English Premier League '16-'17 Discussion - Part 12

Harry Kane third and he's missed like half the season played so far

Top scorer over the past three seasons in EPL and he's done it at Tottenham

This dude is unreal. Time to lock that Harry Kane is a fraud thread. GL needs to put some respeck on his name. All I see doing it is BC and I

Will this affect United  at all?

Ofc it will. The only remaining options atm are Bailly, Rojo and Blind and we have a shitstorm of matches coming our way. Smalling and Jones individually are arguably our 2 worst CBs. But still would have helped had they been available.
Because its Mou, can't see youngsters Tuanzebe and TFM benefiting cos of this situation at all unfortunately. He might play Carrick at the back in lesser games.

Lamela also finally gave in and decided to have surgery after 5 months of trying to recover

Amazing that Spurs are doing so well with so many key players on the sidelines for so long.

Bailly - Rojo are probably our best CB's best yeah I'm worried. Both are prone to being a bit rash, I prefer having them paired with one of Jones and Smalling tbh. If we get another CB injury CL qualification is over.

mata out for the season. man u racking up the injuries

wtf is this shit

CL qualifcation is DONE

Rooney back starting while we enter a congested period

CL is done

EL is impossible

probably the UNLUCKIEST season I've ever witnessed tbh

Agreed. To be fair though, the tactical switch from Poch to go for the 343 has minimized teh impact of Lamela's injury. Happy to see he's having surgery though. Whatever is up with him clearly wasn't getting better by treatment without it.

Hopefully the surgery goes well. This problem has been...worrying. Hope this isn't an injury that threatens his career at all. Doubt it will. Hope he's back for next season, been a shame to see he's been out this whole season especially after I thought he got off to a pretty good start (was outperforming Eriksen, Alli to start the season).

It's a shame because every season it looks like it will finally be his season until he gets injured.

I actually think he would do quite well in a 343, and he has the stamina to play WB if necessary (although not the tackling ability, he's always a yellow threat).

Legit thought Mata news was April fools' prank. We are effed.

Hmm. Last time we had this many injuries it paved the way for Rashford to break through. Hope Mou will show the balls to put Tuanzebe in defense. Won't be too surprised if the kid already looked better than both our 2 clown English CBs tbh.

That Liverpool lineup
and the bench

How Liverpool are not 9th is beyond me.

should be a good game, if Everton win they go above United and Arsenal

having played 3 more games though

come on you toffees

Hoping for a draw.

ffs

i thought lucas was starting, what's he doing in the crowd

Everton looking decent

nice jinx

Mane is too good for Pool

Great goal by Mane but that defending lmao

Everton's back three look terrified whenever a Liverpool player is running at them.

Tom Davies already having a tough time in midfield.

That Pool team is so disgustingly bad on paper

Miss the days when Karius used to provide banter in goal

it's a good job we are playing on grass and not paper then.
