Southampton vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[TEESSIDE1]

Alli and Son are anonymous without some creativity behind them. We shouldn’t have to wait for mid 2nd half before we bring Lamela on and play to our strengths

 

[TheChosenOne]

Ward prowse should be off

Not even a yellow. Ffs

 

[Rout-Ledge]

I’m getting to the point now where I have no confidence in Alli when he’s on the ball with options.

 

[idontgetit]

Alli's been shocking as well

 

[Gbspurs]

What was Dele waiting for there?!

I feel sometimes he thinks if he draws the players into him he will be able to create space for a killer pass. A lot of his assists come this way. Problem is when it doesn't come off he looks like a bumbling twat.

 

[heelspurs]

Really poor by Alli. Needs to sort that part of his game out sometimes.

..."sometimes" he says charitably.

 

[felmani26]

We got away with that big style

 

[spursfan77]

Tyler gutted that didn't go in

 

[dickieven]

They should have scored then

 

[paulcumpstone]

Only one southampton player attacks it and still beats every dozy spurs player to it

 

[Good Doctor M]

Well everyone already unpacked the pitchforks and old timey touches when the team was announced.

They can't be arsed to put them down now. Death to sissoko!

Mate, he’s dogshit in a team like this and he’s had more chances than most

 

[thinktank]

Apparently, @thinktank told me it's better when he whacks it at the first defender because we get corners and shit.

Once you have an attitude towards a player, it never changes, whatever they do.

You're a very weird guy.

Tons of space out there. How about attacking down the left instead of the right? It's like they forget that Son excells at banging in 30 yarders with space and time.

 

[StevePil]

got away with one there, he should have scored

 

[Chimbo!]

This has been sloppy so far. Giving the ball away too easily. Making too many errors, especially in midfield.

 

[paulcumpstone]

Every time dembele goes near the ball ref blows

 

[Danners9]

Ref's made a mess of this!

 

[felmani26]

This ref is being hugely lenient on Dembele - needs to get his focus or his head's going to go

 

[The Apprentice]

We have been so poor in possession. Appreciate conditions are tough, but we’re not doing the basics. Play the easy ball, retain possession, control the game.

Hard to do with a CM 3 of Dier, Dembele and Sissoko, granted.

 

[thinktank]

Ward Prowse again...delicious.

I could watch reels of his dead-balls all day....
