GWT: EPL - Matchweek 36 (ft. MW 26)

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Just off Chelsea you'd have to take Nkunku over Jackson as well

nkunku, like alvarez, not being contemplated as strikers in my mind because they play deeper

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Romero has been fantastic these past few games. Sadly others let him down.

 

[hatterson]

Emerson sucked on the left, anyone we could bring on to play there? Maybe switch van de ven to the left and put Drăgușin in? He's got the speed to play the flank and his offensive output can't be worse than what Emerson offered.


He didn't do it to the goalkeeper in the protection area, I see nothing wrong with that.

By rule there's no protection area, although in practice referees often give it that way.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Spurs starting the half hot.

 

[hatterson]

Someone should really call the police to find the sniper in the stands that just took out Cucurella

he's on a rampage, just got Son too

Noni put that on a plate, Cole's gone cold

That was an obvious foul, you lot are just lucky it wasn't in the box.

Still zero shots on goal, Maddison still on the bench. Bissouma has also been dreadful today and we really don't need the skillset of both him and Sarr in a game we have to win to keep even hypothetical chances for the UCL. Ange strikes me as a naive coach.

I agree that Bissouma should come off. But Maddison has been terrible as of late.

 

[luiginb]

Even a terrible Maddison is still better than anyone else on the field today

Look at Johnson, being completely pocketed by freaking Cucurella

Have you seen Kulusevski today? Son, Porro and Richarlison the only ones with a pulse

 

[hatterson]

Really dumb foul by VDV there. Jackson was going nowhere and Spurs had numbers back.

It was offside so didn't matter, but I have zero idea why Johnson isn't hitting that on target.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

YOWZA

 

[bluesfan94]

Another set piece, another goal

 

[hatterson]

All part of Palmer's plan lol

 

[gary69]

That gives some leeway for Chelsea.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

i am genuinely not sure i have ever heard a crossbar that loud

 

[hatterson]

I love that two spurs could have challenged for that header but both decided to instead peel back towards the net so that Jackson didn't have any pressure on him at all.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

*sigh*

 

[hatterson]

lol Johnson. That was pretty brutal.

when you know you can't win a header against a top 5 striker you decide to protect the line

 

[luiginb]

lol Johnson. That was pretty brutal.

For what he cost, he's a pretty brutal player

 

[bluesfan94]

He didn't do it to the goalkeeper in the protection area, I see nothing wrong with that.

There's no law of the game that gives the goalie extra protection within the box.

It's funny how the transfer failed on basically every level.

Spurs paid a high price for a deeply mediocre player and Forest sold him too late to avoid getting a points deduction and it might cost them staying up this year.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

ouch ouch.

There's no law of the game that gives the goalie extra protection within the box.

football refereeing is a common law system and the judicial history of keepers getting extra protection is extensive

this was tongue in cheek before we get into it

 

[luiginb]

Fifth Beatle isn't going to help us either. Gil was too physically weak for La Liga, let alone Premier.

ouch ouch.

He's being intentionally thick, it's his shtick

The one making up rules might be the one who's thick.

What can I say, I'm a strict textualist.
