endo is really shit on the ball at times, reminds me of hendo

Something about Endo. Technically looks very awkward in possession. And when he sees a pass, seems very risk adverse and doesn't want to play it. Or takes too long in doing so.

SNAP!

Would be nice for this lot of players to give Slot a selection dilemma or two.

 

[Hansern]

How is that not a free kick for Szobo???!!

 

[rurikbird]

Gakpo at LW, Diaz RW, Szobo and Jones sharing #10 duties. Same formation as Slot’s first pre-season game in Pittsburgh when there also was no striker available.

Wtf was that by Endo

Ah makes sense

 

[Fabio]

I do like that adingra

 

[Hansern]

Our central defense is weak in the air with this lineup. That will be a challenge.

Quansah is decent and Brighton arent that strong there either tonight

 

[Markeh]

I do like that adingra

even got mane tribute hair

 

[Shadey]

Well played keeper

 

[Hansern]

Awful positioning from Robbo

 

[Modo]

Brighton should have scored

A symptom of not trusting your teammates

I agree on Jaros. He delivered clean 3 points with his substitute cameo. I think that deserves A SOON OPPORTUNITY just to see and observe how things pan out. Things like that can be EXTREMELY IMPORTANT in making great players. It doesn't happen often that great players are created. But THAAAT is very important in how MANY MANY great players are and were created.

And for any one great player there are MANY MANY MORE who were killed by that stuff. Whose momentum was disregarded and killed. With a young keeper one obviously wants to be VERY CAREFUL in that regard. Slow. With lowered expectations. But CONSISTENT. And one should sometimes JUMP at such opportunities.

Just plugged in. Great save Jaros.
First impressions not seem good. Szoboszlai seems too far out. Like in a Number 9 position during their possession. While that might be fine as a strategy people need to understand that Szoboszlai himself is uncomfortable in such positions. He didn't grow up and he is not used to playing that sort of football. Anyhow, seems like a weird pressing / defensive set up. IMO, it is very weird to use Szobo in that position.

 

[Modo]

Come on Morty this is your chance!

 

[Farkmaster]

Why the fuck do I want to hear from horse face in the middle of this shit? I’m trying to watch a game.

 

[binomial]

This is boring.

 

[Modo]

The ref needs oxygen

He didn't trust van Dijk on Sunday too?

 

[Shadey]

Gakpo starting brightly.

 

[Modo]

He didn't trust van Dijk on Sunday too?

That was also Van Dijks fault for not helping him out.

 

[Shadey]

Diaz looks lost on the right.

 

[Hansern]

You can see its a Championship ref. Several challenges would be a free kick in the PL

 

[Modo]

You should see the linesman on our side

Being played like a pre-season friendly this.

Soon as Spurs City kicks off, this is going off.

 

[Markeh]

my expected yawns (xY) is over 10 for this half

 

[Farkmaster]

Six games on one screen and it’s still a shit buffet.
