Player Watch: Ivan Perisic

[Chris Flynn]

Perisic, Holjbjerg, Davies are a little band of experienced old hands he puts on to see out the game. Much better game management than just sitting back trying to defend your lead.

yoy can always rely on Davies to get you a goal to put the result beyond doubt

Yep playing the in-off Martinez was the last thing anyone expected.

Perisic was also motm imo when we played utd in May last year. He’s not spectacular beats six players but like Beckham he puts the ball in the right places

 

[spurs mental]

The fittest 34 year old I've ever seen. So much energy when he comes onto the pitch, his two footedness is such a great weapon, and he's got the experience to help us see out games like yesterday too

 

[DannyNZ]

Just gets the Ange role so easily, watching Kulu and Son struggling to get to grips with the role it is refreshing to see Perisic come on and slot in so easily.

 

[SlotBadger]

He needs better boots. I think he lost his footing 5-6 times in the first 10 minutes he was on the pitch.

I know just the pair…

 

[Whazam]

I don't disagree with this, but I'd also say Peresic's responsibilities are slightly different when he comes on, than Son's.

This clip goes on for a while, but Perisic never misses...

Misses on the 22nd attempt but what a save that was

Great clip for Bournemouth to think he is training on his right all day

The player is a bit blurry - but is that Sonny playing on the right in this drill?

I tried zooming in to those players, I don't think Son is in any one of them.

I think it could be Sonny - here is a clip from what looks like the same session - and Sonny is playing on the right. Could be interesting to see if this happens in a game.

 

[CanadaSpurs]

Would be very interesting to see the system with someone who could cross with their right foot on the right…

You are right. On a second look, it seems like that's him just beside the blue standee. Because I supposed he's fairer and slimmer, but there was a moment his posture was quite unmistakable it's him

He’s a weapon from the bench now he’s playing in a role that doesn’t require him to defend much .

Like ange said an experienced head coming in to calm things down. Also loads of quality going forwards.

For an experienced head he was lucky not get sent off for petulance, but yes as an off the bench option he can do some real damage

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

He’s now playing for a coach who knows how to maximise his strengths and mitigate his weaknesses. We should have had one of those a couple of years ago, but apparently only a world class Manager would have been able to persuade Danny to spend properly.

 

[coy-spurs1882]

the pass to Udogie which led to the 2nd goal was sublime
