Wish I could laugh but our defence is just as horrific. At least we have David :drool:

All three are league winners with significant European pedigree. Under the right manager, with the right system, I think they are.

The ceiling for that trio is very, very high.
Lacazette is not that good .. nowhere near the best strikers in the league. Aubameyang is good but limited, and Ozil hasn't been in the right 'system' for yonks.

Aubameyang maybe, although he has limitations. Ozil yes, if bothered. Lacazette? Nah.

They are not as good as Salah, Mane and Firminio.
At their best, Lacazette was scoring 28 in 30, Aubamayang was scoring 31 in 32 and Ozil was the creative heartbeat of a CL-winning Real Madrid. They're all top quality players in their physical prime.

I don't think Emery can get them playing to the same standard as the Liverpool forwards. But the potential is there.

Did well to get the power he did on that header.

Neil Warnock and Unai Emery might not agree but this is a terrific advert for the Premier League. Two committed, attacking, teams really going for it now. Is Jose Mourinho watching?

Ozil was not on Real for any of their CL winning squads.

I don't think Klopp could get them playing to the same standards as the Liverpool players either. Nor could Guardiola. Even in a parallel universe Ozil is sulking.

Fecking greedy from the Cardiff forward there - could've been a third if he'd played the right pass.
Think it's more a case of it being hard to spot for most players in a situation like that. He did well to create space for the shot to begin with.

You are ripe for it.
Yeah, and they know a shit boring United is terrible for the premier league. A bad United will cost the premier league a lot in the long run. I know a lot of casual premier league viewers who have completely given up on the premier league as a result.

My bad. World Cuup winning, then. He also got 19 assists in 35 matches in 2015/6.

For all his psychological weaknesses, he can still do things that only a handful of other people are capable of.

Unusual for Spurs not to start with Dier … unless he's picked up a slight knock and is deemed not fit enough for the full 90.

We're playing 3 at the back, plus 2 wingbacks, so I can only assume that Eriksen or Alli will drop deeper to join Dembele in the CM.
