Premier League Gameweek 1

James Maddison, Tottenham Hotspur captain. :lol:

Wait, he's captain now that Son is off? Surely they'd give it to...err, well, I see the problem.
 
I thought that was a good penalty shout against Vicario. The foul happened inside the box, he got none of the ball, and the striker might have had a chance to get his shot on target if the 'keeper hadn't been steaming into him illegally.

I reckon that gets given if it's for Liverpool at Anfield.

Agreed but it's part of the protection keepers get for no reason.
 
There's been very little time wasting in this second half and there's 4 minutes stoppage time. Just shows if the players cop on with the time wasting there will be a normal amount of added time.
 
Hope Maddison gets more of a chance in the England squad now he's at Spurs.
 
I see the new standard 17 minutes injury time doesn't apply when there's a risk it'll run into the second half of Sky's Super Sunday double bill

Yeah, the keeper cleaning out the striker after he's gotten his shot away has been given one time (Nketiah last season), and basically never before or since.

Arsenal got a penalty for the exact same situation against City last season.
 
Really good watch that.

Pluses and minuses for Spurs but that was a strong second half from them without creating a huge amount.

Brentford remain a very awkward team to play against and going to have to work hard to beat them over 90 minutes.
 
Spurs could be in for a long season.

To be fair, very little time wasting in the second half.
 
Somehow boehly has spent 800m and made the Chelsea side on paper (and on the pitch) look worse than before he joined????

If the liverpool side from the back end of Last season show show up today then this will be 3 or 4 goal margin win, think the influence of potchettino has been over played, he has not looked a class manger since his last full season at spurs and is possibly in that mourinho category of living of a past reputation
 
Spurs are fecked if they're relying on Richarlison for their goals.

I don't particularly rate him, but given how much a striker that's better than him would likely cost, I think they're better off using the Kane money on the rest of the team.

If he could score goals in that dire Everton side, he should be able to do a job for them.
 
Well - after watching that game, I can say that Spurs wont be anywhere near top-4

As for Chelsea, it is puzzling that a team can spend so much money and still have a team that look mediocre.
 
He looks more like a squad player, as opposed to a player you'd want in your starting 11 every week.

I just don't think he was a great signing. Said it at the time. Definitely not for £60m, anyway. And he always looks like a moody bloody sod
 
2-2 is a good result for Spurs. Brentford away is not an easy place to go. Think with all of the drama around Kane, they've done well to get a result today.
 
Chelsea is such a mystery to me. Starting with three players I've honestly never heard about.
 
That Liverpool team is extremely attacking. If Liverpool don't dominate possession, I think they'll lose. That said, Chelsea's team doesn't look great, the midfield in particular looks weak.
