FPLihou

The excuses are starting already 😭

@McHighbury @TimesSport @AlexTG_ @allyrudd_times You also seem to have failed to understand the definition of bottling, but that’s also not entirely surprising based on the intelligence you’ve demonstrated thus far.

@FPLihou @TimesSport @AlexTG_ @allyrudd_times If my team had already bottled it, I wouldn’t be criticising a rival, saying that they might. And I’d would never think that any team would have a “strategy’ to bottle the league. That makes no sense.

Arsenal must stop set-piece obsession and give players licence to thrill Read @allyrudd_times's column ⬇️ thetimes.com/sport/football…

@McHighbury @TimesSport @AlexTG_ @allyrudd_times Currently, but notice how I said it was a strategy for bottling the league? Future tense. I can see how you might not have understood that though.

@FPLihou @TimesSport @AlexTG_ @allyrudd_times Bottling? We’re top of the league you wally. Tottenham bottled it back in September.

@McHighbury @TimesSport @AlexTG_ @allyrudd_times So the only team with a higher percentage than you in the top half of the table is 10th placed Newcastle? Seems like a great strategy for bottling the league again, please continue.

The media must stop this obsession with Arsenal and set-pieces. Publish this: Premier League set-piece goals as % of all goals scored: Spurs 36.11% Newcastle 35.14% Leeds 33.33% Palace 32.14% Arsenal 30.77% Bournemouth 27.91% Wolves 27.78% Man Utd 27.66% Villa 27.03% Sunderland 25.93%

@Ben_White86 @RootsSpurs We’ve got 10 points in the last 14 games, and there’s 15 games left in the season. It’s a very real possibility.

@RootsSpurs I dont think we will. That isnt to say that we've been good or we will go on a run, but the most points any relegated team has had in a decade is 35. We're on 28, so probably need 10 to be safe. Anytning is possible, but personally i dont see us not getting those points.

Spurs fans saying ‘we won’t go down’ are not watching what 99% of us are watching.

@FplCrisis @asim_lfc

@asim_lfc I think it’s linked to us getting Micky in the summer. Can’t wait for VVD and VDV to join forces

The Robbo deal is done me thinks. #LFC

You best start believing in Super Leagues. You're in one.

@BardiTEI Have you heard about NordVPN?

Good. I didn't want to remember anyway.

@BardiTEI @TheRealJonbass When you play football in the mud, you make your worst players look like world beaters. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@TheRealJonbass but he's not really doing what he's paid for haha

Stat gorms in the mud…. What a goal. #COYS

@FPLMatthew Shoppers lining up for Black Friday sales

Do people ever do anything “in their droves” apart from leave football matches early?

@AlasdairGold He will say they are untrue, unloyal, unfaithful or whatever

@BardiTEI @NathanAClark @ClausRond Or if the manager didn’t keep bad mouthing the fans and making sly digs at the previous manager who won us a trophy.

@NathanAClark @ClausRond I'd be ok with being 13th in our first season if there was some symbol of hope in the distance for us to steer towards

@NathanAClark might be the wine talking but do you and @BardiTEI generally believe Spurs have a good squad? Or let me ask another way. Is the squad better than the rest of the top 6? I can’t see it.

@fplplannerau @aboveaveragefpl Doesn’t reach the threshold for clear and obvious error imo.

@aboveaveragefpl Careless = no card, reckless = yellow, serious foul play = red. Watching live it was a reckless challenge, so a yellow seemed appropriate, but on replay, contact was high on the calf with studs, so unfortunately that meets the threshold for serious foul play. Harsh but correct.

A nothing event, just clumsy running behind Van Dijk. Careless yes, reckless…not for me. Whatever

@FPL_Harry Guess when I’m using my FH 👀

Just looked at a plan for GW18 using all 5 of my FTs to buy Double West Ham and Triple Everton. Time to put the phone down I think!

@fplplannerau Keep your fingers crossed for an unexpected illness 😂😂

When both your Star ⭐️ and Killer 💀 are in your team 🫠 #GW16 #FreeHit #FPL

@ben_bowman_ It's the newest edition of the "Thomas Frank try not to make things worse with your press conference" challenge. Literally has had our top goal scorer available all season. Not anyone elses fault he hasn't been able to use him correctly.

Wouldn’t be happy if I was Xavi, Kudus or Muani reading this to be honest. Of course, Kulusevski, Solanke and Maddison are really big misses, but there’s enough resources there now for Frank to be working with to create a functioning attack. There’s not many excuses really.

@Billie_T The marginal gains though 🤔

Wasting half of 4 minutes to swap to a long thrower ain’t it

@ToastFpl You’re crushing it man

Other than Da outscoring Schade, it's a successful Free Hit so far

Can we just please build round these 3 now? Probably not a top progressive passer in there but it’s not like Frank has been prioritising central line breakers anyway These are such Frank midfielders: Gray: Tactically, physically and technically so rounded, covers ground for fun and keeps his composure when he receives after a bursting run Sarr: Outrageous athlete and capability of winning every second ball. Needs refinement which will only come with games Bergvall: Able to drop and progress the ball with long carries, bits of magic in there too. A bit messy sometimes but again GAME time We’re not learning anything new with the other midfielders, these guys are the future

@HarryScarfe22 Can't be the coaches success for 60 minutes and the players failure for 30. Both are part of what we did well and both part of why we failed. Frank far too slow to react to what was happening tonight. Managing your bench is vital in big games.

I stand by this. The players have imploded defensivly.

Never underestimate Thomas Frank. In his career he’s been know for wins against big teams on the road. Frank is and has always has been a big game manager, despite what fans may say.
