Match Threads Stoke vs Tottenham Hotspur - Match Thread

[LexingtonSpurs]

Aurier really does not inspire a lot of confidence right now

 

[StevePil]

Lots of possession but no chances, Son/Eriksen have been poor but big 2nd half

Don't drop points today after the euphoria of last Sunday

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

We are in a great position to capitalize on the Scouse result and even close in on United this weekend.

Simply have to increase our intensity and final pass in the second half.

 

[Damian99]

As bizarre as it sounds - We played much more fluid when the big man was out - Was it 10 goals without him?

 

[Pellshek]

Shaqiri is in absolutely no position to be criticising his team mates in the papers.

 

[chinaman]

Wanyama has been very poor.

 

[samspurs92]

Son having consecutive games where he can’t control the ball.

Get Lamela on, Stoke are here for the taking.

 

[Colston]

Aurier really does not inspire a lot of confidence right now

I love his throw ins, he looks so concerned with not fouling them no wonder he puts us under pressure every time he takes one.

 

[Frozen_Waffles]

Eriksen and Kane off the boil today.

I have been impressed by aurier, Dele and Sanchez. Stoke have fought their asses off.

Erik Peters is not a footballer. Maybe a bouncer?

 

[scat1620]

Still think we'll win this by 2 clear goals.

 

[jonathanhotspur]

Eriksen and Alli have not been anywhere near as bad as Son. He has been so sloppy. Needs to sort it out second half or he will be first to go.

I was thinking the same. But how many times does he play like shite for an hour or so, and then hit a screamer?...He is driving me mad.

 

[StockSpur]

this is what we need, stoke actually putting in a shift for the first time this season S:

 

[Lamelaaaaaa]

Wanyama has been very poor.

Hasn't been the same since his Injury

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Has his purple patch ended?

I think it's more a case of the enigmatic nature of the fella. Brilliant one week, can't trap a ball the next.

 

[ajspurs]

We don't look sharp and focused in the final third. It's one of those games where the spaces are there but we're not being calculated and crisp enough to capitalise.

It's also one of those games where we really could have done with that Son chance to have been converted, as we're struggling to test Butland.

 

[WiganSpur]

We've had one or two nearly moments, think i'd give it another 10/15 then bring Lamela or Moura on for Son.

 

[spids]

Kane looks well off the pace, looks like he is playing within himself a bit though, an I expect him to step it up after 60 mins. Would like to see Moura get a run at Pieters who is on a yellow, and I'd bring him on for Son whose got a touch of the wonkey donkeys today.

 

[CantSmileWithoutYou]

Frustrating so far. Alli and Eriksen tripping over each other most of the time. Need to create some space possibly need to switch in Lamela in on 60 if it's still nil nil

 

[SirNiNyHotspur]

Lots of below Par performances up front, 70% possession and 1 chance says it all

 

[BobC]

Spurs to score straight after kick off. Mark my words! Very different second half coming up.
