Team Form: __ Spurs DWDLD __ Southampton WDWLW

We have won 7 of our last 8 home Premier League (PL) matches against Southampton (Soton) (W7 D0 L1), losing the other 2-1 in May 2016. Soton are looking to win consecutive PL matches against us for the first time since winning three in a row between January 2003 and 2004.

Us vs Soton will become only the second PL fixture PL fixture to be played in five different stadiums (Wemley, White Hart Lane, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, St Mary's, The Dell), after us vs Westham (Wembley, White Hart Lane, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Boleyn Ground, London Stadium).

We have lost 10 of our 24 PL games so far in 2019, our most in a single calendar year in the competition since 2014 (12/38). Of ever-present sides over the two seasons, only Brighton (13), Watford (12) and Bournemouth (11) have lost more PL games this year than Spurs. Our last 8 PL victories have been in home games, our last had a longer run of wins coming exclusively at home between April 2000 and January 2001 (10).

Kane has scored with 8 of his 12 shots on target for Spurs against Soton in the PL, scoring in each of his last 5 appearances against The Saints (7 goals). Dele Alli has been involved in 9 goals in 6 PL starts against Soton (5 goals 4 assists). Since the start of last season, Kane has ended on a losing side in 5 PL matches in which he has scored - more than any other player.

Soton have lost more PL matches against their former managers than any other club (18 in total), with a third of those coming from Poch (6).

Let this be the start of the Poch revival, please.
Play the most willing players, in their best positions and put some fire in their bellies.

The season starts against villa against palace NOW

 

[CookieYiddo]

1-1. But it’s fine because the performance will be “pleasing”

 

[Mr Pink]

Fast start like Palace, and a good tempo throughout.

Poch mush get that right for tomorrow, no matter what.

3-0. Hatrick for Harry

One of the rare occurrences where I actually think the performance is more important than the result, despite the two defeats on the spin.

An awful 1-0 win wouldn't really fix anything. I need to signs our pressing, one touch football and aggression is back.

We played well against Leicester, we played well for a half against Palace. People have very short memories.

I completely agree and, what’s more, I... hang on, what was the point you were making again?

Fuck ?. I’ve had a few and people saying the performance is more important than the result set me off on a tangent. I didn’t bother including the donkey, two headed dwarf and tin of Ajax.

3-1 and the start of a good run of results.

Been offered 2 tickets to the game tomorrow (ST holders can't make it) - 1 adult and 1 junior. Taking a friend, we're both in out 30s. Will my friend have any problems getting in on a junior ST? I've been to a few games before and seem to recall using the ST as a contactless card at the turnstile, so don't think there will be any staff about to check, but don't wanna risk it if it will cause problems.. Any advice would be great. Thanks
