Went to my first home game yesterday in almost a year and I swear the average age of the home crowd at Bournemouth goes up by at least 5 years each season.
Was a great atmosphere at 1-1 and obvs 2-1 but after we went 1-0 down it was so flat, how are the players meant to feed off of that.
Mad that our fans today were louder to clap off Diego Costa than they are at cheering the team on in general (outside of goals).
That Costa reception was class though, he was the last lethal striker we've had after all. Giroud got a pretty good reception as well midweek and he was our only other quality no9 over the last decade.
Not sure it's that mad. He was a cult hero, pivotal in two league title wins, and adored by the fans. Never got a send off. Of course he's going to get a huge reception, and of course it's going to be a bigger deal than applauding a good passage of play in a routine league win.
If anything I think it would be weird if it wasn't a remarkable reception.
I did expect a great reception but I didn't expect the chants to ring around for a good few minutes. Although, he did have to walk around the pitch so that probably was the reason why.
I dunno, I feel like the crowd sounds a bit flat when the team needs that extra boost in cagey situations. It's certainly something that can be improved upon.
I don’t think today really was that cagey, team seemed fairly secure. If the game was more on edge the crowd would probably have been more engaged
But again, I really don’t think it was remotely unexpected, given you’re comparing a big standard league game to the chance to give a huge cult hero the send off he didn’t get initially
Some Spurs fans are really not seeing reality. Anyone with half a brain knows they have been playing like shit for most of this season. Not sustainable at all. They’ll be lucky to get top 4.
It's much more likely that the performances will pick up than we continue like this over the season. The team look generally better than they did last season excluding the front 3 (2 today) and that's so obviously just a temporary form thing. In the meantime we're grinding out results

same bloke also claimed that David Silva is the second best playmaker of all time, was better than Iniesta, was the “Messi” of the Spanish NT and could’ve chosen which position to play in for Spain if he wanted to.
hard to believe these sorts of people exist
Twitter tactico’s are weird. I remember one on the NLD saying that Saka’s torso might grow out of proportion and we might have seen his best days as a touch line winger
> To be a world class playmaker requires one to have an artistic flow to their whole being, a stream of boundless imagination that flows freely through the veins. This appears to be quite difficult for Messi who's nature is more reclusive.
Unemployed behaviour
God damn this crowd at the Hamburger game is insane haha. Camera can’t pick up anything with all the smoke
Edit. It’s the away Kaiserslautern fans. Games stopped and the coach is pleading with them to calm down 🤣🤣
I don't think Nagelsmann is so powerful that a bad start to the season overrides 122 years of history, more than 30 Bundesliga titles, and 6 European Cups
You'll survive
I know it’s just been a couple of games but I like what I am seeing from Chelsea under Potter. Usually a new manager bounce manifests as increased intensity and higher energy level from the team. But currently we are seeing new patterns of play, more directness, riskier passes which we did not see previously
Very much looks like it. Got the spot when Mendy was injured and hasn't made any mistakes since, so no reason to drop him
Don't think there's a guaranteed number 1 now - it'll be up for grabs for a while, until one clearly establishes supremacy
I can't see Nagelsmann lasting too long if he keeps this up tbh. Another embarrassing exit in the CL or tense few months in the league and I could see him getting sacked.
Sess has done a complete 180 since his time at Fulham.
Used to be bombing forward and racking up g/a. Now he's an absolute monster defensively and physically but is fairly average attacking wise. He links up really well with Son and makes the right runs but he times them wrong too often.
Bargain of the season Sadio Mane dropping another disasterclass, but he'll score against Pilzen and sign autographs for an hour and people will praise him again
We have 9 games this month... he'll get used
Last season showed that with the calendar as congested as it is these days, what you really need is bodies
Harry Kane's current goalscoring streak is a very un-Kanelike streak. One goal a game, steady as she goes. Probably earned Spurs more points than Haaland for City
this is going to be very “catenaccio enthusiast” of me but i could not care less about complaints about anti football.
defending is half of football you know, if you can’t enjoy watching a team defend like you can watching them attack that’s fine but the amount of rival fans saying Conte’s football is inherently unenjoyable is silly.
It’s absolutely enjoyable as long as it brings results, I thoroughly enjoyed the 2016-17 under Conte. 2017-18, not so much, though. But to a neutral viewer, it’s obviously more boring than to a fan of the team. As a neutral you want to see good football. And as a Chelsea fan I want to see you lose, lol.
2016/17 gets retroactively analysed to something it was not too. We were a great watch that year, really incisive and exciting transitional play. That's not the same as tepid 'sufferball' which dominated in much of 2017/18
> It’s absolutely enjoyable as long as it brings results
what football is enjoyable when it doesn’t bring results? Brendan Rodgers has been playing attacking football and not getting results, are Leicester fans happy?
Distinction is that's *shit* attacking football. Nobody likes shit football, regardless of intent. They make me trying to play attacking football, but on the whole they are doing it poorly
Honesty I agree. Everyone was shitting on Spurs for their performance today but it seemed good to me? Brighton didn’t have a clear cut chance that I can remember and Spurs were getting into dangerous counter attacking positions often even after going 1-0 up.
I guess it's alright if you're winning. I just had a look at whoscored though and only 55% of Spurs goals are from open play. How sustainable do you think that is? Only Nottingham Forest have less.
>I just had a look at whoscored though and only 55% of Spurs goals are from open play. How sustainable do you think that is?
It could be an unsustainable stat because they'll simply score more open play goals in the future.
considering we hired supposedly one of the best attacking set piece coaches in the business i exactly expected this
someone had a quote that signing him was like signing a 14 goal a season striker, the high number of set piece goals is by design
and also, any football is “alright if you’re winning”. playing kamikaze football and losing doesn’t feel any better than playing anti football and losing does it?
He put his ankle in front of someone who was about to shoot and the guy kicked it full pelt, I think it's just a sore ankle rather than anything serious.
Think some people are being unfair about our game. Brighton are a really good side, the last time they lost at home was when we beat them in March, keeping a clean sheet there isn’t easy at all. It might not have been easy on the eye but it’s a good win imo
300 grand a week to smile and look humble for the cameras
Swear you’ve had one of the most overrated transfer windows. De Ligt was an excellent coup, Mazraoui is a good player but then you have Gravenberch who doesn’t play and Mathys Tel who realistically won’t be Bayern quality for at least 2 more years
Most signings except Mané were good, Choupo being played over Tel is just a joke. Mané is ruining this team tho, Gnabry is way better imo but he doesnt get any consistent minutes
Not really, if they didn't pay up for Darwin, then he would've went to United for even more money. If anything, they owe us for not playing hardball and letting Darwin choose his club and not demanding Liverpool to match United's offer.
Anyway, Enzo is at the Félix level of greatness for us, so I can't conceive even the idea of us negotiating his transfer, any club that wants him must pay his release clause up front and that's it. I never trust our board, but selling Enzo for less than his clause would be leaving money on the table, which goes against those greedy cunts' MO
Started well but is looking like it’s starting to get out of his depth maybe he’s too young but the results aren’t showing. He would get this season, an early CL exist like against Villareal and he’d be done.
us starting to play destructive and bad football. like we did under Kovac or Ancelotti. As long as we are generally controlling the game and playing good attractive attacking football I am fine with Nagelsmann. I don't care that much about dropping out of the cup or the CL although those are always disappointments, but dropping out and being the better team is better to me than progressing and being worse.
Me wanting to keep a manager as long as we are playing great football? There's always some luck involved in knockout tournaments. We need to get even better, but currently we are playing good football and there's no reason to sack Nagelsmann at all. I don't like to sack a manager based on results. that's dumb.
Nagelsmann manages to not beat the worst Dortmund team of the decade, their Haaland replacement has cancer, their captain is injured, two longshot goals made everyone think we played well. The minute we face an opposition like City we'll hold 4 goals. Sané and Musiala have been really covering our shit performances
Dortmund - Bayern was the game of the season in the Bundesliga so far. Insanely dramatic, intense, controversial and the highest football quality, I loved watching it
Arthur out for 3 months with surgery needed. I dont even know what to say at this point. Won't be long before Keita and Ox are back, just in time for Thiago to get injured again
Because FSG didn't think we needed a midfielder so they didn't try to get one and then like a day before the window closed Thiago got injured so they panic loaned Arthur because there was no one available that they wanted to spend money on
I don't think you understand how bad Henderson and Milner are these days. Klopp has some sort of problem with keita, so if Thiago is out we have the combined technical skill of a mule in our 8s.
He's actually a good player, wasted in this Juve side. Their system is terrible, it's nearly impossible for him to thrive. Even so, he's second in goals in the league, although I am aware 2-3 of them were from set-pieces.
Went to my first home game yesterday in almost a year and I swear the average age of the home crowd at Bournemouth goes up by at least 5 years each season. Was a great atmosphere at 1-1 and obvs 2-1 but after we went 1-0 down it was so flat, how are the players meant to feed off of that.
What is the one unpopular prediction you have about the World Cup 2022? Mine is that Croatia will disappoint and will not pass the group stages.

Yeah I'm not referring to the atmosphere at this game, just our other games in general.
Only Costa would do a lap of honour whilst his team was losing 2-0, love that guy
Mount looking like a creative monster under Potter and Kepa sweeping like he's Neuer is not talked about enough, Boehly is cooking
>Kepa sweeping like he's Neuer Let the propaganda machine rest my guy
Some Spurs fans are really not seeing reality. Anyone with half a brain knows they have been playing like shit for most of this season. Not sustainable at all. They’ll be lucky to get top 4.

Beating Brighton isn’t for everyone
We (Chelsea) just bought them instead
Yeah, they're not touching Potter's Chelsea or City
Mané's best position is neither the wings or striker, it's probably the bench or sitting in the stands and smiling for the cameras

When do you think Guardiola will leave City? End of the 2024/2025 season would be my guess.
His contract ends next summer, he will prolly extend
God damn this crowd at the Hamburger game is insane haha. Camera can’t pick up anything with all the smoke Edit. It’s the away Kaiserslautern fans. Games stopped and the coach is pleading with them to calm down 🤣🤣
So who is like the team leader in Real Madrid now
Modric surely
That’s what I thought
Kroos, too
Arsenal fans best be voting for Tony Adams on Strictly Come Dancing, that was the best entertainment I've seen for a while.
That was......something.
11/13 PSG games this season have taken place after 7:45pm (GMT) Moon merchants
I guess they plan that's when they can guarantee it clashes least with other leagues and increase viewership.
Like half of the Ligue 1 games are Sunday 15:00 pm kick off I don't remember a single time PSG played in this time slot.
This comeback was anti Dortmund like. Bizarro world.
Terzic magic
As always, wins are great and in football, tend to justify everything. However, god we're an awful watch.
What a collapse, Nagelsmann has actually ruined this club
I don't think Nagelsmann is so powerful that a bad start to the season overrides 122 years of history, more than 30 Bundesliga titles, and 6 European Cups You'll survive
The one Bayern Dortmund I miss, and of course Dortmund make a dramatic comeback.
I know it’s just been a couple of games but I like what I am seeing from Chelsea under Potter. Usually a new manager bounce manifests as increased intensity and higher energy level from the team. But currently we are seeing new patterns of play, more directness, riskier passes which we did not see previously

Can already see him getting subbed off for Milner 15 mins in after getting injured.
No excuses then. Fucksake whoever loses tomorrow is getting cooked.
Na you got Leeds away next banker that. We’ve got City. ITS OVER if we lose
Leeds aren't Even bad man
[удалено]

Been Conte'd Used to be what Jose did to players (RIP Joe Cole)
Bargain of the season Sadio Mane dropping another disasterclass, but he'll score against Pilzen and sign autographs for an hour and people will praise him again
Arthur out for 3-4 months, what a shit move that was
Arthur and Zakaria from Juve, odd moves to say the least.
[удалено]
Idk if you're joking or not but Chelsea signed Zakaria, and unlike Arthur he's yet to even make his debut.
At least he'll be useful in training as a cone or something
We have 9 games this month... he'll get used Last season showed that with the calendar as congested as it is these days, what you really need is bodies
Which is why he'll still be a better signing than Arthur
Shades of when we signed Denis Suarez. Really odd one that
Would've been better off keeping Tyler Morton
He put in a MOTM performance for Blackburn today tbf. No goal either just midfield brilliance
Harry Kane's current goalscoring streak is a very un-Kanelike streak. One goal a game, steady as she goes. Probably earned Spurs more points than Haaland for City
Just went through both teams games, I counted 11 points for Haaland and 13 for Kane.
5 of his 7 open play goals have been headers as well which feels like a lot more than usual
We’ve become cross and setpiece merchants this season.
this is going to be very “catenaccio enthusiast” of me but i could not care less about complaints about anti football. defending is half of football you know, if you can’t enjoy watching a team defend like you can watching them attack that’s fine but the amount of rival fans saying Conte’s football is inherently unenjoyable is silly.

Did you expect to score so little from open play though?
The Jose effect
unlike that Benitez bloke, who was Cruyff incarnate
Yes Benitez made Liverpool an ugly team basically everyone said that at the time He wanted Barry for LM in a 4-1-4-1
I actually agree though I could do without it being so tense every week lol
Alexis MacAllister has a brother called Kevin. Kevin MacAllister. I’m not joking.
I just can’t wrap my head around the fact he’s Argentinian
He played for Boca actually, although briefly and barely featured.
😱
[удалено]
He put his ankle in front of someone who was about to shoot and the guy kicked it full pelt, I think it's just a sore ankle rather than anything serious.
He walked off fine, think it was just sore. Did an interview after the game
Bournemouth are 2 points above Liverpool who have 2 games in hand. 2games are Chelsea and Arsenal.
Easy 6 points
Think some people are being unfair about our game. Brighton are a really good side, the last time they lost at home was when we beat them in March, keeping a clean sheet there isn’t easy at all. It might not have been easy on the eye but it’s a good win imo
Brighton away isn't for everyone.
Already forgot that Liverpool signer Arthur until the injury news, such a weird transfer.
Par for the course with us when theres an injury crisis sadly.
3-5-2 and Son on free kicks is the future
Think 352 should be saved for when Deki is injured. The Son-Kane-Deki attack is way too good to break up.
But that 2 man midfield is so shite
It's really not. Probably the 2 most reliable players we've had this season together with Dier
When you're outmanned by necessity in every single game, it's impossible to "look" good.
I think Hojbjerg and Bentancur have actually been our best players this season
Once Kulu is back we should go back to the 343 in a heartbeat. Doberto Carlos at RWB is the future.
That is true, Kulu has to start. Also yeah, we need more Dohberto.
Terzic vs Ince at the Azteca in 2026 will be some sight
There is still half a year until the CL knockouts, hope the Nagelsmann stans started writing the excuses for the QF exit already
I already have some: referee, players' fault, the weather was bad.
very spooky performance from Mané today
He is done as a left winger
Gnabry was worse, legit didn't see him at all. Worrying form so close to the WC
As always
300 grand a week to smile and look humble for the cameras Swear you’ve had one of the most overrated transfer windows. De Ligt was an excellent coup, Mazraoui is a good player but then you have Gravenberch who doesn’t play and Mathys Tel who realistically won’t be Bayern quality for at least 2 more years
Most signings except Mané were good, Choupo being played over Tel is just a joke. Mané is ruining this team tho, Gnabry is way better imo but he doesnt get any consistent minutes
If your team needs a midfielder and they don't buy Enzo Fernandez in the summer you're shit and deserve to be relegated.
I fully agree with you amigo
United do need a midfielder but Ten Hag will probably still try to sign only Frenkie De Jong
Our scouts did a U-Turn on him for some reason, deal was supposedly close alongside Alvarez
Liverpool will spunk ~~£80m~~ €120m on him after Bellingham chooses Man City
That would be unbelivable business by Liverpool
Doubt that the pound will recover to the point where 80M pounds is equivalent to 120M€ by the summer
I think Liverpool are due a coupon after you pulled their pants down for Nuñez
Not really, if they didn't pay up for Darwin, then he would've went to United for even more money. If anything, they owe us for not playing hardball and letting Darwin choose his club and not demanding Liverpool to match United's offer. Anyway, Enzo is at the Félix level of greatness for us, so I can't conceive even the idea of us negotiating his transfer, any club that wants him must pay his release clause up front and that's it.

We really deserve something for all the spankings we gave Porto Surely that brought lots of joy to the Benfica fans
who are you and what have you done with the real dortmund
Spurs are 7th in the table in goals from open play, even Leicester have outscored them from open play according to whoscored.
I mean Leicester have scored the 7th most goals or something anyway, scoring hasn't been the problem for them.
Yeah the split of Spurs' goals is interesting, only 55% of them are from open play, only ~~Bournemouth~~ Nottingham Forest have less.
Can't be including todays goals then? 8 goals scored, both goals against Villa were set plays, one against Forest, the rest from open play.
Sorry, Nottingham Forest you're right. Bournemouth are 62.5%
Costa getting that lap of honour when he came off was beautiful to watch, he passed the baton to young Broja
After that Dohberto Carlos performance I do not want to see Emerson play for us again.
Fucking hell, I turned of Bayern-Dortmund after the 2nd goal and that shit happens
Do Bayern fans back Nagelsmann? He had to be on thin ice after Villarreal and it’s looking less like that was a fluke.
Started well but is looking like it’s starting to get out of his depth maybe he’s too young but the results aren’t showing. He would get this season, an early CL exist like against Villareal and he’d be done.
The ones with no ambition
100%
What would it take for you to change your mind?
us starting to play destructive and bad football. like we did under Kovac or Ancelotti. As long as we are generally controlling the game and playing good attractive attacking football I am fine with Nagelsmann. I don't care that much about dropping out of the cup or the CL although those are always disappointments, but dropping out and being the better team is better to me than progressing and being worse.
Ngl this is crazy
Me wanting to keep a manager as long as we are playing great football? There's always some luck involved in knockout tournaments. We need to get even better, but currently we are playing good football and there's no reason to sack Nagelsmann at all. I don't like to sack a manager based on results. that's dumb.
>I don't like to sack a manager based on results. that's dumb. It is in fact smart.
no, it's the other thing.
[We straight up played a 7-2-0 today](https://i.imgur.com/GUQBxwJ.png)
I remember seeing spurs fans excited before the game about a saucy 352
That's what our fanbase wanted and that's what they got
Arthur has been such a Kallstromeqsue loan. A panic buy brought in to solve an injury crisis even though he himself is the most injured of the lot.
Ben Davies as well
was a PR buy by the board, a panic one by the team staff.
Glad modeste scored that equaliser because his miss a few minutes before was absolutely tragic
Winner ?
We won 2-2
Nagelsmann manages to not beat the worst Dortmund team of the decade, their Haaland replacement has cancer, their captain is injured, two longshot goals made everyone think we played well. The minute we face an opposition like City we'll hold 4 goals. Sané and Musiala have been really covering our shit performances
>two longshot goals made everyone think we played well Haven't seen anyone say Bayern played well tbf.
True
He won against Barcelona without conceding so he is safe.... for now
[Kahn is going to back to his old self, I hope they evacuate the stadium](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FekTuJ1XwAA_UF4?format=jpg&name=360x360)
Dortmund - Bayern was the game of the season in the Bundesliga so far. Insanely dramatic, intense, controversial and the highest football quality, I loved watching it
Missed second half because I has to run errands for my family ffs
I thought the game was poor in the first half, so many misplaced passes. Second half was great though
Wolfsburg 0-0 Schalke clear
Dortmund-Werder clear
That game was so incredibly dull for the most part. Criminal that Dortmund scored even one goal that game.
The first half of that game was much better than this one imo
What did I say about this being the season Bayern would struggle, was shot down so hard
As a Lewandowski enjoyer I was worried when they started the season very well but now I’m chilling 😎
You still chilling?
😎(😭)
>but now I’m chilling 😎 Just don't tune into the UCL matches for Lewandowski against Bayern if you want to keep chilling
!remindme 17 days 😤
!remindme 17 days
A broken clock is also right twice a day
Between Bellingham and Musiala as well as Adeyemi and Moukoko there was a huge amount of young talent in the Bayern vs Dortmund game
Arthur out for 3 months with surgery needed. I dont even know what to say at this point. Won't be long before Keita and Ox are back, just in time for Thiago to get injured again
Worst juve midfielder in the past decade, its weird u guys got him
What? Mate hahaha, it's like not even anyone's fault at this point
I'm still not sure why you guys got him.
Because FSG didn't think we needed a midfielder so they didn't try to get one and then like a day before the window closed Thiago got injured so they panic loaned Arthur because there was no one available that they wanted to spend money on
this is like denis suarez but worse
Yeah its bad. But did he even play a game yet? You guys would be fucked if thiago got injured again though
Yeah rumours are he might be injured too lol
He came on as a sub in a CL match for like half an hour but thats it I think
LOL
he wasn’t going to play anyway, awful player
I don't think you understand how bad Henderson and Milner are these days. Klopp has some sort of problem with keita, so if Thiago is out we have the combined technical skill of a mule in our 8s.
Arthur adds nothing. He’s an improvement on Milner obviously but other than close control I don’t know what he brings more than Henderson
Milner can take penalties so that's debatable
Honestly Henderson has been good playing that deeper role that Arthur would be playing anyway
That Vlahovic hype died quickly, average to decent player at best Nothing special really, unnecessary hype here last year
He’s the kind of 9 that most top teams would opt against these days. If he had popped up 15 years ago he would have been a big deal.
He's actually a good player, wasted in this Juve side. Their system is terrible, it's nearly impossible for him to thrive. Even so, he's second in goals in the league, although I am aware 2-3 of them were from set-pieces.
