Premier League Gameweek 17-19

I remembered a few links linking Romero to us. I’m so glad he’s not a United player and that we got the correct Argentine instead
There was someone on here raving about him a while back. I’ve never seen it to be honest, he’s just dirty and gets caught out far too often for a CB
 
What a hell is going on in this game, Villa 2-0 up away from home and having all the ball and attacking. Do Spurs players want Conte sacked or? :lol:

Just runs around throwing himself into people. Total headless chicken, look where he was in the first goal.
 
I know but you’d presume both would start for most of the top 6 if they could.
Depends though. Hard to blame Sons form on Conte as he had his best ever season last year.... under Conte.

He was absolutely terrible in the world cup as well. Idk what's going on with him.
 
Son has 3 goals this season though and they all came in one game....

Fair enough, but the likes of Bentacur/Davis/Hogberg have all chipped in with very important goals, something those players aren't known for, and it was unsustainable in the long term.

The problem with spurs is cultural. No expectation to win anything, no pressure on the players to perform for any manager for more than half a season, the only thing expected of them is to bottle something at some point. It’s the easiest gig in the league.
 
Not even surprising with how Spurs are playing and how Villa have started life under Emery. Cracking result for us though!
 
Their first 3 are but beyond that no. I think we have more depth. Obviously we are without a Ronaldo replacement too.

Spurs badly lack creativity. I don’t think they have a single number 10 in the team.

DvB swap for Son. Everyone's happy
 
Levy will want daft money and I can’t see anyone being that desperate
Can't see many teams wanting Son on current form. He literally looks a shadow of the player he was last season, must be up there with one of the worst drops in performances in the space of the year. He's been on the same level as Elanga this year....

Yeah they do miss Bentancur, only decent creative outlet they have in midfield and can get you a goal as well.

He shouldn’t have played the World Cup. He should be recovering. I think the whole thing is a farce and is going to create a Rashford situation for him.

Not sure an eye socket injury is really required recovery time?

He's just having a dip in form for the first time in years.
 
Jamie Redknapp still banging on about United being mad not getting Conte? Nah thought that won’t be mentioned again…
 
There’s a lot of mileage in Son’s legs so i think that’s now catching up with him. Also seems to play a lot for his country and represented them in the Olympics. It’s bonkers the minutes he has played so far

Apparently he’s playing while the bones are not glued yet. Which means that he can’t fight for the ball nor try many headers. He’s just not able to go for any ball so he’s losing the thing that makes him dangerous. Imagine Rashford couldn’t battle for the ball in the box against the defender. Then he’s not scoring. Son is in that situation right now because he’s playing without having fully recovered.
 
They do not.

They have 5-6 players who are at the same level required to fight for the title. I would not rate Spurs' squad much higher than Villa
Isn’t that on Conte? They just spent 170m on players he wanted on a team who finished 4th
 
Son has regressed so much ! Should have moved when he had the best season.
 
Chelsea need a win here, with their next 2 games being against City and Fulham (away). Forest looked terrible against us few days ago but they play this one at home and they already beat Liverpool there (and Spurs in Carabao Cup).

I'm not saying that the injury hasn't impacted Son in any way but before the injury he wasn't in good form either.

It was disapointing to see him sign a new deal at Spurs but he doesnt seem to care that much about winning.

Well yes that would be silly!

I know he was playing with a mask on for a while, now plays with it off. I assumed it was healed but maybe it's more of a psychological issue now. Takes a while to stop protecting injuries.

He took the mask off during the game today. According to Perry Groves it was one of only two cheers all game. The other being a sarcastic one when Spence finally came on.

Ah right, I thought he didn't have it on in the world cup but maybe my memory is confusing me.

I guess it's up to Son as well, but clearly something isn't quite right with him.
