GWT: Premier League Round 25

[hatterson]

And to add even more insult to injury, Jones picks up a pretty weak yellow.

 

[Evilo]

I'd be mad as a Spurs fan.
To me, that's an obvious call.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Ashley Young keeps throwing his foot high.

 

[Live in the Now]

The weakness in Mourinho's tactics is being made clear here. If an opponent happens to score early his ideas just aren't suited to recovering a deficit.

 

[Evilo]

Think about it this way : if it was in midfled, would it be called a foul?
Every time yes.

That's fun to say, but it doesn't match the reality of what's happened. United was great in the 15 minutes after the goal and generated 3-4 good chances.

Mourinho has ideas?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Every time yes.

Yeah, I agree. That was a penalty in that case.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Sanchez is doing nothing to support Young. Trippier is getting so much space.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Valencia should have a yellow by now.

 

[Peen]

Alexis has looked good and don’t get me wrong I love having him here and he’s an amazing player but we need a whole new back line and we got a winger. Our LBs are a converted winger and a player that’s been injured for more games than he’s played. Our RBs are another converted winger and just an awful player. Our only good CB is now injured. Our only DM runs like he has sandbags on his legs. Yes we have De Gea but he’s going to be pissed soon if he keeps having to save all these shots. Just looking at the players that moved this window, we should have been in on Emerson and Laporte. Those are the ones off the top of my head I’m sure there are more though.

There's only two teams that properly built a balanced first eleven...

Spurs and City.

Chelsea has built a 7 at the back defensive monster which is the worst of the top six offensively.

Liverpool scores goals but is incapable of stopping them.

Arsenal are OK at scoring but just terrible defensively.

United have better offensive players than they do defensive but Mourinho can coach any players to play the defensive side of the game which is why they haven't conceded a lot. Don't trust it in a big game scenario..

 

[hatterson]

Pogba has been basically invisible today.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Havent see any of the game, but just saw the Jones OG on twitter.

Goal of the year candidate. Absolutely brilliant finish.

 

[Peen]

Ah yes. My name is Cahill and I'm going to let the only forward go straight past our defense 1 on 5.

It is. He opened himself up amazing to get that on target.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

This is how I want Tottenham to play as often as possible. High pressing, fast build-up play and a lot of counterattacking. Lucas would fit right in.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

If I heard correctly, Graham Poll said on BT sports that it was a good call.

He changed his mind after watching replays.

 

[Peen]

Chelsea really deserve to be down 2 nothing.

Loaning out our only backup wingers only to put Barkley in a winger position.

Christensen goes down and Cahill can't defend two counter attacks even with 75% possession.

Hazard going offside about five times.

Really is a shocking performance.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Um Courtois, how do you not stop that?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Davinson is having absolutely none of United's offense. Absolute beast.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Christensen goes down and Cahill can't defend two counter attacks even with 75% possession.

Hazard going offside about five times.

Really is a shocking performance.

It's why we need to keep David Luiz for the sweeper role and why we brought in Giroud because Hazard sucks as a #9.

Not that shocking, at least for me.

 

[Peen]

Cahill lets Ake go past him for the 3rd goal.

I really hate Cahill.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Horrific goal there. Pathetic defending.

 

[Peen]

It's why we need to keep David Luiz for the sweeper role and why we brought in Giroud because Hazard sucks as a #9.

Not that shocking, at least for me.

Christensen is better than Luiz.

Anyone is better than Cahill.

Deserved result for the way we play but being down this much at home for us is just an absolutely joke.

I really thought the initial judgements on them this year were harsh, but this team really is laughable right now.

Its as if there is no point in showing up the season after they win something. How the wheels havent completely come off this season is beyond me, but they might be starting today.
