Match Threads Southampton vs Spurs - Match Thread - Day 2

[stormfly]

So is that only the second time in Premier League history that a Jose team has scored 5? Both with Spurs as well.

Lo Celso play we play. What a difference he makes. Ndombele is great on the ball but too much a passenger off it. Lo Celso is way more proactive. I think Ndombele plays against weaker opposition where we dominate but a sub in the tougher games. I know he has to get his fitness up so hopefully he can change that.

Down to his fitness levels off the Ball anyway glad he got 45 today and a start best thing for us is he makes it here

 

[Derryank]

That correlation doesn't suggest causation.

I bet Jose would disagree

 

[SonicSarr]

Sonny is world class. Son, Kane, Bale is seriously frightening.

 

[yankspurs]

Add Lucas to the for sale list.

 

[easley91]

Agreed. Fill up your fantasy team with penalty takers - there are going to be loads this year!

Why do you think I have Bruno? ?

 

[TheVoiceofReason]

DO. NOT. SELL. LAMELA.

Even when his passing is sloppy. NOBODY in the squad can change the mentality of the team like he can. Always, always positive.

If southampton are one of the tougher games then what are the weaker opposition?

No, he beat Arsenal 6-0 at least once. It's a false stat that appear in the doc

edit: quick look shows that was 2013/14 - in 05/06 he bear Bolton 5-1, in 14/15 he beat everton 6-3, swansea 5-0

Never did it with Utd though

 

[hughy]

One season wonder penalty merchant. Doesn't have anything to his game apart from scoring and assisting goals. Overrated.

 

[Amo]

I bet Jose would disagree

I'm sure he would.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Surely it's easier aiming for a defenders arm in the box than it is curling the ball in the top corner past ten players.

Mane will have been practicing without a doubt.

 

[lis spur]

Handball rule is fucked. Someone else said, just kick it onto a players arm, and it’s a pen. That needs to be sorted out. Kane and son brilliant, ndombele changed the game though and gave us belief for the second half.

That Champions league final started that shite.

 

[Shadydan]

I've got massive mixed feelings about this match, delighted we won obviously, not happy about the lack of control on the pitch especially in the first half, terrified about our defence, Doherty seemingly cannot play in a back 4 and our midfield was painful to watch until Gio came on, Hobjberg doesn't seem to be the answer, I don't think he's mobile enough and Ndombele can only play 25 mins without getting tired, I am absolutely salivating at the thought of Bale coming into this team in the front 3 because we will be absolutely lethal on the counter but Jesus we have some work to do at the back, mental.

 

[chrissivad]

When he dropped back into his best position, he was much better. 1st half no.

Agree, so far with Winks and Sissoko coming in and out it's been disjointed.

Second half today sat back more with winks and we looked much better.

 

[RichieS]

They weren't catastrophic tactics. It is how they play every game and normally with good success, we just exploited it so well in the second half. But, we need to play more like that, in the second half we were quicker on the ball, we were looking for options, not just trying to play long balls into space hoping that someone will connect to them. Our players can play, even our defensive ones, Jose needs to give them that opportunity.

This is what José is supposed to be the master of, isn't it?

 

[hughy]

If I was a manager my main tactic in the opponents box would consist of four words.

Aim for the arms.

No, he has done it with Chelsea I believe. Was posted last time we scored 5

 

[tony0379]

Kane and Son...wow.
Kane and Aston and Bale.....double wow

Oh absolutely
