Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

[Bullens Rd]

I hope we've had our awful run for the season and it's now gone and out of the way. Not many good teams go through several runs of 4 defeats out of 5 in the same season. I think that's very optimistic though, but the table is so open. Leicester are considered to be playing amazingly and absolutely flying, yet if we can beat them we'll be a point behind.

Jermaine Jenas calling out Salah for diving too much. That’s the end of his career as a pundit.

Always liked him. More of that needed and refs will continue to ignore his theatrics

Yes but then he says its the right call on the pen. "even though VAR shows it could be given as a pen because he takes the man, I'm glad that the referee stuck with his original decision"

spurs v liverpool i imagine will play out similar to our game vs chelsea

There’ll be a pen for Salah and Spurs will get denied a few stonewall ones.

 

[Tubey]

Yeah Neymar injured in that

What a wimp, should have ran it off.

Real footballers back in the day would have.

What a weird season. Those Fulham and Burnley results puts our own games against them into a bit of a 'big picture' perspective really. Anyone can get a result again anyone currently it seems.. unless you're Sheff United like.

 

[ChesterBlue]

This wasn't

Wow... investigation into match fixing anyone?

Only if spurs turn up

Don’t see why they wouldn’t. Mourinho lives for putting a stick in Liverpool’s spokes.

He needs that motd2 money.

Cant have kopites going thru his twitter and finding something to goose him with

Before their game against Brighton, Leicester lost a couple of europa games and a couple of league games too, so they also had a bit of a mixed run in November. I think Everton can beat them, I hope we have the same setup against them as we did against Chelsea. The back 4 looked extremely solid.

I don't know why they're considered flying because they've lost to Fulham within the last couple weeks.

They were good today but Maddison hit a couple really good ones to make it look a bit more lopsided. That said our goalkeeping situation makes further out strikes a risk so that isn't so good for us.

Well yes every team can do it.

You probably do, but I think the gap is getting closer, with some mean regression for Everton too.

I think a bit distinguishing feature though, is you know how to win games. Lots of players in your squad have been in teams that gets 80+ points. It makes a big difference.

I did a man for man comparison after the Arsenal game for you guys (which I felt you won at a canter) and I'm not sure theres that much between the teams.

Alderweireld/Dier v Keane/Mina/Holgate.
Digne v Reguillion
Hojberg/Sissoko v Allan/Doucoure
James/Richarlinson/DCL V Kane/Son

Not a million miles of difference. Right back and goalkeeper I think there is. But you look advanced in the art of winning games.

LOL's at putting James in with Richarlison and DCL to try and make your attack seem as good as Kane and Son. It brings back the funny memories of the Spurs page a few months back and the many people saying that Richarlison and DCL are better.
