GW 15 (12/7 - 12/9) - ***** EVE-LIV PPD, go back to bed

Arsenal really really dangerous on their corners - overloading the back post. You’d think this is something the opposition could counter after seeing how they setup.
Simple as Arsenal having multiple guys who can deliver great corners consistently, and some excellent CBs to get on the end of them. I’m sure there’s secret sauce set piece coaching blah blah blah but they’re great players.
Minteh screws 2 defenders into the ground to ice this for Brighton.
Leicester need a true creative player to organize things and a left back to handle business. That’s a tough shopping list for a January window on a budget. I wonder if they can sort out a Chillwell loan reunion.

Fulham should have just let Arsenal score 15 minutes ago and got on with the business of playing football.
No scratch that...it's offside. This is a tough watch.

I think they offsides rule needs to be updated given the current VAR, and I'm actually okay with the added precision on breakaways that VAR creates. That offsides call is so stupid. Martinelli goes backwards to receive the pass and it's behind a half dozen players.
Arsenal drop two points at the Cottage. Got a bit ill tempered towards the end. Fulham defended for their lives. I've always had a soft spot for Fulham, used to work down that way.
early reports is that he clashed with Berrada over keeping Ten Haag this summer and then wanted Southgate over Amorim.
It could be a smear tactic, as most people know the majority of United fans hated the thought of Southgate coming in. But it’s a bit unsettling that he didn’t even get a whole year to see what he could do.
Antonio has a “lower limb” fracture and undergoing surgery.

What a curious way to describe it. Lower limb?

Getting out of hand.
the objects being thrown appear to be all Spurs colored package wrappers, t shirts, something? Like there was a giveaway and the fans are all throwing the swag?
We could be heading for the Prem’s version of ten cent beer night
They are crumpled up pieces of cardboard that were handed out before the game to form a mosaic.
I don't think Ange can solve the Spursy thing. Not sure who can, or if it's possible under the current club structure. He's made and will make mistakes but there's a softness about Spurs that no manager has been able solve.
True, but that penalty right there is the dumbest fucking thing ever. Palmer's on the edge of the box, back to goal, dribbling away from goal. Threat has been managed. No need to hit the guy with what would be an illegal-block-in-the-back on an NFL punt return.
Credit to Chelsea, their upward trajectory is impressive. They deny it, but they're in a Title Race.
The club structure thing is the big point here. People love to attribute mystical attributes to the soul of a club and maybe they're even right, but how Spurs are right now has a lot more to do with being both an overall quite young team and a shallow squad than with the general concept of Spursiness.
Look at their triple change to try and rescue the match. It was Maddison and two 18 year olds. I quite like both 18 year olds to become real players eventually (Gray's damn near there now), but if yours subs bench and rotation options are the damn Children's Crusade in the festive period then yeah, you're gonna be pretty inconsistent.
