Football The 2013 / 2014 Season Thread

It's scary how bad it looks at the moment.

You spelled hilarious wrong.

 

[Calaen]

Haha, read today that Zaha isn't in the squad because he's been slipping Moyes daughter one. Can't understand why he hasn't been given a run out.

 

[caLLous]

I saw that, it was VERY rumoury but his daughter is VERY lovely so it's believable.

 

[Calaen]

Two very good goals, he's the only one that's looked capable as well.

Big Oscar.

Not enjoying us constantly punting up to Ba though. ;/

 

[Billargh]

I feel dirty supporting Chelsea, but I really want Ba to get an IF card on FUT, so go Chelsea!

 

[caLLous]

*grumble* That was fucking lovely from Willian. *grumble*

Norwich messed up for the 2nd though, looked like they might nick all 3 points before that.

 

[miri]

Not bad Willian. Not bad at all.

Disappointing performance overall though. First half spent hoofing it to Ba, second playing it across the penalty area with no incisiveness at all. Willian and Hazard really improved us though.

 

[caLLous]

*grumble*

But also, van der Vaart scored a bit of a beauty...



*yay*

I am a bit worried that Arteta has just walked back into the team and rather than dropping Flamini he has moved Ramsey out to the wing. potentially messing with his white hot form and the partnership he has with Ozil.

Drop Flamini? He'd be mad to do that.

Wilshere has been shit.

 

[soze]

Drop Flamini? He'd be mad to do that.

Wilshere has been shit.

He has been playing as a winger no in the middle I have no doubt Arteta would look like shit on the wing too. And Arteta was our DM all last season currently to fit him and Flamini in means moving Ramsey to the wing and we have not looked good today at all

 

[caLLous]

The fuck.

 

[Embattle]

I though West Ham were suppose to be the team without a striker

 

[MrBic]

I like these results.. wish wba would get a win tho

 

[soze]

A win there with Spuds losing would have been epic. I would love to know how that game turns out with Arteta on the bench and Ramsey through the middle

 

[caLLous]

Oh my days, that was fucking shocking. It looked like we turned up expecting 3 points and then couldn't be bothered. West Ham play such fucking depressing football as well.

At least Arsenal didn't win though.

 

[Calaen]

Flamini has been superb for arsenal, he is exactly what Arsenal have missed for years. He's always talking and communicating to the other players. I'd of left Arteta out.

 

[Aoami]

trolling the PL LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

cant wait for callous to stfu for 5 minutes

I agree with leaving Arteta out i really do not know what Arteta in the middle and Ramsey on the wing offered over Ramsey in the middle and Gnabry on the wing. Ramsey bang on form and Gnabry finding form. Or Arteta bought back with about 100 minutes of football this season.

Flamini has been ok i don't get the hype, he goes forward too much for me I want to see him keep his discipline and sit in the hole.

Spurs look like they are suffering European hangover syndrome.

 

[rynnor]

Spurs look like they are suffering European hangover syndrome.

Could be - not sure though - I'm not too worried about a single result but I am getting worried about the trouble we have scoring at the moment - maybe too much rotation?

 

[Fizzlefry]

To me it seemed Spurs lost the tactical battle.

The midfield we're clustered leaving the defence vulnerable, they could probably have put Sandro to good use as a DM to provide some cover instead of dembele.
They failed to stretch the WH defence, playing with 2 inverted IF's clearly didn't work. Would have been interesting to see Townsend playing left wing and Lamela on the right instead.

Defoe as lone wolf never really worked, Soldado would have made more sense.

Well done by west ham though.

 

[DaGaffer]

Is it me or is this season's Premiership simply a battle to see who's marginally the least shit?

 

[caLLous]

It seems like West Ham scoring completely knocked us for 6 and we reacted very badly. I don't think we can blame fatigue because only 4 players played both matches. There was some shocking defending, some wasted opportunities going forward, wayward passes in midfield... here's hoping it serves as a wake-up call. Everybody seemed to be going into the match wondering how many we would win by, nobody was really considering that we'd not take 3 points (pundits mostly but our own fans as well). We're Spurs, after all, nothing should be taken for granted.

And sod off Aoami you're just jelly 'cos I beat you in the H2H this week.

 

[Aoami]

Definitely not jelly of spurs league position though lololol

great article about how shit Harry 'Triffic is.

 

[Everz]

Poyet in for PDC is a bizarre one.. both are culture changing managers with a similar ethos. My trip to the NE next season is certainly on!

 

[caLLous]

Fellaini out for 7 weeks with a wrist injury (ligament damage), Kompany out for 4 (thigh). I don't know if it was a coincidence but City really seemed to collapse defensively last time he was injured...

Gibbs has been called up to replace Cole, who has a rib injury.

It seems like there's been loads of injuries already this season.
