Exactly.

Starting to rustle with the Lamela hype, is it because he's a south american pretty boy?

literally no idea why this 'kid' is rated at all, we ridicule Lingard, and rightfully so, but he's proven himself FAR more than this guy. I'm not saying he's trash - just exceptionally average as far as players for a top team go. Wouldn't look out of place at Everton or Newcastle.

"Drinkwater" has to be the silliest last name I've encountered

Banter club confirmed.

Strong English name, stop hating ffs.

No excuses. They're more than enough for Brighton. Even that defense will probably keep a clean sheet.

Can-Lovren CB pairing keeping a clean sheet u wut m8

For some reason I thought Brighton were REALLY struggling to score this season, looking at their GD it's in line with most of the jobbers. Also had no idea they were 10th, lol. Thought they were like 15/16th.

Yeah, expecting you to concede now. Although Can works at CB on Fifa, can confirm,

Hoping United score twice in the first 5 minutes so i can nap. What a disgusting time for the match ffs

Not even a high effort shitpost

You're better than this

Lamela was out for 13 months and created an assist in 2 minutes. Watch his return to full fitness coincide with good form for Tottenham. Just watch. I'll wait.

You can pretend I'm shitposting all you want. You know I'm right, so what he's been out for a year? he's not a talent. He's 25 years old and had less than 3 standout performances in his career. Again, not trash at all, but he's not some elite talent.

Not going to risk GL jinxing his recovery by trying to educate Frenzie, but let's just say that he does a lot of things that Spurs are sorely missing when he's out. He applies pressure like no one else and this creates a lot of chances as he recovers the ball (I think in the one season where he stayed fit most chances were started off by him), he can dribble like only a few can, he does well under pressure and in tight spaces, he is creative and can pick out a pass (right now only Eriksen in the team can as well). Etc. So he has a lot of things going for him that Spurs could really use, especially if your backup is Sissoko and some Ligue 1 scrub that is so irrelevant I've already forgotten what he's named.

Also Spurs reportedly after Lanzini:

Imagine if West Ham sells their best player to Spurs?

Firmino ffs free header

Yeah but he'll win lots of tackles.

He's got 10 goals this season lad.

More tackles though

He's also top assists at LFC.

What's up with Moreno?

I literally said before the Watford corner "and here is where Spurs will concede"

They conceded

This team has an inferiority complex right now

if Spurs lose today Pochettino is putting his job under pressure imo

He's shite

Of course Spurs are behind.

Blehhh wasted fantasy points - may need to swap him for Gomez then.
