Latest / Draft Offsides Podcast / #6 The Daily Commute from Luton to Wembley
Transcript
- 0:06Hello and welcome to episode 6 of Draft Offsides.
- 0:10I'm with Tico and Enzo. My name is Keith.
- 0:12Geez, what a rough day for a Chelsea fan.
- 0:15How are you guys doing? I'm excellent.
- 0:18It was a great day yesterday for me.
- 0:21Not so bad in my fantasy, depending on what happens
- 0:23tomorrow, but I'm excellente, so excellente.
- 0:27The the fitted sound of Keith, the Chelsea fan, and the
- 0:30exciting sound of Enzo, the Tottenham fan.
- 0:33And then there is me, neutral. Who?
- 0:36Those good games, I enjoyed it. I was saying this before you got
- 0:38on Tika, but I just today was this whole weekend was like a
- 0:42big hour. Like we we all we we lost that
- 0:44parlay bet. Chelsea lost.
- 0:46I think I'm gonna lose both my fantasy matchups.
- 0:49I just can't. I just can't win a thing.
- 0:52There's no positives. There's no positive takeaways
- 0:54from this weekend. Well, at least you're not gonna
- 0:56lose to Kyle. Which looks like I'm gonna lose
- 0:58to Kyle after all the shit talking we did about his.
- 1:01Team Yeah, yeah, that that's unfortunate.
- 1:04I'm completely about Kyle's team.
- 1:07It's like an anomaly. Don't get it.
- 1:10How is he even winning? It's really it.
- 1:13Just. Proves to you, when it comes to
- 1:15fantasy, it's better to be lucky than good.
- 1:18Truly. And it's so early in the season,
- 1:20we can't. We like you don't wanna.
- 1:24Put too much weight on the first first two weeks, you know, So
- 1:27there's so much that can happen. And change any big takeaways
- 1:30from this weekend, guys? Any like big picture, not like
- 1:32specific specific teams or specific players, but more just
- 1:36like big themes. VAR seems to be a big take this
- 1:41season. Day off fucking up tremendously
- 1:45even yesterday insulting game I thought they were gonna give
- 1:47away a penny in and they didn't. It's been a it's been a little
- 1:50bit weird and there was another one today weren't there for.
- 1:54Was it in the Chelsea West Ham game?
- 1:55Was there a penalty? Oh, yeah, you.
- 1:58Oh, no. Oh, wait, yeah, it was given.
- 2:00And then ends up another. Missed it.
- 2:02No, no, no, you're right. No, I wasn't bringing Oaks
- 2:05today, but you missed it. You're right, definitely.
- 2:08Never let an Enzo take a penalty.
- 2:12I try to warn everyone do not trust an Enzo he.
- 2:15Did. It's.
- 2:17Yeah, it's. It looks like it's gonna be a
- 2:18year with a lot of yellow cards, just because.
- 2:22They're cracking down on talking to the referees and a lot of the
- 2:25people, they just get talk. They who talk.
- 2:27They get the yellow and then when they do challenge they get
- 2:30the second yellow on the red card.
- 2:32How many this weekend? I wasn't there like 2-3 games
- 2:34where there were down to 10 people, and also with the
- 2:37injuries as well. It seems like it's going to be
- 2:39here with a lot of injuries all across every Major League, which
- 2:43is kind of weird. Two of them from watching.
- 2:45Two of them go fuck, you know. A lot of, yeah.
- 2:49It's like the like a lot of dissent yellows.
- 2:51Yeah, it's it's about, it's a war zone out there as far as
- 2:53between injuries and people getting Reds and just the
- 2:57waivers are gonna be a fight this week.
- 3:00It'd be interesting if as the year goes down, if they kind of
- 3:03loosen up a little bit on cracking down on the yellows for
- 3:06talking too much with with the referees, Maybe they want to
- 3:09send a message from the get go and then throughout the season
- 3:11they'll. Listen that up.
- 3:13Be interesting to watch. Or players realize they can't
- 3:16get away with it. You know they they might have
- 3:18been kind of pushing their boundaries and now they're
- 3:19starting to realize I can't do that.
- 3:22Alright let's get into the matches.
- 3:24So this kick off the week on Friday it was not in force 2
- 3:28Sheffield United one. We don't need to cover too much
- 3:31in this game. What did you guys, did you guys
- 3:34watch it? What you guys think?
- 3:36Watch the highlights. It wasn't it wasn't a bad game.
- 3:39It wasn't a great game. Pretty flat, I'll be honest.
- 3:45I watched the second-half. It was whatever you expected
- 3:48expected it to be. Nothing too exciting.
- 3:49It was kind of back and forth. Nothing really stood out for me
- 3:53in that game except that Kyle picked up Tywa.
- 3:59How do you pronounce the last name?
- 4:01Yeah, and he scored within the first 3 minutes.
- 4:03So that's what I was going up against.
- 4:06This So you were just feeding from the start?
- 4:08I watched the whole game, I thought.
- 4:10There like a couple takeaways. One is I think I won't.
- 4:12He's gonna get goals and I think if he's still undrafted in your
- 4:16if if he's still on the waivers, you should absolutely pick him
- 4:18up. I didn't play on videos on one
- 4:21of my benches and I really regret that.
- 4:24The other two, the other thing I took away from this game was the
- 4:28the fact that Forrest is playing a like a wingback system.
- 4:32So Serge Aurie A scored a lot of points this week and he probably
- 4:36won't score 28 plus points again.
- 4:39But. Like that he's him and Neca
- 4:42Williams on the left side are they're both gonna get forward a
- 4:44lot. So those might be guys like
- 4:46streaming pickups for for defense that are worth it.
- 4:50And the other thing too is I think Gibbs White is really
- 4:52good. Like, he literally didn't get an
- 4:54assist, didn't get a goal, but he's still scoring.
- 4:56Like tons and tons of points. Cuz he's just so involved in
- 4:58this team. So I think like, he might be a,
- 5:01he might be someone that is worth keeping an eye on for
- 5:04trades down the road, because I think he's just like gonna be a
- 5:06stud all season long. The other thing, Matt Turner,
- 5:09people were so excited to see him play, The American got
- 5:12scored on, so that was a bummer. But he also made a few good
- 5:14saves. But I think this weekend, their
- 5:19first game as well. It's not like he's letting in
- 5:21easy goals. They're bangers he had to like.
- 5:25The the second goal they scored that was a banger from outside
- 5:27with the top. Corner I.
- 5:29Not much you could do about. It general sense with Turner is
- 5:32that he's a pretty good, like, shop stopper.
- 5:34His issue is he's not, like great with his feet.
- 5:36So, like, that's why some of these teams kind of overlook him
- 5:38because now every single goalie needs to be a freaking magician
- 5:40with their feet. OK, next next game, Fulham 0,
- 5:44Brentford 3. What do you guys think?
- 5:46It's fucking whistling on Bumble again.
- 5:48They're no Tony. No problem, huh?
- 5:50No Tony, no problem man. They're not.
- 5:53It's not like they're winning one nil.
- 5:55They're banging in goals. They scored two goals against
- 5:57Tottenham last game, which is good opponents, and then they
- 6:00scored three. Granted off to 6-4 minutes down
- 6:03to 10 men, but Whistler and they could add more.
- 6:05I watched that game. They could add more.
- 6:08OK, but the Tottenham game, the goals were a little fluky,
- 6:11right? We've kind of discussed that.
- 6:12Yeah, yeah, One was an ongoal and one was a penalty.
- 6:14But regardless, you take your chances where you can get them.
- 6:17Cuz this game to me was tighter than it looked until the red
- 6:20card. And the red card was like a
- 6:22double jeopardy fell in the box. Red second you know so that so I
- 6:27don't know. I'm not like I'm not jumping on
- 6:29the Brentford train quite yet. I think they're still gonna be
- 6:32pretty good. But I'm not like and I'll be
- 6:35all. Trading for with Bebo type vibes
- 6:39yet? Same I'm actually, I'm more
- 6:41disappointed in full hum this year.
- 6:44I know they lost their striker but I thought Jimenez will be
- 6:46able to do something but has been non existent.
- 6:51William didn't. William did not get the start
- 6:53this year at this game here Wilson.
- 6:56So I don't know. Part of me feels like they might
- 6:58be actually battling for relegation and they'll be in the
- 7:01relegation conversation or bottom of the league for this
- 7:05coming year. Not impressed by?
- 7:07Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I like I said it was,
- 7:08it's tighter. It was tighter than the score
- 7:10looked. But I kind of agree.
- 7:11I think they need to figure some of stuff out quick.
- 7:13I think that that defense is just a little scary and now
- 7:17they're gonna be without their cop in for the next game.
- 7:20So who do they have? I'm trying to look what's their,
- 7:23their matchups. I've seen Arsenal, City, Luton.
- 7:27Yeah. So it's Arsenal.
- 7:29Yeah. I I don't know.
- 7:30There's not many, there's not many assets on on full that I'm
- 7:33super keen on now, huh? Yeah, they're probably gonna
- 7:36lose all those games. Probably fading fading muscle
- 7:40full and I have I have Robinson and one of my teams
- 7:43unfortunately started this week. I'm probably he's probably not
- 7:45gonna be see the light of day for a while until he shows me
- 7:48something different but in Benbow and Wissa again continue
- 7:52to score a second second game in a row a row where that each each
- 7:55have scored a goal. Couple of the midfielders for
- 7:58Brett Ford scored really high too, like Jensen.
- 8:03Are we, are we like keen on their assets?
- 8:05Are we like trying to acquire or?
- 8:07Talk about that later. Talk about that later in a in a
- 8:11future segment. All right, moving down the line.
- 8:13Liverpool three, Bournemouth one.
- 8:17And so you were watching this game, right?
- 8:18Tico You were as well. It's kind of one of those games
- 8:20where it's fun because Liverpool went down early and they were
- 8:22kind of forced to really put their foot on the gas it.
- 8:25Was bloody weird at the beginning.
- 8:27Bloody weird, Alison. I don't know what he was doing.
- 8:29He's in two minds. He got a quick yellow real
- 8:31quick. Like slide tackling.
- 8:33I can't remember who it was, but you slide, tackle somebody and
- 8:37then the goal, just out of nowhere, it was some mistakes in
- 8:41defense. They weren't comfortable, didn't
- 8:42seem comfortable. Liverpool, didn't look like
- 8:44Liverpool. But then, as soon as that goal
- 8:45went in, they turned it on. My favorite version of Liverpool
- 8:50is when they're they go down the goal early because then just
- 8:53it's free for, hey, everyone just attacks.
- 8:56They look good, they're creating chances, they're attacking with
- 8:59the fast pace. I McAllister is the one to me
- 9:05it's he's kind of not played up to his potential.
- 9:09But I also do think it once they get a defensive midfield it will
- 9:12free up the wings to kind of go up and down more as well.
- 9:15And he'll he'll probably tighten up the defense because they have
- 9:19no problems scoring goals. They have no problem attacking.
- 9:21It's just kind of they get caught on the counter attacks,
- 9:24especially with Trent and Robertson going up as well.
- 9:28You mean they picked up a defensive?
- 9:30Ten dog. Do they play?
- 9:32He came on. When there were 10 people, he.
- 9:34Came on, didn't do anything. He came on when they're down to
- 9:3710. Yeah, he came down after
- 9:39Mccoster got got the red. The I can't say his name.
- 9:44Keith helped me out with this. You're the.
- 9:45Slowest lie. He's been very good, has been
- 9:48excellent for them. It's you don't see making a lot
- 9:52of mistakes. He get he comes down, helps on
- 9:53defense, is involved in the attack, doesn't newly loose
- 9:56possession once tackles. He had a couple of shots from
- 10:00outside the box as well, so he's kind of taking taking it more.
- 10:04I just think he's going to get better and better as the year
- 10:06goes on. Luis Diaz is is playing
- 10:09phenomenal jolters, taking all that limelight away from Gatpo.
- 10:13Gatpo needs to get out that attacking midfield role.
- 10:15He really needs to take over where Joe is because I think he
- 10:17do. He do everything that Joe is
- 10:19doing, maybe a little bit better, but Joe's just Joe is
- 10:22doing his job. He's doing his job.
- 10:26Yeah, I mean, it's gonna be hard to displace him when he just
- 10:28keeps scoring and keeps performing well.
- 10:30The Gakbo thing is really alarming.
- 10:32Just like, I think the worst part is, is that, like, Klop's
- 10:34really happy with what he's doing and they don't really have
- 10:36the personnel. And like, you were just thinking
- 10:39right when you were thinking, oh, we have Endo.
- 10:41Like Endo's coming in, Mccall's here can play higher.
- 10:43Gakbo can replace Jotep, conceivably McCall, Sergo goes
- 10:47against a red. So now we're just right back to
- 10:49Gakbo playing on midfield next week too, I bet you know.
- 10:54So, and he just, I mean, he doesn't look bad in that
- 10:57position, but he's just not scoring.
- 10:59Yeah, he's not. Points for fantasy.
- 11:01Like, I don't. I don't think he's necessarily
- 11:02like, like playing poorly. I wouldn't drop him or maybe try
- 11:06to trade him at this point. Maybe.
- 11:07Yeah, most Allah missed the penalty.
- 11:11Scored a goal. I fucking called it, right?
- 11:14We. You guys see that?
- 11:15I fucking called it. I knew he was walking up and I
- 11:17was like, this motherfucker's gonna miss.
- 11:19He's gonna fucking miss. And he fucking missed.
- 11:21He got so lucky that ball bats to his feet.
- 11:23And he's still got minus points for missing a penalty.
- 11:25That fucking idiot. Just fucking bang it in the net,
- 11:27man. Don't think he's that good of a
- 11:29penalty taker. Don't.
- 11:31Yeah, but are you really gonna take penalties off him?
- 11:33Like, who's? No one's taking penalties off at
- 11:36Liverpool. Give the gag boy.
- 11:38He fucking needs it for his fucking confidence.
- 11:42Then what about Bournemouth? I really like Salon K He, he
- 11:45seems always kind of do well and show up.
- 11:47I think it's just the team around him just kind of holds
- 11:49him back a little bit. They're in trouble now cuz
- 11:51Billing look like picked up an injury in that game.
- 11:53And they just signed Tyler Adams, but he's injured as well,
- 11:56so he's it's gonna be a little while before he cuts comes into
- 11:58play. Both that they're both their
- 12:00fullbacks are good that Kirk is and Aaron's.
- 12:03They're both good. They'll hold.
- 12:04They're holding it down, but they can't do on their own
- 12:06because those center bags they got.
- 12:09There's more holes in that defense than Swiss Cheese mate.
- 12:11Yeah, they're playing Tottenham next week.
- 12:12I'm not super keen on anyone on that team against Tottenham.
- 12:15Gonna bang it in, bro. Especially I think the defenders
- 12:18might be the only ones really available that you'd be
- 12:20interested in, and I'm not super keen on playing any board with
- 12:23defenders. They should start just in
- 12:25Kluver. He's much better.
- 12:27He he will be more efficient and he will help out my fancy team
- 12:31as well if he gets the whole. You don't even know anything
- 12:34about Justin Kleiner, and he keeps saying his bloody name
- 12:38wrong. It's Clivert.
- 12:39It's not cluvert. I pronounced it the way I
- 12:42pronounce it. You pronounce it?
- 12:43Do you pronounce it all? Right mate.
- 12:45We're very liberal with our pronunciations on this show.
- 12:48We are very liberal with, you know, the Brune.
- 12:51What about the Liverpool defense?
- 12:53Like Bourne myths, Not the biggest challenge in the world,
- 12:55but they are gonna be facing more challenging opponents in
- 13:00coming weeks. They have what Newcastle next
- 13:01week. I'd be a little nervous starting
- 13:05like, you know Trent, you're always obviously gonna start.
- 13:09But like some of the other guys on that Liverpool back line, I
- 13:12would not love seeing that, especially the way Liverpool
- 13:14plays a highline and the way Newcastle absolutely demolish as
- 13:18Awesome Villa with that highline and game, game week one.
- 13:20Like I'm not looking forward to having any Liverpool defenders.
- 13:24What do you guys think? Yeah, play Van Dyke.
- 13:26Probably that's it. But it all depends on.
- 13:30Endo playing and how well he plays a 30 year old can he hack
- 13:33it in the Premiership? Because they've got no one
- 13:35cleaning up that midfield, all the loose balls.
- 13:37It's they just they're breaking through that midfield like it's
- 13:39nothing to the walls of the vendors.
- 13:41Like Robinson's not doing anything wrong.
- 13:42I don't think Van Dyke's doing from or can I?
- 13:44I just think they're getting outnumbered once it gets up
- 13:46there, like you said, that high press or Newcastle, which they
- 13:48love to bloody do at the moment, it's gonna be tough on them.
- 13:51I read a tweet online where it said looks like this year
- 13:54Liverpool will either win or lose every game 5/3.
- 13:57And they're well for it. And that's how it kind of looks
- 14:00like it's gonna be exciting games.
- 14:02Who do you guys think gets dropped when Endo gets inserted
- 14:05into the starting lineup when McAllister is back from his red?
- 14:09On paper jotter stats Gakpo. Yeah, I mean, if Jotter keeps
- 14:15doing what Klopp wants him to do, it might be just a battle
- 14:17between him and Gakpo for that starting that top spot.
- 14:21But it all depends. I mean, it might be that.
- 14:23Gakpo Klop wants him so badly to play that he's playing him out
- 14:26of position just to have him on the pitch.
- 14:28Just, you know, not in the field, you know.
- 14:30Yeah. So I don't know, it'll be
- 14:31interesting to see how that how that plays out.
- 14:34But yeah, I think Diaz is pretty locked in now.
- 14:37I think obviously Saul is really locked in.
- 14:39I think it's gonna be, it's gonna be in that central, that's
- 14:43central, central attacking spot where there's that shift.
- 14:46Enzo is raising his hand in celebration because he called
- 14:49Diaz from the. Yeah, we I had Gakpo.
- 14:52Tico had Nunez, who has he played like he's for like 2
- 14:55minutes. He's about 10 minutes of 1 game.
- 14:57When the cows who got the red, I knew he wasn't coming in.
- 14:59I was so upset. It's like at least like you
- 15:01know, place 20-30 minutes might get a tap in.
- 15:03It's a long season and so it's a long season.
- 15:05I wouldn't be celebrating too early.
- 15:06He'll get injured, yes. Yes, yeah, that's gonna say to
- 15:09you. Celebrating that, celebrating
- 15:11now why I can He's only got injured once checked as if like
- 15:13he's doctors No he's not Mr. Doctors.
- 15:16No, he only got injured once when he came back.
- 15:18All right. All right.
- 15:19Let's move on. To the next game, Wolverhampton
- 15:23Wanderers won Brighton Hove Albion 4.
- 15:28Man. Again, Brighton's just really
- 15:31good, right? We just we're back to where we
- 15:33were last week. We are sweet.
- 15:36I know I said they were gonna be bad because they lost so many
- 15:39players in the last couple years and they haven't really replaced
- 15:41that many of them. They just added a few pieces
- 15:43here and there. But they've, if you're gonna
- 15:45talk about good business, they've sold so many players for
- 15:49good money and they've stayed. I'm paved.
- 15:52Matoma is. I'm surprised he won't be there
- 15:54too much longer. That's another one they're gonna
- 15:56sell. But he is classed that run into
- 15:58the box that can't finish into the bottom right.
- 16:01Oh my God, it was sexy. That was an all time goal, huh?
- 16:04That was just totally an all time.
- 16:06Do you want a minute to yourself?
- 16:07No, I'm good. I had my minutes myself when I
- 16:09watched the game. It was a close game, but what
- 16:11was it like 1 Zero in the first half, right?
- 16:14I had my laptop and I was watching the Liverpool game on
- 16:16the big screen. I was watching this game on my
- 16:18laptop. And half time I put it to
- 16:20charge. I went to get the laptop back
- 16:22and I opened it and it's three. One, I'm like, what the hell
- 16:25happened that in the 1st 10 minutes of the second-half?
- 16:27That they just scored three goals in a row, went back,
- 16:30watched it and they're good, man.
- 16:32The style they played, they're attacking, They're Estupin
- 16:37Purvis called by his first name. He scored a banger as well right
- 16:41away on Enzo's team. He drafted him.
- 16:44Did you get him late or did you get him early?
- 16:46Like fourth round, fifth round, fourth round.
- 16:48Or yeah, it's been a good pick. So installing March, man, we
- 16:52thought after losing all those players, he won't be able to
- 16:54duplicate last year, but he's he's off to a better start.
- 16:58I actually have some numbers on Brighton that I'll go over later
- 17:02when we cover them, talk about them or take a deeper knife.
- 17:07You know what? I watch that game pretty
- 17:09intensely and like wolves. Did not look bad again like you
- 17:13know I think they they that one goal which was like kind of this
- 17:16is more of an amazing run for Metoma and then the second-half
- 17:18like they let it another goal they just looked like they
- 17:21weren't sharp right when they came out.
- 17:23It happened within the first 5 minutes and then the the other
- 17:26two goals they let in were like like complete.
- 17:28Like they lost the ball and Brighton just countered so
- 17:31quickly and that they just, you know, like Wolser is pushing so
- 17:34far up trying to score and they lost the ball and Brighton
- 17:37countered and scored so. Yeah, but it was also, it was
- 17:40also bad defending kief. You What's the first rule of
- 17:43defending kief? I know this.
- 17:46Go on, say it. When in doubt, whack it out.
- 17:49When in doubt. Whack it.
- 17:51No, that's the second. That's the no, no, that's the
- 17:53second rule. The first rule was stay goal
- 17:55side. But that they would.
- 17:57They weren't even they. They they were in possession.
- 17:58Wolves were in possession. Wolves were high, high up the
- 18:00field, threatened, won the ball back, and then hit, hit.
- 18:03Long balls are kind of played quickly through them and played
- 18:06through the transition to just punish them.
- 18:09Keep They're professional footballers.
- 18:11And those? They're two, no.
- 18:12Goals side. They're two no down.
- 18:14They're pushing. It's like you're gonna make
- 18:15yourself vulnerable when you're 2 no down, you're trying to
- 18:17push. And that's what I'm saying at
- 18:19that point, it wasn't like the two extra, the two goals and the
- 18:22two ladder goals didn't really change my opinion on Wolves is
- 18:25what I'm saying. Like, obviously they didn't
- 18:28defend well. Yeah, I'm just saying if you
- 18:33stay, if they stay, goal side on that tap in that Sony March had
- 18:36because he he had like half a yarn.
- 18:39And Sony March isn't the fastest player in the world.
- 18:41Use your body, pull his arm down, get in front of him.
- 18:45That's all you gotta do in my opinion.
- 18:46I just think one of those goals was about defending.
- 18:49There was counter attacks but. I think I'm still hot on CUNY
- 18:52and I'm still hot on Netta for Wolves, so I'm still.
- 18:56So think they're both got the other thing that was really
- 18:57interesting with Brighton is that they made like a bunch of
- 19:00changes to their attack, to their lineup after Week 1.
- 19:04So this is where we're kind of talking about.
- 19:06I think I mentioned it last week.
- 19:07I'm like, is this gonna be the new city where they're just
- 19:09like, there's so much rotation in the team that it's hard to,
- 19:11like, really depend on anyone? What's the name of their
- 19:13manager? Deserby Roberto Deserby.
- 19:16He's doing amazing things over there, man.
- 19:18It's a great culture he's created and that's what it is.
- 19:22They all know their job. Do you guys think that?
- 19:25Danny Welbeck state It keeps his starting that position for a
- 19:28while. Or you think they're gonna
- 19:29eventually bench him? Eventually, but he's been.
- 19:33Honestly, he didn't do bad either.
- 19:34He took a few shots that didn't go in, dug around some.
- 19:37Alright, saves are pretty much at the goalkeeper.
- 19:39But if he doesn't start, if they don't, if they're not winning
- 19:43games like this every week, which I don't think they're
- 19:45gonna do if I could be wrong, been wrong before, but if
- 19:49they're not banging in goals. Like this every week.
- 19:52They gotta find it from somewhere else.
- 19:53And who better? And then Ferguson.
- 19:56You know what? I think that's just gonna be
- 19:57rotation. I think maybe Ferguson starts
- 19:59next week and then Welbeck starts.
- 20:00Ferguson might start next week, score two goals and then Welbeck
- 20:03starts the week after. I think.
- 20:04I think deserve is just totally like mixing and matching,
- 20:08depending on the depending on the teams.
- 20:10I also just want to point out Breton's had two games.
- 20:13Neither of them were against like the best cream of the crop
- 20:17opposition. So I'm still kind of holding a
- 20:19little bit of judgment, cuz I think they might, I mean
- 20:21obviously they're they're quite good, but I think they're
- 20:23they're looking a lot better than maybe they will by the end
- 20:28of season. Let me quote Enzo.
- 20:29Just like he says you gotta take care of business.
- 20:31Doesn't matter who the opponent, it's true.
- 20:33You gotta take care of business and and they've done so
- 20:37convincing. For one and for one.
- 20:40And they play. They play the Mighty Hammers.
- 20:42Next week, the mighty, mighty Hammers, I mean, they're Hammers
- 20:48are pretty good. We just learned today.
- 20:50So OK, move it on, move it on. Next.
- 20:54Next game, Tottenham Hotspur 2, Manchester United 0.
- 21:00Enzo, you wanna give a little shout or?
- 21:03Not we love you that when we were watching it together,
- 21:05because I know we watched it together and you guys are trying
- 21:06to talk to me, I was doing my best to be polite and I'll tell
- 21:09you guys, I shut the fuck up. I'm watching my boys.
- 21:13I could tell you it was. Angie's football finally
- 21:17translated, but I think it's and I said this last week, I think
- 21:20it's more to do with the formation we went against.
- 21:22Don't get Rob banging ice. They didn't have their striker,
- 21:25they didn't have their mighty Hoyland on there, but they're
- 21:28playing four at the back and honestly, that game could have
- 21:31went either way. They hit the crossbar.
- 21:34Vicario turned into an amazing Italian goalkeeper out of
- 21:37nowhere, cuz last week he was fucking skeptical.
- 21:41But this week we played well. We created chances.
- 21:44I think the the change in the midfield, taking skip off and
- 21:46add in Saw. I know he scored, but even if he
- 21:49didn't score, the way he was turning and attacking that
- 21:52midfield, that's something that I haven't seen since the
- 21:54Pochatino days. It was, it was good football, it
- 21:58was good attacking football, It was fun to watch.
- 22:01But we still got sure of that defense and stop these shots
- 22:04from going in. Perfectly honest.
- 22:06Yeah, but sumo looked really good too.
- 22:08I mean, if he's someone suddenly that he was driving an U Doggie
- 22:11was also driving with the ball. I thought they both looked
- 22:13really good. Pedro Poyo was this came in
- 22:16surprisingly after Edison Royal, we thought played pretty.
- 22:19Emerson Royal we thought played pretty well, but he looked
- 22:24really good too. I think he actually might take
- 22:26that well. He's saying he's he's just
- 22:28trying plays out. He he wants to see how they fit
- 22:30into the style that he wants to play.
- 22:32So he's. Remember he still knew he's.
- 22:34I had a few preseasons, gave up preseasons, presets.
- 22:36We already spoke about that. So now he's he's he's doing it
- 22:39early. He isn't set onto one team
- 22:41obviously. Obviously he's gonna have his
- 22:43core players but he's throwing in players like Hoyberg came on.
- 22:45I thought he was going to Affleck on Madrid.
- 22:47Honestly I think he was the. I love Hoyberg, but I think he
- 22:50was the worst player on the pitch that day.
- 22:52You know he did his job but he gave away the ball a couple
- 22:54times. But yeah, I think this.
- 22:58A Spurs team if they keep on going where they're going, they
- 23:01keep the vent and we can bang in goals cuz the goals aren't
- 23:03coming from upfront, they're coming from the midfield and
- 23:05defense. So we we do that and win games
- 23:08against teams like Man United. Who?
- 23:10Who from what Roy Keen said is the new Spurs and don't know if
- 23:13I feel offended or could laugh about it, but yeah, are you
- 23:17relieved? Maybe.
- 23:18I was really, really serious. Means you're no longer the
- 23:20Spurs? No.
- 23:21We'll always be Spurs, man. Always be Spursy.
- 23:24Spurs looked impressive. Especially after the first week
- 23:26where in the middle was kind of like a cluster mess.
- 23:28We talked about it last week. They utilized doings as well.
- 23:33They did a lot of their damage from the left side.
- 23:34They were always pushing out the somo you dog he was going up and
- 23:38son was more involved but you probably you want to see him on
- 23:41the ball as more you want to see him being more aggressive.
- 23:44Madison had another great outing.
- 23:47Rich her listen up top. Jesus.
- 23:48Christ got shot. I did not think he played that
- 23:51bad. You were.
- 23:52You kept saying how bad he was, but I thought he he was just
- 23:55leaking up play and every single time they lost the ball he was,
- 23:58he was pushing like very quickly and just putting pressure on
- 24:02United and like that's what Angela wants him to do.
- 24:04So I think the goals will come, but.
- 24:06I hope the goals would come, but it seems like he fell down more
- 24:09onto the ground than he had shot the shot on goal.
- 24:11Oh, we didn't talk about that, right?
- 24:13We talked about how it felt like everyone was slipping.
- 24:15Yeah, it's like the whole. He was falling down for no
- 24:17fucking reason. He doesn't know how to play with
- 24:19his back towards towards goal. That's why I see you remember
- 24:22how Harry Kane would drop or. Any top strike would drop.
- 24:26They touch the ball, hold it, control it, wait for the support
- 24:29and give and go. It was bouncing off his knee,
- 24:33his chest. He couldn't control the ball.
- 24:35He needs to. He needs to practice that in
- 24:37training and learn how to play with his back to goal.
- 24:39Cuz that's that's how he's gonna get his goals is by controlling
- 24:42it, holding up play, give it off and give and go.
- 24:45That's how he's gonna get in there, but.
- 24:47Has he ever played like? No, that's the problem.
- 24:49That's not, that's not, I don't think, playing off.
- 24:52Up top is where he's gonna play, but we got no one else to play
- 24:56there besides that valise kid. But he's playing at the under 20
- 24:59ones at the moment. He ain't get a start so I think
- 25:02we need one more center back and one more striker and I think
- 25:05we'll be set. But is that the style your
- 25:08manager like? Well, that's what that's what
- 25:10he's doing. It seems with the center
- 25:12forward, I can't unless he's not listening to the manager.
- 25:14And if he's not listening to the manager, then get off.
- 25:17I thought they looked a lot better when they took him off
- 25:19and they started son up top. I thought that was the game,
- 25:24just statically looked more fluid with the passing and the
- 25:26movement than with the return. Listen on there, Born with next
- 25:30week, I feel like started all your talking about sets, right?
- 25:33That's a good, good match up. Let's talk to United for a
- 25:36second. I think we were all shocked
- 25:39Arnacho got the start again right now, Like pretty pretty
- 25:44much a passenger again, right? Yeah, I think.
- 25:46I think the people are starting to turn out, the United fans
- 25:48starting to turn on him a little bit.
- 25:49It seemed like too on Twitter and stuff like they're just
- 25:52starting to be a little frustrated and unhappy.
- 25:54Honestly, Sancho didn't really do that that much once he came
- 25:57on either. When he came on for ganatra, I
- 25:59thought that was gonna be a good one, but he seemed to be
- 26:03stagnant. When he got the boys feet.
- 26:05He wasn't running at players like he usually does.
- 26:09Bruno was gonna do Bruno things. That audacious assist he tried
- 26:14to rasher? That went in Bloody hell.
- 26:17That's golden. That's a nomination for golden
- 26:20season. Puffy, honest.
- 26:21Just for the assist and he had that free header that he just
- 26:24hit super wide. I think it's like it seems like
- 26:27that Fernandez and Ashford are just the whole United team as
- 26:31far as making things happen. Garnacho and Anthony are not not
- 26:34giving them anything on the wings.
- 26:36Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, and I was kind of.
- 26:39I had a good chuckle with that Martinez own goal.
- 26:41I feel like he's such like she's so beloved by United fans, so
- 26:44whenever we see him fail, it makes me really happy.
- 26:47Yeah. Did you guys hear the quotes
- 26:49after the game for 10 Hug? Yeah, I listened to some of it.
- 26:53What is this so specific? No, just he he was kind of
- 26:58emphasizing. So it makes now you guys see why
- 27:01we bought a striker and obviously if you have a striker
- 27:04you put a Rashtra on the left, it's going to.
- 27:07Solve a lot of issues, but I feel like it's like putting a
- 27:09Band-Aid on their problem. I I I don't agree.
- 27:13If Hoylin can get those nine goals he got from last season,
- 27:17it's gonna open things up for rash.
- 27:18Rashid does so much better on the left, like him running down
- 27:21that wing. He'll create, he'll he'll give
- 27:23the ball off. He'll cut inside.
- 27:24That's what they need. And maybe put Sancho on the
- 27:26right instead of freaking Anthony.
- 27:28Cuz Anthony, him and Ganache are both ball Hawks.
- 27:31That's what they do. They just hug onto the ball and
- 27:32don't give it up till it's too late or they run into trouble.
- 27:36Yeah, they're they're just attacked like suspect.
- 27:39I think it's really telling that they're of their five top
- 27:42scoring fantasy players so far, four of them are like, or three
- 27:46of them are defenders. One of them's their goalie.
- 27:47And then it's Bruno Fernandez. Yeah, you know what I mean?
- 27:50Like, they're just, they're just not really creating.
- 27:52And it's kind of ugly. It's hard to look at, hard to
- 27:55watch. I kind of said this, I said this
- 27:57to you guys, but it seemed like Wolves was like a warning and
- 28:01they just did not heed that warning.
- 28:02And then the top number result was a consequence of just not
- 28:05not changing what you were doing.
- 28:07You know, I agree. Just thinking you could get away
- 28:09with that. Again, it was just just you
- 28:11can't. You can't do that in the Prem,
- 28:13no. To me, Anthony could be used as
- 28:16a super sub. Just bring him on the last 20
- 28:18minutes, let him spin around and dribble as much as you want.
- 28:21Try to get something, yeah. Are there any guys that you're
- 28:23like, I think as far as like potentially playing, like
- 28:26picking up off waivers and stuff if Basum is still in waivers, I
- 28:29think that's good. And then Van der Veen do you
- 28:32think he's is he good enough to it's like do you think
- 28:34Bournemouth next week clean sheet I think that might be
- 28:37might be locked in maybe. Yeah, he's good.
- 28:39I like him. Who is United playing next week?
- 28:42They are playing not in Forest so that that might be a get
- 28:46right game for some United players.
- 28:49What do you think I? Hope they start a Langer and he
- 28:50scores a hat trick. That's why I fucking hope a
- 28:54Langer gets a hatchet. That would be really tasty.
- 28:58That'd be really tasty already. But I just kind of I I do hope
- 29:02that United does something different.
- 29:03I don't know what that looks like.
- 29:04Maybe Hoyland is ready, maybe not.
- 29:06But maybe they just have someone else start in the 9:00 or they
- 29:09do something. Have a false 9 something.
- 29:12They need to win next week or do something positive, figure
- 29:16something out because the following two weeks they play
- 29:18against Arsenal and Brighton, so those are not gonna be easy
- 29:21games. So next week is they're kind of
- 29:23like easy game to. Play around, Tanker, maybe a
- 29:26couple of changes and gets the confidence up for the players.
- 29:29All right, moving on. Manchester City 1.
- 29:32Newcastle United is 0. God instead of the El Classico,
- 29:36the Oil Classico. It was, I don't know, Man City
- 29:39one, and that was a banging goal.
- 29:41It was a banging goal, but Holland was.
- 29:45Pretty quiet. I think the defense did their
- 29:48job for Newcastle. I still think they look good.
- 29:50I think ESAC didn't really have too much joy up there against
- 29:54Vardio and Ruben Diaz. But it was definitely a clash at
- 29:57times. I think Newcastle was definitely
- 30:00a threat. What did I say?
- 30:01They were gonna come third? Did I say third sounds right?
- 30:04Something like. That they're still on track.
- 30:07That's still on track, yeah. I mean there's no shame losing
- 30:10one nil away to the trouble winning champions from the last
- 30:13season. You know, like I think, like, I
- 30:15think Newcastle obviously disappointed.
- 30:17They didn't get anything out of it, but they played good.
- 30:19They look good. They near start.
- 30:21Did you guys think this would have been more of a high scoring
- 30:23game? Not really.
- 30:26Not with the defenses they both had.
- 30:28It was. It was gonna be a tactile game
- 30:30from the beginning, I think. I think Newcastle big mistake
- 30:33was not starring Harvey Bonds. I I was kind of surprised that
- 30:36the 10 score line, I thought we would see those from each side
- 30:39and this like double for me because we had a bet on
- 30:43Newcastle and an actual bet in you know where someone plays for
- 30:46us. And then Matt City score was not
- 30:48Holland who a player I I have. So it was kind of I was like
- 30:52rooting for them Matt City not to score and if it was I won't
- 30:55want it to be Holland. He he got some of the
- 30:59opportunities. He got some Pro Bowls but it
- 31:00just kind of didn't seem to fall where he usually fit.
- 31:04Falls right on his feet, obviously missing kdb.
- 31:06I'm been out of Silvia. That's that, yeah, that affects
- 31:11it. But honestly, it's.
- 31:14I'm so impressed by Matt City to be honest.
- 31:16Like. It seems like doesn't matter who
- 31:18they put out there. They have the system, It works.
- 31:20And I hate saying this because I despise pep.
- 31:23I'm not a pep fan at all. I mean, obviously he's amazing.
- 31:27Just, you know, personally I don't like it.
- 31:30But yeah, it seems like doesn't matter who, who they lose, what
- 31:33player they lose, whoever they bring in, it just plug and play
- 31:36and it works. And it's very frustrating to be
- 31:38honest. Vodin looked phenomenal.
- 31:39Yes, he did, I thought. I thought he looked really good.
- 31:42Every single time he touched the ball, he was driving well.
- 31:44He was just finding those little half spaces really, really what
- 31:47you thought he looked good or not good?
- 31:48I thought he looked good. And then, you know, lastly we
- 31:50were talking about how he wasn't in the starting lineup.
- 31:53He didn't play and then we, you know, it's obviously Pep doing
- 31:56pep things. He played the whole 90, he
- 31:58played well. He looked good.
- 32:00The slimmer of worry you had. P fighting should be gone, yeah.
- 32:03I mean the the sliver worry is still there, just cuz he didn't
- 32:05score that many points even though he played.
- 32:08I think just they're so thin like as far as like players that
- 32:13he's gonna get a lot of time that.
- 32:14Referee didn't like him. My phone.
- 32:15He got fouled left right and suddenly he didn't get any
- 32:18calls. Like none.
- 32:19That referee was a prick, but the referee has been a little
- 32:23bit suspect to me this already this season.
- 32:25But we'll see. They've already worked.
- 32:29They agree. What made sure that that team
- 32:32for the What team was it? Was it a Man United game?
- 32:34Yeah, it was man. United. the United Wolves the
- 32:36man. United Wolves, they didn't ref
- 32:37that that season the next game. So they're reprimanded referees.
- 32:42But then they just did it again this week so then we're not
- 32:45gonna have any referees by the end of the season.
- 32:46But I'll be honest. So Midchester City, it's like
- 32:50they're kind of matchup proof, right?
- 32:52Like it doesn't matter who they're playing.
- 32:53Yeah. And we're gonna start your
- 32:54assets for them. But they're playing chef you
- 32:56United so they're gonna probably crash start everyone.
- 32:59Manchester City next week. Newcastle has is playing
- 33:02Liverpool which is gonna be it's gonna be a good game, man
- 33:05talking. We talked about it a few times
- 33:06with that run that Newcastle has to start.
- 33:08The season is just so tough. Yeah, I mean that's gonna be
- 33:10tough. I mean I I think like just
- 33:12looking at some of their players, like it'll be
- 33:14interesting to see if Gordon or Barnes starts on that left side.
- 33:17It'll be interesting with Tanali to see cuz he obviously did so
- 33:19well that first game last. Like with the game against City,
- 33:22he got into the box a few times, but he was nowhere near as like
- 33:25kind of dominant as he was against Villa.
- 33:27Gamesh does good things. I'm not sure.
- 33:31I'm not sure. You know, we'll see if Joel
- 33:32Ellington starts again. Yeah, so that'll be.
- 33:35That'll be tough. That's gonna be a tough game for
- 33:36Newcastle. I think they win though.
- 33:38I think they beat Liverpool. I think so.
- 33:40I think that's gonna be a good bloody game, man.
- 33:41That might be a good, that might be a good upset.
- 33:44Check. Check the odds on, See what the
- 33:46odds are on that. I thought ESAC looks.
- 33:49I thought ESAC looks solid again, by the way.
- 33:51He looks like she's locked in. Yeah, but it just didn't seem
- 33:54like he was getting enough. Doing enough.
- 33:57Honestly, he did great that first game with, but again,
- 33:59you're playing against Man City who had Ruben Diaz back from
- 34:03that concussion. They had a Vardio who played
- 34:06freaking Immense. He played really solid, like
- 34:08he's been playing the premiership for years.
- 34:09So alright, moving on to the next game, Austin Villa for
- 34:13Everton 0. We come on, Villa, let's go to
- 34:18Brahms, Man. The one the just start off
- 34:21Calvert. Lewin cannot catch a freaking
- 34:23break, huh? He finally gets his start, comes
- 34:26in with within the 1st 20 minutes he collides with the
- 34:29goalkeeper and has to come off. Just fucking someplace.
- 34:33Just get injured, man. And it's they don't get their
- 34:35their true potential. It sucks.
- 34:38I mean, do you think he comes back next week?
- 34:39I feel like I'm still not like, fully, fully, like, drop him,
- 34:44get rid of him. I still think he's gonna be the
- 34:45guy there. Yeah, you can.
- 34:47Just weird. You can wait but but they look,
- 34:49I mean, you know, like we were saying like, oh, Wolves didn't
- 34:51look that bad, even though they, they kind of got beat up by
- 34:54Brighton. But like Everton, like looked
- 34:56bad against Villa. Whatever, You know, like they
- 34:59looked, they looked, they did not look good.
- 35:01No, they did not look good, I agree.
- 35:03Didn't Everton barely escape relegation last year?
- 35:06Yeah, like on the last day, right?
- 35:09Have they scored a goal? I don't think they scored a
- 35:11goal. Yeah.
- 35:13I mean, yeah. And they kinda like, like, they
- 35:15didn't really add anyone. Like, you know, like no one's
- 35:19no. At least like.
- 35:20West Ham didn't add anyone, but they didn't have any problems.
- 35:23I mean, they did add people. What are you talking about, West
- 35:25Ham? I did a few people.
- 35:27What's that out of James Word? Palace, who had two assists and
- 35:30so. Oh, that's right.
- 35:32Yeah, that's right. No, no, you're right.
- 35:34I'm sorry, so your joke's not it's not even.
- 35:36It's not even valid. I'm.
- 35:37Sorry for bringing that up again.
- 35:38I'm sorry, bad taste Who? Took the penalty for Austin
- 35:41Mila, your guy. Oh, Douglas Louise.
- 35:44OK, your guy, that's the only thing he did.
- 35:48He made it right? Yeah, I think he made it cool.
- 35:49Congratulations. I thought the Obby looked very
- 35:53good again. He didn't quite like score ton
- 35:55of points, but he was super influential in the first goal.
- 35:58He, like, had a couple other moments where he just looked
- 36:00really good. John McGinn might be a sneaky
- 36:02pickup. He hasn't been good for two
- 36:04years, man, Yeah, but the way they're playing now, with with
- 36:06the way he's kind of playing underneath the Abbey and Watkins
- 36:09and Bailey, he's he's playing in a higher role.
- 36:11He's kind of playing for the back in the past.
- 36:13Watkins has got with the one you're worried about seeing
- 36:15fucking putting any goals in the back end next two games in, Oh
- 36:18no, 36 more to go. I'm not, but you've got you
- 36:21gotta start. You mean your confidence is
- 36:23where you score goals as a striker, or at least getting a
- 36:26few shots on target. He's barely taking nose.
- 36:28I think he'll be fine. They're playing birdly next.
- 36:31That might be the get right game for Watkins.
- 36:33Let's hope and then every team man who they playing.
- 36:35I don't even. I just there's no one they
- 36:37they're playing that I could be actually get excited about
- 36:39Wolves. Oh that could be Wolves Chance
- 36:42right there. I think that's where Wolves get
- 36:44right. I think everything everything
- 36:46just looks so bad. I'm just really not.
- 36:48I like I have it will be in a league I have Dwight big deal.
- 36:52Who's injured both my leagues. I really regret that pick up now
- 36:56but I'm just yeah I'm not feeling great Calvert Lou and
- 36:59maybe down the line but nothing there is making me feel good.
- 37:03I'll. Keep You have three everything
- 37:06players I know and I told myself I wouldn't draft that many
- 37:09everything players but. I got one.
- 37:11You bloody got injured, so I got fucking figure out what I'm
- 37:14gonna do with him. Who was it?
- 37:15It wobi wobi's injured. Yeah, I got hamstring or pulled
- 37:20off in that game. Pulled off clean off the bone.
- 37:23Yeah, pulled off man hamstrings right off the freaking leg.
- 37:28OK. Yeah, I think I wobi's at the
- 37:30point now where I might just be. Are you dropping it?
- 37:32Like fully dropping him to the wavers.
- 37:33I don't. I don't know man, Cuz I've got,
- 37:35I've still got Ramsey, who's still injured for Aston Villa
- 37:38too and I'm waiting for him to come back and I've got Bernardo
- 37:40Silver in that team too, so he's fucking injured when come back.
- 37:43So I really don't have that many options.
- 37:45I think you gotta drop it will be there.
- 37:46I don't think so. I'm gonna hold on to him.
- 37:48I'm doing. I'm doing fine.
- 37:49You're gonna hold on to the three injured players on your
- 37:52bench. Look at my first team brother.
- 37:54But like, if you guys, if you have one guy doesn't that
- 37:56doesn't start, you're all of a sudden like so screwed?
- 37:58Most of my guys are. Most of my guys are stars.
- 38:00Let me look so in this in this one.
- 38:02So look. I got Bottman, Udogi, Ferran,
- 38:06the Stein, the free offender of his right.
- 38:09I got billing. Hopefully he's not injured.
- 38:11Bruno But you just said he was injured.
- 38:13No, he looked like he'd pick up or not.
- 38:14But he played the whole game and then Bruno Trossard he might.
- 38:19I'm hoping he starts. I've got DRB Diaz and Edouard
- 38:24Darrell Stein. Oh, wait, I've got Reese James
- 38:26injured too, motherfucker. Yeah, yeah.
- 38:30You're gonna have to drop a will be.
- 38:32I've still got if I drop anyone, I drop Solomon because Solomon
- 38:36hasn't been Stein or he's been coming off the bench.
- 38:38Give me a point so I can give rid of Solomon and get someone
- 38:40else. I think having more than like
- 38:42200 players is tough. It's tough to hold on to more
- 38:45than 200 players, so I think. Yeah, not when you're winning,
- 38:47mate. Not when you're winning.
- 38:50It won't be winning long. Yeah, we'll see about that.
- 38:52So it was a lot injured guys. We'll see about that, Sir.
- 38:54All right. Moving on to the most
- 38:56unimportant game of the weekend, West Ham 3.
- 38:59Chelsea won. Ouch.
- 39:00What do you think about that gamekeep?
- 39:01What do you think about the coach?
- 39:03What do you think about pots? You know, where's he going with
- 39:05that? With that team, I didn't think,
- 39:06You know what, we dominated possession.
- 39:10We like had a little flute. Like I to me was just like just
- 39:13more the same stuff from last season where we just had a
- 39:15little fluky things like mentality was an issue more than
- 39:18anything else. Like that second goal to like to
- 39:22let Antonio go on that run. Did not take him down.
- 39:24Did not foul him. Do not just put more body on
- 39:26him. I thought Sanchez probably
- 39:28should have stopped that or that.
- 39:29Yeah. It's just.
- 39:30I mean that that first one that I mean that James would press
- 39:33delivery like that. I mean I don't know.
- 39:35I felt like after that first goal I still felt really
- 39:37confident. I just, I like we had so much
- 39:39possession then we scored then we got a penalty.
- 39:42It's just like it just. I don't know.
- 39:44I just felt like they're just not mature.
- 39:47They're not mentally mature, but they they still look good and
- 39:50they still played good. So I'm not, I'm, I'm not like,
- 39:53breaking down yet. I'm not emotionally distraught.
- 39:55Yet I can't. I couldn't.
- 39:56I couldn't tell by your voice because I wave in, because I
- 40:02wave in a little bit. I didn't get a chance to watch
- 40:06the game. I watched the extended
- 40:07highlights and then I just pulled up the stats because you
- 40:09said, you know, dominated possession.
- 40:10It was 76% to 24, yeah. And then the pass.
- 40:15This was 706 passes for Chelsea, 225 for.
- 40:19Look at the shots though. Look at the shots.
- 40:21That's that was the big difference right now, 17 and 12.
- 40:257:00 and 12:00, but they had four on target for Chelsea, 6 on
- 40:28target for West Ham. So you gotta get quality shots
- 40:30and you gotta get them on target.
- 40:31Yeah, you're totally right. I think the big, the big like
- 40:35takeaways or James Royd, Prouse did everything we thought he
- 40:38would do for this West Ham team dropped in an amazing quarter to
- 40:42start the game. Onto one of the defenders heads,
- 40:45put a nice little through ball just like I'm really like
- 40:49perspective through like ball over the top for Antonio and
- 40:52Tony just bodied the two younger Chelsea defenders and then shot
- 40:55on Sanchez. So you know Chuck Omeka went
- 40:58down that that stung Madrid came on and actually thought, I
- 41:02thought he looked pretty decent when he came on.
- 41:05But man, I mean, it just feels like we're the same from
- 41:08Chelsea. Keith, how do you feel about
- 41:10Nicholas Jackson? I thought, you still look good,
- 41:13you know. You know what I did notice is
- 41:15that when the game when West Ham dropped into that low block, he
- 41:19wasn't as effective when he couldn't run behind.
- 41:21And he doesn't really look like he wants to use his head and
- 41:24like attack balls in the air, which is a little bit of a drag.
- 41:27Well, we did go for that one header that went flying over
- 41:30there. He should.
- 41:31He should have left for Thiago. Yeah, but I just don't think
- 41:36that's like his fortune. No.
- 41:38Yeah, but West Ham next week. Playing Brighton Poquetta
- 41:43potentially might be in trouble because for match fixing Oh.
- 41:46My God. So or not match, was it
- 41:49gambling? I don't know.
- 41:50I'm not super keen on the West. Same guys.
- 41:52But you know, I think you're gonna stay start your James
- 41:55Repos. You're gonna start your Jared
- 41:56Bowen. Everyone else, I'm.
- 41:58I'd probably just take a beat on I just on Lucas Plaquetta.
- 42:02How badly does West Ham regret not selling him?
- 42:05For what was it 100 million to Man City trying to get more
- 42:08money special with this investigation, which he'll be
- 42:11suspended for sure. I mean the way he doesn't get
- 42:13suspended. I if they have like concrete
- 42:16evidence, there is no way he does not get suspended.
- 42:19Yeah, concrete I we'll see how concrete it is, I guess, but
- 42:22they might even have to put the hammer come down on the with the
- 42:24hammer on and no pun intended. Shut up just because it's the
- 42:30make an example out of him. Oh, my God.
- 42:32All right, I'm. I'm gone, guys.
- 42:34I'll see. Who's Chelsea going next?
- 42:38Oh well Luton, so that that's. I got another, just like United.
- 42:42They could have like a get right game.
- 42:43Another another thing about the Chelsea, that Sterling was
- 42:45phenomenal. Sterling looked really good the
- 42:48way he was. He was running like he was 23
- 42:50again, you know? Very man.
- 42:51We knew what he's doing. Bust and mass pass people, I
- 42:54think. I think you start all your chest
- 42:55Chelsea assets next week. Against Lewin?
- 42:58Hell yeah. Yeah, start everyone.
- 43:00The young player that replaced 3 shames the back of the start.
- 43:03Gusto. How did he look?
- 43:05Solid. But not spectacular.
- 43:07Solid. Not spectacular.
- 43:08He didn't like. He wasn't getting like run past,
- 43:10like, it wasn't like then Rommel was running right on him.
- 43:13As someone who has reshamed, should I just kind of add him on
- 43:16the waiver, just kind of keep him while until he comes back or
- 43:19no fantasy value? I think Adam, if they're playing
- 43:21Loot in Town next week and you just really hope that that's a
- 43:24clean sheet, you know, I think that's that's very like high
- 43:27likelihood that's a clean sheet. But but I don't think he's gonna
- 43:30offer nearly as much as reach James.
- 43:32It's not like a like for like where he's gonna come in and do
- 43:34all the same things that Res James said.
- 43:36Obviously, yeah. Do we know if Lewin's gonna be
- 43:38able to play a game at home anytime soon?
- 43:40Cuz I have that Burnley game. Don't get me wrong, I don't
- 43:42think anyone really has any Burnley players, so that didn't
- 43:44affect anyone too badly for being postponed.
- 43:47But like they they're playing West Ham in a couple weeks on
- 43:52the 1st. If they don't play, there's a
- 43:55few players on that West Ham team people are gonna have.
- 43:58Yeah, it's gonna be a headache. Fucking looting.
- 44:01Get your fucking shit together, man.
- 44:03Build a fucking stadium. Get out of the fish and chip
- 44:06shop. Don't walk through someone's
- 44:07fucking bathroom and build a fucking stadium.
- 44:09What the hell man? You've had months to fucking
- 44:12figure this out. At least try and.
- 44:13Send the loo loons. The whole club's worth like 20
- 44:15bucks. Look, they could ask.
- 44:17Look, the premiership frigging nudist, what do they do for most
- 44:20teams? Let them play a fucking Wembley.
- 44:21Fuck it right. Name a name a better stadium in
- 44:26the EPL than Luton Stadium. Name one.
- 44:29Every stadium no get out of here.
- 44:32What? Uh, how far away is Luton from
- 44:34Uh? Wembley?
- 44:35Enzo. Don't know, don't care.
- 44:37Never fought for to ever fucking go there.
- 44:39I don't know. Is it a coastal city?
- 44:41I don't fucking know. I don't know my job.
- 44:43You're from. You're from the country.
- 44:44You're gonna look right now, Yep.
- 44:46You're saying you're saying they play Wembley like they're not
- 44:48gonna play Wembley, It's like Miles?
- 44:49Far East. How far is Hershey away from
- 44:53freaking the West Coast? I don't bloody know.
- 44:55I don't expect you guys to know. You don't know every single.
- 44:57You could have just said far like it's is it far is Luton,
- 45:00far from Wembley. It's far, but don't lie.
- 45:03Actually, it's below Cardiff and more we're.
- 45:08Talking like 100 miles more, more.
- 45:13Yeah, they're not. They're not playing at Wembley.
- 45:16To answer your answer your question.
- 45:17Well then choose another statement that's close by.
- 45:19Who are they close to? They are they just out in the
- 45:22sticks? Something called Plan Out.
- 45:26You mean Plymouth? Plymouth, you fucking wanker.
- 45:29Fuck. You know English is the same.
- 45:31I don't but you. Said.
- 45:32I can't say nothing. I used to call Yosemite Yosamite
- 45:35because that's what makes sense to me.
- 45:39All right, let's Is there anything else that we wanna talk
- 45:41about this game? Because I'm more than happy to
- 45:43move on as quickly as possible from this.
- 45:45Well, we can move on, but how do you feel about pod?
- 45:47Your team? You think he's gonna do a good
- 45:48job for you guys? Yeah, I think he's gonna do
- 45:50great. I think this is a blip.
- 45:51I think this is one of those, one of those games.
- 45:54It was last week, a blip, too. I think a tie against Liverpool
- 45:59is fine. I don't think anyone, I don't
- 46:00think anyone thinks that was a bad performance.
- 46:06So if we lose the Luton Town next week, though, we'll be
- 46:08having a different discussion next week.
- 46:11OK, let's look ahead. So but Crystal Palace, Arsenal
- 46:15tomorrow, I think there's a lot of, there's a lot of players in
- 46:19this game that are very important high squam players.
- 46:25Well, at least he signed a new contract, so he's staying.
- 46:28He's staying. He's not starting, though,
- 46:30because he's still injured. But he signed a new contract.
- 46:32That's gonna be good for the morale.
- 46:34Crystal Palace means they're not trying to get rid of everybody.
- 46:36Zaha left for free. So you know, bye bye Zaha.
- 46:40If, as they plays, the way he's been playing the first game and
- 46:43Eduard can sneak in a goal and make himself a nuisance, maybe
- 46:47they can get a draw. I don't think they're gonna win.
- 46:49Honestly, I think my prediction. Also wins three, one in my
- 46:56opinion. 31 away, so it's at Southhurst Park. 31 away.
- 47:00Do you think have it starts? I think he still starts and
- 47:04Trusser comes off the bench because Arteta is not gonna just
- 47:07throw the thing out the freaking the window right now.
- 47:09He's gonna see, he's gonna take a couple games, but eventually,
- 47:12I don't think, have I, unless he pulls something out his ass and
- 47:15actually bangs in a goal or sets up a goal or something because
- 47:18he just seemed to be getting in older God's way and you can't
- 47:21get in olden God's way. Yeah.
- 47:23Do you feel like it's kind of like if Howards doesn't start,
- 47:25it's kind of a reflection on Arteta, like, you know, do you
- 47:28think he's, it's kind of like a point of pride, like he paid all
- 47:31this money for this guy, he he's gonna be starting games.
- 47:33Because if it was, if it was up to me and I had no like ego or
- 47:36nothing attached to it. I think you put trust art in for
- 47:38Howards. I think it's not only it's just
- 47:42an ego thing, it also it might come from management as well
- 47:45because he doesn't have kind of the he doesn't have the resume
- 47:48where he gets to. He gets to pay a lot of money
- 47:50for a player and not play him. He's not like a Jose Moreno
- 47:53where he could pay 80 million and put someone on the bench.
- 47:57I he probably will roll with the same lineup.
- 47:59I just go with the same people. See if it works or not until he
- 48:03just comes back and then you kind of could change things up.
- 48:06But honestly, I hope Arsenal wins.
- 48:08I hope there's like not a tire or if they, you know, Arsenal,
- 48:12this loses just for the sake of the Premier League being
- 48:15competitive and Man City not getting too.
- 48:18Far ahead also because you Also because you're a secret Arsenal
- 48:20fan. That's awesome.
- 48:27I free. Yeah, you fucking closet Arsenal
- 48:24fan, you Closet Gooner. Disgusting.
- 48:29I. There are players.
- 48:30I decide. You know how many times I've
- 48:32heard people like Theo Walcott is going to be amazing?
- 48:36I remember when they bought Theo Walcott they called in the next
- 48:38tier and Reen, I looked them like, what the fuck are you
- 48:41talking about? All he is is quick.
- 48:43Don't get wrong. I thought he turned into a good
- 48:44player but he was not Thierry and I'm a Tottenham fan, I'll
- 48:48tell you, Thierry and Marie was fucking class.
- 48:52Who was it? They bought recently from France
- 48:54I think. That was a disaster, huh?
- 48:56Keith Bonanzo. Sergei was talking about him
- 48:58nonstop. He thought he was the missing
- 49:01piece. He's quick on the wings.
- 49:02He's gonna get up. He's gonna get he's moving.
- 49:05And I can't even tell you how many years I heard about Olivier
- 49:070. Olivia Wait, wait, wait, wait.
- 49:10Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. He's working everything, man.
- 49:13He's won everything. He's so important.
- 49:15He's he's literally one of the goats.
- 49:17But don't let's not get started there.
- 49:18This is before he was got it. This is before he was got it.
- 49:22This is when he was missing Point Black.
- 49:24Let's get a score production. As you said this game Crystal
- 49:27Palace 3131 Tico 313030 Arsenal. I want to say it's gonna be a
- 49:35tie so bad, but I think it's gonna be a 2121 Arsenal win.
- 49:41As much as I'm rooting for a tie, can I change mine to three?
- 49:44One, because I just remember I picked up a crystal player and I
- 49:47need him to get like a necessary goal.
- 49:51Who'd you pick? Who'd you pick up?
- 49:52Who'd you pick up on that team to go?
- 49:54Jeffrey Schlopp. I like schlop.
- 49:57I like schlop. He doesn't score against anyone
- 49:59besides Tottenham. Let me write that down.
- 50:04And now we're gonna start looking ahead to next week.
- 50:07So looking at waivers and kind of like I kind of wanted to play
- 50:10a game with you guys. It's called rapid fire.
- 50:12And I'm gonna list players who have kind of underperformed
- 50:15through two games and you guys have to just like.
- 50:17Like off the cusp if you just if you try and get rid of them or
- 50:20if you would if you would just keep them.
- 50:22OK, OK, First one ready, Jack Realish.
- 50:28Keep. Keep you're not.
- 50:30You're not trying to sell him for you think he's going to be
- 50:32great. So, OK, easy.
- 50:35Next one. Miss him out.
- 50:37Drop not. I mean, trade.
- 50:40Right. You're not going to drop miss
- 50:41him out. No.
- 50:42Fuck that. Drop him.
- 50:43He shit. OK.
- 50:47No, you you trained him to the mag.
- 50:49You're right. Trained to Derek.
- 50:52Yeah, Alexei McAllister. Keep.
- 50:55Think he comes good? He started off, so he'll pick it
- 50:57up. Anthony.
- 51:00Trite. Just get rid of jobin.
- 51:02Kulisakski. Keep, keep.
- 51:06You got that? He should have had an assist,
- 51:08but it got taken away because there was a deflection.
- 51:10So it's from Nicholas Jackson. Keep Yeah, I think so too.
- 51:15He'll score. If not, he's just so important
- 51:17to that team. They still don't have anyone
- 51:18else to put there. Darwin Nunes, Liverpool.
- 51:21I don't want to say. I don't want to say.
- 51:23Drop him. You're not dropping, but you're
- 51:26you're trying to trade up, trying to get.
- 51:27Rid, I wouldn't. I wouldn't trade him.
- 51:28I wouldn't trade him. Why?
- 51:29But I'd keep him. Keep him keep.
- 51:31Keep him on your bench. You don't look this little site
- 51:34side the way they're going right now we don't know what they're
- 51:37best. They're still, they're still
- 51:38moving things about remember they got.
- 51:40Play Cups to play in. There's going to be rotation.
- 51:43That's one thing Clock does. Nunez will get onto that team.
- 51:46Yakpo, Kody Gakpo, Liverpool. Keep.
- 51:49Keep you're not trying to get rid of them.
- 51:51No. And I've said this, he hasn't
- 51:53played badly and it's not, it's not basically being shown by the
- 51:57points that he's getting, but he's not playing badly.
- 52:00He's just being played out position.
- 52:02If he played up front, I guarantee you the goals and
- 52:05assists that John has got, he would have freaking got.
- 52:08Do you feel the same way about Marcus Rashford then?
- 52:09Cuz he's has not. He's scored like eight points
- 52:13and five points. Once once Hoyland comes back,
- 52:17and I don't know when he's made come back, I know it's pretty
- 52:19soon it's not life months away. Rash will be the same rash we
- 52:22saw at the end of last season where he was just banging in
- 52:24goals and setting things up. He's he's gonna, he's a freaking
- 52:27nuisance all. Right.
- 52:28So we're keeping Realish, keeping Rashford, getting rid of
- 52:32Mount. Keeping McAllister, keeping
- 52:34Gacpo, keeping unes or mixed on that, I guess getting rid of
- 52:38Anthony, were we mixed on Kulesevski or we're keeping
- 52:41Kulesevski? Keep so we're.
- 52:42Keeping all that, we're just we're not trying to cut and run
- 52:45on any of these guys too, other than the United guys.
- 52:49Too early for most, but just seeing how me and I has been
- 52:52looking. Too early too?
- 52:53And and what they've done the last couple years, I just, I I'm
- 52:56just worried about him having honest.
- 52:58So who would you like if you if you had like a Mason Mountain,
- 53:01who would you try and trade him for?
- 53:02Would you go like like would you trade for like a Johann Wesa
- 53:06from from Bedford? I I trade for Wesa cuz he's
- 53:10streaky how? About a Pedro Netto.
- 53:12It wasn't even drafted, but he was.
- 53:14He looked really good. Week one.
- 53:16Would you rather have mount or Netto?
- 53:20I think for Mason Mountain you probably have to trade him for
- 53:22other player that were have high expectations or that that were
- 53:26drafted that are underperforming like Richard, like Richard.
- 53:30Listen, someone like that. Hey let me give you your
- 53:32problem. You give me your problem see how
- 53:34it works Mudrick something like that.
- 53:37I think you could also try and make the argument like a guy
- 53:39who's maybe not as well known, that's done well and so
- 53:41someone's like, oh like, I know who Mason Mountain is, Kunya.
- 53:44Kunya, I'll trade for him. You trade for OK, so you're
- 53:47really off. You're off it.
- 53:49Totally. Yeah.
- 53:50Interesting. What about, like Kulasefski?
- 53:52Who would you trade for Kulasefski?
- 53:54Like Diaby would you trade? No one's gonna trade you.
- 53:59No one's gonna trade you Diaby for Kulasefski.
- 54:03He went way later in drafts that Kulasefski did.
- 54:05That's that's true. That is true.
- 54:09Maybe. Maybe Gordon from Newcastle.
- 54:12That could be one cuz you're not sure if he's gonna be staying in
- 54:15that position. So you would you would you would
- 54:17accept that trend if you had Kirlsefsky, you would take
- 54:20Gordon? For Gordon?
- 54:23No, I I'd accept that if it was out on Gordon for Kirlsefsky.
- 54:26So yeah, that doesn't help, though I'm saying if you had,
- 54:33what about like a John McGinn? That's a good one.
- 54:39You'd have to think about it. You guys didn't accept any of my
- 54:43fucking trades. They were not good trades.
- 54:43I sent you. I thought I sent you.
- 54:45Good. I literally responded.
- 54:47Are you high in the counterweight for box?
- 54:49I did read it. And I found some offense.
- 54:52Who's I trying to trade you, Gallagher?
- 54:54For who? For like someone, that's good.
- 54:57Gallagher's. Something that's like.
- 55:00Who's I try to trade you for? I want people to let me know if
- 55:05it was good. Let me see you.
- 55:07Who do I try to trade? You for a job, Hedgeho or
- 55:09something like that? No, no, no, no.
- 55:11It was. It's not on the Gibbs anymore.
- 55:15Like Gibbs White or someone James Wood prowls.
- 55:17It was like someone who's like, clearly, like clearing away.
- 55:20Who's on your team? Who did I go for?
- 55:23I don't think it was that bad. It was Jack Realish.
- 55:26It was a little Jack Realish. That's right.
- 55:28It was Jack Realish. So that's the one right there.
- 55:31No, and that's not. Bad trade.
- 55:33How is that about trade? Cuz Gallagher's probably not
- 55:35gonna start in like a week. Jack, why, why would you say
- 55:38that he's the been the most consistent in that midfield?
- 55:40Casedo comes in like potential Lavia comes in like just have so
- 55:43many Casedo. Comes in and gives away a
- 55:45penalty and freaking only I'm just saying.
- 55:49Yeah, I have to keep it covered. Keep it covered.
- 55:51I thought what he sent me was the bad trade offer, but I think
- 55:53you're the one he sent you is worse.
- 55:55He sent me. Wait, I didn't send you a bad
- 55:57one. Vaudeo had 10 points this week.
- 56:00What he sent you? How many good do you have last
- 56:02week? He didn't play, but he'll play
- 56:04OK going forward. Vaudeo for Van de Ven What's for
- 56:07Reach Games? No.
- 56:09Oh no. What's for REACH, James?
- 56:11It's ridiculous. That's just silly.
- 56:14But he's injured, like, forever for the rest of his career.
- 56:17Well, probably for. Like 3 weeks he'll be back.
- 56:20That was a good trade. That was a good trade.
- 56:21Next segment moving on, who's a player that's over performing
- 56:25that if you guys on your team you'd be actively shopping
- 56:27trying to sell them. Now while they're they're very
- 56:31stock is high Raji. That is who I wrote down too.
- 56:36I think that's a good one. He like, busted out last week,
- 56:39had a solid game this week. I don't think.
- 56:43I don't think he's just gonna score it tons and tons of
- 56:46points. But like, you know, I think I'd
- 56:48trade him for an attacking player like a.
- 56:50Like Mason Mount, yeah. I would trade it, Audrey.
- 56:54I would do that. I would absolutely do that
- 56:56trade. I think I'd actually be that's
- 56:58actually that's actually a good one.
- 56:59I'd go whistle or M bwembo. You really think so?
- 57:03I see. I I I'm not sure I feel about
- 57:05that. Cause you could get, I think you
- 57:07get good value from those two players right now for a player
- 57:10that's probably gonna build into the into the league and that she
- 57:14starts scoring later on. Do you think like would you go
- 57:16like like with Charleston or like way like more like I'm?
- 57:22Not sure. I'm not sure how it's gonna go
- 57:24over Charles. Yeah, you could probably.
- 57:26Trade for the Charleston if someone's a Tottenham fan and
- 57:29they. I don't actually know.
- 57:30Tottenham fan Probably someone that's just like isn't a
- 57:32Tottenham fan and it's like someone who's not a Tottenham
- 57:35fan and sees what Charleston scored like 2 below scores and
- 57:38be like, I don't want any piece of this anymore.
- 57:40Give me Wissa, who has 40 some points over 2 weeks.
- 57:43Maybe. If you got, you could probably
- 57:45get you know what? You could probably get Harvey
- 57:47Bonds for Wisser right now. Yeah, cuz he had a he had a good
- 57:51first game and only came on as a sub.
- 57:53He's not star and whistle star. He's guaranteed and he's already
- 57:56scored three goals. Two goals and Bravo the same
- 57:59thing. He scored three goals.
- 58:01How long is this gravy train gonna last?
- 58:03Are they gonna keep scoring goals the way they've been
- 58:05doing? I think in Blenbo I'd want to
- 58:08keep. I think he's actually gonna be
- 58:10good for a while and even when Tony comes back he's still gonna
- 58:12be a guy. He was going a lot of points
- 58:14last year. Whissa, I'm kind of, I kind of
- 58:16agree more on. I maybe try shop Whissa.
- 58:18You could probably do a double trade and I also put Thomas
- 58:21Susak as well for from West Ham. He's he has 30 plus points he's
- 58:27his points per game average is more than double from last year.
- 58:30So he's obviously off to a great start.
- 58:33I would try to just sell high on him.
- 58:35He's not gonna be able to continue this production.
- 58:38I I agree. I think that's a really good one
- 58:39actually. Suczek, Thomas.
- 58:41Suczek. Yeah, he's the highest scoring
- 58:43player on West Ham right now. Any trade at the moment is gonna
- 58:47be hard to do. It has to be fully worth it.
- 58:50Kind of big risk on both. I think as the games go on, like
- 58:53you said through a long season ago, we got 36 more games.
- 58:56That's when when you see people panicking and see what they
- 59:00really need, where they're not getting value for like defenders
- 59:02or midfielders. And like, all right, let me try.
- 59:04I've got like 3 good strikers. Let me see if I can trade one
- 59:06for maybe a good midfielder or a good defender or a couple good
- 59:09defenders, just to get you some solid points.
- 59:11To get you over that edge. Yeah, I feel like any trade now
- 59:14is trying to take advantage of someone who's panicking.
- 59:16He's like Owen Two has a few guys that have underperformed.
- 59:19He's pointing at myself, at me, at my panicky.
- 59:22Sorry, I was pointing a little bit.
- 59:23No, no. I was pointing at Takeover.
- 59:24I wanna know. Panic.
- 59:26I'm I'm about ready to be at Owen Two in one of my leagues,
- 59:28so that does not feel great. I have.
- 59:31I also have Akanji from Man City.
- 59:34He's putting. Last year he wasn't putting up
- 59:36any points, but this year he's he got off to a good start.
- 59:40He's someone else. I would lick the ship out.
- 59:42If someone needs a defender, try to trade him away and then we
- 59:45also touch, based on Lucas, a pocket, just trade him away man
- 59:49before. Like if there's a suspension, I
- 59:52would just try to get rid of him as quickly as possible.
- 59:54So just like barely anything, just get rid of him.
- 59:56I mean he's he's still such an asset.
- 59:57If this thing falls through and there's not much to it, then
- 1:00:00you're you're throwing away like a solid asset, right?
- 1:00:03I mean, you don't have to get like a 2020 cents on a dollar.
- 1:00:07You can still get like something good for in return.
- 1:00:10It's almost serviceable that you can plug and play.
- 1:00:13Who's gonna be who's gonna trade in the Pacheta right now?
- 1:00:16Someone who doesn't follow his case.
- 1:00:21Set the trade to every single person in the league in this
- 1:00:23whole. See who bites.
- 1:00:28There's always one person in the league.
- 1:00:30Every league has a Taco. Thomas Thomas.
- 1:00:33Yeah, you don't freaking watch anything.
- 1:00:36He just, he goes on old news or unless they're American, pretty
- 1:00:41much. What about next?
- 1:00:43Are there any games we're looking for?
- 1:00:44I do next week. Looking forward to the Tottenham
- 1:00:47game? Of course.
- 1:00:48Well. I'm not looking forward to the
- 1:00:50Chelsea game. Friday's Chelsea Lewin.
- 1:00:53You better fucking win that game, man.
- 1:00:55Fuck you. Your team fucked me.
- 1:00:56Your team fucked me up this week.
- 1:00:59I know you better win that game. I think it's just Newcastle and
- 1:01:03Liverpool. That's on Sunday.
- 1:01:06Man United not in the forest. United Forest might be fun, just
- 1:01:11old some old history. They've got an old rivalry, but
- 1:01:15honestly, Brian West Ham. If Brian Brian scores another
- 1:01:19two plus goals and wins again that they're sending a message.
- 1:01:22I know they played a couple crappy teams, but they're
- 1:01:24sending a bloody message, man. Let me ask you as a question.
- 1:01:27So the top five players scoring, total points, total points,
- 1:01:32score. Any idea what team they come
- 1:01:35from or who the players are? You guys want to take a guess at
- 1:01:37them? Brighton, right, Eight goals,
- 1:01:41two games Top three Saudi March 56, Purvis 46.75 and Metoma 45,
- 1:01:491/2. Yeah, followed by the next two
- 1:01:52players from Brantford. And Wysa.
- 1:01:57Yep, Wysa. Yeah, And then it's, you know,
- 1:01:59whoever you would say. Will they be there at the end of
- 1:02:02the season? That's the question, no.
- 1:02:03No, I mean not like this. I mean one, one or two of them
- 1:02:06might still be in the top 5-10, but not not all five of these
- 1:02:10guys. Brian's in Europe, right?
- 1:02:12They're in Europe. Yeah, they're in Europe.
- 1:02:14They're in Europa. Are you in Europe this year,
- 1:02:18Keith? Why that's such a love though.
- 1:02:21Why? What are you even doing right
- 1:02:22now? Are you?
- 1:02:22It's cruel. You're just kicking, just
- 1:02:25kicking someone who's down. It's like spitting on someone
- 1:02:30who's already in the fetal position over here.
- 1:02:33Do you guys, is there a player you guys are actively trying to
- 1:02:36trade for? That's a good.
- 1:02:41Question. There's a player I want, but I
- 1:02:42can't trade with the guy. Who is it?
- 1:02:46It's Ferguson. It's bloody your brother.
- 1:02:48I'm not touching him, cuz your brother's gonna try to trade,
- 1:02:51believe me. So I would be trying to target
- 1:02:54someone who's been underperforming, right?
- 1:02:55Like I'd be looking at someone who hasn't been doing well, like
- 1:02:58Jackie Ilish and maybe training for him.
- 1:03:00But you know, I don't think my teams on one team, I have him on
- 1:03:03the other team. He just, it wouldn't, it
- 1:03:06wouldn't make sense because they already have fought in, but
- 1:03:08like, I'd maybe look at like a Harvey Barnes and training for
- 1:03:11him. Who else has been coming off the
- 1:03:13bench that's been playing well? I I was hoping Alvarez would
- 1:03:17underperform especially since I've Holland who gets injured
- 1:03:21off in our historically he did except last year.
- 1:03:23So I wanted to he in Germany. He would, he would get hurt
- 1:03:26every year. And we do discuss this is he's
- 1:03:29on the time management. It'd be fun, yes, but that's one
- 1:03:32of the reasons I want to Alvarez, especially when you
- 1:03:34know the other competitions start getting to play.
- 1:03:36I want to be able to start him and you know, we talked about a
- 1:03:39little bit before the year that if he's gonna start or not and
- 1:03:44he's been starting, he's been throwing goals and we were
- 1:03:46laughing when he got drafted, like what was it, third or
- 1:03:49fourth round? We're laughing because it was to
- 1:03:50reach. At least we thought of it.
- 1:03:52You say goals. He scored one goal mate, 50%.
- 1:03:56He's scoring 50% in the goals of the games.
- 1:03:59Hey man, his door. He must be doing some right pet
- 1:04:02store or something. I don't know, man, but he's
- 1:04:04also, I mean, the first game he didn't score goals, but he had
- 1:04:07more points than the game. He scored a goal.
- 1:04:10He had 22 points in the first game, 16 in the second.
- 1:04:13That guy completed football at 23 guys.
- 1:04:16If he keeps going away, he's going, he's gonna have a lot of
- 1:04:18play trophies and he's not even playing for Real Madrid.
- 1:04:20Maybe like you said, he trying to get like one of your second
- 1:04:23round picks, trying to trade for Marcus Rashford or someone that
- 1:04:26someone's just super off, or just trying to put some package
- 1:04:29together for Rashford I think might be interesting.
- 1:04:32Who's in that second round like Tripia matters?
- 1:04:35Was Isaac in that second round? But there's some, there's some
- 1:04:38guys that aren't, like, absolutely dominating in that
- 1:04:40second round. Oh.
- 1:04:42Harry Kang was in that second round.
- 1:04:46Yeah, actually, Gakba was on the second round.
- 1:04:50But I mean, you could put some deal maybe if you do like a Jack
- 1:04:52Realish and a Mudrick together or something trying to get
- 1:04:56Rashford. That's interesting.
- 1:04:57Something like that. And someone's just like, but
- 1:04:59maybe not Grealish cuz he's not been doing great.
- 1:05:01But see, I was actually thinking of if I could have like a send
- 1:05:07Holland, trade him away and get like a godfather offer for him.
- 1:05:11Well, like 2, two players or what?
- 1:05:13Like 4, like three players. I don't know.
- 1:05:15What about like, what about like Louise, would you trade Luis
- 1:05:17Diaz for Marcus Rashford Right now Lucy has two goals.
- 1:05:20I think I might. I wouldn't just cause he's he
- 1:05:23scored back-to-back goals. I'm gonna ride this train until
- 1:05:25like. But that's where you gotta sell
- 1:05:27him now. He's hot like this.
- 1:05:28If you'd ride the train until the train stops, runs out of
- 1:05:31steam, then no one's gonna no one's gonna wanna buy the train
- 1:05:33from you. Louis Diaz isn't gonna run out
- 1:05:35of steam, mate. I called it already.
- 1:05:37He's going to score goals. He's going to stay injury free.
- 1:05:39I sweat down. If he gets injured next week,
- 1:05:41I'll blame him. Both for you, both for you.
- 1:05:44Oh boy, it's our fault. I think I might want to trade
- 1:05:49for who's off to terrible start as Bruno from Newcastle.
- 1:05:58Yeah, just he's gonna get minutes.
- 1:06:01I think he starts every game, he plays 70 plus minutes and you
- 1:06:05guys want to take a guess how many points he has on the year.
- 1:06:0922 zero. Shut up.
- 1:06:12He has zero points. Yeah, So he had the one point
- 1:06:17again. He had one point in the first
- 1:06:18game and he had -1 point in the second game against City.
- 1:06:22Zero points. I And it's a player.
- 1:06:25You probably don't have to give up one of your top players as
- 1:06:28well. You could just kind of give like
- 1:06:31a clue there for him. That's not a bad idea.
- 1:06:33I think I like that one too. Tico.
- 1:06:37You know what's sad is that Fabio Silva has more points than
- 1:06:40Marcus Ashford right now. Fabio Silva from Wolves, who
- 1:06:43started against Brighton. There's a lot of players,
- 1:06:46there's a lot of very mediocre players that have more points
- 1:06:48than Marcus Ashford. Half the Tottenham team.
- 1:06:52Half the Tottenham team? True.
- 1:06:54That is probably a fact. I love being in leagues when
- 1:06:58there are people who panic after like the first like couple of
- 1:07:00weeks and they try to make moves.
- 1:07:02If the players are drafted high, aren't performing.
- 1:07:04Tica, maybe we can cook up some sort of trade offer for Holland.
- 1:07:07All right. You want to do this on the air
- 1:07:10or you want to? They got negotiate offline,
- 1:07:13Negotiate offline. I wish we could veto trades, you
- 1:07:16bastards. My take on that is the only time
- 1:07:18you should veto trade as if it's clearly collision.
- 1:07:21If both parties are happy and there's no foul play.
- 1:07:23OK, so collusion. Collusion being what key?
- 1:07:26What is Collusion? Liblings.
- 1:07:28You should now let siblings. Make trades, yeah.
- 1:07:30This What's collusion? Collusion is like I'm clearly
- 1:07:34giving like it's not a fair trade, like I'm doing something
- 1:07:37to benefit to go see him and and and hurt my team.
- 1:07:41What Tico and Sergey did was not collusion, where they discussed
- 1:07:45how to make each other's teens better because someone fucked up
- 1:07:48on their fucking pic. Absolutely.
- 1:07:50Now that was a draft they trade. I said I want that player.
- 1:07:54Let me know which player you want me to draft.
- 1:07:56Yeah, I didn't have an issue with that at all.
- 1:07:58Just me. Just me, then.
- 1:08:01Typical Hotspur player. One thing doesn't go their way.
- 1:08:05Starts crying. Complaining.
- 1:08:08That's loser mentality. That's why your team never won a
- 1:08:10championship. We've won championships, man.
- 1:08:14We've been around for years. We were the first thing to do
- 1:08:16double. We're the first thing to ever
- 1:08:17win a European Cup. English team at least.
- 1:08:20So like the 1800s? We're not talking about dates,
- 1:08:24all right, Mr. Friggin, Russia bought my team and all of a
- 1:08:28sudden I became good. Oh, I'm sorry, I.
- 1:08:30Just have trophies in the last. You know, do you know, do you
- 1:08:33know That story, Abramovich, that story.
- 1:08:36That's essentially a pretty good story.
- 1:08:37I care about that story. It's not a bad.
- 1:08:39Story go ahead, go tell us. He came, he put no.
- 1:08:43Well, well, well, Tico, it's my story.
- 1:08:44Tico, it's my story. Abramovich came.
- 1:08:46He was going to buy White Hart Lanes or by Tottenham and he
- 1:08:50gets in his helicopter and he's flying over London to the
- 1:08:52airport and he flies over frigging Stanford Bridge on the
- 1:08:56West Side. He goes, what team is that?
- 1:08:58And he goes. I want to buy that team instead
- 1:09:00and he buys fucking Chelsea. And that following year, the one
- 1:09:03that went on that spending 3 where he had like fricking
- 1:09:05Baalak, Shevchenko, Crespo. What could have been, huh?
- 1:09:08And so yeah. What could have been, man?
- 1:09:10What could have freaking been. We actually know what could have
- 1:09:13been 2 Champions Leagues, one year of FA Cup.
- 1:09:17We know exactly what could have been as.
- 1:09:22Fucking but I I read that story before, but I just don't know
- 1:09:26the details behind it. It's not like Stanford bridges
- 1:09:28this amazing looking stadium. What kind of made him want to
- 1:09:31be? It's in West London, which is a
- 1:09:33nice area than Tottenham. Location, Location, Location.
- 1:09:37Yes, correct. Ah, alright.
- 1:09:43That was such a defeated sty. And so that was such a defeated
- 1:09:46sty. I'm.
- 1:09:47A fucking Tottenham fan. What you expect, man?
- 1:09:49Like, I go roll with the highs when I've got them.
- 1:09:51That's why I go hard. And when I lose, that's when I
- 1:09:55just I go radio silence. All right.
