I think the Souness prem side was as bad if not worse. The Souness side was shite because Souness was an idiot. Talent and ability wise it was a million miles better than this one. Shay Given, Kieron Dyer, Craig Bellamy, Patrick Kluivert, Laurent Robert, Emre etc. I could go on but the talent in that squad compared to what we have now, the difference is monumental.

If only football were that simple.

the state of that form in general down there That's how leagues tend to play out.

It's clever. Remember Ronaldo doing it to us at Old Trafford.

Murrayarlisoninho with his 5th of the season.

Soft pen.

Wijnaldum at centre back. Wow.

Elliott would have been blamed for at least 2 of them on here. The hypocrisy levels of this place is unreal No, Elliot is just League 1 standard.

Who has written him off? He's been pap, he's costing us goals. He's struggling so much with basic defending. Every ball over the top he was scrambling. A lack of agility, a lack of pace. Spreading panic. Air kicks. Ducking headers. Playing attackers onside. He's rightfully being criticised. Over the medium term, I hope he can become good. But we need to stay up. We need points and clean sheets now. We need Lascelles in and Lejeune out asap. Reintroduce him and rebuild his confidence later. There's a lot of negativity surrounding him that I'm seeing. Don't think it's very useful personally, of course he's struggling at the moment, everyone is, but I tend to veer more towards staying behind a new player who is in an adjustment phase than to be critical of his every move. Still lots of positive signs from him this season. He's started and finished maybe 6 games, we've not had a clean sheet with him in it iirc... You recalled incorrectly.

As optimistic as ever, SUPERTOON. Time for a name change to PESSIMISTICTOON.

Piss off.

I stopped reading at "mediocre set piece assists". Without them we'd be bottom of the league.

Made a brilliant save doing this today from Hazard. It's a common technique used be goalkeepers, but not by all. Peter Schmeichel™

Hopefully the beginning of the end for Spurs.

Why is The North Terrace out of bound? It's being taken over and the new owners haven't confirmed if they do or don't want the flags and walk from there. Again? Didn't only get taken over earlier this year?

Why is The North Terrace out of bound?

We'd be comfortably bottom of the league without his assists this season so far.

Stop fucking whinging that everyone including Rafa is shit then.

Team selection was working great for a while, arguably should have been level at HT. Team has become knackered in the 2nd half. What were you expecting away to Chelsea? Give over man will you - I expect a team to at least be competitive and give it a go. It’s chelsea let’s just lie down and get our tummies tickled. That team is woeful and continuously playing players who have been total s*** over a number of games is not helping. Where do you suggest we go to get good players from when the transfer window is closed and even then we have an owner not willing to spend the going rate on players, wages or agents?

Gayle and Perez gave up there, not thinking Murphy would get a cross in.

As were Aarons and Mitrovic.
