I’ll take the three points and hope we can get some guys back after the international break. Wish Harry would sit out some of these meaningless England games to get a rest, but that obviously won’t happen.
Got sozzled in shoreditch last night and had an epic row with the missus (because she is a maniac), so I got to bed fairly late. This "morning" she tells me its 1030am, since my phone was dead I just took her word for it. It was 1030am alright, on the east coast. So I woke up in London about 20 mins into today's match. Those two empty seats 14 rows up from the bench were mine. Off to Italy in the morning. COYS.
Still confuses me why KWP isnt playing for some of these matches right now. Sucks Onomah got hurt for preseason, he could have gotten a good run
I'm back from Europe, gonna try to figure out how to upload some pics from the Barthelona match. First things first though, fuck West Ham.
Man, if only Sanchez could have shot anywhere in the other 97% of the goal that wasn't covered by a prone Fabianski...
He was off balance, so hard to fault him though a second would’ve been great. Coco’s driving us, which is good to see. Actually thought Sissoko was really solid too, even before the assist which was picture perfect.
Gonna take the dog for a walk again in the 2nd half because we are guaranteed to score while I'm out.
I know the Lamela > Dembele sub was for defensive shoring but I again have to question why Dier remains on the pitch. Just gifting the ball and misplacing passes regularly.
Did the bubble machine turn on when they scored that disallowed goal? Or do they just run the bubble machine at random times?
Happy with the three but we’ve got to get Eriksen and Dee back. Also need to get Son playing and back to last years form. Thankfully Winks is getting back into form because our midfield is not great right now. What he hell has happened to Dier?
three points at west ham is always good. We always win but they're huge bastards and get up for Spurs
Need a win today. It's unlikely that we qualify for Champions league, but I really would like to at least be in Europa this year. I know it sounds heretical.
If we don't finish top 4 we're going to see a good amount of players leaving the club. That needs to be the number 1 objective this year and it's very much still a realistic goal.
Agreed. Copy pasted from reddit, this is a great point: " Through November 30, we'll have played only five league matches at "home." This means 14 of the final 25 league matches are at home with only two of the 14 against top six clubs (three of the first five home fixtures were Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea. We don't look great and we're winning ugly, but just as importantly, we're winning away - 15 points through six for 2.5 points per. Over the last three years, we averaged 1.75 points per away match This schedule puts us in a great position to make a serious title challenge if we can keep up the good home form we're used to (32-6-3 since 2016-17) as we head into the new stadium. " Get back some of our injured key players (Vertonghen and Dele in particular) and that we have great fitness as a club stamina-wise... I think we can hang with the other top 4 contenders.
Kane with back to back near misses. Bungled corner fell to him and he spun and shot right but was deflected, then an ensuing cross finds his head and he puts it off the top left corner of the frame of the goal. Good pressure.
There was absolutely no one offside. Zero. FUCK! Let me clarify, Kane was, but didn't go for the ball. Bullshit.
Get Lamela on for Sonny to run at their tired defense. Also wouldn't mind seeing Wanyama and Winks come on to give us a fresh midfield.
Ends up being Moura. Lamela waited on the sideline a while because we just held the ball for so long, never a stoppage in play.
Yeah, we had a third. IT WAS RIPPED FROM US! Zoot is having one of those games where, despite having given up 2 goals, he's still the best his side have to offer. Great saves.
I realize Dembele is on fumes and a card but allow me to go on record as saying I don't like Winks here.
