Match Threads Spurs Vs Everton

[Japhet]

Enjoying Dier smashing Richarlison all over the gaff.

Romero got in on it too. I do enjoy seeing a serial diver get a slice of pie.

We definitely have something to build on here. For the first time in a while I think there are quite a few players here who are good enough to start for us.

Until we lose again.

Then the majority of this shitty squad needs to be replaced, Conte is shit & needs to shut his flappy gob, and Putin would be a better owner than ENIC.

BBC: Tottenham forward Son Heung-min has been involved in 11 goals in his last 12 Premier League games (seven goals, four assists). Only team-mate Harry Kane (eight) and Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes (seven) have been involved in more goals in the competition in 2022 than Son (six)

Which makes me wonder why certain people, the usual people, seem to be laying the groundwork for scapegoatdom almost on a weekly basis. They don't see what he brings apparently. Take the shit out of your eyes then. We're a better team with him in it.

he's been poor ( basing on his standards ) no doubt about it, maybe "the usual people" do go a bit ott with it, but he hasn't been the sonny we're used to and maybe that's cos we have such high standards for him. Against Middlesbrough he was horrendous ( as were most ) was bad against burnley and had an easy pass to Kane to make it 1-0 but didn't get his head up, the start to the game last night too, his decision making was bad, should of slotted sess in, one on one finish was bad, and his goal was a keeper error.

son is my favourite player and has been for years, so no shit in my eyes. But his overall play hasn't been upto what we've come to expect.

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

He makes me laugh.

I've never seen a guy who can fall over while he's falling over before.

what is your first language?

I'm guessing, not one you're happy with?

Their game in hand over us is at home to Liverpool..

I feel we took our eye off the ball when we had a few games in hand on them. I also feel it’s a little too late to challenge Arsenal , they look very strong for 4th.

I hope I’m wrong.

Great performance against a poor team - but putting in good performances against teams we should be beating is something we've struggled with, so definitely signs for hope!

I'm usually in the South Stand, but last night swapped seats with someone and ended up in the North Stand - it's like a different stadium up there, very very quiet and a lot of people only making any noise to groan about any missed pass or the idea that at 3-0 we might want to slow the game down a bit. I'd hate to be up there in a game we're not winning 5-0...... What can we do to generate a better atmosphere from the North and West stands?

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

I actually think we will go up there and beat Man.U, especially if Ronaldo fancies a holiday again, with Cavani out also they’ll have no focal point and our back 5 should control them, mark Bruno and Pogba out the game and the rest of their team bar Sancho is Shite.

COYS #believe

Fucking hell. As if Richarlisons face wasn't slapable enough.

Hopefully Dier smashes the diving, cheating ratty ****.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

maybe "the usual people" do go a bit ott with it,

There you go then, you agree.

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

Excellent performance and result. Kane is simply awesome, and maybe just maybe we've found a decent RWB. But Utd will tell us so much.

There he is

First it was being happy with the starting lineup, followed that by being happy with the result & even went as far as praising one of 2 of our players.

I don't want to get ahead of myself but I'm seeing shoots of progression. United will tell me so much .

 

[Matthew]

There you go then, you agree.

not at all, you said people were scapegoating him, people aren't scapegoating him. all i said was some of the comments were over the top. you picked one part from my post to suit with what you wanted it to.

It’s hard to take too much from a match where the opposition was so very poor. FL was a bad appointment for Everton. Hopefully he can get some sort of performance from them when they play Arsenal later on.

They go to the Goons on the last game of the season I think. Have to hope Everton need something from that game and are fighting for survival as otherwise it will be a walkover.

There were a couple of our matches earlier this season when our defence got a lot of criticism for what was really the failure of our midfield to get any kind of grip on the ball or the game. One of them was the recent match against Southampton. Sure, there were defensive errors, but mainly because of the incessant pressure on them, caused by the midfield constantly coughing up the ball under the lightest of pressure, passing directly to opponents or into touch and being late to every 50/50.

I think that was Everton's main problem last night. Keane and Holgate made specific msitakes leading to goals, but if it hadn't been those, it would have been others, because they got absolutely no protection. Van de Beek had a
reputation as a good, forceful player, but he was lackadaisical and miles off the pace against us. Allan wasn't much better. If you're going to play an uncombative, slow midfield, it's suicide to play a high line against Son, Sessegnon, Reguilon and Kane, not to mention Doherty's and Kulusevski's canny distribution.

It's not clear how much of the reversal in our midfield since Southampton has been down to our improved fitness and motivation (and the inclusion of Bentancur) and how much is due to Leeds and Everton having powder-puff midfields. Some of it is also due to Doherty, Sessegnon, Kulusevski and Kane coordinating their support of our 2-man midfield so Bentancur and Højbjerg aren't outnumbered, but without impoverishing our attacking options by dragging Kane into a full-time midfield role.

Doherty has been impressive in the last couple of games as he fights for that spot with Royal. At the moment he has grasped his chance and appears to have a good understanding with Kulu, who again has impressed. Tougher games ahead will tell us where he/we are at but for the moment games like Leeds and Everton can only boost Doh's confidence as he tries to impress on Antonio.

No, I said they were laying the groundwork to scapegoat him. It's what seems to be coming next. I picked the one part of your post that was actually fucking relevant to what I said.

I know what I said and I know what I meant. But OK you crack on pretending I said something I didn't. Fuck me.

 

[Flobadob]

Personally hope Southgate proves to be a stupid as he looks & doesn't call Dier up. Or any of our players for that matter.

He doesn't know how how to get the best out of what's available to him & all our guys seem to get out of International football, is injuries.

But when he's consistently picked the likes of Maguire, Mings & Coady while completely ignoring Dier. He doesn't bloody deserve to have him now.

I’m one of those idiots that actually think we have a chance in the next World Cup, that’s the only reason I’d like to see him called up. Maguire needs dropping and there aren’t many better candidates than Dier to come in. I’d say Dier, White, Konsa, Kilman and Tomori are all in with a shout of being selected if Southgate has any sense. Been a while since we had so many decent CB options

you also quoted the bbc stats from his last few games which i also did but from a different perspective, but okay. no need to get arsey.

Until we lose again.

Then the majority of this shitty squad needs to be replaced, Conte is shit & needs to shut his flappy gob, and Putin would be a better owner than ENIC.

And then the emotional SC rollercoaster will continue.

Last night was a lot fun, but helped by how poor Everton were. We still need to strengthen, but our league position is about right fighting out with Arsenal, Man U and West Ham.

I think you're dead right about Son's recent form, but weirdly it almost confirms how good a player he is that, in spite of his recent dodgy performances, he's still managed to get 11 attacking returns in 12 games.

I think it's absolutely legitimate to point out that Son's been a bit off it lately, but I maintain that anyone who actually wants to drop him is outright wrong. Even an in-form Bergwijn would be lucky to get half the attacking returns of an off-form Son. This team NEEDS Son's goals and assists, so we just have to accept that he's not always going to be at his scintillating best and be happy that he's still scoring in spite of that.

Didn’t realise his goal return was that good, but in my opinion the problem seems to be that when he comes back he struggles to receive the ball with his back to their goal. He gives up possession far too often. whether that’s because of a lack of awareness or a lack of control or a combination of both
Maybe the answer is not giving him the ball unless he’s running forward?
