The Barclays Premier League thread 2015/2016

This is what pisses me off about his philosophy. We go behind and then lack any kind of ideas. Are there more than 20mins left? If yes, don't panic, keep knocking it about. If no, send on Fellaini and lump it to him. It's literally as simple as that, and it's shit.

[Kaney]

Good for Vardy. Hope he gets a few more tonight.

[Sam]

We are so boring to watch. I actually read a book for most the 2nd half :/

A point away from home against a title rival is always a decent result, to be fair.

Big mid table six pointer for you tomorrow

It's so surreal to see the words "title rival" used to describe Leicester. I'm loving this season.

Now now, Spurs are 10 points above us. Let's not get carried away with this 'six pointer' talk. We have to chase down West Brom and Watford first.

[Lineker]

Fucking midday kickoffs, it's a Sunday, I should still be asleep.

[Lineker]

As I suspected, Mason starts in place of the suspended Alli. Chelsea are missing Terry and have Costa on the bench.

[stokeriño]

Chelsea team v Tottenham: Begovic; Ivanovic (c), Zouma, Cahill, Azpilicueta; Fabregas, Matic; Willian, Oscar, Pedro; Hazard. #CFC

...  

Welp, we're boned.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

That's an... interesting line-up. Let's hope it's tactical genius, in some way.

[stokeriño]

Saw a thing on Twitter that said that we've won only 1 of the last 11 games in which we've started without a 'recognised' striker, so...

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Probably not then  

[Nerf]

Mou's actually playing for the draw, isn't he? My goodness.

[stokeriño]

I don't think the choice of Costa v Pedro in itself indicates playing for the draw. If we were doing that, Mikel would be in there alongside Matic.

And almost immediately, Begovic takes three knocks to the head (two from Cahill, one from Kane) in quick succession. Oh goodie.

[stokeriño]

Well, that half was fairly even I guess. Spurs' couple of chances were of a higher quality than our couple of chances though.

Pedro and Hazard have been lively, and Willian has been his usual self. If only his corner kick deliveries were even 1/5th as good as his freekick deliveries...

[stokeriño]

I read something yesterday which mentioned that Spurs had the most fouls in the Premier League. With the existence of Stoke etc. (or should I say, Ryan Shawcross etc.) it sort of surprised me. With the number of late/pointless tackles from behind today, I can see what they're talking about.

Looked a nasty roll for Mason there though. At least he's walking.

[Gazz]

Spurs also have the highest number of successful tackles though I believe.

One point each. Of course these days any game where we don't completely shit the bed is most welcome.
