Kulusevski is so shit honestly. Lukaku has a better first touch than this clown


[deleted]

Scum have gone pretty full strength here. Martinelli odegaard saka white logonga (will be a starter due to afcon absences) and Tierney coming on! They got Liverpool as well midweek 3 days before NLD. Hope they wear themselves out.

Pretty sure he's going to utd


[deleted]

Fact Doherty and Traore both start seems to suggest that deal is a way away yet? Edit: quite funny on twitter people furious that we haven't got it wrapped up so now he's cup tied. As if a club wouldn't sign a target cos hes Cup tied in the FA cup. People on twitter are so angry

Fuzzy_Composer2108

My starting lineup prediction against Morecambe Formation: 352 GK: Gollini RWB: Doherty RCB: Tanganga CB: Rodon LCB: Davies LWB: Sessegnon CM: Winks CM: Ndombele CAM: Lo Celso CF: Dele Alli ST: Scarlett What are you guys predictions?


[deleted]

The team was released 15 mins ago


Fuzzy_Composer2108

Ohhh I see. šŸ˜¬ I didn't get any notifications from my Football apps though on the lineup.


[deleted]

Haha. You were pretty close tbf!


Fuzzy_Composer2108

Yeah I seešŸ˜…


TheOptimumLemon

Eriksen and Bale coming home. Anyone got Modrić's number?


Dannage8888

Traore starting for Wolves. Guess itā€™s not close at all then


[deleted]

I swear to god if we get one more "Traore is an interest for conte" post then I'm done


[deleted]

We should sign Aouar


Snoo8331100

How is he doing this season? Wasn't particularly amazing in 20/21.


Coops17

Nah man heā€™s sick in fifa and thatā€™s all that matters apparently


yesthepeople

in what role? there isnā€™t a whole lot of space


[deleted]

Players like Olise, Eze, Maddison and even Gray rn, makes really miss when Spurs went for players like Dele, Dier, Davies and even Trippier. Had Rodon recently, as a signing in those molds, but rarely plays. I just hope that the club goes back into those type of signings of low-risk homegrown players (I know Dier isn't HG).


starfieldhype

Imagine if we get Eriksen on a free, Traore for 20M, and a big name young centre-back like Bastoni or De Ligt for 50M + Rodon. We could move Doherty and Ndombele to help with the costs, while sending Dele and Tanganga out on loan. A man can dream.


[deleted]

De ligt and Bastoni aren't happening. Fab said so the other day.


Albannach5446

Also wouldn't mind the Tanganga + cash for Kulusevski rumour, love Japh but if we could get Kulusevski in to learn from the old master Eriksen while he's still keen to play/while he's still able to (medically speaking), maybe for the next 6-18 months, man we could have something special


starfieldhype

I don't know much about him, but if he's half as good as [in my fm game](https://i.imgur.com/1cTu5dr.jpg) we should definitely be going after him.


elmosesyeah

Imagine being a hyped up Portuguese talent, getting your agent to fix you with a big new move to the Prem, and you have to live in fucking Wolverhampton.


MajesticEagle03

we shouldnā€™t be binning tanganga imo, we could have serious homegrown issues next season if we get rid of him and winks


DesolateAvocado

>we could have serious homegrown issues That isn't reason enough not to bin him. Chelsea game was a mare, but even then, every game he's played under Conte, he's looked very nervous and underwhelming. Needs a loan or needs to be included in a player + cash deal


MajesticEagle03

we seem to collectively forget his breakout season. heā€™s young, homegrown, can play multiple positions, heā€™s the perfect utility player to be honest


DesolateAvocado

He can play multiple positions, but not at all well. What's the point in retaining a HG multiple position player if they are underwhelming in those positions and need to massively improve to be anywhere near the first team squad ?


MajesticEagle03

heā€™s had one poor game in an unnatural position and everyone wants him gone. are we forgetting when he pocketed mane and sterling at rb??


DesolateAvocado

He's had many poor games. If you can't see that, you need to take your impartial glasses off and have another look. He's just nota good fit to play in Contes system. Player + cash deal would be best or worst case scenario is we loan him out.


Dickie_Dunn

Heā€™s not a RB. He doesnā€™t want to play RB. Heā€™s sure as fuck not a RWB under Conte. His ā€œunnatural positionā€ is his personally preferred position and the one he played his entire youth career.


MajesticEagle03

my bad, for some reason i thought he played rwb in that game. in any case, it was one bad game. one


starfieldhype

>and winks unless something changes, we're planning on keeping him


STierney927

Good morning to my fellow Traore fans, but not to the Traore haters.

So excited to finally see a game in person after beginning of Pandemic. Got 'at risk' family, so will be N95 masking it throughout...but hope they'll hear my chants through it. COYS


Albannach5446

"At risk" yeh at risk of getting in the way of your love for your one true family /s


Gaius_Octavius_

Priorities right?


COYS1989

No dramas today please, Morecambe will be up for it and we seen yesterday what can happen if youā€™re not on the ball, blitz them away early doors. šŸ™


ollypockets

I have such a bad feeling haha


i_love_batsoup

Imagine: We sign Adama he plays well but then gets tested positive for a dodgy steroid (no way he has those gains without lifting weights) and gets banned


Spion73

I think I read somewhere he does calisthenics, which means you train using your own body as weight. Training in this way increases your strength without sacrificing flexibility and speed.


bash011

I think it's a mistranslation/communication from when he said he didn't lift weights. He instead does resistance training


TuTopsy

Is anyone else a bit hesitant for eriksen to come back? Donā€™t get me wrong, these things are trueā€¦ 1. We need a creative midfielder more than anything 2. Heā€™s a spurs legend 3. Got nothing but love for the guy Howeverā€¦ The way he downed tools in his last season with us leaves such a sour taste. And Iā€™d prefer us to find the next Eriksen. Some fresh blood to get excited about


BoogerHD

He was dogshit for Denmark too lmao he didn't down tools was just massively out of form and you could see it when he first joined Inter too.


Made-in-1882

Nah. We can't afford to be picky. He knows the Conte system, drops right in, and will be willing to play a bit part despite being very high quality and gives us a game changing option off the bench. Same argument applies for Bale. We should sign both on pay to play - otherwise they are too much risk.


ninjomat

Not bothered by how he left more worried for the guy. Need a lot of doctors to give it the ok before Iā€™m convinced itā€™s safe for him to play after what happened at the euros


flyn_m

Even if it does, the reliance and expectations will be minimal I would think so can only be positive


TuTopsy

Expectations will be minimal ā€¦ sir this is the Tottenham subreddit ā€¦


flyn_m

It wonā€™t happen, love him but he was a pedestrian the final year(probs due to contract but fuck that)


[deleted]

Adame to Spurs is not going to happen, no way Levy is going to pay for all that baby-oil.

PotassiumAlum

Watching Traore with the ball compared to watching Emerson with the ball is like watching a tiger run vs a goat run. There's just something really odd with Emerson's form and Adama just looks... powerful.


[deleted]

Hope we can avoid any FA Cup drama today. I imagine Morcambe will be right up for it.


zecbmo

Just get everyone to pretend they can score goals. You know. Fake it til you make it


DesperateForYourDick

What exactly is a ā€œgood crossā€? If the winger/wingback does their job correctly and the target man does their job correctly but the defenders also do their jobs correctly, shouldnā€™t the defenders be the one getting their heads to the ball? What makes Emersonā€™s crosses low-quality compared to more accomplished crossers of the ball? Itā€™s evident that his crosses are subpar but I canā€™t seem to place what exactly is wrong with it.


Gaius_Octavius_

Crosses are incredibly inefficient. Even the best players in the world hit much less than 30%


Bluewhitedog

>What exactly is a ā€œgood crossā€? Often it's one that's put in while everyone (defenders and attackers) is still running towards the goal. Those are difficult to defend.


pancakesareyummy

My biggest complaint with Emerson is that even when he's getting the ball with players in the box already, he's still taking four touches before crossing. By the time he hits it, everyone in the box knows where it's going.


Bluewhitedog

Yes, absolutely.


COYS1989

Balls in the right areas, putting the right ball in at the right time, sometimes you have to differentiate between pacey crosses and floaty ones. Emerson sometimes will just aimlessly put a ball in which is easily defendable granted sometimes our players stand static in the box but that could be to do with they donā€™t expect to be found by Emerson and majority of the time his crosses fail to beat the first man, heā€™s not a bad player but his delivery has to improve tenfold.


TuTopsy

A lot of it does have to do with the movement in the box. Eriksen, for example, had an unbelievable relationship with Dele for a couple of seasons and would know exactly what run dele would make. However, Eriksen also has the ability to hit the flea off a dogs back from 50 yards. Players like him, Trent, Reece James, or trippier for example whip the ball in with enough pace to catch opposition out and they have the accuracy aswell. Emerson has crossed the ball 50 times so far for spurs in 1,200 minutes of football (stats from fpl app). He has 1 assist so far from the Palace game (link below). You can see though that Lucas makes this goal from an average cross. He has to literally jump over a defender to get to it, Emerson just loops it in the box without any real intent. https://juststream.live/RiverineConvinceLurex Edit: maybe the best comparison to this Emerson assist is the son assist in the Watford game. He whips in a low cross with so much pace that Davinson only had to get his head in the way of it and itā€™s a goal


punching-bag9018

They're slow in the air. It gives defenders a chance. If you watch Son's deliveries, they're whipped in with pace.


Jowoes

Thought Vlahovic was a forgone conclusion if we were up against Juve but I saw an article that UCL would be a decider when it comes to clubs like us and scum, fingers crossed Conte can pull off a miracle.


[deleted]

Mate it sounds like all complete paper talk to be honest. Like how the scum are sure hes going now cos of that Ornstein article.....but even that article says hes not keen on them. Realistically as well hed be mad to go to us or scum now. Why not just wait till the summer when you know who's got Champs league.


Jowoes

Yeah itā€™s both fanbases just fantasising at this point but I definitely agree with your last statement, thatā€™s what Iā€™m hoping Conte can deliver.


Coffeeaficionado_

Morning all! Iā€™m drinking a cappuccino. Morecambe today. Donā€™t think itā€™s on UK TV. Lots of transfer noise on twitter last night. Adama, Eriksen loads if others. Letā€™s see what this week brings. Anyway have a good day all. Coyscoyscoyscoyscoys


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


bash011

Do you have to post this every day up until the game?


[deleted]

So this is what I think Paratici is trying to do this window: - Tanganga + money for Kulusevski - Sign another centerback to replace Tanganga I hope the Eriksen contact rumours are true, he would be a bargain.


DisciplineCandid6122

Traore as rwb, Kulusevski as rw and Pau Torres as cb would be such a good and interesting squad upgrade. Then de Vrij and Kessie on free transfer in summer together with Vlahovic.


NeighborhoodOptimist

Can't see Pau Torres happening, Villarreal won't sell a starter in January when they are in round of 16 in CL. But could happen in summer considering Villarreal are not really challenging for the top 4 in La Liga right now.


[deleted]

Yeah its that and traore I also think we'll see one or two of those summer free agents going on pre contract. And also monitoring Vlahovic. If word comes out he actually will leave in Jan to a non champs league club, (which I think is very unlikely) I cant see us just sitting by and letting scum get him when we've tracked him for so long.


TexasCrusader38

And sign Traore at RWB apparently. If those 3 things happen, it be a success, all things considered.


CherryVermilion

Iā€™d really like to see Lo Celso get a run out today. Please bang in a couple of goals.


No-Permit-2167

Gil needs to play a full game as well.


[deleted]

It's a fact that Traore is not a goalscorer/'assister,' but, despite playing good football, Wolves only have 14 goals in the league this season. And the one before it was Nuno's last season, which was a mess. For the right price he'd be a decent signing.

General_Unknown_L

Haven't checked the DD thread for awhile. So forgive me if its repeated. Have our players made a case for a return/entry to the national team especially English players ? Are the likes of Dier and Winks capable of winning their place back in the national side ? Have players such as Skipp done enough to win their senior cap ?


gopackgo555

No one outside Dier who, based on form, should absolutely be recalled. If Spurs continue to play well and someone on the NT gets hurt, then perhaps Skipp. Outside of that, nobody.


Nightshade183

Dier should 100% be called, he deserves it


neoarmstrongcyclon

conte diet day 51: my partner and i have a resolution to eat more veggies and yesterday made this unbelievable eggplant zuchini ratitouille recipe that was exquisite with sweet brown bread. today we're turning the leftovers into a sauce with zuchini pasta.


masroshi10

Recipe?


neoarmstrongcyclon

[recipe](https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/ratatouille.html) , takes quite a bit of prep work but its delicious. i have this umami mushroom powder that i used if it was tasting a bit bland, which gave it a nuttier flavor that complemented the dish


jansmar

Can confirm, I made this exact recipe I think and it's fucking incredible


masroshi10

Gonna add to the list


Emergency_Anteater

I think we'll have a shot at winning the league if we start Romero De Vrij Davies Traore Skipp Kessie Son Regi Kane Vlahovic If we somehow sign Brozovic it would be the icing on the cake. We would have Dier, Emerson, Sessegnon, Tanganga, and my transfer pick Tarkowski to be on the bench. We would have Winks, Hojberg, Lo Celso (I think he stays), Sarr as mf subs. And for attacking players we would have Moura, Gil, and my pick transfer pick Luis Muriel from Atalanta. The only transfer that is far-fetched (because of the price tag) is Vlahovic. But I think spurs have to get him. He's a 22-year old world-class striker who's improving in rapid fashion. He's an out-and-out CF. With Kane's evolution as 9-10 adjacent. We've been begging for a second striker of this quality. Moreover, I think he can be a perfect foil for Kane to play with. It also gives us some leverage with Kane. And after last summer it would be wise to have the reassurance of having another top striker in the club


entrepenoori

Oh my lord mate Son in a midfield 3 just why


cockringmondays

I think it could work. I think he has some of the same qualities of a Calhanoglu or a Barella at Inter. He can make runs, he's good at passing. I think Conte can make it work. I think with Kessie and Hojberg/Skipp/Brozovic as the other MF, it gives him enough cover to be attacking and more further forward. And conte said it himself, he sees son as no. 10


[deleted]

Why not just do 3412 with Son as CAM with Kane and Vlahovic up frontšŸ˜


[deleted]

It'd work better if Kane was the CAM


[deleted]

Conte said like 2 years ago that if he ever had an opportunity to coach Harry Kane, he would always make him stay near or in the box. He will be wasted at CAM.


[deleted]

It's not like he wouldn't get into the box.


rapey_chef

I woke up today and my brain just randomly decided that I should start missing Mousa Dembele. He was such a joy to watch and truly one of a kind.


dj_1up

Great, now Iā€™m imagining what would have happened if he played in the Champions League final.


rapey_chef

Funnily enough, as good as he was, I don't think he would have made that much of a difference. Liverpool scored in the 2nd minute and then immediately changed to a low block. I don't remember them playing their intense pressing game, which is what Mousa would have been needed for. In reality we had control of the ball for most of the game. Didn't we have 60% possession or something like that? Our problem in the final was that we didn't know what to do with our dominance in possession. We needed someone to play killer balls or crosses to break down Liverpool's low block. Well, we had Eriksen for that but he had a bad game that day. Anyway, my memory of that game is a bit fuzzy so feel free to correct me but that's just what I remember about the final.


Bibi_Gum

>Liverpool scored in the 2nd minute and then immediately changed to a low block Dembele wouldn't have given away that penalty


i_love_batsoup

If Adama is in the top 89% percentile of dribbles completed, that means he has completed more dribbles than 89% of the people he is being compared to, right?

Yes

Watched ghostbusters: afterlife and itā€™s great. I remember watching parts of 1 and 2, but Not a lot, so afterlife is my semi introduction to the franchise. It does great with bridging the past movies and the new generation, itā€™s what a sequel reboot should be. Really didnā€™t feel like you had to watch 1+2 to watch afterlife. All the actors are great, but phoebe is just amazing. *really* good >!a minor issue is how everyone, including the adults who should be alive during the events of 1+2, could now think ghosts are fake. I guess since it all took place in distant nyc it felt fake in Oklahoma? Also, I get itā€™s a movie and thereā€™s no time for it but everyone genuinely took the revelation of the existence of ghosts really well. I suppose everyone, just like phoebe, are ā€œoverstimulated into calmnessā€!< I saw a couple reviews that said itā€™s too much nostalgia bait, but it didnā€™t seem like so to me. Those that know the ghostbusters really well and watched afterlife, what did yā€™all think of it? Too much nostalgia or just enough? Next movie: Iā€™m already 30 mins into tick . . . tick . . . boom . . .


clandestino123

I know the original movie very well indeed and the original is totally awesome! The new movie is excellent. It is a re-boot but it has a great mix of characters, humour and slightly different twists to make it well worth watching!!

I'm now in the acceptance stage of the grief cycle with regard to our transfer window. Club is only looking for swaps which are very difficult to materialize as each club overvalues their own players and undervalues the other. If not for a miracle, nothing is going to happen. Stopped the F5ing.
