Other than Kane, Eriksen, Son, Dele, Dier, Lamela, Vertonghen, Alderweireld - who?!


How many have those players scored from outside the box then in say, the last 2 seasons? I bet it's not many. Eriksen hasn't scored from a free kick in over 18 months (I think). In fact, I'm struggling to remember the last goal we scored from 20 yds+.

Vertonghen scored a rocket from about 30-35 yards 10 days ago. Son against West Ham? You've just got a dogshit memory, fella.

Dogshit memory for sure! Wasn't Vertonghen's shot helped by a huge deflection though, or has my brain failed again? It still leaves Eriksen, Dier, Lamela, Dele and Alderweireld unaccounted for from your list.;)

Eriksen against city this season and Dele against Southampton this season. Dier and lamela haven't scored this season but dier last scored from outside the area in 2015. Aurier also scored from outside the area this season (not that he meant it)

We are consistently in the top 4 teams for scoring outside the area

Two years gone Oct since Eriksen scored a free kick for us. Scored some for Denmark though.

Looking forward watching the game tonight and see how he perform. Maddison up against a tougher opponent should give some indicators

Based on what, Nostradamus?

I was right about the two N somethings being shit

Maddison? He's is very very good

Sign him up asap

It's a good point, I say we all pack up and go home lads. Fuck this shit.

:rolleyes:

Genuinely wonder why you say this. He's got the ability and the key factors to add will be a bit of luck and the right attitude. By all accounts he appears to be a grounded and ambitious kid.

If this is not a good purchase at about £20 mill then what is? There are very average older players going for far more cash than that.

Guys guys guys football is a funny game. Its not all about ticking boxes. Players come from nowhere, look amazing and seem to have it all but sometimes they just dont survive.
He wont get enough game time here to swim and he will sink into mediocrity and although he would still be better than say sissoko he wont be worth the squad place. Save the money and get pulisic.

People get waaay too carried away and build players up so much based on very small samples.
