cfc team: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Tomori, Zouma, Alonso; Barkley, Jorginho, Mount; Willian, Abraham, Hudson-Odoi.

Oof, Iwobi's finishing is still crap.

Somehow Everton haven't killed this yet. Can see West Ham grabbing a late goal at this rate.

Alright let's see how much worse this season can get for Tottenham

by CBarca Sat Oct 19, 2019 3:07 pm

LMMAAOOOOOOO

by CBarca Sat Oct 19, 2019 3:08 pm

That's actually a fantastic goal from Watford though fair play. Tottenham's outside backs rofl

by Jay29 Sat Oct 19, 2019 3:28 pm

How slow was Spurs' defensive line dropping there? I saw one defender sprinting back and the others kinda jogging.

It's not even a case of Spurs playing offside and screwing it up. They just don't get back quick enough. It's mad.

by urbaNRoots Sat Oct 19, 2019 3:32 pm

Could it be a case of players not playing for the manager anymore? Or just bad defending?

by Jay29 Sat Oct 19, 2019 3:41 pm

Sounds like Watford should have had a pen, but VAR didn't overturn it for some reason.

Yep

Aurier is so bad

by CBarca Sat Oct 19, 2019 3:57 pm

Spurs midfield is sooooooo bad. Winks and Sissoko are amongst the worst I've ever seen

by nasir6371 Sat Oct 19, 2019 4:43 pm

Pep starting a backline of Cancelo-Rodri-Fernandinho-Mendy :facepalm:

However this may be the most attacking City lineup ever. Also never going to talk about that fraud playing or bring through youth again. Having our current best uninjured CB on the bench in Eric Garcia :facepalm:

by Jay29 Sat Oct 19, 2019 4:50 pm

Just seen Spurs' equaliser.

Watford :facepalm:

by nasir6371 Sat Oct 19, 2019 4:50 pm

Alli equalize after controlling the ball with an obvious handball... VAR says not obvious error enough rofl

by Guest Sat Oct 19, 2019 5:01 pm

watford... :facepalm:

dunno how many times in build up counterattacks then cked up... esp. Janmaat then in the very end Foster totally gave that goal away

Spurs fortunate with a draw here they really could have lost easily and by quite a margin

Wtf is that city team. Zaha plz turn up

by Helmer Sat Oct 19, 2019 5:30 pm

Pep if challenged properly or put under pressure, he always overdoes or uber experiment it Laughing

Will be a fun game.

by Helmer Sat Oct 19, 2019 6:10 pm

Not watching the match but till now CP without a shot according to livescore Laughing

by Zagadka Sat Oct 19, 2019 6:52 pm

Zaha is playing like prime Milan Jovanovic today. So many bad touches.

City are literally playing with no defenders, yet Palace hasn't mustered a single chance.

Still no idea how they've managed to win so many points this season, seeing they don't have a single proper striker and Zaha is yet to score this season.

by Doc Sat Oct 19, 2019 7:15 pm

People thought Palace was gonna win this?

Think he's not over the fact he couldn't leave Palace this window and its affected him mentally.

90% of Zaha's games are like this. Last season, he was the most dispossessed player in the league.

YouTube merchant if I ever saw one.

Think you're talking about Pepe here this season.

Zaha had 10 goals and 12 assists in the PL for Palace last year and was constantly their only outlet creating things and he did it upto a great point of keeping them clear of relegation. Its like Coutinho in Liverpool in 2014 or Suarez in 2013.

Even in games where he scores he tends to lose the ball too much. Will never work at a big club.

Coutinho/Suarez comparison is laughable.

Its the fact and the comparison he has elite mentality and takes on players alone.

Palace's top scorer that season was Miljhaviiosovic who scored 90% of his goals from penalties and free kicks at 1 more than Zaha, strikers no where to be seen, third was Townsend I guess again from midfield. Can't blame Zaha when he's too good for Palace.

Zaha should have moved on this season and Arsenal should have signed over Pepe Laughing

. He is class and will be if used properly.
