#74 - #AngeOut + Buying the Man U Bottom · Draft Offsides Podcast

0:00
Are you regretting becoming a Man United fan?
0:02
And as the coach said, the worst season, the worst team in the
0:05
history of Man United. Absolutely not.
0:07
This is when you want to jump on the bandwagon because you could
0:09
say I was there with the worst times.
0:11
So when when Lori comes back to us, it will feel much.
0:15
Better Hello and welcome to episode 74 of Dropped Off Sides.
0:20
I'm with Tiko Enzo. My name is Keith and we are just
0:24
finishing up round 22 of the Premier League.
0:27
We are getting what, pass halfway?
0:30
It's starting to feel chunky. We're getting to the business
0:33
side of the the season man business side.
0:36
Kicking off the week, we have Newcastle one, Bournemouth 4.
0:40
This was the surprise of the week for me.
0:43
Like more so than Man United losing, that's like kind of a
0:45
given. More so than Tottenham losing,
0:47
that's kind of a given. Like like, sorry, but that's
0:50
just kind. Of like, no, you're right.
0:52
Like, it's just that this was, I mean, Newcastle had been on such
0:56
a roll and had let in, I think they'd let in four goals in
1:00
their last, like, eight games. Yeah.
1:03
No, you're right. So the let in four here was just
1:06
shocking, especially I said what you started to Newcastle
1:10
defenders. I was shocked and appalled.
1:13
Wow, man, it was a rough week. Look, Newcastle's been 5 for for
1:17
a few weeks now. Look, if you asked, looked at a
1:19
month ago, I think a month over a month ago, they're in 14 or 12
1:23
and now now they're in the top five.
1:26
I watch this game, Bournemouth just tactically more aggressive.
1:30
It just they just seem to outshine this neutral.
1:33
Am I worried about new gospel? I don't think so.
1:35
I think they just got caught, caught slipping and a little bit
1:38
comfortable and they just didn't produce.
1:40
Do you think that this was more Bournemouth than Newcastle then?
1:42
Like I feel like Bournemouth has been so good and I think it
1:45
might actually be that. No, it was more Bournemouth.
1:47
Don't go wrong. They scored and then Guimarres
1:50
got that equalizer. Then after that it was all
1:53
Bournemouth. After that it was all
1:54
Bournemouth. In in the goalkeeper had to save
1:57
them as well. He had 6 saves and he did finish
2:00
with six 6.25 points, which when you let him four goals were kind
2:03
of crazy. And prior to Dubrovka he had
2:05
like 5 out of 6 clean sheets that he let him one goal prior
2:08
to it so and the Newcastle was better on two as as the surprise
2:12
thing. Yep, climber with a hat trick.
2:14
His second hat trick of the season.
2:16
This was his first one that didn't involve 3 penalties
2:18
though, so it's probably, it probably felt a little sweeter.
2:20
You know, that first sort of felt probably a little
2:22
counterfeit. That last goal was amazing.
2:25
I mean, they're all solid. I mean, solid goals, yeah.
2:27
Is he? I mean, we kind of always talked
2:29
about him because his dad was such a famous player and you
2:31
guys kind of would always joke about that.
2:32
But he's kind of really stepping into his own place in this team
2:36
now, huh? You know that Patrick Climber,
2:38
his father play for Newcastle. Yep.
2:42
Yep, and he scored. He scored a hat trick for
2:44
Newcastle. So it's like literally 14 years
2:46
apart. I think it is.
2:47
That's crazy. It's fucking nuts.
2:49
You suck at a rough game. What does that mean?
2:52
Well, how many points is a rough game?
2:54
I don't think it was. I think it was it, was it like
2:57
2.75 or something? Something's silly.
2:59
Let me pull it out. Right.
3:00
I mean, the the streak is officially ended.
3:03
His goals on the streak. He's he's done, but he's it's
3:05
still an amazing season. Will he bounce back?
3:08
I think he will. I think it was interesting.
3:10
I want to point out that Isaac looked like he really struggled
3:13
against the boy with defenders. It was.
3:16
What's his name? Oh, chill kid.
3:19
Yeah, chill guy. Had him in his pocket.
3:22
Had him in his pocket. His hand.
3:24
Yeah, right. Into his hand, just chilling.
3:27
Yeah, it was interesting. I yeah, I, I mean, I think ESAC
3:30
was due for a bad reason, maybe strikers.
3:32
It happens. If you you jinxed, then you're
3:34
the one who called him out last week.
3:35
You're like. Yeah, you did.
3:37
You jinxed a lot of players. I do.
3:38
I mean, that's I'm. I'm just a walking jinx.
3:40
I'm. Going to tell you right now, if
3:41
you look at Bournemouth and you look at the money they spent and
3:43
the players they bought, so you really think about it so they
3:45
got that that Hois Hoisen Hoisen young kid really good.
3:49
They got carcass again. They cost them that much money.
3:52
They're. Amazing.
3:53
He's like, he's probably going to go for like 40-50 million.
3:57
Easy. They're going to make some
3:57
profit on him and then it's just the defense, like Zabarani,
4:01
another good one that they didn't really spend that much
4:03
money on. Maybe some video?
4:04
I doubt they spent that much on some video when they got out of
4:06
a few, no. And then they they stayed loaned
4:09
out Netzo and then picked up Keppa like what the fuck?
4:12
That works for them. Yeah, it works out.
4:14
Great business, well run. I'll give it to Bournemouth.
4:17
Ariola. I think Ariola will probably go
4:19
to a big team pretty soon. You think so?
4:21
I don't think he's going anywhere anytime soon.
4:23
Really. I think he's going to, no, I
4:24
think I think like once, yeah, I could see there's a few
4:28
different teams. I could see Tottenham trying to
4:29
go for him. What?
4:30
What do we think about David Brooks?
4:33
Two of the last two games he started and he had games of
4:36
18.756 and 7.5. He's averaging 10.1 points in
4:42
the last four man. 8% roster, that's a really good shot.
4:44
I have not really paid attention to him, so that's a really good
4:47
shot. And with the injuries at
4:48
Bournemouth, he could be a big a big lookout as a good shot, very
4:53
good shot. That is, I use, I'm adding no
4:56
inserts because I think that's a good one.
4:59
OK, Moving on, though. Next game, Brentford 0,
5:03
Liverpool 2. This was looking like a nil, nil
5:05
jaw, wasn't it? All the way through.
5:08
Yeah. But then Nunes comes on like in
5:11
what, in the 88th minute or something like that, like last
5:13
minute and scores two goals in selfish time.
5:15
You obviously never, no one's ever starting Nunes when he has
5:17
been playing so badly. But still, it's good to see him
5:19
get some points that end up being 21.75 points in 24
5:22
minutes, 24 minutes. Trent really stole the show
5:26
though with his 30.75 by getting an assist, getting a clean
5:29
sheet, having a bunch of key passes.
5:32
What is it? 5 key passes, 3 accurate
5:34
crosses, 2 interceptions, 3 effective clearances, 1 tackle,
5:37
the assist, the clean sheet. This is what you dropped it for.
5:41
And it's like about damn time you had a game like this.
5:43
It's been a it's been a little while.
5:45
Yeah, man, Trent's, he's so good man.
5:48
I know he had a rough game in the last game, but just looking
5:50
at those points, I know the assist in the clean sheet, take
5:52
those away, he's still got like 20 points right there in Ghost
5:56
Points. And it's not even just
5:57
attacking, it's defending also so.
5:59
When the transfer window closes and he sell the team, I'm going
6:02
to open up a a bottle line and it's a celebratory bottle line.
6:06
He's still going nowhere. I know they're just that that
6:08
fear is is there other than that, there wasn't that much to
6:12
talk about. I mean, I kudos to Brentford for
6:14
holding them as long as they did.
6:16
I wasn't it like so I think they had this was the most shots ever
6:19
taken in a Premier League game again from a single team. 37
6:24
shots, 35 of them were unsuccessful.
6:26
The last two shots of the game were two goals, Two goals.
6:30
Yeah. Is that crazy?
6:32
That's. Crazy.
6:33
OK. I mean, I think there's probably
6:35
better matchups for both these guys coming up, so.
6:38
Yeah, not concerned Salah didn't show up this game.
6:40
He's like average. Didn't show up.
6:42
It's still 16 points, which is so infuriating because that's
6:44
such a good, that's such a good score for anyone else.
6:47
And that's what I'm saying. So Tika, I'm not making fun of
6:50
him. I'm just saying he did show up
6:51
but still scored 1612 fourteen points but he doesn't show.
6:54
Up. It was crazy, this one.
6:55
Keith was saying, you know, they had the most shots.
6:57
He has suddenly keep passes. That's something right there
6:59
just from his passes. Yeah.
7:01
That's 14 points right there. That's nice.
7:04
Brentford plays Crystal Palace next week.
7:06
That's a game secret. You're gonna you're excited
7:07
about starting those. Got all those guys.
7:09
I don't know them, I don't know. Crystal Palace has been good
7:12
bro. Yeah, but it's still like a game
7:14
you're ready to start players against.
7:15
Like, you're not gonna, you're not gonna not start anyone
7:17
because you're like with Crystal Palace.
7:19
You know. But yeah, Liverpool plays
7:21
Ipswich, so both of those games are like, yeah, oh, Crystal
7:24
Palace. But watch me say this now.
7:27
Crystal Palace is going to beat them by 5 one just because
7:29
that's just how it goes. That's just how it goes.
7:31
Liverpool. Ipswich too.
7:33
I mean, Liverpool, you're happy with all your Liverpool.
7:34
Oh yeah, No, that one, That one you can say go right ahead.
7:37
Liverpool defenders are still just the best, best thing.
7:40
You want them. You want every single defender
7:42
you can get from Liverpool that's starting the next game.
7:45
Leicester 0 full of two just felt like one of those games
7:48
where it was just always going to be full on.
7:50
Like last year. They just, they just seem like
7:52
pushovers. I don't think there's anything
7:53
there. Just stealing from the babies
7:56
man like. Just yeah.
7:57
So they're still from the rich and the poor now?
7:59
Yeah, man, they're. They're just, they're not even,
8:01
they're not even noble anymore with their thievery.
8:04
Honestly, I like the I've watched a few film games, like
8:07
they look good. Line transition, play, passing
8:10
defensively. They're really good, man.
8:13
Yeah. Emil Smith role had a goal.
8:16
I know. Remember, Remember my trade for
8:19
my great trade for him last. Night no I thought yeah dude, I
8:22
think I think a few of us had a couple players on the bench that
8:25
we shouldn't have had on the bench I.
8:26
Think Yeah, me, both of us, Sigo and I bought the.
8:28
Doku at 30 plus points I think I had Kai hammers and I had
8:32
fucking tillamers on the bench. Tigo, you're as if you would
8:35
have started. Doku would have won, right?
8:36
Yeah, even if I started Danielle, we.
8:38
Did play each other, I meet Tigo and I play each other.
8:41
We both had terrible weeks like both of us barely crack I barely
8:46
cracked 70 points but managed to managed to win but but both of
8:50
us we we left like 30 plus points on each of our benches.
8:54
Both of us would have lost to anyone else.
8:57
Yeah, absolutely. Isn't full of one of the more
9:00
frustrating teams just because they changed the line lines a
9:03
lot and they're very consistent players.
9:05
They have a good outside of like Robinson.
9:06
They have a bunch of refielders. Robinson, but won't be for the
9:10
most part. It's really consistent as.
9:11
Well, I'm worried about why we came off at half time.
9:14
Was it an injury though? I don't know, but you coming off
9:17
at half time, that's a big freaking change to make if
9:19
you'll make it a tactical change and that's never happened this
9:22
season, so I don't know. I would need to see a little bit
9:25
more to be worried. I mean, he's been such a stud
9:27
for them. Like they they scored it.
9:29
They scored what, they scored both goals in the second-half.
9:32
Yeah. So yeah, it's a little weird,
9:34
but I would just, I wouldn't be worried yet.
9:38
Harry Wilson with 25.5 points, He's, he was on waivers a few
9:40
weeks back. I kind of wish I would have
9:41
grabbed him when he was on waivers, but he's been really
9:43
solid since then. And I it'll be interesting to
9:47
see like Smith Row and him and what kind of happens cuz I,
9:50
yeah, there's just interesting things there going on.
9:54
OK next game. Any other comments?
9:57
I'll just, you know, Robinson still the best left back in the
9:59
left. He will be, yeah, he will be.
10:01
Sub was I guess he wasn't feeling good prior to the game.
10:04
I don't know if he was sick or not.
10:05
So it was an injury related. Nothing happened during that
10:08
game. You could breathe and.
10:09
It was like his boy like flew and.
10:11
Neat. Those auwobi points, man.
10:13
And he those auwobi points anyway.
10:16
Next game Westham 0, Palace 2. Great part is not quite having
10:21
that bounce that we'd hoped he would, right?
10:24
Well, what? He won the first game, right?
10:26
Last one. Lost the cup game.
10:28
Won the first league game, lost the second league game.
10:32
I. Don't think that balance is a
10:33
real thing. It is for some.
10:35
Yeah, maybe I just feel like like don't get it wrong, like
10:41
Evan against Tottenham that I guess I'll sort of a bounce with
10:44
Moyes. But like, I think it's, it's who
10:47
you play like they played CE, May, United, Liverpool.
10:50
Oh yeah, you're. Spanked on.
10:53
I think it's more like it's probably the type of manager
10:55
that comes in who's like bitchy Moyes comes in there is like,
10:57
listen the fuck up to me like I'm in a I'm your fucking idiot.
11:01
Or in that accent. Yeah, like, and like just scares
11:03
everyone. And we're like Grand Potter is
11:05
like such a polite little bastard.
11:06
He's. Probably like you think.
11:07
Right, guys. You guys are doing your best.
11:09
Everyone's trying so hard. Everyone gets a Gold Star,
11:13
Chico. Chic Chico check chat real
11:17
quick. And also next Mateta with a
11:22
brace. He is now 27 points that game.
11:26
He's finding the form the end of the end of last season.
11:28
I think he's been kind of decent all season.
11:30
I know there you went there a little phase where when Olive
11:32
Palace struggled, but now that they're kind of getting back in
11:35
the groove, it's pretty, pretty good.
11:37
Yes. Well, yeah.
11:38
Four goals in the last 314 and a half, sixteen and a half 27, so
11:41
it's been on a little streak. Yeah, if he gets back to that
11:45
form, that's the same form we had at the end of last season
11:48
where he he he pulled me back into the top three and one of my
11:51
legs. No, he he can't score.
11:55
Is it Chris Richards with 15.25 points backpack, double digit
11:59
game, 6% roster with Chaliba gone?
12:02
I think Chris Richards is a really good child.
12:04
Yeah, if you need a defender, I don't think it's a bad shot.
12:08
Yeah, I love that. Anyone else kind of this game?
12:11
I think that I think you're a little worried with the West Ham
12:14
stuff. I think with not having a
12:15
strikers a problem play but catch up top is not really going
12:18
to win you any games. No.
12:20
Kudus Kudus hasn't really looked good since grandpa has been
12:23
there. But I feel give it time, give it
12:26
time. I think this is going to work
12:27
out what was the right management is West Ham team.
12:29
I feel with this tactics, just give him time.
12:32
I think he's remember when you get when you get brought in
12:35
halfway through the season. I don't think there's that much
12:37
expectation except for get through and the star base.
12:40
You know what I mean? I think that's fair.
12:42
I think I, I mean, how many practices do you think they've
12:44
had? You know what I mean?
12:45
Like it's been like a weird. Like it's been a weird thing, a
12:48
dozen practices you. Know maybe even with all the
12:50
games they've had in between since he got sacked yeah I'm
12:53
kind of with you on that I'm I'm not loving attack.
12:55
Why say attacking options right now though, until I start to see
12:57
a little bit more life? Yeah, I hear you.
12:59
Well, as they, I think going to assist this game too, so.
13:02
And he's quietly having a good season.
13:04
Yeah, I mean, it's hard to happen for Palace with between
13:06
Eze and SAR and Matata. Those are those are the three
13:10
pieces you want on that team. Yeah, sure.
13:12
Yeah, all right. Arsenal 2 and then obviously
13:14
Munez, obviously Mitchell. Yeah, I mean some of the then
13:17
the defenders of Palace have been these pretty decent.
13:19
Well, they've been stat like, quietly having like.
13:22
Yeah, it's kind of what happened last year where it kind of
13:24
sticks up on you and then you then all of a sudden and like
13:27
that, this is really easy to let players like that sit on waivers
13:30
and then all of a sudden someone snaps some.
13:31
By the time you look, they're gone.
13:32
You really like this kind of now is the time you need to be
13:34
grabbing some of these guys, some of these like defenders and
13:37
stuff. OK, next game, Arsenal 2, Villa
13:39
2. Arsenal was up to.
13:41
Oh, and gave up two late goals. Yeah, it's a rough game for I
13:47
really don't even think that it was that bad.
13:49
It didn't seem that bad until the two goals went in like they
13:54
they were. They had a really good First
13:55
off, and then was it Watkins got that one that caught Cross and
14:01
who's? The other goal?
14:03
Tillerman's. Tillerman's.
14:04
They start with them what, like 7-8 minutes twice?
14:08
Yeah, they could. They scored both goals real
14:10
quick. And don't get wrong, they had a
14:11
goal to sell out Arsenal. It was a handball.
14:15
It is what is the role of the game is as a handball.
14:18
But they were unlucky. I think Trots are lucky.
14:20
Yeah, Trots are. Had a hell of a game. 25 points
14:22
to assist. I had a bunch of elements in
14:25
there too. But who else showed up in that
14:27
game for Arsenal? I mean, Mardelli scored, but did
14:30
he really show? No, he didn't show.
14:31
Up No, I would say no. No, yeah, I think the same
14:35
problems persist even with two goals to this game.
14:38
No for the Arsenal standpoint Good good on Villa to to to kind
14:43
of pull it back Watkins with the other goal.
14:46
Tila Benz is Chico. I know you were you were kind of
14:48
talking about Tila Benz a few weeks ago that you felt like
14:50
there was a drop off there. This could might be the surge
14:52
of. Tila coming back?
14:54
Yeah, maybe. So he's probably on places, but
14:57
maybe you can get a cheeky little trade for him.
15:00
Ben, are we worried about Arsenal defense where last year
15:03
there were kind of fishy guarantees.
15:05
Now going back, the last time they had seen she was on
15:08
December 27th against this switch and prior to the I think.
15:11
That's super valid. Yeah, that's valid.
15:14
Yeah, that's super valid. What do you think that is like?
15:17
The only difference to me is Zinchenko.
15:20
There's no Zinchenko there. No.
15:21
Everything we want, everything else is the same.
15:23
No, but it's what I'm I'm saying that's the only difference,
15:25
right? Because Zinchenko is playing
15:27
left back anyway. That's right that way.
15:29
Then why that way? Not being there is a lot.
15:31
Because they have had injuries. Yeah.
15:34
That was your He hasn't been playing.
15:35
Who cares? I chair.
15:37
Is that my team Flower This. Yeah.
15:40
Yeah. Cauliflower doesn't matter.
15:42
But yeah, I think that's, I, I think, I think that's really a
15:44
shot that's only 7 to watch. They definitely don't feel as
15:46
dominant defensively as they did earlier this season even.
15:50
Who's doing who? Who is though?
15:51
You know what? Defenders are actually
15:52
different. In my being this season even
15:55
defenders have done really well. Clean sheets, full defenders.
15:58
Have they been? Have they been scoring really
16:00
high? Points this this season they've
16:01
they've been a lot of clean sheets, not even forest
16:04
defenders. Newcastle.
16:06
Newcastle defenders yeah, so I just that's just not with just
16:09
not there yeah OK, let's let's move on Everton 3 Tottenham two
16:14
boys gets his first win. It was a big one.
16:16
They were up three O 2 against Tottenham.
16:18
It wasn't it wasn't like this like crazy game.
16:20
Then Tottenham they kind of took their foot off the gas and
16:23
Tottenham scored two later on fans turn on ends and the rest
16:26
of the team. I heard that they were like kind
16:28
of make a joke chance. They're like doing like olays
16:30
where they pass the ball and like they were kind of like it
16:32
was to the point where they like kind of given up.
16:34
Yeah, because they were, they were fed up with the game.
16:36
They were fed up. They're fed up with the tactics.
16:38
You know what I mean? I watched the game.
16:42
It just it's just the same fucking pig and pony show, you
16:47
know what I mean? It's just the same shit.
16:50
It's it's attack, attack, attack, which is, don't be
16:53
wrong, I love the attacking side, but it's the game caught
16:56
on that fucking highline with this makeshift defense that we
16:59
got with the 18 year old. We're making plays centre back.
17:02
It's really rough to own any Tottenham defender right now or
17:05
even the goalkeeper is the only one you might might be happy to
17:08
take because you'll get a few saves here and there.
17:10
But besides that, rough. Yeah, I don't think you should
17:13
be starting any tons. No, this was now extra upsetting
17:16
for me because Madison finally got the start plate.
17:18
The whole 90 minutes fucking guy.
17:20
All this gave me two points. Yep.
17:23
So what do you think that is? You think he's just better off
17:25
the bench? Is that, is that what it seems?
17:26
I mean, I'm not saying it's not, but like that, like look at he's
17:29
come off the bench and he's been performing, but he's gets a
17:31
start. He's just absent.
17:33
No, I think, I think this is literally he didn't get enough
17:36
of the ball. It is indicative of what's going
17:38
on with. Yeah, he just didn't get enough
17:39
of the ball. Everyone dominated that first
17:41
half, you know what I mean? And they didn't have their best
17:44
player in Young on the pitch, you know what I mean?
17:46
He didn't. Stop some of the points.
17:50
Got Gay with 22 points to assist Lindstrom 22 points Tottenham
17:54
side cool SIF Sefski summit have 21.5 points.
17:58
Dominic who's what are you talking about here?
18:00
Calvin Lewin. Oh, DCL, yeah, I thought that
18:03
goalie, that was a really well taken goal.
18:05
Is it me or did he look like a different player of this game?
18:09
He's like, yeah, like confidence is what?
18:11
Yes, that's what that's what I'm saying.
18:12
I think that it's I think that he's like a veteran and he's
18:16
good enough that he could kick on from this, especially with
18:18
the new coach and stuff. I'm interested in him.
18:21
Yeah, I, I, I think there was just someone I noticed about him
18:24
in this game. Even when he took that goal, it
18:26
just seemed like he was wreaking confidence, like maybe Moises
18:30
put sign in him where maybe he's back.
18:32
You know what I mean? Yeah, he's a gamble, though.
18:34
He's probably owned. I think he's owned like 74%.
18:37
Yeah, he's. Owned a little more than yeah,
18:40
yeah. And then Richarlson, we're going
18:42
to talk about heaven waivers, but he is back kind of.
18:46
He loses plenty. Swear to goal, look good.
18:48
I think the other concerning thing for Tottenham is there was
18:50
more injuries. Dominic Salaki went out with a
18:53
knee injury, and knees, as we know, are just the scariest
18:55
thing to injure. So let's see what happens there,
18:58
no? No, fuck my life.
19:01
It's. Tough.
19:01
At least you get to do. All the nature listen, dance now
19:03
and are. The chicken dance.
19:06
There you. Go.
19:08
He got to go. To Evan for the last time before
19:10
they shut down the stadium to the fucking score a goal he's.
19:13
And he scored a. Goal, I mean.
19:15
I mean, how many schools did he score there when he was an
19:17
Everton player? Not that like a lot.
19:20
In the he was there what, five years?
19:22
No. No way.
19:23
Maybe like 3. No, I think he was.
19:25
There like 4-5 years. Yeah. 14. 13710 So what?
19:29
What is that? Twenty 30-40 something or four
19:31
years? 4747 goals.
19:35
Yeah, nowhere. No way. 47 goals, 44.
19:38
Wow. more than I thought. All right, moving on.
19:40
Next game. United won.
19:42
Brighton three. No one's surprised you want you.
19:48
Want you? Oh, no, we weren't really.
19:49
I weren't really. I was.
19:50
I mean, I was. Never going to bet on United in
19:51
this game. I was never going to bet.
19:52
On United, I thought it was going to be a draw, but I didn't
19:55
think they they got spanked. Let's be honest here, they got
19:58
fucking spanked by Brian. Amor I enter him kind of
20:03
mentioned it in the intro, but he said that there was the worst
20:06
United team since since ever. He said it's ever Yeah, but he
20:11
was saying it like he's part of it.
20:12
Like I think the comments are getting taken out of context
20:14
where he was like blaming the players.
20:16
He's saying like we are the worst team.
20:18
Like him. I think, you know, he wasn't
20:20
trying to. I didn't think of it as much as
20:22
like he was trying to blame the players.
20:24
I think he was trying to just take accountability.
20:26
Like he's like we all need to take accountability for the fact
20:28
that we suck. But I I don't.
20:30
Think he understands how the English press works?
20:31
Shit. Yeah, clearly.
20:33
Not because they're having a condition they.
20:35
They I'm going to tell you right now, the papers the next day.
20:38
Fucking hell that a fucking filthy.
20:41
Yeah, isn't it? Minta scored a goal in the 1st 5
20:44
minutes. I had the weirdest thing that
20:46
sexy guys about. I was panicking.
20:48
I was trying to pick up Minta waivers to start and like
20:52
something was happening and wouldn't let me pick him up and
20:54
I was like it's fine, it's fine, it's not going to be a big deal.
20:56
And then like 5 minutes and they gave me scoring.
20:57
What was it? Ghost really stomping around my
20:59
room, just fuming, stomping around.
21:02
But it's all good because I still won, even though he's
21:04
still won by Whiskey. But Toma 22.75 points, he's
21:08
quietly been having a very good He's having a comeback season.
21:11
Yeah, he's having a comeback. Right now, the lost game.
21:13
It's not a lot of fanfare. There's not a lot of people
21:15
talking about him, not a lot there going on, you know?
21:19
But I like Matone. We've always loved Matone.
21:20
It's just about his consistency. You you mean like, you know, we
21:25
where I see him playing wolves, imagine him and Huang on the
21:30
wings tearing it up. See me?
21:33
No, I don't think that's bad. It's just because they're both.
21:35
Asian No. No.
21:36
I didn't say that. I didn't say that.
21:39
What? Is what is it about because.
21:41
It's because they both how they both play on the wings.
21:44
They're both very. Heavy dribblers.
21:47
Whoa, who said that? Why you keep saying that out
21:50
loud? I don't know, a little suspect.
21:55
I'm Asian, fair enough to the guy.
21:56
Lender. That's not easy.
21:57
Fair enough. United are we like we're we're
22:02
back. I mean, just they've never been
22:03
good enough. No, I don't.
22:05
It's going to be it's. Going to get worse before it
22:06
gets better. Are we kind of in that?
22:08
I think it's. I think they're waiting for the
22:09
season to end so they can start rebuilding.
22:11
Really. Yeah.
22:12
But Bruno Fernandez. The game, I'm a good game.
22:15
And of course before we move on from this game, we have to, you
22:18
know, give a shout to Anthony. It was possibly his farewell
22:20
game. He got off for 5 minutes.
22:24
Shot big up, big ups to the guy you know.
22:27
The mean guy. Wait, wait in in solidarity with
22:32
Anthony. And what do you say?
22:33
Like it's a loving memory of him.
22:35
Let me do a spin in my chair. You.
22:40
Know what? He's one of the many players May
22:41
United has ruined. May of the one of the many
22:44
wingers that May United. Yeah, I also.
22:47
Do you hear that Garnacha might be sold?
22:49
Yep, I've been saying that. Yeah, that's alarming.
22:53
It's not. You know what?
22:54
I like it. You know why?
22:56
Because Ameren's like, fuck this.
22:58
I'm getting rid of everybody that's not playing the way I
23:01
want them to play. Xerxene Holden might be on their
23:04
way out too. Hoyland I didn't hear about.
23:05
That really I didn't hear about Hoyland.
23:07
People are going after like The Who was that I saw they want to
23:10
buy both of them even oh Milan because they couldn't and they
23:13
were going after Josh Ellis too. So both of those who might be on
23:17
their way out and then anything. Concrete or Rashford?
23:21
I thought it was Fabrizio, but we got up.
23:23
And back I thought. So here we go.
23:25
Did I not get it? Do we not get it?
23:26
Here we go. No, no here.
23:28
No, here we go, I could have sworn.
23:29
We got it. Here we go while you pull West.
23:31
Ham trying to buy Duran, did you see that?
23:33
I did see 47 million, yeah, they were like.
23:35
Fuck you semi. Maybe you could?
23:38
Buy Watkins for 47 but not the round Solly Marsh got on Damn 20
23:43
minutes he did he. Also.
23:45
Saw that take. 20 minutes, he's back.
23:46
Baby, he's back. He's officially.
23:51
On I think he's AI think he's officially on waivers though.
23:54
I think fine, even Sergei gave up on him.
23:56
Yeah, finally. I hey.
23:58
Maybe, maybe we're picking up in the other league.
24:00
When I traded for March he dropped him so I added him back
24:03
on. So it's like literally.
24:05
Yeah, the raffle. Nothing.
24:06
That's annoying, OK. Moving on we start shocked next
24:11
game 4 is 3, Southampton 2 honestly the worst part of this
24:14
was that Southampton scored two goals yeah I wanted this to be a
24:17
three hour clean sheet so I can get those sweet sweet I would
24:19
have I would have won my. Match up.
24:21
If it was a clean sheet Maria would have fucking went off for
24:23
me. Ouch.
24:26
Yeah, they were so pretty much they would have 30.
24:28
It was just an afterthought and then but Southampton scored two
24:30
and made it nervous at the end. Chris Wood with another goal,
24:33
46.5 points MVP. I don't know about MVP, but no,
24:38
no, wait. Let me let me give my argument.
24:41
Why goal and? Assists 5 Arials, 1/2 key
24:44
passes, one shot on target, 1 tackle a block, one successful
24:46
dribble. Him doing a successful dribble
24:48
should be like that's crazy. He's that's fucking nut.
24:51
She like 10 points. What's your?
24:52
Richer reasoning. My reason being that knowing
24:55
Forrester in 2nd and it's not solely due to him but he is a
24:58
big part of it with his goals and his assists.
25:02
He has been key. 3 assists, that is huge for a player of his
25:07
stature from New Zealand, a fucking Kiwi.
25:10
They play rugby in cricket, they don't play football.
25:13
It's fucking MVP in my opinion. He's playing in Nottingham
25:16
Forest, Nottingham, Shuttingham Forest and he's got them up to
25:21
second. If they stay in second, he's
25:23
MVP. First you go after these, then
25:27
the Kiwis and also I like the fact that he plays some forest
25:30
and his name is Wood kind of adds to the.
25:34
Stupid. I like that.
25:37
Yeah, I do like that too. I like that.
25:39
I think, I don't know if MVP is the right term, but I think like
25:42
the the Most Valuable Player, the most important player.
25:46
On the team, but. No, he's not the most important,
25:48
but like I just think like the most like surprised, surprising
25:51
player. I'll give you that.
25:52
Like there's something, I don't know what the right term
25:53
verbiage is like the most you know what, like the out of out
25:56
of left field guy. We're just like, holy shit.
25:58
I know it's possible. I know we say that.
26:00
But then our our guests gave us the fucking inside scoop and.
26:05
But again told. Us that would, yeah, Ryan.
26:07
We had Ryan. We.
26:07
Had the most points per start and shout out.
26:10
Draft society. Yeah, Thank.
26:12
You draft society. That was a great fucking show.
26:15
That was he. Matched his goal, told her from
26:16
last year already in nine last games and he doubled his assist
26:20
which, you know, doubling the system isn't a lot, but it's
26:22
kind of yeah, no, it's great it's.
26:24
Phenomenal for for forced all about they can sustain it.
26:28
I see. Well look, they sustained it for
26:30
more than half a season so far, so the odds are in their favor.
26:33
Weren't they bad in? Relegation last year ever in
26:35
your. Favor Oh yeah, they.
26:37
Were, yeah, I mean, they also had some points taken away.
26:39
But even with that, it was their battle evaluation.
26:42
Jan Bendorick, the South African defender, I'm being told he's
26:45
averaging 12 points, 12 S .75 points the last few games, lost
26:49
six games. That's pretty good.
26:52
But I also I, I, I'm not going to bite on that, I don't think.
26:56
But I'm just saying if you need a defender and you got someone
26:58
that's not getting you more than like four or five points, he
27:01
could get you in double digits because he's going in five and
27:04
the lost 6. Yeah.
27:06
Yeah, I mean, you're all right. And look at the numbers and he's
27:08
just very active. It's like he's like he has one
27:10
goal, one key pass the whole time period, you know?
27:13
So it's not like he's like doing anything other than just like a
27:16
lot of interceptions and clearances.
27:18
He crosses the block shots and he's going to have a lot.
27:20
Of opportunities to do that, it's up to the.
27:22
Team that's true like the it's like I don't think.
27:25
I've ever seen look at the clearance numbers we talked
27:27
about 665711476. 13. It's the same.
27:34
How many was the 11? Because they let that because
27:36
it's only like .25 for a clearance.
27:38
So what was that Five points right there from just clearances
27:41
and but? That was against.
27:43
Crystal Palace, Yeah. And I don't think I've ever.
27:45
Said this, but they have a favorable matchup coming up
27:47
against Newcastle, which they're going to be tagging, so a lot of
27:49
seriousness. And then they play Ipswich, so
27:51
you might get a clean sheet. So maybe by now do it Keith,
27:56
Maybe. I think it's a good one.
28:00
I will not be doing that, but I think you guys should
28:02
definitely. I have good defenders.
28:03
OK, this guy. Shitting on defenders when he
28:06
was addicted to city defenders for like a whole season, Rob,
28:09
you know. What?
28:10
I'm off city defenders. I'm off them.
28:14
I think you're addicted to city defenders.
28:18
I was not about fucking picking up defenders of the game of the
28:21
season. Yeah, now and.
28:22
Now you're a full. Now you're a full defender
28:24
convict. Yeah, now I go.
28:25
Fucking 5 defenders in my fucking star in lineup the D.
28:28
Eat. That love, that love, that D.
28:32
Whoa, OK, OK. Next one, Next one.
28:35
Ipswich 0, Manchester City 6. Is city back or is it just
28:40
Ipswich? It's just a switch.
28:42
I. Think it's a little bit of both
28:43
I don't think. So I think it's a little bit of.
28:44
Both I think it. I think.
28:46
I think folding scoring goals means that City can be back
28:48
pretty quickly. I think KDBS looked really good
28:50
as well last two games. Both of them had phenomenal
28:53
games, Toku's toku actually being involved and contributing
28:57
30.5 points. Kovich had a good game, 27.25
29:01
points and actually pretty high on Kovich's rest of the season I
29:04
think. I think like if City's playing
29:06
well, he's a viable like third or fourth mid, but if they're
29:09
not playing well, I haven't. He sucks.
29:12
I might have some. Fucking deja vu with Keef right
29:14
now. So I've I've just moved up.
29:16
I've been doing City of Midfielders now, not making his
29:20
way. Up to the Highlands.
29:22
I wouldn't look much into. The this game because it's
29:26
wanted to switch and even for Doku, obviously I would love to
29:29
sail he's back to get the minutes, but I think it had to
29:31
do a lot with being Champions League week and giving Doku some
29:34
minutes because obviously Savia is going to start midweek.
29:37
That's what my guess would be, yeah.
29:39
But it was so upsetting because I had to go either Doku and
29:41
Kunya against Keith and obviously Doku was the right
29:43
choice, but they just this song consistent and Kunya has been
29:47
Kunya against Chelsea, but obviously made their own
29:49
decision. But yeah, it's it happens it.
29:52
Happens, but that's what. Happens though when.
29:54
Doesn't matter who plays Dokoroslavio, they get the
29:56
dribbles, the assists, just. And they're both good.
30:00
I want them to both play, you know, we said.
30:03
That, but it's just not going to.
30:06
Happen and there's there's this bit about Doku where people
30:08
always joke that he only plays well when he's playing against
30:10
old defenders. Have you guys heard that?
30:12
No, oh he's like oh guess what? Oh Doku has a good game.
30:14
Guess what another 30 plus year old defender he must have been
30:17
running against is it is. That no valid.
30:19
I was, I was checking because I really wanted to be, but Ben
30:21
Johnson, Ben Johnson searches 24.
30:24
So there's no excuse. He probably, I mean, he's he's
30:26
probably should be playing in the Championship.
30:28
So it's it's pretty much the same old 20.
30:29
Four. Yeah, yeah, pretty much.
30:31
Yeah. He's an old 24, but I think the
30:35
point with Doku is that some people feel like he only does
30:38
well against inferior opposition.
30:39
He can't quite crack it against like the highest level of doing.
30:43
It all last season, though, to all different kinds of teams,
30:46
it's. Also, these are just what people
30:48
say different when you go. In the first year when people
30:50
are really, they don't know your style, don't know you, you.
30:53
Know you like? Yeah.
30:54
Only seven against forest. Fall against.
30:58
Chelsea, I don't know if we care about that or not.
31:02
No, Chelsea's defense is terrible.
31:03
Yeah. Reese, James.
31:04
Wasn't playing, obviously, yeah. Game.
31:06
Changer. Yeah, yeah.
31:08
That's true. Next.
31:10
Game Speaking of with an injury. Chelsea 3, Chelsea 3, Wolves
31:15
won. Chelsea 3, Wolves won.
31:18
Chelsea won a game. Finally.
31:20
It's been like five games but fucker.
31:22
You release, you won, and it was a convincing win. 3 wide, yeah.
31:25
I mean, it was it was, it was odd because where the goals came
31:28
from, you know, it was it was like a toasted goal.
31:31
That was kind of weird than than a Kukarella goal.
31:34
Like that's like that's like a holiday, you know.
31:38
And then really Madoueke scored. But that goal like child ahead
31:42
of that ball and that ball was going in the net.
31:44
Yeah, Madoueke just headed it. I like Maddow.
31:47
Thank you Madoueke, you nearly well me the game, so it's kind.
31:50
Of funny because remember at the beginning of the season Madoueke
31:52
got in trouble because he wrote. He wrote he thought he was
31:54
posting on his like fins and his like personal Instagram.
31:56
He wrote he this place, this shit hold on Dag Wolverhampton.
32:00
That's right. He had to apologize, but he went
32:02
out and scored a hot chin. That's right.
32:03
So now Wolverhampton comes to Stanford bridge and he scored a
32:06
goal there too. It's pretty funny looks pretty
32:07
funny. Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea like
32:11
you're gonna I I just I don't trust the defenders.
32:13
I know Chaliba had a really good game, 23.75 points with the
32:16
assist and it's a really good story and I really hope that he
32:19
has a great season and he either get stays at Chelsea or he goes
32:24
somewhere where he's appreciated because it's he doesn't deserve
32:26
kind of the treatment he's had at all.
32:29
He'd be a. Stud there, I think he could
32:31
play for. I think he could say for.
32:32
I think he could play for a lot of Premier League teams.
32:34
I don't even know if he needs to do that Yeah, if he doesn't want
32:36
to. James.
32:38
James really had 20.25 points. Go look.
32:40
Oh, because he had an assist, huh?
32:42
Go look yeah. I mean back-to-back double
32:44
teeth. Did I call it or?
32:45
Did I call it? You did.
32:46
It wasn't a very confident call. You weren't confident when you
32:50
when you've said it, but now you got some bollocks.
32:53
No, Yeah. Well, no, we yeah, that's true.
32:55
We can't give give credit. Everyone else will exchange
32:57
this. It's just he's going to get
32:58
injured, unfortunately. Maybe they escape.
33:00
But. They.
33:05
Escape. He's got Terry's Achilles.
33:06
Sorry, I don't. Mean that I'm sorry I'm.
33:08
Sorry, I'm sorry, I don't mean that.
33:10
I'm just saying that's what it tends to happen with him.
33:13
Now you're hitting. On your own kind, he's Nicholas.
33:15
He's Nicholas. Yeah, I know, and I wish he was
33:18
more healthy so he could play for fucking England.
33:20
Maybe we wouldn't have this fucking Carl Walker fucking
33:22
issue. Fuck's sake.
33:24
Yeah, if he could. Get healthy.
33:25
That would just be so good for the league, so good for Chelsea,
33:27
so good for England. Just it would also be.
33:30
Great, for as they've already started, this seems going to be
33:32
good man. With KDB playing the way he is
33:34
and Koseski and Rhys James. That's yeah, dude.
33:37
Did you see fucking the the the special 1?
33:40
He was he was dead, lost like a month ago or two, like two
33:45
months ago, remember, and we'll talk about relegating his horse.
33:48
And now look at him. He beat me.
33:50
He beat Keith. Look at your.
33:52
Stuff. You were in the bottom there.
33:53
You went out like in 10 game, 1X streak and now you're going
33:56
back. Where are you guys on the
33:57
bottom? Yeah, I think it's so this
33:59
league is so streaky as you were fourteen and four at one point.
34:02
You started the season 2 and three and then you you went on,
34:05
then you went fourteen and four. That's crazy.
34:06
And now you're on a now you're on a four-game losing streak to
34:09
14. So bad.
34:10
That's crazy. It's.
34:12
Fuck you. Anything else to talk about in
34:14
the Chelsea game? I thought it was interesting
34:16
that Enzo did. Enzo Fernandez didn't start.
34:18
Kieran Dewsbury Hall came in and got the start.
34:21
Got the start, actually looked pretty good.
34:23
Yeah, but. It doesn't.
34:25
He doesn't look right in that Chelsea uniform.
34:29
I think that he looked good in that position.
34:31
I think he's that backup for Enzo.
34:33
But in the past, he's either played, they tried to play him
34:35
as a six or they tried to play him as a 10, or they tried to
34:38
play him out wide. Yeah, none of those positions
34:40
worked. And this position to me made a
34:41
lot of sense. So that's why I think that like,
34:46
if if you're an Enzo owner and all of a sudden Enzo doesn't
34:49
start and you go fuck, who can I start?
34:51
I think you can confidently put KDH in there.
34:54
Here it is. We all in there.
34:55
It's just like as like a spot start.
34:56
We talked about Nico. Jackson I wouldn't necessarily
34:58
have won. A league or anything.
34:59
Nico Jackson, what are we going to talk about?
35:01
Just another game where he didn't score last time he
35:04
scored. Was December 15.
35:05
It's been a while. It's not great, no.
35:07
It's not good and. He has only one assistant missed
35:10
a pretty good one. Too.
35:11
That's every game. There's actually.
35:14
Some transfer. News for both teams as well.
35:16
I read that Joe Felix, I don't know if you guys thought he
35:19
might be on his way out as well. You.
35:21
Should say similar about that he.
35:23
Matters just because he's not getting any playing time.
35:26
And also I read today that Arsenal might go after Konya for
35:31
this transfer window. I heard that.
35:33
Oh, for this transfer for January.
35:35
I had someone. Else for Arsenal too.
35:37
I thought they were going for someone else, forget who it was.
35:39
I saw that too. I also heard that attacking
35:41
players is what they're going after, yeah.
35:44
I heard that I. Heard that AT Nori might be a
35:46
target for Man United I. Feel main life that no main
35:50
life's going off to the a Belgian.
35:52
Belgian, yeah, but I think I know it's like another option
35:55
there as well. So do we.
35:57
Think it's no. I wish.
35:58
If Klinger. Does go to Arsenal?
36:02
Do you think his value goes up or down?
36:04
I don't think it goes up, but Arsenal doesn't have the money
36:09
to buy Konya I not. That I'm aware of.
36:13
Like I feel like they like they don't sell.
36:15
Players, we spoke about this a million times.
36:17
They've got no money, Sergey, do you do?
36:20
Do they have money to buy a player?
36:22
Like when you guys had the chance to buy ESAC for
36:24
25,000,000 you guys turned it down because you're idiots.
36:28
He said. Yes, it's full of shit.
36:30
Go fund me, I call bullshit. Yeah.
36:34
Fucking secretly they. They just start like one of the
36:36
like, you know, in LA, everyone knows someone that's lost their
36:40
home or something. So there's all these like go
36:41
fund me around where it's like a fight, like fire relief.
36:44
I wonder they started a fire Relief Fund but it's like.
36:47
Odd, but just for. For Arsenal but did multiple.
36:50
Ones. Including yes, monies.
36:52
Yes, monies. Last thing on Nico Jackson where
36:55
you're saying Tico, he's in the last six games, he's only had
36:57
one game, double digit points and that's the only one.
37:00
He got an assist. It's not good enough.
37:02
Yeah, that's not good enough. It's a it's really, it's really
37:04
alarming. What a trade.
37:06
Also to what a fucking trade. Also to.
37:09
Be fair is that? They've only won one game, so
37:12
that's when they went on like a, well, five game.
37:13
True. True, true.
37:15
Yeah, They've been on a little bit of a rough streak.
37:17
He still scored more. Goals than Kunku in the league
37:19
so he's fun. Well, and Kunku.
37:20
He's also started like. Triple the amount of games or
37:22
quadruple no 5X amount of games 6X.
37:25
So do you think this? Changes.
37:26
So are you telling me and? Kunku is better than Jackson.
37:30
I was just asking. It's just a question I think.
37:32
I think they play. Different positions.
37:34
I'm not defensive. I think they play different
37:36
positions. Defensive do you think as our
37:38
Chelsea expert in cuckoo? I read that they might sell him
37:42
but now with his Nicholas bad form dating they might just keep
37:46
him around because that's what Chelsea does.
37:47
Just in Case. No I.
37:49
Think, I think the issue with In Cuckoo is I think it's become
37:51
pretty clear that he does it quite.
37:53
He's not the best #9 at the club, Nico Jackson is the best
37:56
#9 he's not the best. Like in that 10 position.
37:58
Cole Palmer is better in that position.
38:00
He's probably the second best in both those positions.
38:03
And so I think on a different club where he can play, there's
38:06
other clubs that play other formations where he would
38:08
thrive. And I just don't think it's
38:09
Chelsea. I think the thought was at the
38:11
beginning of the year is that In Cuckoo would play in that in
38:14
that kind of like 10 role and Cole Palmer would stay out wide
38:16
like he did last year with Cole Palmer moving to that inside
38:19
role. There's just not really a place
38:20
for him in the start in the start.
38:21
And I think I just. Think with within Cuckoo's
38:24
injury when it happened was just unfortunate it was so.
38:27
Unfortunate. And also Nico.
38:28
Jackson might be more complimentary to Cole Palmer's
38:30
flank style, and obviously it's his.
38:32
I agree with free 1SS. I agree, freezing in it just
38:35
exactly. Everyone was just freezing in
38:37
it. Yeah.
38:37
Cole Palmer. Just wishes that he'd fucking
38:39
scored more of it. Give him more assists, yes.
38:41
I agree with that too. Fuck me.
38:43
Sets him up. All right, let's.
38:44
Are we ready for waivers? Let's go.
38:47
All right, moving on. To waivers first one, Liverpool
38:50
owned 38% of leagues. Symbicus from the left back.
38:55
I think the thought is that Robertson is kind of on the
38:57
decline. Symbicus came in and contributed
39:00
as a sub and then a solid but not spectacular game this week
39:03
where he got a clean sheet. Everything looked good from a
39:06
defensive standpoint there. If he keeps that position, it
39:09
would be a huge pick up. It's not guaranteed that he's
39:12
going to keep that position. It might just been a rest thing.
39:14
But like that's like a gamble that might be worth taking to
39:18
snagging him. And then if if Robertson is back
39:20
in the lineup next week, you can drop him no biggie.
39:23
But if not, it's like, hey, I know I have literally the
39:26
starting left back for Liverpool.
39:28
You know, I think it's. The same way what Tico does when
39:30
he leaves like a spot open his roster.
39:32
It's not a bad one to have just in case.
39:34
Just keep one open. And I don't think semicast is a
39:37
bad option, especially on a level team that's flying high.
39:40
I mean, especially. Because I think that Robinson is
39:42
going to go on this at the end of the year.
39:43
And so they might just be interested in just seeing what
39:45
Semakas can do there and if they really need to like invest or
39:48
what not they play if. Switched next.
39:50
So you could say that's a guaranteed clean sheet, yeah.
39:52
Yes. So yeah, I think that's double,
39:55
double interesting there. Next on the list is Rich
39:57
Charleston. Tottenham owned 27% of leagues.
40:00
Biggest thing here is the Salaki injury.
40:02
I think that's like the biggest point of this.
40:05
I also think that Charleston is an incredibly streaky player in
40:08
like so, so confident space. So the fact that he went and got
40:11
a goal right off the RIP after coming off after the injury like
40:14
that. Maybe bodes well for him having
40:16
a few more good games before like someone tries to like
40:20
extort his money or something and then he goes on another bad
40:23
streak or he gets really depressed or something happens.
40:25
So fuck me, you know? So, So yeah, I think, I think if
40:29
you can catch Richardson on the wave, it's it's a good, it's a
40:32
good wave to be on. I guess it's a good.
40:33
Shot I like that because he he's he's going to play now because
40:37
who else you going to stick up there besides maybe son?
40:40
Maybe because what, because one is injured too.
40:43
So is he is he going to play Mikey Moore on the left?
40:47
Because there's no one else besides Mikey Moore to play
40:49
Mikey. Injury and even if son I say
40:52
also like his. Injury.
40:52
How long is he going to be out for?
40:54
Knee injury. A few weeks is what and said,
40:57
yeah, but same knees, just the worst.
40:59
The other thing too is even if Sal does play up top, that could
41:01
mean that that's rich sauce and place on the left side and done
41:04
that before as well. Yeah.
41:05
So it's it's like even if Sal is that option up there, I think
41:09
there's still a place for him in the team.
41:10
Yeah. So I think I think that's a
41:11
pretty good run for hungry for a forward.
41:14
Next one on the list. Lindstrom from Everton has
41:19
doesn't have a history of good games.
41:21
He had obviously had a really game this last week against
41:24
Tottenham. But I think The thing is, is
41:26
that McNeil Gardner remain injured.
41:29
And so as long as Lindstrom's playing in Moyes has kind of
41:33
made that team is going to make that team much better in the
41:35
attacking field. And Lindstrom does a lot of the
41:37
things that McNeil Gardner do where he whips good balls and he
41:40
kind of like, you know, he's just like that type of player.
41:42
And so I think there's room for him to kind of fill that McNeil
41:45
void while McNeil is out, yeah. What?
41:49
What was that other? Was it gay?
41:52
Yeah, but he's more like a, he's more like a holding midfielder.
41:54
He's like a, like a engine room, like tackling midfielder.
41:58
I know you had to assist and you had a good game, but.
42:01
I'm not. I'm not like, hold my breath on
42:03
that one. I just don't.
42:04
I think that was more. I think that was more because
42:05
Tottenham was just so like lackadaisical that he was able
42:08
to just hustle and bustle around.
42:10
Yeah, it just. Yeah, got.
42:13
It next one is Minta from Brighton.
42:16
I think with him, he reminds me Savio and that when he starts,
42:19
you want you want to be starting him like his his start, his like
42:22
points per start is pretty high. But Brighton, the issue with
42:25
Brighton is it's just chaotic with their lineups.
42:27
You just don't know who's starting.
42:28
You don't know what's going on. But if you can get a run of
42:30
games, he could be a difference maker for the rest of the
42:32
season. You know, like, you know how
42:34
like Jon, Pedro and Welbeck are pretty locked in and like pretty
42:36
much everyone else in the attacking line isn't locked in.
42:38
And Matoma, yeah, you know, like those 3.
42:40
But like that still leaves like that leaves that right wing
42:44
position, which is so kind of up in the air.
42:46
So I think it could be, but it could be the one if he can get a
42:49
few starts. So if he doesn't get a few
42:51
starts to drop him, Yeah, another shot.
42:53
David Brooks that you guys we talked about earlier, I think
42:55
that's a really good one. Just from a point standpoint and
42:57
also just from riding the hot hand.
42:59
Bournemouth is doing so well. This guy's scoring points.
43:04
It's not a lot of skin off your back to pick him up and no,
43:06
throw him in if you need them. That's an easy one.
43:08
To drop tooth, all right. Let's talk about next week a
43:10
little bit. What round 23, guys?
43:16
Round 23? Any games screaming out to you
43:19
here was obviously over Forest man.
43:23
Yeah. That's fun actually.
43:24
That's really good. I could see Bournemouth winning
43:26
that game. I could see Bournemouth.
43:28
Winning that game, too, it's gonna be a good game, obviously.
43:31
City, Chelsea, because they're both, I mean, City's kind of
43:34
seems like they're back to being City early somewhat, and
43:37
Chelsea's had to win finally. That could be interesting.
43:40
You know, two weeks ago or three weeks ago you would have thought
43:42
that would have been an easy Chelsea win, right?
43:44
And now you're not. Now it's not so certain.
43:46
It'll be interesting to see how Everton plays against Brighton
43:49
after that performance. Like if they can, if they're
43:52
actually going to generate a lot of attack, a lot more attack, or
43:55
if it was more in fact they're playing Tottenham.
43:57
Like how much of it you know it was, you know, be.
43:59
A good a good gauge in there, but the Tottenham, Leicester
44:04
game, they lost one nil the the opposite fixture.
44:08
So we'll see how that goes. Yeah, interesting.
44:11
Full of United. I think the United's going to
44:13
lose. That's their buggy team man.
44:15
Full of that like. OK, Villa.
44:17
I like those two. Those two I've been on so far.
44:19
Don't like Spurs? We haven't.
44:24
Won. We haven't beat anybody and you
44:26
want us to beat Leicester full of Villa.
44:28
Spurs, Yeah, I think I like Spurs too, actually.
44:31
I mean how what are the odds are?
44:35
-2. 15 Yeah, this is not good for the risk.
44:38
Arsenal, Newcastle, I think, I think.
44:40
The risk goes. The risk is already higher with
44:43
a six game fucking parlay. -1000 and you know the.
44:46
Funny thing about the Tottenham losing streak, the last time
44:49
they beat an actual team and I'm like count of Southampton was
44:52
Manchester City when they started their demise and which
44:55
was, that's right back in November 23rd.
44:58
It's like they still vote. So this this.
45:01
This bet is +1096. Say that again, plus 1 + 1096.
45:07
10. 1960 are you still lit? +1096. 1096 that's 1096 thirty,
45:14
so it's like it's 10X so like you're gonna bet three you're
45:16
gonna bet like 30 to win like a little north of three hundred
45:19
328I I don't hate this. Let's let's go, let's go with
45:23
Sergei so that we can give him we we'll give a lot of shit if
45:25
it doesn't work. Yeah, cuz suppose.
45:27
It's a win win. Yeah, cuz suppose you hear
45:29
parlay like last week that he never mentioned.
45:32
Yeah, it's a win, win. So this is a win win for us, I
45:34
think. Guys, what do you think?
45:35
Yeah, yeah, that's cool. This is 30 bucks while spent, I
45:37
think. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 40.
45:38
Bucks Sergey, I'm going to say thank you, Sergey, but fuck you.
45:42
Yeah. So for.
45:43
Risky for you to win 438, man. This.
45:46
I'm doing this right now. It makes me realize how crazy it
45:48
was when we hit that parlour earlier in the season.
45:51
That was a nuts parlour we hit earlier in the season.
45:54
The thing that we thought we were going to do that like every
45:56
week after. Confidence, man.
45:59
I was sending emails to Josh King is like, hey, look at the
46:02
probably we hit. Do you want to sponsor us?
46:07
Oh, I love that. OK, this has been episode 74 of
46:11
Draft Offsides. My name is Keith, I'm with Tico
46:13
Enzo. Follow us on social medias at
46:16
Dropped Offsides fellows on YouTube.
46:18
There's been a lot of funny shorts.
46:20
I need to start posting those elsewhere.
46:21
We all need to start posting those elsewhere.
46:23
I guess on TikTok and stuff as well.
46:25
So we should just give Sergey all our login info and he just
46:27
post them everywhere? Does TikTok?
46:28
Exist in America or they banned it.
46:30
I'm not. Yeah, no, it's.
46:32
It was it was gone for like 6 hours this back and everyone
46:35
lost them on TikTok Pretty. Much just threw a hissy fan
46:37
question for you guys. What do you think what is still
46:39
is is Lester the most surprising thing?
46:41
I mean, not Lester is forest. It's not in forest.
46:44
This forest most surprising thing I.
46:47
I feel I feel like they are because don't get wrong, we
46:49
were, I was surprised at Liverpool.
46:51
I knew they were I I already did feel they were going to get top
46:54
five. Top 4 was still like for me a
46:56
little because of course of on his slot, but not in Forest
47:00
being in 2nd and in contention, not just the 2nd and and just
47:04
chilling. They're ain't they're winning.
47:06
They're winning games. They're right behind them.
47:08
If anyone's going to catch lowball, it's going to be known
47:10
in Forest. They're the only ones in it.
47:12
Yeah, pretty excited, yeah. Pretty fun time to be a Premier
47:15
League fan. It just feels like there's
47:17
finally a little bit of like a the log jam at the top is a
47:20
little bit looser and it feels like anyone can win any game.
47:22
Like there's not there's not as much of that obviously the
47:24
bottom 3 sack, but like once you get out of that bottom 3, just
47:26
never know what's going to happen.
47:27
It's still. Pretty, it's pretty wonky.
47:30
The league, if you look at like teams are in the bottom 10 and
47:33
the ones are in top ten, it's like been flipped.
47:35
Yeah, on a set. Totally.
47:36
It's fun. Yeah, it's fun.
47:39
OK. One last question for you, Enzo.
47:40
Is, is, is, is, is Prosikoglu going to have his job in a month
47:43
from now? No.
47:45
You just think he's. Fired 2/20.
47:46
He'll be out of there. No, brother, I.
47:48
Said this, I said this what end of last year?
47:50
Remember what I said? He's he's he's already in the
47:52
hot seat and it just takes because it was that clump of
47:55
games. It only takes one bad week.
47:57
And it. And it's him.
47:59
We haven't won. We're losing.
48:01
We're scoring goals, but we're not keeping goals out.
48:04
He can blame it on all the injuries all he wants, but even
48:07
before those injuries, we weren't winning every frigging
48:09
week or even winning that often. So I mean.
48:12
You've lost, you've lost 12 games this year.
48:14
Yeah, 12 out of 22. It's pretty bad.
48:16
The. Crazy thing is the goal
48:17
difference, you guys are tight for 7th.
48:19
You have a positive ten goal difference for a losing team.
48:21
That's kind of it's. Kind of crazy, no That that.
48:24
Is crazy, but if you look at the start of play, if if I put 10
48:28
men in the box and just whack it up there, you know what I mean?
48:31
You're going to score, Yeah. OK, Tico, question for you.
48:35
Are you regretting becoming a Man United fan And as the coach
48:38
said, the worst season, the worst team in the history of Man
48:41
United? Absolutely not.
48:42
This is when you want to jump on the bandwagon because you could
48:45
say I was there during the worst times.
48:47
So when when glory comes back to us, it will feel much better.
48:52
So you're you're like the definition of buying the bottom?
48:55
Exactly. Yes, from like an.
48:56
Investment standpoint, I love it.
48:59
OK, by low, by low, by low, Yeah, I'll go through.
49:03
This I see anything that stands out.
49:05
Let's do it all right?
