OK, but they score so many that that doesn't seem to be an issue for them -
94 LFC
99 MCFC
76 The Filth
69 THFC

OK, so our goals per game got better once Nono had gone, and got better again with the window and Kulu. But we're playing catch up here. At the mo the only benefit of getting free kicks in dangerous places is that the oppo might pick up a red.

Don't suppose Perisic takes them? Lefties tend to be more effective imo.
He's not a leftie - but right-footed. However, like Son, he's very good with his left foot.
 
There was some talk that he might not be announced in June because his contract doesn’t expire until the 30th.

Twitter talk though, so take it with a mountain of salt
Transfermarkt also says his Soton contract expires on June 30th 2022

 
As you may remember, he's from Benalmádena where my in-laws have an apartment.

I ran into him last summer, we had a couple of mojitos at a beach bar. Seemed a nice bloke but things went quickly south when talk turned to Tottenham.

Turns out he's a vile anti-Semite and sleeps under a Charlie George duvet cover.

Pass.
Fuck me that must be one moth eaten stained old duvet cover


Yes I appreciate it won’t be from 1971, before people think I’m an idiot
 
So at present we'll probably line up like this.

Lloris
Romero Dier Davies
Doherty Hojbjerg Bentancur Persicic
Kulusevski Kane Son


Where is the most pressing area to improve now? Hojbjerg? Davies? Dier even?

When is Skipp due to be back? Are we to assume that he'll come straight in for Hojbjerg?

Obviously we need a few more as the 5 subs come in next season - but it's not looking bad.

Bench includes

Forster
Sessegnon
Royale
Lucas
Bergwijn

Davies (although he will be a very useful squad player)
Doherty (although of course we could end up with Doherty/Spence or Traore/Doherty...)
PEH (Not going like for like here - we need more creativity - Eriksen?)
 
Not sure what the difference is with Perisic who is contracted to inter til 30th June!!
Isn’t it to do with him being based in England? We could have technically approached, signed and announced Perisic in January but wouldn’t have been allowed to speak to Forster.
 
100% this. People really got carried away with his tiny sample of not being utterly crap.
Its amazing how a crap player can turn out to be quite good when:

he's played in his proper position
he's played in a formation that suits him
he's got a really good manager
he's fit

The majority of our PL games are against teams where we'll do the majority of the attacking. Teams outside the top say 7-8. In those games he gives the oppo so much grief and we started scoring insane amounts of goals.

By all means let's get an upgrade for the matches where we will be doing a lot of defending. Top 4-6. And the better teams in the CL.
