Gameweek 1 Matchday Thread.

Mr.Nice Guy

Pleased with Justin return after a worrying start with the booking. Barnes was very frustrating given the amount of chances he had, but I suppose it's good that he's getting into those areas. Think I have to be patient with him.

Only have Ben Davies in the next one so a 0-0 would be handy.

Don't have anyone in this one but my rivals in my H2H are balls deep in spurs so an Everton 0-1 will do be lovely for many reasons

Lundstram

Justin the door, great to see a 9 pointer.

Thankfully not many if any own Vardy in my leagues.

Davies, Son and DCL up next, I'll take 20 points from that lot.

The penalties are so annoying when you don't own the player.

Anyone with Hojbjerg in their team as a 5m starter?

Him and Winks played in a sort of 'pivot' in preseason, with Hojbjerg often in front of the midfield and behind Kane, hunting down and pressurising opposing defenders. Might be one to watch.


(cue me shouting piiiivooooot as Ross from Friends might say for the next 90 mins)

Ricky should have scored or squared it at least

What was Ben Davies doing there. A let off for Spurs, with Richarlison 1v1

Richarlidson misses a huge chance

Mr.Nice Guy

Hope Mourinho doesn't hook Davies for that.

Nobody even close to a left back in the match day squad to slot in if he did hook him. He'd have to play Son or Winks /Aurier at LB

I think he will pick up a lot of yellow cards

Rodriquez looks like he will be able to release Digne a lot

Mr.Nice Guy

James not far away with that strike.

Jamrod passing the eye rest, Alli not so much. Might make that switch sooner rather than later.

Son should be in double figures by now.

Doherty hasn't done much going forward

Pickford made good save from his shot there

Ali could have scored tbf but its a change ill be making at some stage, like its hard to want an jose attackers ever as the ceiling aint that high.

Would have started with RodQ if i knew he'd start the season

and almost scores!

wanderer100

Doherty should have scored ffs !!

Mr.Nice Guy

More of the same second half would be welcome but I suspect it will open up more.

Everton look tidy

Apparently Mou said before the game that he would rotate Doherty and Aurier... wonder does he mean league games as well as cup.

Just gotta follow the Thursday game really and you will know the answer

2nd Row Donkey

Spurs have a bucket load of games in the opening weeks. 8 in 17 days at one stage. I expect Aurier will be playing alot of europa league and league Cup games.
