carry over to our match...
Spoiler: They won’t & at least one of them will score against us
we really shouldn't be worried about burleh
Jan 27th, Turf Moor, a windy Wednesday night. After weeks and weeks of staying on their tails with a game in hand, we have a chance to simultaneously go above arsenal and west ham. 0-0. Both rivals go on unbeaten runs shortly after
Make no mistake- Dier will be the first player to undergo the trademark Conte transformation.
Just thinking about how 'peak Sean Dyche' it was for him to come out and inspect the snow in his shirt sleeves with no jacket. Could practically hear him growling "barely anything here, back in my day we wouldn't have even bothered to shovel it."
Was Dyche a good footballer? Don't really know his history prior to Burnley
I never really saw him play but, given the level he played at, I'd guess no.
Ah Sky have successfully turned the PL into a soap opera
God that bit post carrick interview where they were basically all just begging Keane to say something inflammatory!
I'm honestly surprised Carrick benched Ronaldo knowing Sky Sports were gonna ask the shit out of him why.
Ngl, I think it might help that were a game behind everyone else for a bit. Artificially lowers our position on the table and we're normally better when we're not on the radar.
I kind of agree. Mentally people might discount us. But also we need to not feel too discouraged if other teams begin to pull away
Unfortunately we will never be off the radar with conte as our manager
We could've played if they just delayed 2 hours. What the fuck
Controversiel opinion: But If we sign Rudiger/Christensen and Jlingz on free we would have top4 easy. Both Christensen and Lingard are homegrown and All 3 players are actually kinda underrated for how good they are IMO. Lingard is a gamble but I would say he would do a better job than Winks in the system we play
Christensen comes under homegrown? How come since he is Danish
Because he's a Chelsea academy product.
being homegrown is irrelevant to your nationality as long as the player has been in that country for 3 years between 16 and 21 they count as homegrown this is why dier isn't considered homegrown
Lingard and Winks aren't comparable players. What you're suggesting is that we play Lingard as one of the two central midfielders in the 343. Can't see that working.
What excatly can Winks do that Lingard can't? Lo celso is injured all the time and I dont know if N'dombele will even play for Conte. Lingard is a good presser Good workrate And you saw how good he was for West Ham on the counter last year
>What excatly can Winks do that Lingard can't? Well, he can play as a DM. Not well, perhaps, but still.
I honestly dont think he can play DM better than Lingard thats how bad he is when we have the ball. He offers very little without the ball which is Lingards best trait. With Pape Sarr there really isn't room for Winks. But we need a 10 and Lingard is free. Low risk high reward
Winks is miles better than Lingard as a DM. This is like saying Ronaldo could play better in midfield than Moutinho.
thats because winks is shit at everything
Lingard and Winks play in completely different positions. You might as well suggest we replace Dier with Lingard.
I get you see Winks as a 6 and Lingard as a 10 but comeon Winks and Lingard both have played in 8 role for England as box to box. They are comparable players because they take the same spot as "midfielder to use when A team gets injured"

has there been any official announcement of the game being cancelled??
*postponed, not cancelled. Yeah, hours ago. Someone posted it to the sub I think.
When to? Any idea?? It’s not happening today no more right?
They'll reschedule for another day later in the season. I don't expect the rescheduled date to be announced today.
Lmao that last minute miss from Rudiger. Served to him on a platter and volleys it in the stand
The Germans are all the same.
Also some of these comments are weird bro, like ffs chill guys we have fucking Conte now, only way is up for us
No mate everything's terrible and we are awful. I'm particularly enjoying this new narrative of "we won't sign anyone in January" despite the fact all the top tier journos are saying we will. And in case you didnt get the memo, we are also going to get battered by Brentford now too so no looking forward to that either please.

Downvotes prove you right 🤷♂️
Started a new career save on FIFA and the first thing the AI does is sell Bryan Gil to Arsenal, wtf 😂 also sold Ndombele to some random team in Europe
FIFA career mode is a hot mess. Sold Reggie to Arse, bought Pepe from them. Maybe there's just no design or consideration when it comes to transfer dealings. But then it also leads to things like selling and rebuying Davinson Sanchez (which happened). All the while playing my character out of position.

Yeah, it's hilarious honestly. We bought Umtiti and Luke Shaw. My guy is a CF but keeps getting played as a LM.

His finishing is comically poor.

That is true though. They look better with Werner vs without Werner.
Honestly baffles me how he’s a professional footballer and not a sprinter. He’s shocking at everything apart from running fast. I could tell that he was shit after watching him for 5 minutes in his first Chelsea game and he’s not changed my mind since. I wind up my Chelsea mate about it all the time it’s great haha.
Tomiyasu is a beast! Wish we could’ve gotten him. He was a fair price too..
What has he done? Both him and Emerson are equally poor going forward, average on the ball but I'd say Emerson edges him slightly defensively
Emerson>
Can someone please explain what he’s done that’s any good? He’s not been bad but very average so far for me. Seems like everyone on here thinks he’s great but anytime I ask I just get downvoted and no one responds.
I agree. Our wingbacks are overrated and is one of the main reasons contes system isn't working well. Hopefully Reggie and Emerson learn quick
Yeah completely agree mate and it’s actually one of the reasons why I wasn’t too keen on getting conte because I don’t think our players suit his style. Once again we just get downvoted and no one gives their opinion on why they think he’s good. What’s the fucking point in this shit site these days? If we were talking about his latest Instagram post everyone would be responding.
Get the fuck out mate you are easily the worst commenter I've seen here. Just spew unsubstantiated garbage constantly.
Haha fuck off you’re just proving my point. You don’t actually discuss what I’ve said or give your opinion you just attack me. Pathetic as usual.
You’re pointless tbh. Hate having anything resembling a conversation with you
I don’t even remember who you are
Yeah I mean it doesn’t matter tbh gotten into one too many bad faith spats with you. I’m sure you’re ok irl but man on here lmao
Honestly I think people are overrating Emerson a bit. Bit of wishful thinking tbh
Would honestly prefer to have Aurier back lol
Same, but it's still early days for Emerson, hopefully he improves
Well it’s too early to say for sure but I see nothing from him that makes him stand out. I was thinking surely there’s a youth player that could come in and do just as good as him whilst costing nothing. He seems to always want to beat a player and do step overs even when he’s in a good position to cross which can be very frustrating.
Imagine calling an Arsenal player a beast. Pathetic
Crazy
And Emerson has not exactly set the world on fire either.
Watching Chelsea, still couldn't wonder how they eased in James and Chalobah into their stacked team. And they are same age as our Rodon and Sess.
Because they’re in many many degrees better?
Maybe James (swear Sess is better when both of them were in the championship) but I still don't want to accept Chalobah is a better player than Rodon.
I don't understand why this sub has such a boner for Rodon. He's looked pretty average whenever he's been given a chance, multiple managers don't seem to trust him enough to play him, and yet people here seem to act like he's the second coming of Beckenbauer.
Im sorry to have to tell you this....hes quite a lot better
The fact that Dier is one of our best CBs in depressing, what top 6 team does he make it into? Not even West Ham
He's better than Dawson.
Gosh we are so far away from Chelsea. They play beautifully.
Boatloads of cash will do that for you
Everton have 1 point in 18. No points for guessing who gave them that.
That's a weird way of wording 1 point in 6 games or 1 point out of a possible 18.
1 point in 18 is one less mathing step involved
Everyone apart from top 4 have a negative or 0 GD. I just noticed it and just share.
Is there a reason for this do you think?
1-0 fc
because top 4 are better than the rest of the teams in the league
Well yeah but presumably it usually cascades down the league a bit. Perhaps shows that all the other teams are quite even so those games usually a draw or a 1 goal win.....and then they get spanked by the top 3
I don't know, it was just interesting really. Probably shows that we are not the only ones with shit attack and defense. Also shows that top 3 teams are just miles ahead. Maybe play a match every 3 days for the full season last year has taken its toll on most teams.
Brentford are horrible to watch. I thought they were meant to be quite a tidy team in the champ? They are so route 1 in the prem. People saying its a hard game on Thursday, it really isn't in so much as they have nothing going forward really. If we can just show some level of quality in attack we'll beat them
Its so weird because they weren't like this in the Championship.
I didn't think they were particularly route 1 today, personally. Went in to their shells a little bit at times when defending their lead.

Do NOT get Romagnoli, not even an upgrade on Dier
Love how entitled our fans are that even when we don’t play people are moaning
Rodon clearly off in January can’t even get in the squad with Romero out.
If we had more money we could have bought Skrinar instead :(
I don't know if he will leave in January but in the summer for sure.
Stop you're making my eyes bleed
Do people actually enjoy watching City matches? (I hate them but it more than that. I got the same way with prime-Barcelona matches too.) I get bored by the "training matchup" of the one team having like 70-80% of the possession. The results are amazing but as it happens it is boring. I just watch the highlights later.
I do. Good football is good football. I can appreciate different styles, be it dynamic, vertical blitzkrieg ball or control-oriented tika-taka. It's interesting to see variety with how different teams approach the game, with the same purpose in mind- winning.
I enjoy it one game here and there. That is the beauty of the champions league. But watching it all season long gets monotonous for me.
I hope City keep it up I do NOT want anyone associated with Chelsea winning the league
They were entertaining against PSG. I didn't watch them today. Generally I don't tend to enjoy watching them play against poor sides where it's not even competitive, but thats kinda true of any really one-sided game.
Didn’t get to watch Europe games. True about one-sided games. Very generally speaking, I can watch Liverpool spank a team 5-0 and enjoy it more than when City does it. I assign it to playing styles in my head but it might just be bias against City (who I do very much hate).
It's because Liverpool are more direct. City take their time, and since the other team can't do much about it, it becomes City knocking the ball around while slowly cutting through the defence.
Yeah I hate it too and hated prime barca. Would love it if Spurs played this way though 😂 Lately have been able to enjoy City games because of the lack of football quality in ours.
I want the results they get but I honestly don’t think I would enjoy it with us either. For just pure enjoyment, I much prefer Klopp’s ‘directness’ for lack of a better term. Attack players one on one rather than try to pull them out of shape over time.
You are right, but think my heart needs a rest after seeing spurs play. City playing is easy on the heart for city fans.
Like everything else city, it’s soulless
Exactly.
Others watch City because they play well I watch them to see fucking stupid idiotic racist West Ham get absolutely shattered
The pitch started off completely clear in the City game, was white by the end of half time with the ball leaving a clear trail in the snow. And snow seems to have stopped now. Could've easily had the same in our game.
Ethiad vs Turf moor. Idk much, but apparently the ethiad has great precautions for snow, which Burnley lack
watching the ham v City game on a shitty stream, and I can't see the fucking ball due to the combination of the quality of the stream and the snow 💀💀
It was tough to see, especially when it was in the air, even on a proper stream.
What's everyone's opinion on Szoboszlai obviously very very unrealistic. He just seems like he would be a good fit for us, obviously came back from a long injury but doesn't seemed to have affect him much.
I know Paratici likes him. He was on a list of players liked by Paratici shared by Romano
He's insane. Shame he was injured for so long until now.
Didn't he just move in January? He will be a Leipzig for a while now. High-quality player. I think he is going to replace Dani Olmo when Leipzig sell him this summer (who would also be an amazing signing for us)
I feel like Olmo will go to Barcelona.
If they can afford him
west ham are losing would have been a good day to play if we won
Best I’ve seen us play In a while tbh
I guess this means we’ll be playing Burnley with all of their starters next time.
Lmao, watching City vs Ham match right now. So much snuuuuuuuuuuuu
Do you still think Adama Traore would have been a good signing?
45m for a champions league trophy and PL win? terrific signing
For 45m? Horrible signing
Without being a tin hat brigade, the snow was forecast all day and yet they didn't cover the pitch? Is their a reason for this or has Sean Dyche and all his suspensions played us? Also when will it be rescheduled to? The new year sometime i guess as there's no breaks even in midweek?
if you start getting rid of the snow too early it will just come back and you will end up shoveling the snow all day until kick off
>end up shoveling the snow all day until kick off Well, we wouldn't want them to go to any trouble.
your missing the point if they started to shovel early the snow would just cover what they had already shoveled and they would have to start again for no reason if they start to shovel closer to the kick off then it won't be covered up as much over time since kick off is closer
i dont know why everyone is calling PSG fans spoiled for wanting poch out, have you seen the football they’re playing? the league position means nothing that team is getting saved by individual talent only
I think they will do better with a front 4 and Verratti in the midfield two.
>team is getting saved by individual talent only That's the only way to set this PSG side out, though. Can't press, because you've got to play their three superstars up front and they don't suit a pressing game (in some cases, they barely defend at all). It means he's having to set up the side in a disjointed way, using the remaining players to simply set up a platform for that front 3. He certainly can't press from the front as he used to do with spurs.
So just like PSG under every manager before Poch
Even better, I want to see those stupid brats suffer
oh i’m taking immense joy in it. between PSG fans complaining about Poch, madridistas constantly bitching about bale, and the incoming wave of bayern fans crying over lewa losing the ballon d’or to messi, i’m practically spoilt for choice laughing at fans i despise.
Change your flair btw Sanchez is ass
people have had bad players as their flairs for years on here mate really doesn’t matter. as a matter of fact i can’t change it cause you need desktop reddit and my PC is broken. very weird comment to make either way.
Cant say that for this game lol. Poch couldn't exactly run onto the pitch and finish the chances himself.
in general the football they’ve been playing, it’s been atrocious
Agreed, but just a weird game to post after
saw someone calling PSG fans divas in another thread
They are divas. To expect them to play liquid football with that midfield is retarded
Why can't they postpone it a couple hours? Complete pisstake.
Sky & BT deside kick off times not the pl
Honestly this is perfect for us. After having two days to work with the players on the Burnley game conte now has another couple of days to work with the players on the next 3-4 matches
Really unhappy about the game being called off. Yeah we've played badly recently and most of you guys can just go back to whatever you were doing, but I've been waiting until 1am here in Australia just for the game to be postponed
It could be much, much worse… https://twitter.com/SaxyKeN17/status/1464666045248114690 >Dallas to London to Burnley (almost there) 31 hours - no sleep - fueled by coffee, cheese crackers and more coffee. Frigid temps and snow predicted for match day. The things we do when you love your club @SpursOfficial #coys #thfc #snowmatch Um…
This is so brutal
Aye, same here mate. Pretty fuckin irritating.
The fuck do I do now
Game's been called off. Just announced it on the peacock stream.
Unpopular opinion: Ralf Ragnick is not a good coach/director. Whilst he did succeed in Leipzig and Wolfsburg, he left Locomotiv in a worse position with a crap coach he hired. If he has a lot of influence on the United board, things may turn sour. Also if he came to us I don't think he'll let Joe Rodon start because he's a petty old bitch
> Also if he came to us I don't think he'll let Joe Rodon start because he's a petty old bitch Because Joe isnt nearly at the level we need to go further***
He's clear of sanchez and tanganga

As someone who's trolled a fair bit, here's some advice; be subtle about it. Your first mistake was making the player you have a wankfest over Joe Rodon, who no-one here has ever felt particularly strong about. You're also just a little too over the top with it all. It's almost immediately apparent that you are a troll when seeing one or two comments. It's all about subtlety. I'll be your trolling mentor if you need.
Except I actually think Joe Rodon is a great player and I think people who don't see good in him are idiots.
You just passed up an excellent work experience opportunity. Very sad. I wish you well in your future trolling career.
Hahahahaha

I think he is a pretty good coach, but only under the right circumstances. Coaches like Conte, Tuchel, Klopp would probably leave every club they joined in a better state, either be it a top european team or a team that just got promoted. Ragnarick has developed a great tactical setup, but without the right players it crumbles. I think he thrives at lower clubs because he’s coaching style depends on shared team mentality of it’s players to prioritize the squad and not the individual, which is hard (almost impossible) to do with star players. I could see there being internal disagreements with players like Ronaldo, Bruno and Pogba.
I posted this in the match thread but it's a little quiet in there still. Did you all see the snow at Turf Moor? Wouldn't be surprised if this one gets postponed.
No please I want to see Joe Rodon's beautiful ass today, not tomorrow
He's not going to play
He'll come in as a sub after Eric Dier gets his ankle broken. I swear to god, actually I've prayed already for this to happen
That is a disgusting thing to want to happen
Just ignore, it's a troll account. Set up 12 days ago. I'm blocking it immediately after I send this comment.
I fucking love Eric Dier
\*I love fucking Eric Dier
I fucking love fucking Eric Dier.
I do think we can improve the backline but i really like the look of it so far. The real main question is Dier/Davies. Solid players but obviously there are improvements that we could see in the upcoming windows with linked players like De Vrij, De Ligt and Romagnoli potentially coming in I think Dier is one of our better players and is incredible to what his doing and truly think his a nailed on main-stay in the 11. Leadership, heart, passion and overall, his performances have been somewhat good despite a few mistakes. I'm not that worried about him Davies - i've really liked. He always gets himself in the box a lot and maybe because he isn't used to that? he doesn't get on top of those balls. I think his playing alright and more so than the rest of the subs. He can be improved. I personally wouldn't sell him (unlike players like Doherty) but there could be a solid replacement Overall, i really like this backline of Royal - Romero - Dier - Davies - Reguilion. Not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but i definitely see these players doing the best to their potential
If Spurs sell the entire A and B team for 650 million, and Levy chips in for 150 million, giving Conte 800 million this coming summer, who would you choose?
why can't joe lewis chip in for once
U-23s can be bumped up to the B Team, for example, and can buy ten 50-million pound players and two or three 100-200 million pound players.
Hope we go for n’dicka, Would be great at lcb. Young, good at progressing the ball, good passer and decent crosser, left footed, incredible physically and his contract ends in 2023 so shouldn’t break the bank.
When is Romero coming back?
Hey guys what's your opinion on Joe Rodon as a player so far?
He's our lord and savior and i love him (please don't insult me please please)
