The English Football Thread

They’ve also played as many games already as they did all last season.

Fair enough on Porro and other player. I thought I remembered Ange triggering the option on Kulesevski, but could be wrong. However, he has been your best player in recent months.

Just on Spurs players, Kulesevski would have to be their biggest asset at the moment wouldn’t he? Every time I see them he’s quality.

It was an obligation or at least a fait accompli due to various triggers/clauses. Either way, he had already been there 18 mths and was always going to be made permanent, regardless of who they appointed as coach.
He’s been pretty good amongst a shower of shit, but has hit the wall recently given the amount of games he’s had to play.

The Dr stuff is a bit of an exaggeration but sorta true.

Ange seems to have backing of lot of fans still, but the anti-Levy sentiment is growing. A real toxic atmosphere atm.

Side note - I’ve been missing active support so went to stand in the Holmesdale End with the Fantatics. It’s nowhere near the level of The Cove but still good to see a fanbase in England have a crack at active support.

Rashford to villa

United paying 75% of his wages

Ange in more trouble now? League form not a real issue imo as they’re in no danger of getting relegated, but Ange getting arsed is probably more likely now that trip to Wembley is off the cards.

Some will say they’re still in Europa and FA cup so yes fine

They’ll be out of the FA Cup too come this time on Monday (away to Villa).

I mean they need to at least sort of take into account they got arsed by a VERY in form Liverpool that has a good chance to win the league

It’s not that game in isolation, just following on from the discussion here recently, didn’t post it but I reckon they’d have been holding fire while 1-0 up from the first leg and 90 mins away from a final. Now that that’s done I think he’s in danger.

They been on a pretty consistent decline for over 12 months now. Players didnt even seem up for it today.

Spurs should have got Arnold. He is a better manager :grimacing:

Is Nunez still shit?

He’s no Mad Erik Meijer.

That would be a tough ask.

Another loss for ange

Big cupset with Plymouth knocking off Liverpool too. :grimacing: First XI wasn’t even that weak.

Hopefully a year we see a team from outside the big 6 win the cup, given that 4/6 have been knocked out.

In saying that, it’ll probably be a boring Manchester City vs Manchester United final.

I think Slot’s attitude to that game can be seen by the bench named though. Jones, Nunez and 6 teenagers gives the impression that he didn’t really care too much if they lost.

Not having as many games isn’t a bad thing for Liverpool

Ange on the other hand… how’s he going to get that second season trophy now?
