Maddison being dropped is more interesting. Ange has been playing both him and Kulu and it’s left us vulnerable defensively. He’s finally made the tough decision to give Kulu the starting 10 role. I think it’ll look much more balanced.

 

I just now saw the lineup and Solanke is playing lol I thought you guys were saying he wasn’t

 

The commentator for this match has done nothing but shit on Ange and gush over anything Villa does so far

 

Spurs and set pieces.

 

This commentator is making the game unwatchable

 

Fake news from me. Sorry!

 

So tired of watching games and every analysis on Spurs being “Ange has no plan B so it’ll just be this the whole game”. He literally made an adjustment with the lineup going with a double pivot vs two attacking mids. Just because we continue to be aggressive doesn’t mean there aren’t adjustments. Majority of the goals we’ve given up this year aren’t because of a high line. Yet that’s all I hear. It’s so lazy.

 

Is Dragusin any good? I’ve not seen much of Spurs but when I have he’s always making little mistakes

 

He’s definitely inconsistent. But I think he has a bright future. Only 22 years old. His biggest challenge will be his agent lol that guy keeps speaking publicly about Dragusin not playing. But it’s clear he’s still developing.

 

Finally spurs show up to play

 

That's some finish by a player out of form.

 

Solanke :)

 

omg Richarlison cannot stay healthy

 

Over 1m sold Solanke in Fantasy, myself included. PAINNNNN.

 

Solanke has been activated

 

Feel so bad for Richy

 

Strong performance from Pape Sarr today. He’s had somewhat of a slow start to the season but last couple outings he’s been impressive.

 

Madders!

 

8 wins in the last 10 matches. Those losses to Brighton and Palace really hurt lol

 

Colwill dives without even being touched and Neville is saying Licha kicked out at him?? and almost begging for a penalty?

 

So is cynically fouling to stop a counter attack only a yellow when you actually stop it? Because Jesus Chelsea should have about 3 yellows already from late tackles when we’re countering

 

Throwing the keeper to the ground to stop a quick throw? No yellow. Neville of course sides with the Chelsea player.

 

Hmm, weird only United get the yellow for stopping a counter. And only the Chelsea potential penalty gets analysed with the magnifying glass, not the two clearer United ones.

 

Why is playing on and letting VAR take care of offsides not a thing today?

 

Jon Champion and co-commentator Graeme Le Saux spent a few minutes bemoaning xG
