Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [14th - 19th September 2018]

All from Mane being silly tbh.

 

[omnomnom]

Spurs have been filthy all game. Have that.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Thank **** for that. Another mediocre performance in front of goal but the defence and midfield were great today.

Spurs absolutely sucked though, Leicester were a far harder test away from home.

5 wins, 15 points and we're still yet to hit top gear

Edit: Hope Firmino's eye wasn't too badly injured, around the eye would be a massive relief tbh.

 

[Purdy]

Sturridge jogging around is making my bloody boil already. Weak body or not, we can't carry him if we want to win things.

Edit: 2-1

****ing livid.

The ball dropping for their goal and he just allows it and turns his back on the shot, ******* hell

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

I don't understand how he can think he deserves a place in the team, he's clearly fitter than he's been for a few years but he just doesn't appear to want to fight for his place.

Edit: Just watched the Mane challenge on Son in the last minute, stonewall penalty. Oh well

 

[el_dazza]

City take all of 100 seconds to score.

 

[Kelt]

Cech displaying his sublime footballing skills again.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

I'm hoping the pictures on Twitter of Firmino getting a finger in the eye are fake or it could be a really serious injury

Edit: If it isn't fake, it's got to be a lengthy ban.

 

[Purdy]

Freekick to Spurs btw

 

[robfosters]

Ouch, that’s awful.

 

[trigg_27]

Poor first half from Arsenal.

Far too much last-ditch defending, midfield being over-run and nothing being created up front. There was maybe a 5 minute period when we looked pretty good, but we didn't really do anything in those 5 minutes

Didn't realise how bad this was at the time!

 

[Gooner Leroy]

Always

Always going to happen when you have Xhaka in your midfield. Not sure why he's not giving Torreira a start yet. He's looked good every time he's come off the bench

 

[Kelt]

Jesus, that finger in the eye is nasty.

Should get a lengthy ban for that. Firmino could have lost his eye.

 

[trigg_27]

Torreira on... but not for Xhaka. typical

 

[Mark1989]

Felt that was a very easy spurs win, should have had 4 goals really.

Still no where near our best but winning anyway.

Shaqiri needs some game time I think too, I was surprised to see sturridge come on over him

 

[robfosters]

Wow, what a free kick from Xhaka!

Keeper should have done better though.

 

[trigg_27]

Ok... he can stay on then

 

[Somnambulist]

Thing with Guendouzi is that he's full of pep and zip or whatever but ultimately he's just been a teenager that looks comfortable in the team which is great but the team simply look a lot better with Torreira on the pitch every time he's come on, and a combo of him and Xhaka is something I'd like to see more since on paper you'd think it'd provide better balance to the team.

EDIT - Ozil!

No 4-4 repeat plz.

 

[robfosters]

2-0. Torreira totally changed the game. Such a player!
