Premier Lg EPL Matchday 10 - On Stan Sport

[jd2010]

Another Thomas Frank masterclass at home

This is sort of like the AVB days where Bale would save the boring displays with his brilliance, except with Frank its long throws and corners

 

[Mr Meow]

Tottenham seem to hate playing at home compared to the old White Hart Lane days. And especially under Frank.

They've been dire, but could still scrape a result somehow.

 

[jd2010]

6 mins added on would normally pump up the crowd to chase a goal

But with Frankball its met by groans being forced to watch us for 6 extra mins

Pretty extraordinary how dominant Chelsea are in this particular derby. They deserve to win today though.

 

[Mr Meow]

Should be 4-0 to Chelsea.

 

[chef]

3 point lane delivers once again.

 

[hawkman]

That performance is almost a sackable offence. Starting lineup was terrible, the play was diabolical and the defending catastrophic.

The only one who gets any credit is Vicario and even then he sold a few players into trouble

 

[TY24]

Glad Joao Pedro and Gyokeres remembered where the back of the net is after I traded them both

 

[Ocha905]

Main takeaway was how poor the Tottenham atmosphere was. Normally think it's pretty good.
Oh and Caicedo shown how much of a gun he is yet again.

 

[RossFC]

Those long balls from Spurs to Chelsea's keeper over and over was some awful viewing.

Speaking of awful viewing, Liverpool play next.

 

[hawkman]

3 point lane delivers once again.

Lol how are you still below us?

 

[Mr Meow]

Spurs being 3rd is bizarre. I think eventually they'll be 9th-12th.

They were booing their own players at the match I went to last season. 'When the Spurs Go Marching In' was awesome to hear in person but after that the home crowd turned on their own players pretty quickly.

I'd put it down to Palmer being injured, our other forwards aren't much chop atm.

Speaking of which, I was disappointed about missing Simons but hes really underwhelming(first time ive watched him this season). Is he normally like this?

Yes

A friend mentioned during lunch last week that Spurs have won something like 5 from their last 20 home PL matches. Couldnt believe that at first however majority of that would have been under Ange and then brought into this season, so it’s plausible. That’s a pathetic stat if true.

To be fair to the lad, Ronaldinho would struggle to excite under Thomas Frank

It's always the managers fault with Spurs fans

Fair point but last season was an abnormal one for Spurs.

 

[Ocha905]

I thought Frank's Brentford were a decent watch fwiw.

I know. They won a trophy.

 

[jd2010]

If you ask enough people you'll get enough varying opinions to come to that conclusion

But for me personally since Redknapp the only managers I felt deserved to be sacked were Mourinho and Nuno. Conte forced the issue with his outburst but I agreed with him. All of Redknapp, AVB, Poch and Ange were harshly removed imo

 

[jd2010]

I thought Frank's Brentford were a decent watch fwiw.

On a mini match format sure. And so are we in 3-12 minute installments.

Also we're a lot better to watch when set up to counter against really good sides or away from home. Which is how he had Brentford setup 38 games a year. Don't think he knows how to set a side up to control games, create chances when they have the ball for 5+ passes in a row

 

[chef]

Yes

Yeah, the Bundesliga is a scam for forwards.

Caicdeo got player of the match for the night.

Joao Pedro was excellent in front of goal , probably should have had 2.

Cucurella did a complete shut down job on Spurs playmaker Kudus.
