He's right
>>64201096
>have a team of quality players
>can only fight relegation with them
yeah nah pearson was a shit manager
>tfw spurs have the joint best defence in the league
not used to such feels
>>64201595
Don't forget that Pearson had a host of decent-to-good strikers at his disposal (Vardy, Ulloa, Nugent) yet persisted with a £9m Croatian megaflop all on his own until he realised.
Wonder if they'll make any money back on Kramaric next month. It's clear he's not in Ranieri's plans anymore.
>>64201641
>nugent
kek
>>64201655
He was better than Kramaric.
That guy looks completely lost in this league.
Pards should be England manager

Would be Wally 2.0
What the fuck is Watford doing so high in the table? What he fugg?
>>64201847
>Would be Wally 2.0
Literally totally different managers. Pardew is a man manager with no tactical sense at all. McClaren is a decent tactician who nobody wants to play for. Pardew could be good for England if he gets the right number 2, McClaren would be a good choice even.
>>64201859
Doing an inverse QPR: signing a shitload of players and then playing very few of them
>>64201874
Haha opposites that have to work together! What a decent rom-com!
>>64201859
being defensively solid with a striker on a hot streak
How do you win football matches?
Pardew would be great for England. If you look at the one England team which did well in my lifetime it was the 1996 one. English players respond well to a charismatic man they can believe in, will grab everyone by the scruff of the neck and protect them against the insanely pressurising media. Tacticians who do none of that stuff (Sven/Capello/Wally/Woy) have decent ideas but the players are all too scared of failure to actually put any of their plans into action since they haven't had the belief instilled into them.
It's why Redknapp would have been perfect.

No he wouldn't.
There would be no media pressure so he could lose to San Marino 10 times in a row and they'd still support him.

>>64202263
>could go ahead of Chelsea today :^)
why do his shorts hug his bum so tightly
>>64202286
He's actually scoring goals for villa

>>64202280

Forgot about Leicester.
>>64202311
>yfw he leaves for dortmund
>>64202324
I do like how similar the away kit is to dortmunds this year
Think Tom Fox is trying to create an artificial yellow wall
>>64202233
Theres a rumour about Adama's contract being a problem, as in once he plays a certain amount of games his wages skyrocket. The Villa coaching staff also said that he is still an incredibly raw player, but if I were Villa I wouldnt let that be an excuse not to play him.
Kozak is odd. I like to think he's just getting match fitness playing for the U21's, but he's scoring every game so I dont know why he isnt at least making the first team bench
Are Tottenham unironically in the title race?
>>64202337
No.
>>64202337
Yes, but only because the top teams are being inconsistent.
>>64202337
A win today and you've got to lump them in I reckon
Everyone else looks so shaky and they've been fairly solid this year
>>64202336
I saw a post on >reddit saying that those rumours were a load of bull
It was a guy saying he had heard a load of things about the club, like what their plan is in January and shit but he had no evidence to prove it
He said that Traore is really bad at adjusting his game and doesn't track back during training
>>64202337
They are this seasons draw specialists along with Everton, so no

When was the last time we had a final day where the title showdown was between more than two clubs?
I reckon we could get three or maybe four going into the last day with a chance at this rate.

>>64202337
No but we might be in a couple of year if we keep up this trajectory
>>64202337
>>64202356
they're doing okay but they still don't look like a title-winning team

I didnt really beleive the contract thing. I know Villa's transfer policy is completely retarded, but even they wouldnt allow some crap like that in.
Stuff happens when he's on though. I wouldnt start him, but i'd give him the last 20mins or so to run at the defenders
>>64202337
I thought spurs were forever cursed to finish below arsenal
Hey
>>64202417
Probably deserved more time but since he was appointed after leading villas bitter rivals to relegation he was never going to have the fans on his side

So Villa are going down then
Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Hugo Lloris (c); Kyle Walker, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, Danny Rose; Tom Carroll, Eric Dier; Erik Lamela, Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen; Harry Kane
Newcastle (4-4-1-1): Rob Elliot; Daryl Janmaat, Chancel Mbemba, Fabricio Coloccini (c), Paul Dummett; Moussa Sissoko, Vurnon Anita, Jack Colback, Georginio Wijnaldum; Siem de Jong; Papiss Cisse

I don't think so m8
>and then he said he thought alexis was more important to arsenal than ozil
>>64205121
he's looked half decent in his last few cameo appearances and his preferred position is the number 10 role. He can't be worse than Siem "exploding lungs" De Jong
>>64205152
He's a right winger not a number 10
>>64205167
no he isn't, he's often played out wide but he prefers to play and is best as a number 10 (just like Cabella)
>>64205194
m8 he was always a winger at Marsielle, he's even listed as a winger on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florian_Thauvin
>>64205217
yes, he was played out wide to accomodate Payet in the centre. Mata often plays on the right for Chelsea and Man Utd, David Silva is often seen on the left, Wijnaldum and Sissoko are central players being played out wide.
CAM is a competitive spot and such players are often played out of position. He's a CAM that has never been the best CAM in his respective team and therefore has been pushed out wide.
>>64203959
Isn't he Newcastles best player?
>>64205478
I think Wij is better
>>64205478
he's looked good at times, but has still failed to produce that many goals
if mitrovic is getting shitty delivery, it's just safer to play cisse instead and hope the ball bounces off him and goes in

It's the best one since the season with AGUEROOOOOOOOO and Suarez-Liverpool. My only worry is that it all feels a bit artificial, because crazy memes happen at the start of every season, when ludicrous nobodies top the table and former champions drop into the relegation zone, so even though we're nearly halfway through the season, it still feels like the first couple of weeks where nothing really matters because everyone's still finding their feet.
