I love when players know they're offside but decide to shake their finger at the linesman anyway.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Phew.

 

[maclean]

Wow, guess I'm way behind lol

 

[Live in the Now]

Can’t give away the ball like that against Liverpool. Just can’t. Everything about that was great.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Shit

 

[maclean]

very nicely set up, very nicely executed, let the games begin

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Stop it with the giveaways jesus christ.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Less than three minutes in and Richarlison faking a head injury. Going to be one of them

I just saw the video, Van Dijk elbows him clean in the chin, of course he went down holding his head. "Going to be one of them"

Conor Bradley.

They are tussling for it and the defenders arm goes up, like it happens in every game, Richarlison holds his nose and starts rolling around. Get real.

Oh, c'mon. He swings. It's not a red, but he very unambiguously clocks him in the head. You posted like he took a torso-to-torso and went down clutching his forehead.

Bergvall and Tel in

 

[Savant]

Tottenham is completely incapable of parking the bus for any length of time. Ange has seemed to drill them over and over that they must play open and attack no matter the situation.

I just see preschool soccer where everyone just runs to the ball and hopes for the best. Even when it works out in their way, Tottenham have no idea where the ball is going. They are spraying and praying.

Oh, c'mon. He swings. It's not a red, but he very unambiguously clocks him in the head. You posted like he took a torso-to-torso and went down clutching his forehead.

He didn't touch his face. Richarison went down with his face in his hands and started doing barrel rolls. I am not having it. Its a nothing play that happens in every game

 

[Live in the Now]

Great save there.

 

[Jack Straw]

Well, here he is…

 

[Jussi]

I love when players know they're offside but decide to shake their finger at the linesman anyway.

It's like when the ball goes out of touch from them, yet they still try to claim a throw-in.

 

[Savant]

Great save there.

I thought he missed it and it hit the bar. The deflection also took all the hot sauce off of the shot.

Also no idea what he was doing punching the ball out for a corner there. Good thing for them we have no plan on attacking corner kicks

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Richarlison is nothing but a test dummy for the medical team.

Heat of the moment, you think that linesman must be a f***ing fool

I used to do the same in intramurals after very unambiguous fouls

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Gray and Spence have switched flanks it seems.

I would think it was more weird if we didn't do that in intramurals

I'm not watching this game (my DAZN is shared with a Spurs fan who I wanted to be sure wouldn't get booted mid-stream), so maybe it doesn't apply here, but anyway. Kinsky so far has seemed a lot better than Vicario at box-commanding with regards to actually getting to balls in traffic, but isn't confident in his actual handling so is punch-reliant. Just anecdotal from viewing, no stats to back up.

That sounds about right.

I look at Kinsky, I think he just looks better because he is moving more? Like he gives the appearances that he is doing stuff, but I feel a lot of it is just empty calories. Don't think he is efficient. Think its a bit of an adventure. He might be better than Vicario, but if he is, that is still a very low bar.

Very impressed by Ange tactics.
