Dodgy owners and Olympic stadium deal don't deserve to be in the top flight West Ham are due another stint in the Championship. They're stinking up the Premier League the way Sunderland used to.

Vacamion Posted 13 September 2020 Posted 13 September 2020 Calvert-Lewin, with his top knot and short back and sides, has the club haircut of Leeds United, so is obviously angling for a transfer.

Adster Posted 13 September 2020 Posted 13 September 2020 Who'd of thought if you sign average players, you'll have an average squad? I'm sorry but the players spurs have signed this season are completely bang average and don't address any of their flaws. No wonder they got turned over today. 1

Part of the enjoyment in following football is watching these perpetual underperforming and useless wasters flirt with relegation and finish bottom half . Never have I read a post where every single word is exactly my sentiment. Goodison (pre covid) is a wonderful gallery of booze addled, pock marked faces of parents and pale, vitamin deficient kids ...all bewildered that their expensively assembled press hyped team scrapes a 1-1 home draw to Norwich. 3

I've got no real hatred of Everton but I agree that I want to see them fail. 2020 has already been a year of uncertainty and change so Everton suddenly becoming World beaters is a step too far.
CrispinLA in Texas Posted 14 September 2020 Posted 14 September 2020 Everton have bought really good in this transfer, Carlo Ancelotti knows what type of player he wants. James Rodriguez's passing was sublime yesterday Tottenham's midfield couldn't cope with him. £12million for Rodriguez seems like the buy of the season.
Dorkingfox Posted 14 September 2020 Posted 14 September 2020 Everton did play well, but the spuds were pants.

James Rodriguez's passing was sublime yesterday Tottenham's midfield couldn't cope with him. £12million for Rodriguez seems like the buy of the season. For me what is clever is that they balanced his signing by bringing in both Docoure and Allan. When Ancelotti was coach of Milan they had two of the best technicians in Europe with Kaka and Pirlo, but he balanced that with Gattuso and Seedorf who had amazing energy, and kept their midfield narrow so that their fullbacks could overlap. It meant that Kaka and Pirlo had more freedom to play but they were still tight defensively. Gattuso famously was there to help Pirlo out. He's effectively giving James the licence to be a bit lazy because he's got two players that can cover for him, meaning he can do what he does best. This is why some players are great for some teams but poor for others - at Real and Bayern they were never going to let him have that much freedom because there were bigger stars in the team. But I think they may still struggle with the sheer volume of games that all teams need to play this season, though that will apply to everyone. But on paper it's probably the strongest Everton have looked in the Premier League era. Even though they finished 4th with Moyes, that was an attritional team, whereas this one has good technical players that can play. 1

twister Posted 14 September 2020 Posted 14 September 2020 west brom will improve but lets be clear the gap between the prem and the championship now is gigantic As a man who watches to much football, you would need heroin to get through some championship games now, such is the poor quality of games.

Completely ignoring the fact that it's premier league goals. Chelsea fans are weird. Since they've started winning stuff they like to compare what other players have won in arguments. Yet they love players like Zola, rightly so tbf, but also consider players like that won only a couple FA Cups because Chelsea weren't backed then. Do they forget about that?

Nod.E Posted 14 September 2020 Posted 14 September 2020 (edited) Mourinho complaining about a lack of pressing from the front is strange to me. He has a point and it's one of the reasons I don't like Kane as an option for England. It never has been his game. But it's kind of like a lactose intolerant complaining about stomach cramps after devouring a main of cheese on toast followed by milk and choccy biscs for dessert. Drop him if that's the problem.

jammie82uk Posted 14 September 2020 Posted 14 September 2020 Sorry if it’s already been said but I have just noticed that Man Utd played Villa in a preseason friendly on Saturday, if they could play that then surely they could have played their league game against Burnley 1

He won’t drop him, he has stated many times Kane is irreplaceable, have Spurs even got another striker?
twister Posted 14 September 2020 Posted 14 September 2020 Another point to be added the media going mental because leeds only lost by one goal on saturday,I do find find. If their this big club why are people treating them like plucky underdogs for losing by one. They lost end of story.

Made even more farcical by the fact a lot of the players had to play international football beforehand with the Nations League games so it’s not as if they could have a rest anyway! 1

Could play Lucas there. Just find it amazing that he can in one breath blame lack of pressing and in another call Kane irreplaceable. It can be difficult to argue with the stats of Kane but I just don't enjoy football matches he plays in. Don't like his style. Doesn't help that he's such an unlikeable character. 2

Because its their first game in the Premier league, against one of the best Premier leagues ever, and they gave as good as they got? The Leeds hatred precedes my interest in football, as they've largely been irrelevant for the last 17 years or so, but I think our lads will be in for a big shock when we play against them in a month or so. They're a very good, and very intense team. Wouldn't write them off, as they'll put more pressure on us than most teams.
