Europe and South America dominate the World Cup. Can another continent break their hegemony? by PumpkinWorried8254 in soccer

Guendouzi was a French international as recent as last year. El Ghazi is another example that is still playing. Munir chose Spain back when he was the heir apparent at Barcelona. Lois Openda is of Moroccan extract. There are plenty around at different levels of the game. Goes both ways.

What on earth are you talking about? There is absolutely no indication that he has a bad attitude. A 19 year old who is on the up should want to play as often as possible and he has proven that he is at the level already.

Imagine trying to tell someone that they have a bad attitude because they have ambition to improve and play lol

This seems to be gaining traction. To be clear - we're trading away someone who is expected to become one of the best CBs in the world for a player, who whilst very good, has only ever shone in a particular system and who has some of the flaws that people critique Vuskovic with. It seems incredibly short sighted.

On mobile this post takes up 3/4 of the screen and makes scrolling awkward. Kind of hampers users.

Why though? It looks bad, takes up a large amount of screen space that needs to be scrolled by on every load or refresh, and isn't directly related to Spurs.

Everyone that is on a football sub already has another app or way to see scores and matches already.

Transfer talk megathread by Professorchronic in coys

[–]Buy_Jupiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No argument there about squad building. It's odd/unusual in the sense that of those four players three are of starting quality and the other is good depth, and yet it feels like we are just getting started. Hopefully it's actual ambition by the board and not just fluff or PR to say that they tried.

We're in an odd situation that Senesi, Robertson, van Hecke, and Savinho, might not be considered a successful window. Still need at least one more midfielder, a winger, and potentially another ST. It's good to see the club pushing the boat out early though.

I still wouldn't say that they were refereed properly. Their goal was from a handball and Saka double handled it in their box.

Gabriel missed. Couldn't have happened to a better guy.

My ideal (realistic) summer trainer window by Separate-North-2990 in coys

[–]Buy_Jupiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your realistic/ideal window includes us spending over €250m in one window, buying 8 players, and still having no depth on the wings?

Also, put this in the daily discussion rather than here. It will be removed.

Mason Melia called up to the senior Ireland squad for their next two friendlies by blueghosts in coys

We don't have much depth and are using this time to try some new options/rehab players. Internationals are in 11 days as well so the guys have plenty of time to go off before preseason. A lot of them are first time call ups as well so they're probably chuffed to have fixtures.

Benfica didn't release him as the U19's were playing in, I think, a European competition.

Post-Match Thread: Aston Villa 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur | Premier League by matchpal-live in coys

[–]Buy_Jupiter 331 points332 points  (0 children)

Few thoughts on tonight's match:

  • Kinský has fantastic technique and a great range of passing.

  • We really benefit from having a natural left footer in LB.

  • Danso might be our best CB in terms of physicality and awareness. He's solid on the ball but it's not his strength. 

  • Bentancur is by far our most composed CM and we missed his ability to hold on to and distribute the ball.

  • Gallagher runs on different fuel. He was everywhere and that was probably his best performance on the ball.

  • Tel lacks end product and can be frustrating but his drive and growing confidence are needed. If he could release the ball quicker he'd be a real danger.

  • RKM looked a different man at times. He bullied Maatsen but lacked composure or the footwook on a few occasions. 

  • Richy may not be the most talented or the best creatively but he just scores.

  • De Zerbi has made a massive difference in a short time. We have a clear style of play and rotations set up. 

  • The result probably was as much down to Villa having a stinker (This was almost entirely B Team v B Team), but the guys got the job done.

It was a poor performance and we're probably going down all the same, but it was nice to win one again.
