Liverpool's on a tear right now, plus the Klopp-leaving boost, anything but a thrashing will be a choke by them ( ). In all seriousness though, they do need a win to keep City at bay, and they have had our number for some time now, very curious whether we can wring something out of home advantage

Funny enough I feel Arsenal have less pressure on them than LFC since Klopp announced his departure at the end of this season. Even if they are still very much considered a favourite for the title, it seems like Arsenal can just go one game at a time and hope for the best while LFC have so much pressure to keep on because of city challenging them and keep on the charge to make that season memorable for Klopp.

That being said, Arsenal might fully shift their attention to the Champion League if they don't get the desired results in the upcoming month.

Mid-season pre-choke to keep the pressure off, Arteta on that proverbial 4D chess

f*** me not this kit again.

Feels like the first time in ages Kulusevski hasn't started when available.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Richarlison!!! 8 goals in 8

Dude was a bargain. LOL

Not his biggest fan but I'd still start him over Johnson.

 

[Jack Straw]

Richy!

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Richarlison is in the form of his life.

Not his biggest fan but I'd still start him over Johnson.

He could probably use a rest.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

We all know Timo isn't a finisher, but I think he has a role here as a set-up man because he has good vision and quickness. As long as they have guys like Son and Richarlison who can finish and he's not relied upon to score 15-20, he can excel

 

[Jack Straw]

Spurs really have to stop giving Everton corners.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I think we see Sarr and Kulusevski soon. Bentancur and Hojbjerg haven't been very good

 

[Jack Straw]

van de Ven

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Godfrey that was awful.

 

[Savant]

Just turned this game on, were the Ev just trying to sub Coleman on but he was pooping? I turned on the screen and it was just Coleman running down the tunnel and I was very confused

 

[JPBolts]

Spurs have gotten all the calls from what I've seen, and they all have been deserved. Everton have become a Dyche heavy challenge team that leaves something in on challenges. A bit surprised there has not been any injuries

and now everton players are flopping all over the place

 

[luiginb]

Instant impact from Dragusin haha, he loves bodying players like that, and he's in the right league for that.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Welp

 

[hatterson]

Oh yes a 45 minute VAR check to try to take away a stoppage time equalizer. It's everything fans of this sport want.

 

[luiginb]

Romero loses Spurs two points.

 

[JPBolts]

Oh yes a 45 minute VAR check to try to take away a stoppage time equalizer. It's everything fans of this sport want.

and the header was clearly Romero

another poor Everton challenge

 

[Savant]

The Ev.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Not only is this Spurs kit ugly, it's cursed.

and the header was clearly Romero

another poor Everton challenge

They didn't check if Branthwaite was offside. They were checking if a player that influenced Romero was offside.

You certainly have to appreciate the irony of a Sean Dyche team complaining about opposing players being roughed up.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Dragusin did not look like he has settled yet, obviously his first game? But he looked slow and out of sync and taken a back by the speed. It is not the serie A, it's faster and more physical.
