we have a new 'neutral's favourite team'
How are Spurs lining up their midfield? I haven't had a chance to watch them.
Erickson -Dembele - Lamela
Alli - Dier?
I thought Dembele was usally a CM and Erickson played in the center but I remember Erickson cutting in from the left when they'd put two strikers in near the end of games last season. Then again Alli seemed rather far forward with his goal today so are Dembele and Alli switched from my guess?
>>64007604

>>64007840
>Liverpool winning the league
seems like he will live on for a long long time.
dubs and lychester finish top 4
>>64007876
With Dembele going further up Eriksen goes to the left, leaves Lamela for the right, though I think he might be better in the middle.
>>64007876
Nah, eriksen has decent work rate so that's why poch gets away with playing him on the wing. and dembele is a good tackler so he makes up for the fact that alli likes to bomb in from deep and he's a decent passer if a bit one paced. only problem is playing out wide really limits eriksen

>>64010133
They did win the FA cup though, ultimate dilemma innit. As that size of a club would you rather win a trophy and then get relegated down to league 2 in financial ruin or just be boringly mid-table in the prem every year.

Wasn't super into football at the time, what happened?
>>64010233
Why? It was much better than generic London/Southern team #237846
Teams like Blackburn and Bolton at least had some culture and felt unique
>>64010247
the owners made the team do an advert about venkys chicken
>>64010247
Blackburn essentially got some new completely terrible owners who owned a chicken company. they ruined everything the club was built on and forced the players to take part in an advert for them.

Oh boy how great is it gonna be that Ranieri gets Mouyes sacked?
Reminder of the shit Mouyes spouted about him in the past
>“Ranieri? I guess he’s right with what he said I am very demanding of myself and I have to win to be sure of things. This is why I have won so many trophies in my career. Ranieri on the other hand has the mentality of someone who doesn’t need to win. He is almost 70 years old. He has won a Supercup and another small trophy and he is too old to change his mentality. He’s old and he hasn’t won anything. I studied Italian five hours a day for many months to ensure I could communicate with the players, media and fans. Ranieri had been in England for five years and still struggled to say ‘good morning’ and ‘good afternoon.'"
>He also stated: "I never said I was a phenomenon, but it's certainly not my fault if in 2004, after coming to Chelsea and asking why Ranieri was replaced, I was told they wanted to win and it was never going to happen with him.
>"It is really not my fault if he was considered a loser at Chelsea."

>>64010339
who cares about clubs like Bolton and Blackburn though? and throw Wigan in there as well. Who honestly gives a shit
the majority of the country could care less about those shit teams and frankly they should just bandwagon the good north west teams instead as they're all so close to one another.
Seriously, what is noteworthy about any of those clubs? they never had any kind of club or fan identity, or a memorable way of playing. Just generic northern baldy head rabble

list something that makes anyone care about those clubs instead of just trying to belittle my opinion. Nobody gives a shit about Shearer at Blackburn, they just bought the league that one time and it feels bizarre to everyone that they ever won it. Growing up they were always in the league, and yet while you'd see even odd West Ham or Sunderland shirt around, there was never any kids who wore Blackburn or Bolton shirts because nobody ever saw anything in them that was likeable.

Because Shankly gave it to him and Liverpool is one of the biggest clubs in the country. Clough did it on his own, or at least him and Taylor as a team did it on their own.

>>64010993

Laughable
>>64010855
You're a retard. Clough had a couple good years success, and was largely average for the rest of his managerial career.
Fergie managed to solidify United as one of the best, and most successful clubs in Europe over decades.
And if we're just talking short periods of time, Bob Paisley won 3 european cups, 6 league titles, 1 uefa cup, 3 league cups in 9 years.
Clough didn't have the sustained success to be called a GOAT
>>64008384
Thought you were talking about next year, thought to myself, "Chelsea are not getting there"
Then realized you were talking this year
And got depressed
I'm going to chelsea's next home game ini the league on my way home for xmas, and I'm not even a llittle excited yet
probably last time to present age SB too
One thing about Clough is he proved he was no fluke. Took a 2nd division club to the league title then went and did it with another one
>>64010953
>and then they faded to shit once he left.
No, they faded to shit whilst he was still there and got relegated.
He wasn't able to sustain success because he's not that great
>>64011073
Shankly and Paisley made Liverpool into one of the biggest teams in the country m8.

>>64011084
Paisley took over one of the biggest clubs in the country that was already winning things and won more things. What Clough did has never been done by anyone else before and will never be done again. Except Fergie wasn't successful in Europe, he won the same number of Champions Leagues as Clough with a stratospherically higher budget.
>>64011073
Paisley had to maintain and rebuild over the course of 9 years though and in that time won 6 league titles and 3 european cups. Shankly hadn't made Liverpool the biggest club in the country at that point either, it was Paisley who took it to a whole new level after Shankly laid the foundations beforehand.

No, Liverpool were a second division club when Shankly took over and built them into a good team (another manager better than Clough btw). Paisley solidified them as a top club.
If Clough wasn't a flash in the pan then his career would have more to it than those 2 european cups.
Clough's career was largely average and he's absolutely not as good as Fergie or Paisley

Except he achieved in a short time what no-one ever has before or ever will again. What Shankly/Paisley did with Liverpool is like what Klopp did with Dortmund more or less. Impressive but it happens. What Clough managed was more like what Greece did in 2004, except imagine they won the world cup in 2006 too. Only lasted a short while maybe but it's still the greatest achievement in British football history.
