Match Ratings vs Norwich (H)

[JimmyG2]

Very good...........8+ ........Skipp..Moura (take your pick for MOM)
Good .....................7+..........Davies, Dier, Son. Sess
Not bad................6+..........Lloris, Sanchez, Hojbjerg, Doherty
Struggling ..........5+..........Kane, Tanganga.

Not a great performance, we could have been a goal down in 2 minutes.
But Conte has made the team more than the sum of its parts. which is what top managers do.

Conte 9.........Reaching the parts that other Managers couldn't reach.

I thought Lucas was brilliant until he scored and then after that he was a little muted. Still the best of the front three though.

Skipp was my MOTM followed closely by Davies. Kane, Tanganga were both very poor. Everyone else was a ‘par’.

 

[barry]

I've gone with Sess. Impressed me today, and I was one who had given up on him.

 

[PCozzie]

Skipp was excellent, no doubt, and was arguably the MOM. I gave it to Lucas though, because we want to be about winning games and as good as Skipp was it was Lucas that was the driving factor. He just made things happen and that goal was a real beauty. If he can replicate that performance most weeks then we are going to be so much more dangerous.

Fair play if Skipp gets it though, he was very deserving too.

 

[ShelfWatcher]

Went for Skipp but big shouts for Son and Davies too
Son's set pieces are now a real threat

 

[PLTuck]

Skipp yet again.

Lucas and Davies were both excellent too.

 

[whitesocks]

Went for sanchez to piss off his haters.
fantastic goal by moura - I didn't know he could hit it that hard.

Norwich are going straight back down, but we have struggled with teams like this, so good result.

 

[Pebble Dash]

Skipp hands down, he was everywhere. For someone so young he is incredibly cool under pressure, he’s so instinctive at both identifying and nullifying danger. To add to his defensive nous he always has very good passing ability too. You would think he was the inexperienced one out of him and Hojbjerg but lately he’s been by far the better of the two.

 

[VegasII]

Lucas’s goal is definitely a contender for goal of the month. The little bit of work he did getting past players before finding space to shoot…excellent stuff.

 

[h2005]

I thought the switch to bring Doherty on shifted the momentum for us. Taganga was getting taken to the cleaners. Doherty came on and was involved in both goals.

That’s what is frustrating about Moura, he can score goals like that and has also done so previously but 7/10 he falls flat on his arse or surrenders possession. In saying that I would much rather have say Moura who can be incredibly frustrating but still works his arse off and produces moments of brilliance over the likes of Bergwijn who gets into great positions only to fluff his lines 99/100.

Yes we improved and yes he was involved but fortuitously for Son’s goal… his cross was more like a sweeping clearance that fortunately landed at a Spurs players feet lol

 

[theShiznit]

Yeah Skipp again for me.
Clearly gaining in confidence and physically as he starts to feel like he belongs in the team, had a great driving run where he showed quite good pace too. (shame about the shot )

 

[sparx100]

Skipp was everywhere. Really like him and he seems to improve game by game.

Special mention to the 3 centre backs who I thought played very well and covered each other very well.

 

[ravo]

8 - Skipp, Lucas
7 - Sessegnon, Hojbjerg, Son, Sánchez, Davies
6 - Dier, Lloris, Reguilon, Doherty, Kane
5 - Tanganga

Agree with these ratings. Skipp was everywhere again and is even starting to make driving runs from deep.

Tanganga may well be better suited to the RCB role than RWB. Doherty should def. start the next ECL match.

Kane still taking forever to get going. Still pretty ordinary by his standards. Desperately need another striker in Jan.

Also Nice to see Sess building his confidence. Credit to Davies as well, who is really suited to that LCB role. His runs from deep often result in a chance.

Still need a replacement for Sanchez - who, even though he has been solid lately, is still only a heartbeat away from gifting the other side a goal.

 

[mendesstormer]

How can people not vote for Lucas after that? Probably his best ever performance in a Spurs shirt (CL semi-final notwithstanding). This is what he always threatens to do but never quite manages. On top of everything, in the first half he had 100% pass completion.

(And yes Skipp was excellent, obviously.)

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Still pretty ordinary by his standards.

Ordinary for his standards?

He is pretty piss-poor by any standards. 1 goal so far this season?

 

[DenverSpur]

Gave it Skipp who continues to embarrass more senior players with his work rate and endeavor. Absolutely outstanding consistent performance from one so young in his first full season in the PL.
Special mention for Davies who was superb.
Also Sess was very good when he came on and if he’s given game time I’m sure he’s going to contribute assists and goals down the line.
