Maddison and injuries, no one saw that coming.

[–] freudsfather@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mate, it's Tottenham.

[–] Nadrojj@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Always sad to see a player get hurt, he was cooking for them.

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.

[–] EdgeOfTheWorld1997@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] NewTitle9528@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] CuteHoor@alien.top 1 points 1 year 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.

[–] UnKarl_Marx@alien.top 1 points 1 year 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

4 points in 7?

Sure, Jan.

What watching so much anime does to a mf

[–] blue_boy_24@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

Wolves away is suddenly looking a lot more tricky than it did a week ago

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.

Theres always next season.

[–] JessyPengkman@alien.top 1 points 1 year 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

Thats ferrari motto

A serious miss for them.

Guess we see now how good they are!

How the fuck has one 10 minute spell ruined our entire season

[–] Virusaurus@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Happened to united last season too. Marrinez, varane and garnacho all out when firing so hot coming into the biggest games. Spuds

[–] zxnoregretzxzx@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

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.

[–] grey_hat_uk@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They've got the top 3 scoring teams in their next 5 games with a weakened backline, that sort of thing can knock confidence quite a bit.

[–] noob_wins@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Just imagining Saruman watching Spurs-Chelsea on the Palantir has me cracking up

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.

Arsenal : first time ?

[–] kruegerc184@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] BannedFromHydroxy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Tottenham 🤝 Arsenal 🤝 Bottling the league due to injuries

[–] SirFox14@alien.top 1 points 1 year 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).

[–] brahim1997@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (6 children)

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

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 1 year 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

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 1 year ago (12 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...

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

[–] Hufftey@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The amount of people so gleeful about injuries for us is quite distasteful
