Southampton vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[TEESSIDE1]

Superb defending from Verts after he looked 2nd best there

Nah that’s not us anymore. Plus it was probably worse at Swansea and we did ok there. 90’s Spurs would’ve given up 10 minutes in.

Whenever anyone mentions 90's spurs it automatically makes me happy about my life and that I'll never have to witness that period again.

Considering I was born in 1990, it's a miracle I stuck with Spurs at that age.

Why is son not getting as much hate as sissoko?

Agenda.

It’s tough to spot irony and sarcasm online sometimes but I assume you’re not serious. He may not have been involved as much but do you honestly think he’d have been as wasteful as Sissoko?

 

[nedley]

Some talk around that the virus might have been squad wide and its only that Hugo and CE were the worst affected so couldn't play. Wouldn't be surprised if most of the team are under the weather, which would be a massive drain on energy and concentration

If that's true then I would expect 3 early substitutions.

 

[Wsussexspur]

How Alli and Dier seems to be undroppable is impossible to understand.

In particular Dier he is meant to be a DM but isn’t playing like one!

 

[paulcumpstone]

Do you ever post anything positive. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an upbeat post from you. When we’re destroying teams, you’re absent!

Thats not true at all.i was online during the everton game and posted how superb we were in that game especially son

 

[tobi]

Need more early shots.

 

[Bobbins]

Alli back to his dilly-dallying worst

When he plays like this he looks totally out of his depth - like a League One superstar who’s made the step up only to find he simply hasn’t got the reaction time or instinct to play at the top level.

Weak, slow, takes too long and too many touches, bad decisions every time.

Which is all outrageous considering how skilful and talented he’s proven himself to be.

 

[yankspurs]

Dier.....

 

[hughy]

Lovely ball by Dier to put JWP in.

 

[The Apprentice]

Dier again.

 

[Shadydan]

So never play him again? In case he gets injured again? He’s been back to match fitness for over two months.

He was out for a year, if you think he's match fit then you don't know anything about football.

 

[dagraham]

Haven’t improved. Passing is awful.

 

[felmani26]

More of that calamitous play from Dier and Aurier and we'll be punished soon enough

 

[Phil-spur99]

Not started any better

 

[thinktank]

That showed Serge is quickly becoming more disciplined...he wanted to hack away at the player there but just waited knowing he wasn't going anywhere and won the ball.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Fair enough. Does seem to take you an inordinate amount of time to come round, though.

Tripps' delivery has been shit for ages now and hasn't been getting half as much out of his crossing as Aurier is.

I'm looking out for the positives and giving Serge his first season to improve where he needs to.

His early crossing has paid/is paying dividends.

I've been crying out for that for ages. Not sniffing at it. I appreciate him for it.

Trippier's delivery is much better than Aurier's. He has 4 assists this season already, only Walker has more (5) and he's played about twice as much football. Trippier also makes three times the key passes (2.1) Walker and Aurier does per game (0.7 each).

You shouldn't let your bias confirm your opinion.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

We’re a little bit shit today.

 

[Wsussexspur]

Sons having one today

 

[Cravenspurs]

Dier brain fart...good for one a game.

 

[nedley]

Dier.

Christ.
