Match Threads Stoke vs Tottenham Hotspur - Match Thread

I think this game needs Lamela, need a bit of composure in the forward areas.

 

[Super Tottenham]

It will come

Think Aurier has had a good game so far.

Keep your knickers on when I say this, chaps, but I am soooo disappointed with Aurier thus far. He is going to have to undergo a radical transformation. Maybe a sex change or something.

And become a Man!

 

[fortworthspur]

the good news is we can kick it up 3 or 4 gears and Stoke is maxed out.

Not watching it, but in game stats suggest we're all over them but the final third is packed tighter than a Tokyo metro car full of sardine cans?

One goal will probably be enough to win it.

As flat as 30AA tits.

We did drag them about and get in some promising positions sporadically (usually for Aurier to absolutely barbecue), and in the last 5-10 mins this was increasing, but unless the front four (particularly Kane and Son) wake up a bit and master basics such as controlling the ball might be an equally painful second half.

Like your comparison to 30AA tits.

Making me nervous when he is in possession or defending. But otherwise, I can see where you are coming from.

What's left after that??

Can't remember the last time Kane played 45 minutes without a shot at target. He's clearly not a 100% back in rythm. That's to be expected though considering his injury. As I see it Pochettino decided to play Kane because we need him during the last matches of the season.

Anyway, just up the tempo a bit we'll win this comfortably. Would be ideal if Kane scored and found his previous form.

He has handled the physical Ramadan. But with the ball at his feet you can see the gulf in intelligence between him and Trips

 

[spurs mental]

Aurier is going to give me a heart attack

 

[Adam456]

Wasn't able to pipe up before game but would have said that this happens every time we start Wanyama and Dembele doesn't it. Lack of ideas. End up substituting and suddenly playing better late in the game

 

[heelspurs]

So now Poch has put dele left, CE @ 10 and Sonny right...imagine we should have started that way.

 

[WiganSpur]

Kane is awful when he's not 100%. But to get him 100% you have to persevere with him so he can get sharp again.

Eriksen on a Sunday jog.

 

[tony0379]

That extra touches we keep taking is pissing me off

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Red for that.

 

[thinktank]

Stop trying to do too much, sonny; just move it on and run off it.
