English Premier League '16-'17 Discussion - Part 6

Pochettino: "Moussa Sissoko needs to work hard and to show in future that he deserves to be on the team. At the moment many academy players show more promise"

Pochettino: "You sign a player and then you expect something, and you do not find what you expected. In the end you get disappointment"

I could have told you that brah.

Ruthless.
He surely could have kept this internal right?

I dont know what that table proves but it doesn't say anything in concrete.

I believe it says we are the most dangerous offensive side in the league and the eye test could pretty much tell you this.

Surprised about Arsenal though.

It's just a table of how many chances are created by the top teams and who is hitting the target more.

Liverpool obviously creates the most and hits the target the most.

Arsenal fans won't be surprised with our stat considering we had FOUR shots on target in 4 hours before the PSG game lmao.

It's interesting with United though as they create and their shots are relatively on target but their goals are very few in comparison to others.

Sissoko

average players that get game time for their NT must love International tournaments, unreal amounts of cash spent on frauds that have 1-2 good games and get media hype

Spurs spent like 50+m combined on Fraudsenn and Shitsoko

almost utd lvl money wasting but at least ours have resell value ffs

2015–2016 AZ 34 (27)
2016– Tottenham Hotspur 12 (1)

Janssen

when will teams learn ffs, for every suarez you get 5 depay's ffs, dog shite league

Serie AZ

Jansen is even worse than soldado lmao

How is this Josh Sims guy?

Looked pretty decent today. Doesn't have the decision making ability but it was his debut so that's not an issue now. Might be another good Southampton export in 3 years

knwing I cant see properly, I will still make an attempt. The number of goals scored by
Chelsea - 29
Liverpool - 32
ManCity - 29
Arsenal - 28

A difference of 4 goals between maximum and minimum in that table. So if you compare this table with RG's table, my eye test tells me the table by RG tells you loads of BS and is irrelevant in the larger picture.

That is because Arsenal have Giroud who scores with every shot he takes, while Liverpool have Firmino who practically never scores with any shot he takes, and he takes lots

Well, proof that Tottenham aren't having problems creating that much, the problem with Tottenham is the mental fortitude of the team and a lack of clinical goalscorers. Janssen was supposed to help with that.

With Dele Alli having an average start to the season, Eriksen not scoring like he used to, Lamela being in and out with injury, Sissoko being Sissoko, Janssen being Fraudssen, Son being a flash in the pan, and Dembele/Wanyma/Winks all being players who don't really score much, it's no surprise that Spurs aren't scoring much and that the only legitimate, consistent goalscorer is Harry Kane, who has missed more of the season so far than he's played.

I honestly think Spurs will grow into the season unless Kane gets injured again or the team continues to miss some of their most important players. Still waiting for that attack with Kane, Lamela, Alli and Eriksen playing.

Spurs NEED to buy a goalscoring wide player.

Pochettino: "Moussa Sissoko needs to work hard and to show in future that he deserves to be on the team. At the moment many academy players show more promise"

Poch he did this with Osvaldo too. Anyone with a brain could have told him that Osvaldo was going to be a problem, he punched Lamela in the face at Roma ffs but he went and bought him at Soton anyway, only to get rid of him within a year. Dude is incredibly strict, yet still believes he can buy Osvaldo, Sissoko and he wanted Berahino and somehow turn them into players who will work hard for the team.

Tbh, I thought Sissoko might turn it up a notch after getting a move to an ambitious club, but it turns out he's just a pos. I'm on team Mole from now on. PARDEW SUCKS

No Team has won a PL game in Manchester since the 24th of September

Conte vs Pep next week
