Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs West Ham

The final round of festive fixtures comes to its conclusion at Wembley Stadium as Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham play the second match of their double Gameweek 22.

Much to our collective relief, Harry Kane returns to the hosts’ starting line-up after producing just a single point from his 22 minutes off the bench at Swansea on Tuesday night.

It’s fair to say that the Fantasy Premier League hopes of many managers rely on the Spurs striker this evening.

Not only is he the top captain pick for the Gameweek (24.2%), a hefty 121,000+ Triple Captain chips have been wielded on Kane in light of back-to-back hat-tricks in his previous two starts.

The allure of a double Gameweek has also boosted in interest in Spurs midfield trio Son Heung-min, Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli. All three join Kane on the teamsheet and are also among the top 13 armband picks for Gameweek 22.

The top transfer target for Gameweek 22, with 498,000+ new owners, Son has scored in five of Tottenham’s last six at Wembley, totalling 57 points over those matches.

Eriksen and Alli, meanwhile, bagged an assist and goal respectively in Tuesday’s win at Swansea to continue their improved form.

The Dane has supplied points in six of his last seven outings, while Alli has two goals and four assists in his previous three.

At the back, Ben Davies earns successive starts for the first time since Gameweek 16 as Danny Rose misses out with a knee complaint again.

The big news for the Hammers is that Marko Arnautovic is sidelined with a minor hamstring problem.

Drafted in by over 368,000 for his pair of fixtures, he ends double Gameweek 22 on five points, having earned the assist for Andy Carroll’s late winner against West Brom.

Carroll’s two goals in the Baggies’ clash isn’t enough to keep his role in the XI, though – he drops to the bench as Chicharito leads the line instead.

The Mexican and Manuel Lanzini – who has supplied four assists in his previous five – carry the main threat to a defence that’s looking for their tenth clean sheet of the season.

    Brought in vertong for dgw. Want to replace with cheaper defender.
    Already have Alonso ota mee Jones.

    Ogbonna
    Zeeglaar
    Vvd
    Christensen
    Maitland niles
    Duffy

    Which one?

    1. Nat89
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      if rest of your defence is strong then ogbonna, good fixtures ahead and cheap

      1. Nat89
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        my mistake....just seen your defence and yeah go for ogbonna!

      2. Horsesign
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        I agree with this

    2. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      There are cheaper defenders.

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Mustafi... great fixtures

    Top 50 in live HoF averaged 57.9(-4.4) so a decent GW for most.

  3. shearer9

    How serious is Arnie’s injury?

    1. Nat89
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      tight hammy, not sure but maybe only miss cup game

  4. Duffy Dunk
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Would you change anything?

    Ryan
    Alonso Otamendi Jones
    Salah Sterling Son Arnautovic Lingard(C)
    Kane(VC) Firmino

    bench: Elliot Mustafi Cresswell Calvert

    0 FT, 0.3 itb

    1. Nat89
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      no looks strong

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Mustafi on the bench with that fixture... hard to look at... but tough choice... with Arnie flagged I might go with Mustafi instead

  5. Atwood
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Hey deadzoners
    1FT and 2.5 spare. Any thoughts? Few questionable players drifting in.

    Courtois
    Jones - Otamendi - Mee - Ogbonna
    Salah - Alli - Sterling - Richarlison
    Kane - Firmino

    Elliot - Dunk - DCL - RLC

    1. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Dcl->Quaner/Crouch?

      1. Atwood
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Neither really appeal but you're right he has to go. Wonder if I'll have enough for Tosun...

        1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Tosum is cheap (25M) by today’s standards... is he any good? if he was he would cost more I would think

  6. Rik Waller
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Best way to make 1.6m to fund Christensen > Alonso?

    Speroni Adrian
    Ota Christ Mee Masuaku Mbemba
    Salah Sterling Son Arnie Rich
    Kane Aguero DCL

    Probably looking at downgrading Son, Arnie or Rich.
    Cheers

    1. Nat89
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      son to lingard should be enough

      1. Rik Waller
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Yeh most likely option atm

    2. RESULT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Rich to cheaper midfielder

  7. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    get hazard or ozil or pogba? (have lingard already)

    1. Nat89
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      hazard as a differential and lokk at those fixtures!!!!

      1. Nightf0x
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        he was already on my team replaced him with alli for the dgw both returned 10 pts

    2. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard should be in the points over the coming weeks

  8. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Best move here lads?

    A) Son -> Pogba
    B) Lowton & Alli -> Alonso & Lingard (-4)
    C) Save FT

    Courtois
    Masuaku, Dunk, Ogbonna
    Salah, Sterling, Alli, Son
    Aguero, Kane, Wilson

    Elliot, RLC, Francis, Lowton
    Bank 0.0m, 1FT

    1. Nat89
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      i would say defo B as it allows you to bring in Alonso. lowton looks to have lost his place now

    2. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      B

  9. Nat89
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    seriously considering doiing these transfers.....
    Rangel and Kane out......Alonso and Morata in
    i know morata is missing chances constantly but he is still getting into good positions and its a matter of time i think till he starts too score again, where Kane has some pritty difficult fixtures on the horizon, apart from saints away. and if it means i can upgrade Rangel to Alonso is it not worth it?
    What do you think

    1. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Personally I think it's dangerous to go without Kane, especially when downgrading to a man off form. Give it a week or so

      1. Nat89
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        thanks

  10. Magic Bean
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    So conceding to the fact I'll be getting Salah back in for a hefty amount after selling for 9.6, I'll be downgrading Abraham (I know) to a 4.5ish to get a mil back into the bank.

    Quaner looking the only option right now? Or do we think Ayew for 5.0 is the better option?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Ayew, for sure. He's looked lively.

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Both shite mate - Quaner has 0 goals in 14 PL appearances this season, is not nailed, and is POO. Ayew is slightly better but still dregs.

    3. Nat89
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      if you can get ayew and salah then thats the option for me. looks like he has a few goals in him

    4. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Cheers, looks like I should be staying away from Quaner. Ayew might have to be the one

    5. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I’d get Quaner. He’ll always be third sub and never called on. Save the money.

    6. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Quaner and use the 0.5m elsewhere, you're not going to get much from either so might as well get the cheaper one

      1. Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        You say that, but Ayew has given me 2 goals and 2 assists in the 6 times he's had to come off the bench!

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          You've had 80% of his returns and he's a bench option, wow, incredible luck that. Tbf Quaner has 2 assists despite not being a regular starter. Caught just the one assist off my bench from him

          1. Pierce34
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Yep, Ayew off the bench has been among the luckiest parts of my season. I got him in GW 8 when I switched to 3-5-2.

            1. Pierce34
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              First two weeks I had him he came off the bench for Ramsey and Sterling respectively with an assist each time. Then more recently I got his goals when he came in for Jesus and Hazard.

  11. Ojpsan1
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Play 2

    A) Curtois
    B) Christensen
    C) Adrian
    D) Ogbonna

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      AB by far

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      AB or CB.

    3. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I'd play one from each team. AD

    4. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Why do you have Chelsea defenders if you're not going to play them every week?

  12. Foozeball
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Does anyone have any detailed analysis on Tosun?
    Never seen him play and have no idea how effective he could reasonably be expected to be in the PL. Would be wonderful to get him on WC if he can hit the ground running

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I'd never put someone playing in PL for the first time straight in - wait and see how he settles in.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        This

    2. There Can Be Only One
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      GIven he's playing for big sam, I would expect him to be a fairly decent header of a ball and be able to put himself about bit.

      In terms of stats and bear in mind these these are per 90 its 5 elbows, 17 fouls and 1 booking

  13. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    ddg (elliot)
    dunk vert christensen (ogbonna ota)
    salah lanzini alli sterling lingard
    kane depoitre (dcl)
    (itb 1.7)

    a) start ogbonna or depoitre?
    b) alli to hazard or ozil

    1. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Ogbonna cause he's nailed
      I prefer Hazard but he's much more expensive..

      1. Nat89
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        get haz because in a couple of weeks he will be up at around 10.9 again

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Ogbonna
      Keep Alli

    3. There Can Be Only One
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Ogbonna

      If you have to then go for Hazard but he's back to his inconsistent self so you're just trading IMO an inconsistent Alli for an inconsistent Hazard

  14. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Start one
    A) Pope
    B) Adrian

    Start two
    1) Dunk
    2) Mee
    3) Masuaku

    1. Ojpsan1
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Adrian

      Dunk and Mee

    2. Francescoli

      Pope Dunk and Mee

    4. La Gazzetta
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Pope
      Dunk
      Masuaku.
      I think that's spreading the risk of clean sheets but also most chance of save points and attacking returns. That's just how I play the game though.

    5. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Cheers all

    6. There Can Be Only One
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Pope, Dunk and Mee

    7. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Pope, Dunk , Masuaku

  15. Kloppen Schloppen
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Lose Son or Alli?

    1. Nat89
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      for me son is more of a goal threat, and plays upfront wide.

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Alli if you're set on losing one before the next couple of fixtures

    3. Kloppen Schloppen
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Holding for the next 2 just want to get an option. It’s going to be a tough call

    4. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Was Alli the best goal scoring m/f last season? probably
      Is Son going to be playing as many minutes as Alli? Doubtfully.

      Hate bot choices but Alli is a gimme!

      1. Kloppen Schloppen
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        How can you hate both choices but then have Alli as a gimme.

        Go to bed mate.

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

      Lose Alli, Keep Son

  16. Viper
    • 14 Years

    A. Son & Christensen - > Lingard & Alonso - 4

    B. Son & Mee - > Lingard & Alonso - 4

    C. Gross - > Lingard. Go without Alonso for now

    1. Nat89
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      use christensen for next GW, they may conceede anyway against the foxes. save the 4 points then alonso for mee and double up on chelsea defence

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        So do Son - > Lingard and Mee - > Alonso next week?

        1. Nat89
          • 7 Years

          yeah, chelsea fixtures look good for cleanies

      Yep

    2. Nat89
      • 7 Years

      if arnie is out then lingard in for him

      1. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Yep that was the move I was considering

        1. Nat89
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          cant see lingard going up more than 6.3 before you will get the team news.

    3. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah

  18. There Can Be Only One
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    So I brought Kane in for the DGW after 12 blissful weeks of not owning him and as always he screwed me, I had to sacrifice Hazard and KDB to get him in. Was planning on keeping him for a while but biven Jesus injury I want to triple back up on City. My initial thought is to get Aguero in but I can also go back to KDB with 1 hit. Thoughts?

    Best Combo please everyone?

    A) KDB, Vardy and Tarkowski (-4)

    B) Aguero, Lingard and Jones

    C) Kane, Doucoure and Jones (Current)

    Rest of the Team

    Pope (Elliot)
    JONES* - Alonso - Otamendi (Ogbonna - Mariappa)
    Salah - Coutinho - Son - Sterling - DOUCOURE*
    Firmino - KANE* (Depoitre)

    1. Nat89
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      i wiuld go aguero for Kane, then you can get KDB in for son/couts. think couts wont play again personally

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Not a fan of losing Kane but of the options you give B looks best. Maybe look at downgrading Coutinho to Lingard and upgrading Doucoure a gw after?

    3. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      coutinho is your most pressing issue

  19. Kloppen Schloppen
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone doing Kane Aguero double up?

    What’s the rest of our attack if so?

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I'm not but I'll guess it's gonna be Quenar in 95% of cases 😆

      1. Kloppen Schloppen
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Got a 0.1 price rise out of the lad

    2. Nat89
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      i have at the min, cheap forward in Quaner but atleast he gets minutes, midfield is salah, Lingard, Arnie, Hazard and choupo

      1. Kloppen Schloppen
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        That’s pretty good.

        I think I would look at Cout instead of Hazard and then use that cash to upgrade chupo or Arnie.

        1. Nat89
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          hazard will come good.......i hope

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          no point looking at cout unless youre playing la liga ff

    3. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I can if I want to, with a midfield of Salah, Eriksen, Sterling, Lingard and Arnautovic. Bench fodder is Ayew. I don't think I'll get both Kane and Aguero though, if anything looking at Kane to Aguero after next week.

      1. Kloppen Schloppen
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        That’s actually not a bad idea. Hadn’t thought of losing Kane, could be a worthwhile swap

        1. Nat89
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          kane has some tough fixtures on the horizon, but be warned i took him out for burnley away and saints at home and he punished me SOOOOOO bad! but got some Aguero points at home to bournemouth

          1. Pierce34
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            If no other fires present themselves in the meantime, plan is to get Aguero after Liverpool and to get Kane back in GW28 when the fixtures turn.

          i've not had Kane for weeks and as a result have some serious strength in the mids - i've been getting green arrows ever since

            • 10 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            I went from 66k to 11k from the 2 Kane hat tricks. Now 14k

      I've had it since GW 19 and has been going ok. Aguero has hit the post a few times so it definitely could have been better. Now that Jesus is injured I think I'll stick with it for a while and likely until Jesus is back. Other striker is DCL. Midfielders are Salah Sterling Son Arnautovic RLC

      Already gone there, best two strikers in the league in my opinion. Seems sensible considering there's lots of questions marks over other strikers at the moment. I've got a really cheap defense but my attack is currently looking like this:

      Salah, Son, Pogba, Alli, Lingard
      Kane, Aguero, DCL

      Thinking of doing DCL to Ayew and then one of Son or Alli out for Sterling probably. Providing your team value isn't too bad you could go a cheap third striker and get a very strong midfield 5.

      Never again. I've learnt my lesson.

      Need to spend big on defence to do well in this game.

    A) Hold Vertonghen
    B) Vertonghen to Alonso for free with exact cash ITB
    C) Save

    Thoughts?

      How is A different to C? B is tempting in any case.

        Cheers. Spurs next 2 are as good as it gets for defenders though too? Everton at home and Southampton away. Could make the move in 2 weeks by downgrading elsewhere if/when he rises. Thoughts?

    Would you bench Otamendi (liv) for Ogbonna (hud)?

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Yes. Heavyweight decision.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Never bench premium defenders

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

        There's a dead zoner if ever I saw one!

      2. Woy_is_back
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Of course you bench otamendi agaisnt Liverpool. They will concede and he's not going to get a goal every game.

        1. Root
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          ok

        2. Gnu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Wow, that merits an "of course" in your book?

          Otamendi has scored 21 points in the three games - Liv (home) ManU (away) & Chelsea (away) only scoring 1 goal in the process and picking up 2 yellows to diminish that score.
          Still think it's a certainty?

          1. Woy_is_back
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Liverpool got a player sent out after 20-30 minutes though.

            1. Gnu
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Ok, 16 points in the 2 away games, Chelsea & ManU.
              Fine, ain't going to try to convince who's 35k and disappointed with it, clearly a pro. 😉

              1. Gnu
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                6 years, 3 months ago

                and he may only score 1 point, who knows, it's the nature of the game but investment in the likes of Alonso & Otamendi means they play every week otherwise I wouldn't be spending that kind of dosh on a defender.

              2. Woy_is_back
                • 6 Years
                6 years, 3 months ago

                Liverpool are miles ahead United and Chelsea offensively though imo.

          What's the previous Pool City scorelines off top off your head and who played City defence last time? Obviously you've looked this up to make your decision

        4. Woy_is_back
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Go ahead and play him, 1 pointer coming up though. City's first loss of the season.

            Salah has not been ruled out or?

    4. noquarternt

      Madness. I'd play Otamendi every game regardless.

  24. AdamJ91
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Gomes - Elliot
    Otamendi - Jones - Mee - Dunk - Kenny
    Hazard - Salah - Sterling - Son - Lingard
    Kane - DCL - Depoitre

    1.4 ITB; 0 FT

    Anywhere worth a 4 point hit or leave it? I don't usually like taking hits (only -12 all season) but I'm slightly"meh" on my team ATM, especially attack but think I'd rather upgrade defenders than attackers atm.

  25. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years

    Bench Ota (liv) in order to start JAyew (Newcastle)?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Other 3/4 defenders?

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Azpi Jones Mee Gomez. Definitely benching Gomez (probably downgrading soon) and was considering a start just for the other 3

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Tough one. Dangerous benching the highest owned defender.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      No. Liverpool scored 1 this fixture last season against worse defence and maybe no Cout or Salah?

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      If I had to bet Leicester more likely to score against Chelsea than Pool against City but you being neither

      1. Kiwivillan

        *being=bench

      2. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        from that half an hour in the reverse fixture Liverpool i would say they were extremely unlucky to not score and only a fifthy fifthy situation changed the whole game. With that City defense i would be very surprised if Liverpool won´t score, with or without Coutinho. But Ota is a threat on set pieces so he could score. I´m benching, but it´s my gut that says it.

    4. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      no chance in hell Otamendi will get a cs vs Liverpool but Ayew scoring vs Newcastle... i think i´d gambled on Ayew. Ota could score i guess so difficult.

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Otamendi

      1. Woy_is_back
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        33.5% ownership. How ia that a differential?

    4. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Lingard has got me 23pts last 3 weeks. Everyone is getting so you should have him if he keeps up or OR drops

      1. Woy_is_back
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Lingard wont keep this up. Below average player with a few good games.

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          He has more points in the last 9 weeks than KDB and Kane. He has 4 less points than Hazard and Richarlison combined.

    5. Rik Waller

      1. Woy_is_back

      1. Woy_is_back

        Sané-> Pogba?

    7. Rik Waller

      Mahrez, Kun, Siggy?

    8. noquarternt
      • 8 Years

      Mahrez looking quality. Arsenal have some sick fixtures, Bellerin or Özil?

      1. Rik Waller
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Ozil is a good one

  27. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Try and get hazard/ Aguero now (would have to be rid of kane/salah/ddg)
    or wait til they’re proven more

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard needed to dive to improve on 17pts from previous 6 game weeks

    2. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Never Hazard again. No consistensy and lacks hunger for goals.

  28. We Will Klopp you
