Spurs v Stoke City match thread

[WexfordTownSpur]

Just caught the delayed full match.

Son, Lamela and Eriksen needs to be our AM3 at the moment. Period.

3 creators of each different strengths but all possibly suit of scoring.

And I thought Lamela and Eriksen are like our KDB and Silva. Keep them well-oiled, I fucking don't believe we can't chalk up our goals...

I agree, we should start with them in the week. Although I thought Davis played well today, I think Rose desperately needs games. He has lost the confidence to take people on, and we really need that dimension. I feel the only people who do it are song and Kane, never to scared to try. And it’s strange but Dembele does it all match long but as soon as he gets within 30 yards of goal he reverts to short passes or a weak shot, take them on, bully them like you can and do in midfield mate!

Is Sean Davis playing for us again

Agree with many posts above - Son was man of the match today and should be starting most games while he's on this form. Great to now have Lamela back so we can rotate in the two/three attacking midfielder positions, and have genuine game changers on the bench. Pochettino hardly rested Alli and Eriksen at all last season - would be good to rest one of them occasionally and brilliant to have them on the bench as game changers.

Someone was due a spanking. We are going too good a team to keep on playing so poorly. Yesterday could have been 7 or 8. We didn’t look that confident first half but second half we were like we have played for the last 2 years. Hopefully the result will now propel us to have a good run of results.

Dare I think we have our Tottenham back ?

Careful now., Sit down and count to ten......

ARSEnal will win 2-0
Liverpool will win by 3 or more
Manchester could end in a draw but I fancy utd to scrape it. So I guess I see tomorrow a little differently. We will see, I hope your spot on.

I will make an educated guess and say you have never won the lottery!

Apparently the Stoke team got on the same train home as the supporters and NOT segregated!
They were told exactly what the fans thought oy the performance.

I thought they were happy for their players to live in London, so it was probably just a table of 4 they had!

Remember when some on here were convinced he was a better defender than Jan?
That was funny.

Yes, it was an excellent game from Spurs' and yes teams do make mistakes but 2 things I do like to point out though.
1) Son. Yes, he had a really good game and although no games are easy in the EPL it was against the poorest defense in the EPL. However, I think it was still 0-0 when Son went on a excellent solo run.... but instead of passing to 2 better placed team-mates he decided to shoot from a not so good position.
2) Kane went for a shot in a crowded penatly box when he easily could have passed to a much better placed Lamela. And Lamela did express his frustrations.
I know, some will find this nitypicking after such a good win and Spurs were crusing. And yes sometimes players are not always aware of better placed team meates. But it's not always Spurs are cruising and we have seen time and again how Spurs struggle when they are 0-1 down and the other team parks the bus.
Being unselfish at the right time breeds team spirit and encourage others to also always look for a better placed team mate. Some may say it doesn't matter since Spurs won 5-1 but it was 0-0 when Son missed the "chance" to pass to 2 better placed players and it is also in "small" games one practice for bigger games where chances to score are much less.

Son and Winks are the first names on the team sheet for me at the moment. They have the speed of thought and action that helps us go for the jugular when so many around them are playing the safe pass or taking the extra touch. They should both play mid week and against City.
