Pierluigi Gollini was warmly welcomed in many quarters of the fanbase. It was something I never understood. The Italian failed the first time around in the Premier League, for Aston Villa. Even before Tottenham’s season kicked off, he was conceding goals.
Gollini continued to ship in goals in the first team opportunities he was gifted during his loan at Spurs which ran from 24 July 2021 to 2 June 2022. What in the name of all that’s unholy were our scouts ever thinking of?
A great bloke by all accounts and very popular in the dressing room … but unfortunately a crap goalkeeper! … as this clip illustrates!
I had to google ‘Bissouma spurs shirt’ after one of your daily briefs.. I thought there’s nothing wrong or weird about that. I often wear t shirts to bed.
I soon discovered he wore the same dirty shirt that he was playing with. This is very strange. I assumed he was showered and had washed the shirt.
I’m English and I can do it well.. Gazza was the best for us in my time. He did it well..
South Americans tend to be the best for it at the top. I’ve always admired the Argies more than the Brazilians for this. Not Ardilles and Villa who were before my time, unfortunately… Maradona and Messi were the cream for me.
Thanks mate!
Done!
Come on Harry, post the Tanguy goal for me!
I think the lad just isn’t very bright
Que surprise… another hopeless punt … it’s time we got proper cover/replacements in and not hopeless punts
Probably a way of saying he never asked for him. A fourth or fifth choice signing as per usual
A better highlight to show would be Tanguy’s screamer against Rangers 🙂
Good Golly Gollini sure likes to ball…
Am I reading too much into this or is Conte’s dig at Bissouma not possessing the “tactical aspect” to play in the team now a subtle dig at Potter?
Only Brazilians can do that stuff well Steve.
Lol.. Gollini trying to do the Richy.. Massive fail.
Being a CM I much prefer to play out from the back, presuming the keeper and defenders are competent enough to simply play the ball to my feet.. I’m guaranteed to get the ball.. If goalies and defenders are hoofing it over my head, or I have to challenge others in the air, it just makes my job more difficult and I’m certainly not guaranteed the ball..
Teams that hoof it long every time are pretty much making the ball a 50/50, there to be won. Teams that consistently hoof long deserve all they get.
You not Keith………….
A great character always encouraging his team mates but I got that sinking feeling when he played like I did with Vorm.
As Keith said – he had already failed twice before what was Paratici thinking?
Teams that ‘play it out from the back’ deserve all they get.
