Southampton Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[yusrisafri]

He never gets the ball!

Taking him out my fantasy team after this game. Pointless having him because he never gets passed to in the area!

Not true at all. He always gets the ball, but uses it poorly. His movement has been poor as well!

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Dominated since 20 minutes onwards but what the fuck was the first 20 after 10 days preperation, shambolic.

Fingers crossed it carries on in the same vein after the break but fear Puel will change things up.

 

[yankspurs]

I wouldnt be opposed to taking Wanyama off for Winks and going with Dembele at DM this half. Maybe take Dembele off too for Wimmer and shift Dier up to DM if you want. Dembele hasnt been awful, but he's been ineffective. Wanyama has been awful, however.

 

[bubble07]

We lack incisive passes in the final 3rd. Eriksen is really the only one who can and when he doesn't we are toothless

 

[dondo]

Winks for Dembele
Son for Sissoko
Janssen for Kane

All at ht? What if we have an injury after 50mins and have to play most of the 2nd half with 10 men

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Kane shit once again, Rose worst game in a while.

Positive once again from SIssoko,Dembele and Eriksen.

 

[Hazardousman]

It seems to me Sissoko has been alright?

Why do people want him off?

Only player I would be taking off is Wanyama for Winks.

Booking for Dembele means he may be chopped

 

[BuryMeInEngland]

Is it?

Yes.

In fairness, the goal and Wanyamas chance were created by Sissoko.

 

[DIEHARD]

Fuck it I don't know how to put imagesn

 

[Sweetsman]

Prefer Son.

Sissoko isn't playing in the same position and lays the ball off better than Son.

Nothing new there.

 

[Spurger King]

...except for the fact that he was born between 6 and 4 BC.

That's just a myth started by Satanists.

 

[thinktank]

Lloris
Walker Dier Verts Rose
Wanyama Sissoko
Eriksen Winks Alli
Kane
​

Let winks drop deep and work the ball through the field. Give him a free role through the middle of the park. Let Sissoko drive through and make them wet their pants.

In any case - get Winks on!

[holsten777]

Prefer Son.

Very hit and miss at the moment, could see him doing damage as sub later

 

[yankspurs]

Watching Dembele, Sissoko and Wanyama try to play creative football in the middle of the park is depressing.

Eriksen pretty much carries the whole responsibility of taking the ball off all of them (and the back 4). He's popped up everywhere.

Please take Mousa off for his own sake. He's forgotten to take his wellies off again. Winks please Poch.

Would seriously consider hooking Kane if Vince is fit.

We've had most control of the game but rarely looked like scoring apart from Sissoko cleverly playing the cross off the full back for the goal..

If we just crank it up 10% we should win this.

You talk about a lack of creativity with so much strength on the pitch so you want to bring in someone who literally does nothing except hold the ball up for 20 minutes at which point he's gasping for air?

We are genuinely awful to watch this season, there is absolutely no cutting edge or impetus. I would hazard a guess that we take less shots now than under AVB. Wanyama just shouldn't be a first choice midfielder for us and to play with a 3 of Eriksen, Alli and Sisokko is very negative. Surely the management can see this, surely!

 

[Hazardousman]

I don't know how people can say Kane is playing shit when he never gets fed the ball, do people expect him to just magically get the ball from midfield and run through every player like Messi?

Last season he got service and when he did, he finished for us, this season, he gets fuck all, there is a reason for that, the players behind him and the lack of creativity due to our negative approach to games.

Last season we were ruthless, this season we are toothless, it's that simple.

 

[glacierSpurs]

Our habit of maintaining possession at the middle of the park has somehow blunt our incisiveness at the final third.. We are always often seeking solace, passing the ball back to the middle and hesitant in quicker balls forward..
