Tottenham Vs Southampton: Match Thread

De Gea keeps United in the game. Saves pen and 3 great chances in the last minutes. Stones carried off.
United win.

I think the most confusing this is that ade just doesn't contribute to poch's style of play.

It's meant to be high tempo, high pressing stuff which Is essentially the opposite of Ade.

This is why I can't get my head around why he is starting.

This is a must win game in my opinion. A loss here would be a disaster with City looming at the Etihad. We have the superior squad, are at home, and Pochettino in many people's estimation is the superior manager with the all important EPL experience.

Tadic is the player to watch for them. Great dribbler, excellent passer in tight spaces.

That sir,is what is known as "a load of old bollox".

Yes, Mrs. Kane.

Stop stressing over top 4 or you are gonna have a long and miserable season.

I am not stressing I am chatting

You were worried about goal difference in October

We have to match them for workrate. I am not happy to see Adebayor start again despite his lack of effort, would have preferred the in form Kane to start. We really struggled against the pressure of Besiktas with our second team on Thursday, we have to pass the ball better under pressure and work just as hard to win the ball back. Get that right and hopefully we'll have the quality to win.

Is that Tony Gale again?

What happened to the matchday chatroom?

It's odd to think Soldado has NEVER started a single, solitary game with Eriksen, Chadli, and Lamela in support of him. He also was one of our best players last year in both games against Southampton. It just doesn't seem as if Pochettino rates him all that highly.

 

[Indisguise]

No wonder Soldado hasn't got any f***ing confidence - never given a chance!

 

[beats1]

So is it that Poch has a ton of faith in Adebayor or does he really not rate Soldado or Kane?

So disappointing, we all know what we're going to get... Half-arsed pressing, unnecessary drifting from up top, poor touches and a lack of belief when played through on goal.

Your assessment sounds harsh but in fact its kind. He looked shell shocked against arsenal, as if he was suffering PTSD from the horrific 5-2 losses.

I actually think Poch is scared to drop Adebayor tbh.

Great minds think alike... cough cough

OK, not posted on here for a while or been on this site. Anyway, let's just focus on Spurs beating Southampton today!

 

[Wolver]

Has to be ade's last chance, surely... genuinely shocked to see him start...

 

[yankspurs]

Today's lineup has proven to me Poch is all talk wrt dropping poor players. How Ade is still in the X1 is embarrassing.

 

[sim0n]

Trying to stay positive, but disappointed Rose is starting over Davies...

but nevermind, COYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Here we go

I'm really not confident but fuck it, COYS!!!
