"I owe you an apology, I wasn't familiar with your game"
Our bench suddenly looks a little better with Kulu, Richy, Perisic etc on it as wellApart from scoring a hattrick, he also worked his socks off pressing.
Sonny in the centre, with Solomon/Johnson on the wings looks pretty tasty, with plenty of pace upfront.
Been such a bizarre opinion this. Every time he’s played there he’s done excellently and I’ve been saying all summer that he’s FAR more suited to playing centrally these days. Especially in a system that moves the ball forward as quickly as possible like this one"Sonny can't play centrally"
Agree. Think Spurs fans have become so used to the ST needing to be a hold-up player that we can't imagine anything else working lolBeen such a bizarre opinion this.

Mate, I'll hold my hands up!Could never take seriously anyone on here saying he's finished (as recently as this morning, for fucks sake), and that he can't play down the middle as if we haven't seen him do it before. Likewise, that he was the wrong choice for captain, when he's the perfect and only choice, because he has the respect of literally everyone, is a club legend, adores the club and will stay through thick and thin, and can back it all up with the goals.
Glad that he's stuffed it up a few people this afternoon and hope that they have the moment of reflection that's required. At the end of the day he is an excellent runner and an absolutely elite finisher, and at the very top end of the elite finishers at that, both statistically, and on the eye, over years and years. You just need to give him the opportunities.
Stick him up top, Richy is his understudy, and we go from there putting it on a plate for him.
