Tottenham Vs Southampton: Match Thread

[nightgoat]

I assume Poch thinks Ade is undroppable as it's easier to piss off Soldado and Kane as they won't upset the whole squad.

Sad, and i'm struggling to see what he Feels Ade can add to his way of playing that the other 2 don't or can't.

Hopefully Togo have a good ACN and he does his usual thing of taking about three months to return.

United are beating Everton and currently 4th in the EPL. 65 mins.

You want us to play defensive at home? Part of the reason we struggled on Thursday was because of the midfield.

I think there were better options for midfield to attempt to win the matchups there. Southampton's best players so far have been Schneiderlin and Wanyama. So, putting them up against a player like Capoue who they can match his power and stature with their own power and pace (along with quality) and Ryan Mason who is inexperienced (not only in match minutes but also in terms of the position and responsibilities that will be asked of him), does not seem like the best of ideas to me - playing at home or away.

I guess we just assume Adebayor starts every league game now. 1 goal in 6 games. Prolific.

Hes gonna score and play a blinder today. Mark my word

 

[Blake Griffin]

mason can play football, that beats physical ability every day of the week.

Predictable lineup and pochetinno honestly hasn't put faith in his word over under performers and those who deserve to take their place if merited, at least when it comes to Adebayor.

I'm not one of those who spouts off at the handle every time he doesn't bag a hat trick and I don't think he's been as bad as many have been saying but Kane has been far and away our best striker this season. He deserves a start.

No, I want Soton to be worried about our players going forward. I am not worried about their players.

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

Goes without saying. It's all about how we start today. Need to be at it from first minute! Massive performance needed.

 

[thinktank]

Near perfect line up and bench bar Ade somehow getting a start. It cant be a great incentive for kane and soldado to score goals in the Europa if it means nothing come the weekend :/

Let's see how long Ade survives if he jogs around today. Hopefully poch makes a point of subbing him early and makes a statement.

He obviously feels he can get something out of Ade and values his attributes/potential, against the other two strikers, enough to persevere with him.

It's all about threshold. Hopefully we are right on the edge of it with Ade.

My heart sinks when I see his name down of late, must admit.

Everton also suffering the curse of Thursday night football...

Ecstatic to see Ade in the lineup. He's really been firing on all cylinders recently.

And a turrible penalty by Baines. Everton's best player so far (Luke Shaw) just hobbled off so it looks like United should win this.

All one of them.

Ade has not been as bad as some of you make out

Curse is actually a good word to describe it. It is illogical to blame the Thursday-Sunday thing. I never tire of reminding people we won the League Cup on a Sunday after a EL game.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Saints line-up looks very decent IMO, 4-4-3/4-2-3-1 against our set up, Wanyama and Schneiderlin could easily dominate the midfield.

 

[TaoistMonkey]

Who the hell is Ade sleeping with to get a starting spot. Poch has disappointed me a bit here.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

I think you guys are overthinking the Ade situation. Pochettino named him a vice-captain for a reason - Pochettino obviously sees something in Ade tha we do not.

Or maybe Pochettino just saw what happened when AVB refused to play Ade, and how that worked out....the lesson is obviously play Ade, or lose your job.

This. But both Kane and Soldado have been better.
