What's new

A mind bending thought.

Here's a mind bender... We actually sold Kane in July, we reinvested the £100m in Vlahovic, Traore and Skriniar, the positivity we had in the first 3 games was still ongoing, and everyone is satisfied with the steady progress of a Nuno rebuild.

Instead we've been sold the emperor's new clothes again, and everyone's angry because we've expected a world class manager to turn a bunch of mid table cloggers into a CL level team.

I'm personally just about done with the same old shite at this club.
But what if Bentancur bangs in a 27yard free kick next week?

Eriksen vs Norwich on 28th Dec 2019 I think.

Kane has scored one free kick in his entire Spurs career and it was a terrible effort that deflected in. I’ve absolutely no idea why he feels he has the right to take all of them. I’d kill to have someone like Ward Prowse or, dare I say, Eriksen.
I cringe everytime he makes that face when he takes the ball from everyone as if to say im the freekick specialist here.

And Son walks away obediently but with a sad looking face.

We all remember the ones that fly in but the reality is if someone as clinical as kane cant get them right, when he is pretty powerful and accurate, then the average player is just turning over possession by taking them and trying to score at this level.

Think there was a training clip a few years back showing Dier smashing the free kicks in.

Think he's got it in his locker, maybe doesn't back himself matchdays, but I'm surprised we've not seen him try a few considering our goal return in this area.

He scored one for England and he has has taken a few for us as well, with no success.

This is the only recent instance I can think of where a free kick actually led to a goal.

In all honesty, we've never really had many direct free kick specialists. Bale, Gazza and Hoddle are the only ones I really remember.

True. But we didn’t know Poch made him play on the whole season with an injury that needed surgery. He’s have got a much easier ride if we’d have known that.
Are you new here?

Even if we'd known that there would have been those here banging on about a random 19 year old smashing it up in the Armenian 3rd tier who we should replace him with on the basis of FIFA/Football manager
