Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

Sissoko made a great run for the kane goal but the commentator couldnt stop praising kane lol


Anyway mou is great as pundit unlike those other hacks like scholes should be fun

Even my boy Nkoudou getting minutes season gonna be liiiiive

Yeah - looking forward to seeing GLC and Ndombele play together. GLC would have definitely scored that chance that Sissoko blasted wide on. On this showing, we'll most likely get that work from City though

Harry Kane won MOTM?

My wallet thanks you, 'Arry.

My fantasy team thanks him

 

[Roberto Firmino]

You're hoping it's calf

But...

He got helped off exactly like CHO and KD were, and we know how that played out

The test for an achilles is instant, I doubt the club and Kloppo would be saying calf knowing it’s not and he wouldn’t have been allowed to walk on it if that’s what was suspected, most likely grade 2 calf, he be back in 2 months worst case scenario we will manage

It's always been A1, but people only focused on his finishing

This, from he first broke through even before that when he was playing for the youth teams, it’s always been phenomenal

What he has you cannot teach, it's just a natural instinct. But because he has such electric speed, that overshadows his ability to run into the space and time his runs.

Big Haddy Kane :seckle:, we back !

End of the first half had me thinking BDK was still in August mode after missing them two sitters

 

[Switch]

fukked up by not captaining Sterling, Kane kinda made up for it

 

[nyknick]

If OGS makes it to next August, McGinn to United for 60m.

Could've had Ndombele for 60m this year

How are you seeing this midfield formation coming through this season?

On paper i would go with:

Sissoko
GLC-Ndombele
Erikson
Dele
Kane(Son/Moura)

You know when Winks is fit, Poch will play him sitting - so Sissoko is out of a role unless he fits in at RB, no need for him to be anywhere other than DM. Dude is a beast in the transition but cant play that final ball, or shoot either . Dele got a question mark on him too from an average/poor season last year too .

Dier is pretty much done in this midfield unless he reverts back to being a CB (got at least 1 fukk up per game though)

Yeah, pretty much how'd line up depending on the opposition. For the likes of City/Liverpool/Chelsea having

Sissoko -- Ndom ---- GLC
---Lamela ------- Eriksen
----------- Kane ------------
​

All three CM's can play both sides of the ball and Sissoko on the right helps with covering for the RB. Would keep Lamela for his pressing and energy and moments of brilliance.

Against "lower" opposition, I'd line up with

Ndom ---- Winks/GLC
Lamela ---Eriksen ------Son
----------- Kane ------------
​

Take advantage of the creativity and do our best to score early and control the rest of the game.

Lo Celso will take over Eriksens spot. Dele coming back will be a huge boost too

It's useful if you're out and about and just want to see the goals. But I'd rather watch the extended highlights
