A serious miss for them.

Guess we see now how good they are!

[–] JessyPengkman@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (4 children)

I don't want to speak to soon, who knows maybe somehow we beat wolves and City still. But this season was never about winning the league and the fact that it's even discussed still amazes and excited me. Before the season started I'm pretty sure most Spurs fans would be happy with coming 6th whilst playing nice football given that we were obviously working towards something. especially now that Kane has gone

Feel like Spurs fans knew the threat was looming because I seen a lot of “if x happens, we’re fucked”. Unfortunately x happened twice in the one match with VDV and Maddison. If anything happens to Son, prepare the eulogy.

It hasn't ruined your entire season. Spurs are still in a great position now to push for a CL place which would've been well above expectations at the start of the season. Even with your great start a serious title challenge was more fantasy than Lord of the Rings.

I mean look at us last year, some random 10 mins bullshit euro game decimated any hope we had at a title shot

The comments in here are wild, mainly from people who can’t wait to talk bad about Spurs, it’s not like any team losing a key player could face some set back. Arsenal is a shit team, yet on this sub they’re stronger than early 2000 galacticos.

[–] NewTitle9528@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

People always eventually get sick of media darlings. It's nothing new.

[–] EdgeOfTheWorld1997@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Arsenal is a shit team??? You think this is 2019??

[–] CuteHoor@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Arsenal are a shit team? I wouldn't disagree if you said they were overrated on here, but to say they're shit is just nonsense. They're one of the top 3 teams in the league easily.

[–] ThereWillBeGoals@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It sounds like the update is that he's been left out of the England squad, meaning he's for sure out a couple weeks. Not a lot of details beyond that.

[–] eaeb4@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

he'll probably be back straight after the international break to absolutely rinse our high line with passes into Son

[–] UnKarl_Marx@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

this is why he cost only £40m

He requires the team to revolve around him, he'll exceed expectations by scoring and assisting regularly, then he'll get injured and the club will be clueless on how else to play because everything revolved around him.

Spurs will get 4pts max in the next 7 games

[–] InstructionCareless1@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

4 points in 7?

Sure, Jan.

RIP fpl. Who to pick now?

[–] SirFox14@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

There are a lot of quality midfielders available. Son if you don't have it yet, if you have two transfers and have Romero or Udogie you can go for Palmer (for the penalties alone he's a good cheap pick) and Trippier for example, or if you have only Maddison, you can trade him for Bowen, Mitoma or one of the Arsenal lads. Since I had Romero and did a transfer already, provably will wait to see if he returns after the national team break (and hope he does not drop price twice).

[–] blue_boy_24@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Bowen

I picked palmer since he's cheaper and a guaranteed started, and decided to buy better players with the money left.

[–] TheDutchKid@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Look, I know Palmer is literally Chelsea's best player right now, but with nkunku's return who do you think is gonna lose his place? I think palmer is not as nailed as u might think

[–] washag@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think Palmer is much more likely to move to one of the wings than the bench. Losing his creativity and intelligence would be disastrous when our strikers take 5 good chances to score a goal.

The way Maddison went down looked strange for spraining an ankle. Replay didn’t show any twisting motion. Looked more like some type of an Achilles injury to me but hopefully not.

[–] the1funslinger@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That’s what I thought too when I first saw it. Didn’t really seem to twist it, more like he just pulled up suddenly which is never good. But I thought he was walking on it after, if it was a serious Achilles problem I doubt he could. Hopefully he’s alright

[–] SplittingAssembly@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

You could weight bear on a partially ruptured achilles, but it could still require a few months to heal.

Tendons do not get the same blood supply as muscle, so they take a lot longer to heal.

This is Matt Law, given that he didn’t say Maddison is dead, him missing international duty is probably just a precaution.

[–] blue_boy_24@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Tough for him. It’s always a matter of when not if for an injury.

[–] disagreeable_martin@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (6 children)

The rate of injuries all over Europe is out of control right now, and then you factor in how the transfer prices for reinforcements just keep going up. It's a bubble and very concerning.

No wonder everyone has thin squads when it costs so much just to get a viable starting 11, who then get over played.

[–] Freddichio@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Yep - for all the shit Chelsea and United get (rightfully) for underperforming, there's only so much that you can do when you're missing basically an entire team's worth of players.

For a good few weeks, Chelsea and Manchester United could put out an "out XI" that was better than their starting XI...

[–] Competitive-Tonight3@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (8 children)

I wish it were just a good few weeks for Chelsea. :(

I am sorry spurs fans. Fuck injuries man. They take all the promise out of a positive season.

[–] Plastic_Sand_2743@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Sad to see rival fans celebrating injuries and holding this over spurs as ‘karma’. I would never wish injury on a player, not even one of my bitterest rivals.
