2018/2019 Premier League Discussion Part III

Actually, today read that Tuchel said in the press conference that his relation with Rabiot remains good and he would very much like to use him as soon as Rabiot's relation with the board normalizes, but it's 'complicated'.
Imagin forbidding your coach to use a player because he's not renewing his contract

I think SAF will have a big say, if he can get us into the Top 4 and take us past PSG or maybe even the Semis then I see him staying.

Problem is getting us into the Top 4 is deceiving, as Chelsea and Arsenal are mediocre AF. But I think he would deserve to have a shot at the job full time, so long as we preface it by saying he has another season.

An issue is that there aren't many notable names available for the job in the summer anyway. Whoever we get is gonna be a risk. So if Ole performs between now and the end of the season, why not?

When you're accustomed ruling people because you're a fking monarchy, this democracy thing can be complicated.

All Spurs so far though. Still think it'll end up a draw.

of course, i am looking at united's potential to counter. PSG's defense and ability to defend in transition is not very good. that's the match up.

Going to follow up with Di MAria >>> Lamela and even Draxler >>> Eriksen

oh and Verratti >>>>> Winks

Kane has Jones squarely in his pocket.

almost bringing tears to my eyes seeing how fluid our attack/counters are atm

Spurs have been utterly shit at finishing their chances, I mean we've had plenty of our own but they really should be back in the game

De Gea 2 gud

what was the name of that German lad people were hyping a few years ago @Hapless_Hans

Neuer? not heard that name mentioned in like 3 years

Lukaku coming on

RIP fluidity

Spurs's finishing has been disgustingly bad.

This reminds me of Arsenal/United last year at the Emirates.

Phil Jones, Luke Shaw, Ashley Young, Ander Herrera

Ole has these jobbers looking serviceable

i did not know Eriksen was underrated to this point on GL

Will spurs ever be anything other than bottle jobs ffs

De Gea is the greatest goalkeeper of the modern era

Hans hyping up some German numpty ffs

Eriksen is firmly in territory where he's expected to perform each week now rather than people saying wow he's actually elite..we know he is, and this season he's not been setting the world alight, but been alright.

He's still very much elite. Draxler ffs. That guy isn't even good. He's a B+ player.

Herrera or De Gea MOTM for me

Lukaku looks so fat fgs

Draxler is not better than Eriksen, Hans needs to stop this madness. Also GGMU, top 4 is gonna be ez pz lemon squeezy.

Flopetino dominated by Ole ffs

@ all numpties who laughed when I put forward the possibility of us making Top 4 and beating PSG now that Mou was ousted...

^Said it to my mate

This should be known as the 'Zidane effect'

All these players are playing to their full potential.

Pogba went from misplacing 5 yard passes and dribbling the ball out of play to picking out incredible passes and scoring week in week out

still gets dispossessed every now and then but the difference in incredible, he's clearly a mental midget who needs to be loved but ufff

3 weeks ago nascar was telling us that spurs were playing the best football and were 2nd favourites in the title race

a resurgent United means a resurgent Firenze

and that's good for the PL and GL

long may it continue

not gonna get cocky though, I know this was all on Spurs being dreadful at finishing, which is funny because it's the reverse of the game earlier in the season where we could have be 3-0 up at HT and then scored every shot they had on target

Spurs have actually lost more games than Arsenal this season. But they have 0 draws.

Lol nice win in the end. Spurs with 0 midfielders cutting right through our 3 midfielders in that 2nd half thou was a bit worrying. Matic and Herrera were easily bypassed. Played a bit like a Mou's team then. 0 brain from any of our experienced guys. Perhaps the lack of running has made most of our guys unfit and they appeared tired in the 2nd half.

Anyway Spurs were mostly shite. But they does deserved at least a draw surely. DDGod
And I dont think any sort of definitely conclusion is correct from this game because of that. (brace for Man United fans going absolutely overboard in the next few days btw) Whether Oleball has to roll on beyond the season, we will have to wait and see. Our attacking play is joy thou to see.
