The Footie Thread

We don't get to see many bullet headers like that any more. I'm feeling quite nostalgic ?.

Great cross, great header.

It’s because so many teams play with no CF or a 5’6” striker good in their own way but I do like a proper 6’2”CF who can finish.
Not many about though.
Richarlison though has it all for a quality striker he just dosnt show it enough for me, good player though.

Hope James stays fit .. looks a good addition to the league

 

[Lord Tyrion]

When he, Richarlison, is on he is very very good. Some days his attitude is just off though. That may be his demeanour but I agree, he needs greater consistency. The upside for us is that he has progressed each season with us and this year he has better players around him

 

[Dan2501]

Brilliant performance that. Love the way we set-up in midfield, thought Doucoure and Allan were brilliant in there at breaking up the play. All 3 signings looked excellent - thought James was superb, exactly what we've been missing going forward. Constantly looking for a forward pass, just pure class on the ball, going to be fun watching him this year if he stays fit. A win and a clean sheet away at Spurs, can't ask for a better start than that.

 

[Piece]

Jeez. Spurs were made to look rank and pedestrian. Everton lively and easy, easy winners. Thats the Doucoure I remember!

 

[Dan2501]

Also, he gets a lot of hate, but shout-out to Jordan Pickford, he was class today.

 

[Fish]

My day just got better after seeing the Everton result ?

Good day on the golf course and Spurs lose at home, it’s a blue day ?

 

[arnieboy]

Same old Spurs, where was the effort, imagination and pace?

In terms of the last two, you know Jose wouldn’t want such things in his team.

 

[PJ87]

Spurs have gone from Rose to Davies

Sold Dembele didn’t replace him

Sold most creative mid in the league in Eriksen, didn’t replace him

Haven’t bought a striker in 3 years

Levy has absolutely xx Spurs, whilst putting them in 500m if debt with the stadium

Get him out

I guess all that is true (from twitter)

Surely Kane must see now he has to leave this transfer window if he ever wants to win things.... Spurs are going backwards and I believe they've had their 5 minutes in the spotlight.

Totally outplayed by Arsenal yesterday and it was even worse watching back the full match. I still think Arsenal are about three top players from being a side that can compete successfully for the PL and in Europe and I still feel they have their old tendency to lose or draw at much lower sides but think Arteta has them forward. As for the other North London side you can see Mourinho doing what he has done at so many clubs and suck all the potential and hunger from the players.

Arguably more than 3 albeit got quite a few missing at the moment, at least there appears to be a structure a team ethos and some willingness to at least try and defend (as a team) now. Couple of good debuts and hopefully Saliba and at least 1 more midfielder to follow. Thoughts Ceballos looked excellent when he came on too, expect we see far better of him this season. Assuming Aubam signs we still need 1 if not 2 more midfielders and a back up keeper before the window shuts but a lot will depend as much on exits as new signings as there still a lot of excess (bodies and salary) that needs to be moved on if at all possible

Few encouraging signs for your lot, not helped by Mitrovic being on the bench, going to be a long season battle you'd think though

I agree. Given how Leeds frightened Liverpool last night they'll be massively up for it in their first home game (naturally against Fulham). To be honest as long as we can compete in the mini league of Southampton, WBA, Palace, Villa, Brighton and perhaps a couple of others then we've a chance.

I’d be surprised to see Saints in the same bubble as yourselves tbh.

I think the newly promoted teams will all be there alongside villa, palace, Brighton and West Ham.

Just the 14 yellows and 5 reds (3 straight reds) in the Marseille v PSG game tonight (including a red for Neymar)

Neymar claiming racist abuse at him was the cause
