Match Threads Southampton Vs Spurs

[nferno]

How are we getting the first yellow card of the game when they have been stopping our counter with cynical fouls all game?!

 

[Marty]

Any sensible answers to how we’ve been playing? I’m not watching the game. Sounds like a good game, hopefully we hang on or get a 4th.

Better going forward, shambolic defensively.

 

[Trent Crimm]

The generally effusive Croatian comms are clearly bored. It sounds like they are reading an insurance policy out loud.

The first one??
I missed it

But the second he comes flying out, despite Son already pressing that player, doesn't play a slight bit of attention to the free player. Then when the ball is moved on and they are in a good position he spends the time protesting.

He's bang average and gets far top much praise from some.

Rewarded for mediocrity

Usually when a player has to work as hard as he does it’s because they’re not top top quality, sure working hard in that role should be a given but usually quality players just make the game look easier even whilst they’re trying hard , modric, Bentancur, dembele, Bissouma even, carrick, etc PEH is so much hussle and bussle, that’ll only get you so far imo.

I fell asleep earlier for the first time whilst watching spurs in over 40 years.

All over the place. Typical performance from this season.

A few good attacking transitions followed by us dropping off and letting them press us into losing the ball.

Certain players mot doing enough off the ball. Lapses in concentration. Botching attacks etc etc

Ive only watched from HT admittedly but we are a poor team to watch. Never look in control

 

[djhotspur]

Son stays on yet been dogshit second half

 

[idontgetit]

Absolutely incredible that we’d withdraw a fullback but it not be Perisic. Stunning. If we concede down the left Conte should be sacked instantaneously

Which left-back would you like to bring on?

 

[spursville]

Every day in training Danjuma must be turning up late and then squatting down for a dump near the corner flag before refusing to join in.

I guess we're keeping the same shape, but tbh moving to a 352 and securing the middle might be a better call.

 

[djhotspur]

Disagree. Need more bodies in midfield and enerson is solid defensively

 

[rossdapep]

The fact that Kane is having to drop into the first pivot role at times is utterly shocking

Emerson is better Defensively

 

[haxman]

It's an amusing, perennial curiosity that, when we concede a goal, about 10% of the time the commentators (in this case online) attribute it to bad defending. For instance, both of Southampton's goals today have been entirely credited to their architects and scorers, with no mention of any failings by the defenders.

For the same goals, week after week, 90% of contributors to the math threads blame a specific, individual Spurs defender and no one ever credits the opposition attackers.

Probably because the defender could do better.

 

[spursville]

Changing the manager and most of the players would be the best call.

He hasn’t learnt the safe word yet.

 

[Marty]

Who’s been good or bad individually mate?

Højbjerg awful for both goals, leaves other players helplessly exposed by just charging around like a headless chicken. Dier also not great.

Porro very good, Son much better than recently.

 

[Gilzean at the near post]

Has anyone noticed that since Sarr had a brilliant performance at away to AC Milan that he has not had a look in

Yes. Such a shame. Conte is so safety 1st and never trusts a young player unless forced into it
