GWT: PL Matchweek ?

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I only watched the second half, but before those goals I struggle to think of a grade A chance for Tottenham. That Sanchez(?) effort outside the box was their best.

First half was an absolute beating. Kane should've scored three. Albrighton had a goal-line clearance too.

 

[Evilo]

Considering how highly rated Tielemans is,

NOT by me.

 

[AB13]

NOT by me.

Sound. But you usually rate players quite well with one large exception (you know who)

 

[Blender]

Considering how highly rated Tielemans is, looking like a non league level player against that midfield isn’t acceptable regardless.

He has not had a good year at all, really inconsistent and on his worst days looks dreadful. Doesn't take away from how good he has looked in the past for Leicester.

He has shown great ability on the ball in the past but he has always been lazy and a defensive liablity. Tielemans is still a good player though, for sure, but I don’t really think he would improve any big 6 club all that much. Like a few other Leicester players, I feel he has been overrated in the past. Not playing for a big 6 club can often lead to a player being overrated, as people don’t overanalyse and see all of your flaws. Soyuncu and Schmeichel are other players who I feel have been overrated in the past.

If anything Schmeichel has been underrated. He was one of the best shot stoppers for quite a while, though he's on the decline with his age now, but really didn't get much recognition for it.

Tielemans is frustrating because he has the ability to be a really top end player, but the consistency just hasn't been there enough. It looked like he finally put it together with Leicester, but here we are again with him struggling.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Interesting how Spurs got 4.9 xG despite the wingbacks and Lucas struggling. I felt like everything came through Kane. Absolutely carried Spurs attack tonight. Please keep it up.

 

[Venkman]

Much better second half by United. Nice pass by Fred and movement by Elanga for the first goal. Hopefully Rashford gets some confidence from his goal. McTominay was good in the second half too.

I really hope that FA probes that Spurs/Foxes match because if you want to talk about pure match-fixing potential, I can't think of anything better than that godawful turn by the LC player to give Spurs the ball and pretty much a break away for Bergwijn. Then the LC defender, Soyuncu, was miles off of Bergwijn and Schmichael could not have played that as poorly as he did. These are very good players all going into schoolboy mistakes, which rises the chances of match-fixing even higher. Disgraceful.

He's a good player, can have some great stretches, but he's way overrated on this board.

Leicester have been like this all season.

I don't disagree about their form by any means, but allowing two goals in extra time is as mischievous as it gets no?

Just the beauty of football. Nothing more to it.

First half probably deserved this scoreline...for Brentford

Second half United have been much better. 3-0 is probably a little bit generous, but they've had more good chances this half, although the best ones were after Brentford had to open up after the first goal.

Reflecting on this result this morning I remembered that Brentford battered Arsenal, bullied Liverpool,and Chelsea required a MotM performance from Mendy.

Point being, going to Brentford and getting any kind of result is really, really hard.

Nothing about Ronaldo's hissy fit when he was substituted?

That's because he loves the team so much. He CARES.

On a list of problems at United, Ronaldo is about 803rd.

I would think if you were throwing a match, you don't wait until minute 95.

Not really sure what there is to talk about.

Ya I agree no big deal at all

Or you have an immense amount of morals fighting against your desires. LC could've clearly been paid off if they dropped the match, but decided to wrestle their thoughts and emotion for a full ninty-minutes before succumbing to greed in the final five.

That sounds like quite some book/movie plot you got there.

 

[jimmysheva]

Leicester shouldve kicked off and scored when Lloris was celebrating in their half. 3-3

 

[Jersey Fresh]

These Norwich kits are an affront to humanity.

The truth always make the best stories, parables, or proverbs.
