The Spurs Thread

Defi back boys

[redbloodcell]

Coming on to face tired legs is just the tonic Son needed, and switching up the midfield to a 3 helped to take the control of the game off Leicester when they were looking threatening. 

 

I don't want to ever see Perisic at RWB again 😅

[Stoppy2000]

Yep. 6 goals and we didn't even play that well!?! Madness. I want Son back smiling though. 

[Jammy]

I was hoping Conte might have seen the light after switching to a three man midfield against Leicester…

[Shimmyhill]

We got our usual loss at the library and whether the red changed the result is debatable, some awful defending was the main cause but Arsenal dont seem to be anything special - plenty of fire and thunder but without lax defending they didnt look that threatening and the better teams should swat them aside. With 11 I think we could have still drawn or nicked a win even playing badly so status quo.

Yeah, unfortunate that Lloris had his customary seasonal monumental balls-up yesterday.

It’s fun being a Spud.

 

Nothing is ever easy is it lol.

It should've been a lot easier. No idea why Kane decided that Gil was Peter Crouch when there was an easy low cross on. Ah well.

Gill has looked exciting in his previous two cameos. He may not be the exact player we need going forward, but I hope we see more of him.

He looked well up for it when he came on. I still think he's a bit lightweight - especially with the new rules where the refs are letting more physical contact go. He could be good though.

Managed to get tickets for the home game against Sporting, so taking my lad to his first game

[Shimmyhill]

Jolly decent of Everton popping along for a 90 min training session!

 

Needed a game like that with the crazy schedule up to the corruption cup break.

It was very laid back. Even when they were losing they didn't exactly put much pressure on our defence. It's rare that I'm comfortable watching us keep possession at the back.

It seems that the stadium naming rights deal with Google is nearly over the line. Thoughts on the name ? I hope it’s something less obvious like The New Lane, but am fully expecting it to be the Google Stadium or something awful. Maybe The GoogleHeim ?

Fans will call it the Lane regardless! I’d rather Google had nothing to to do with the club

[milko]

They've got Google Stadia branding going spare, just need to work the training ground into it for the plural.

Brilliant! 😂

Watching on Amazon Prime versus Man U

 

What is it with the short goal kicks and the back row? Heading for disaster there, it's nearly failed every time but they persist

Yep. We don't have the players to play that way. Asking for trouble. 

[Shimmyhill]

We have done it for years, statistically you retain possession more often than the keeper hoofing it - that across all teams not just Spurs!

[meatbin]

We've got to make our counter attacking chances in this game count since we're letting United have everything.

[englishbob]

Loris is the team. Lucky to get 0-0 at HT

[Stoppy2000]

We've been so bad here. 

[englishbob]

73rd minutes and no.changes then, going for the loss

We've arguably been set up to lose all night. 

[Stoppy2000]

Here comes Skipp. Chances of him doing anything - zero. 

[Shimmyhill]

3 defenders should turn this game around….

[Stoppy2000]

Sanchez has just enough time to give away a penalty or get sent off. 

[englishbob]

United will feel some sort of positive hope of how great they have played (given the punditry comments going on right now) but facts are we were piss poor tonight

Yeah the pundits getting excited about United need to realise that spurs can make anyone look good. I'd give Spence a game - at least he attempted to take his man on.
