They don’t have a particularly difficult schedule through February, so maybe that will be the case again. Still, not a pretty sight with the shite sitting atop the table.

pete0 Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Almost a bit of FA cup magic in the early game. Accrington Stanley went down to 10 men in the second half but that spurred them and if anything you'd think they were the team with the extra man. Missed a good chance only for Derby to then counter and a score from the resulting corner. 10 man Accy still put up a fight coming close a couple of times and a Derby player took a red giving a fk on the edge of the box to prevent a 1 v 1, good save from the fk and then a few jumpy moments with Accy throwing the kitchen sink at them. Good match to start the day and more importantly I didn't have to redo my acca and cry about betting rule number one, never back the early kick off.

I'm not sure how he's doing but noticed that Lampard has said some good things about him and he's getting more playing time recently. I think he's been called up by the USA once or twice. pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 This window has been a massive change from the norm. You would have never expected a team like Spurs to make no signings in back to back windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that I saw City do anything big either, or United, or Arsenal. Just Chelsea with Higuain really. Let's hope sensibility reigns and the prices start coming back to earth.

Yeh its quiet everywhere. Chelsea did also sign Pulisic so they spent a fair bit with Morata going the other way. I think Arsenal got Suarez on loan and City signed a cheap youngster but I think thats it. Even the teams further down the pecking order havent done much business. Its definitely the quietest window I have seen. markjazzbassist and Sibdane 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 I’m in a box at Wembley tomorrow for the Spurs Newcastle game guest of one of my suppliers, I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve told their rep I’m an Everton supporter who was born in Newcastle. Never mind I’ll still enjoy seeing the Geordie’s beat Spurs Toon army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formby Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Still think Demarai Gray would be a good signing. He has quicksilver feet. Only 22. Impressed me every time I have seen him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Anyone watching this City game? The tactics from Pep are fascinating. I havent sussed specifically why but when defending he has Fernandino playing as a CB however when they have the ball he is playing alongside Gundogan in central midfield. Walker and Laporte playing as the full backs sit in as wide CBs. I can only think it is to stop the counter attack and try to maintain possession but its not something I have seen before from Pep or generally. Considering they are playing Arsenal that takes some balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
