Spurs v Stoke City match thread

[rossdapep]

Our goal difference took a boost today. Same as it was last season before we blasted our way through Xmas. Do the same again and we should be well in the mix.

We're also 7 points behind United. We were 7 behind Chelsea last season too. We won't be catching city so we need to target United.

Was this Son's best ever game in Spurs? Felt like a threat every time he had the ball.

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Do we expect him to be England's No 1 these days?

He can't be far off it. Put a good defence infront of him and noone will see an easy goal. Probably should stay at Stoke for more first team football and experience but not hang about too long.

I don't think he will be first choice at the World Cup, but he should be in my opinion.

5 second half goals and 6 subs...Two minutes added on.

Fuck off, ref.

People will laugh as they tend to side with the ref to "put sides out of their misery" but when goal difference could be the difference between winning the league etc then they need to have a uniformed approach to added on time.

Liverpool could do with a keeper.

Great birthday treat for me .., Beer and a bj later.

Way better than 9/12/1972 when we lost 1-2 to Woolwich as I looked down from The Shelf that day.

Wanyama to come back, Toby to come back and with Lamela in the side looking sharp and fresh he will be like a new signing, don't even think Kane, Eriksen or Dele have been anywhere near their best yet, if they hit form we could be comfortably in the top four after christmas ready for the CL knockouts with no real pressure in the PL.

 

[ardiles]

Hope this is the start of our December upswing in results.

ssshhhhhh.

Aaaaaaand suddenly on Spurs Community, things are all rosy again

 

[Streetspur77]

Does that mean the crisis is over or are we still gonna liquidate?

Happy Birthday Mate. I bet you couldn't have asked for a better result (well maybe a clean sheet would have been marginally better).

Why is stoppage time still a thing. Just stop the game clock, completely kills time wastingcheating too

TBH my weekend is ruined, what the fuck am I going to complain about for the next 36 hours?

So good to see Erik hit the ground running, really offers us something different.

Not really needed today but his pass/move game and ability to spot passes quickly will be invaluable in the coming weeks.

Great performance from Eriksen, Son, and Winks, and we beat our hoodoo of only scoring 4 against Stoke
