This Real Salt Lake/LAFC match is bonkers

I was there and it was miserable. We left just before the half. If they would have started on time it probably would have been finished before the snow really got bad. Match was supposed to start at noon and the rumor is LAFC didn’t get to the stadium until 11:45 because they didn’t think they would be playing in the weather. There was a 30 minute lightning delay like 3.5 minutes into the match

Now that we can pretty much rule out Villa and below I think I maybe probably just about would prefer Arsenal to win the league.

That makes me feel nauseous, their London fans and that fans tv dickhead are the worst humans but then they also aren’t Liverpool or city and boojy is sound.

Do you think Spurs can catch Villa for 4th?

Possible. Spurs are a good team. Both teams in a run in are an unknown and untested quantity. Either could potentially fall off. Personally my money is on Villa, I think their football is more robust. Probably not a popular opinion given all the Ange love but I actually prefer watching the way they play too.

As good as they are at home maybe them having to step on to you might give your pacy players opportunities in behind.

Watkins and Bailey are such threats right now on the other side, both are in electric form.

I feel like it’s a draw or loss. However, I’m happy that Son is back playing striker because we were unbeatable with him there as opposed to Son LW and Richy ST. Richy has done a great job in Son’s absence but Son is the best ST for Ange’s system. So maybe Spurs can get a result.

I also think Son probably doesn’t have the legs to be up and down the left all game anymore. There have been times where he has looked really leggy there the last two seasons. Up front he can pick and time the short sprints rather than having to do it over longer distances more often.

His weakness up there is those few games where you play teams who will dominate the ball because you aren’t at their level yet. He’s not going to be all that brilliant at holding it up.

He’s still quick but his age is probably getting to him. Also he was injured for most of last season and Conte ran him ragged. I blame Conte for how poor he was last season.
