Football The 2020/2021 Season Thread

[caLLous]

Group B is the one to watch tonight, all 4 teams could possibly still go through, Real Madrid have to win to advance.

 

[Aoami]

Klopps shit lineup ruining my accy

 

[Scouse]

Is @Scouse running the guardians live feed? FC Midtjylland v Liverpool: Champions League – live!

Just give him the fucking goal.

He was offside by, like, a heel.

Who gives a shit. Give him the goal anyway. It was the most tedious piece of shit ever - so I turned off.


Fuck VAR. It's fucking shit.

 

[Aoami]

How much of it being a tedious piece of shit was down to it being a dead rubber between a Danish side and the Liverpool reserves?

 

[Jupitus]

Any West Ham fans here? This games is far from the best I have seen Leeds play and I think Bielsa won't be happy, but quite entertaining

 

[caLLous]

You'd think Bielsa would work on defending set pieces...

 

[Jupitus]

I think we need to, to be honest. Quite fun to watch, but even if we weren't at our best we were outplayed tonight, no argument.

 

[Aoami]

Worst i've seen Leeds look since they've been back. West Ham played very well.

Yeah, I think that's true - but I think Moyes may have worked a system to flaw Bielsa. I am far from any analyst to be honest, so not very sure....

I quite like how Leeds have set up for the season, they aren't going to be doing much but they are playing attractive football and will stay up.

I dunno. I hope not, but we've seen plenty of teams play attractive football on promotion and look good for a while then fall apart second half of the season. On paper, they're not that good a side. However, Sheff United and Burnley looking absolutely atrocious... Definitely 3 worse sides than Leeds in the league.

 

[Gray]

I can't see how Sheff United have become so bad this season. Last season they did incredibly well but now they seem to have just exploded.

The only change I think they had to make was a differing goalkeeper since Man United didn't let him stay, so I can't see how that is beneficial for Henderson now.

With Everton's form of late we're seemingly becoming worse. Thank god it is only a few weeks until the transfer window but even then we can't keep relying on that.

 

[Embattle]

Time tends to shake the early surprise runners back to where they should be, although points wise it is still fairly tight overall.

Not rare to see a not particularly talented side have a good season seeing playing a strict system, and then getting found out. Look at their players, how many would realistically get in a top 10 side? Berge maybe? Same thing happening with Southampton this year, although hopefully we have the talent to last, with Ings back and the likes of JWP and Vestegaard looking awesome.

 

[Aoami]

This new handball rule is the real villain of the season.

 

[Aoami]

Theoooooooooooooo

He will be amazing one day, such a rising star!

Madness, Bilic did the very best and shot way above his weight with what he had available.

Yep, Joke of a sacking imo. Glad we will be seeing Big Sam again though.

 

[Raven]

Didnt realise that all games tonight are on Amazon Prime.

Turn it on, Andy fucking Townsend. Christ. Reminds me of the channel 5 days where I used to watch it live but have 5Live (I think it was) for sound.

 

[Jupitus]

Y'all should have watched Leeds, TBPFH!

 

[Raven]

Son is outstanding this season.

 

[Gray]

I haven't kept up to date on that Arsenal TV channel, not since DVD-Gate anyway. Are they all on Zoom now always raging about what a shit season they're having??

Two excellent wins for Everton, really hard fought defensively. Especially as the last two teams have been considered Top-6 contenders who we have always struggled against - Suppose we'll see how it holds up next time against Arsenal though! Hopefully Allan isn't out for too long, our injuries are growing slowly.

Leeds doing well again though I see!

You guys have made a very promising start mate... we desperately needed that win vs NEW as we seemed to be losing form and our grip... fingers crossed this stems the flow!

 

[Raven]

Touch of Maureen at the final whistle! Great game.

Fucking toothy cunt Firmino. A draw would've taken the edge off us losing points.

 

[Scouse]

Son is outstanding this season.

More than this season IMO.

 

[caLLous]

I would've also preferred a different result. Pleased with the second half though (which, annoyingly, we came out of worse than the first).

And Sonny is world class in its truest sense - he'd waltz into any team around if they could get their hands on him.

 

[Aoami]

Brilliant isn't he. Very surprised you don't ever see him linked to some of the money clubs.

 

[caLLous]

Yup, he has his off matches but when he's on it he's magic and the partnership he's developed with Kane is incredible, they're almost telepathic. He's supposedly about to sign a new long term contract and Mourinho says he wants to "end his career at Tottenham" (as in play until the end of his career, not leave now ). We're lucky to have him, I'm sure there'd be a flood of interest if he made noises about wanting to leave so I think that speaks to his loyalty (and happiness at the club) that other clubs aren't even bothering to enquire. Plus, his existing contract runs until 2023 and they'd have to deal with Levy which I don't think anybody looks forward to.
