Should’ve kept Coutinho as super sub.

needs game time to get fit, next game isnt until 9th feb, really needs minutes.

so another Man City bench warmer, or long term loanee.

nice.

He didnt even back Poch, Jose either got nothing

Compare to Conte, Jose is a calm man and if he doesnt get his way he will walk and will probably sue Spurs as he seems to have a shrewd negotiator doing his contracts

its weird, cus they appear not to back managers to buy players, they offer 15m for Traore, a bag of crisps and Anomah for Grealish, Levy runs the club like a pound shop......but, then they spend:

• 54m on Ndombele
• 38m on Sanchez
• 32m on Sissoko
• 30m on Lo Celso
• 28m on Bergwijn
• 27m on Soldado
• 25m on Sessegnon
• 20m on Janssen

....weirdness personified.....

Why is there 15 mins of ET?

I swear this season there's been more added on time than I can ever remember before.

light failure for 10 mins.

Why would anyone go to that batshit crazy owner's club?

Brucie bonus would lap it up, guaranteed kebabs and a pay off when sacked.......what wouldnt he like about it?

that break was amateur hour, was harder not to score with a 3 on 1, than to mess that up like they did, my word.

omg what a calamity goal that was, 3-0.

It’s not great. The season with the relegation battle obviously skews things a fair bit.

Since our return, Spurs have averaged 1.2 goals conceded per game. Chelsea is 1.1. They’re teams we’re still trying to catch. From a purely statistic point of view, we’re not that far off them in that regard with Mings in the side.

Whether he can be in the side that ultimately catches the likes of Chelsea and Spurs in the top six is of course another question. I think that topic has certainly been debated in here. At the very least I think everyone can agree that a third quality defender to genuinely challenge Mings and Konsa would be required to do that.

i suppose 1.5 isnt as bad as it looks on face value then.

we do need to improve defensively on the whole tho, for sure.

Lovely...

brings a happy tear to your eye....

so the backup generator tripped out, so they are trying to get a backup generator for the backup generator.

Just cancel the game and give Norwich all 3 points for Watford being tinpots.

tbh....the light is fine, its just a little dimmer, just get playing ffs.

omg this is calamitous.

looks like Watford are trying the old "turn main power off for lights, and hope they cancel the match" tactics.

It’s not quite detailed.

I just had a quick look. Assuming it only concerns the league matches -

Villa have played 96 league games since promotion. Conceding 146 goals. That’s 1.52 goals conceded per game.

The 9 games Mings has missed, Villa conceded 21 goals. However, it appears that he went off injured in matches against Leicester in 19/20 and West Ham this season. While he was off the pitch in those games, Villa conceded a further 5 goals. 

So it’s 26 goals conceded in (roughly) 10 games. About 2.6 ppg, give or take.
 

Taking those 26 goals off the total along with those 10 (approximate) games, that’s 120 goals conceded in 86, or about 1.4 ppg.

thanks, interesting stuff.

Still crappy defensive stats from all angles tho

shouldnt this be in other football?, there are no links of us wanting him this window are there? (as this was the old thread from the summer?)

well.

2 without....1.5 with....PER GAME?

both stats are total s***e tbh, if anything all that stat tells us, is our defence/defensive play is freakin poor on the whole.

Rashica is such an underwhelming player after the excitement of us nearly signing him. Doesn't look anything like the player that was described.

yeah but....but....youtube videos boi....

tbh, the best result to try and help get Newcastle relegated, would be a Watford win, as they have more games in hand and are already above Norwich.

that Norwich away kit is awful.

Lol at their little trip to the kingdom - I would be absolutely shitting it, say the wrong thing and they'll chop your feet off. So completely unhelpful to them as well, what a crap idea at this point in the season. 

might improve a few of their players.

probably their plan....

the problem with this one, is i think this will be the first game in a while for them, where DCL & Richarlison will be fit to start together.

Personally, i would sell Luiz in the summer, i dont think he's all that.

Im not saying he is a bad player at all, but i also dont think he's that good either.
