    he's not good enough for a team who want to press.

    Quality on the ball, great passing, vision and finishing.

    Ask him to take a man on or help to mark a man and he's useless. He gets played on the wing but he can't cover attacking fullbacks.

    He's a great little player for a team that needs some creativity but in an end to end game or one against the big sides, it's a tough ask to ask a team to carry him physically.

    omg, I've just seen the game, **** me, you're rqving about that performance? lol, what a ****ing joke, I think I could've saved most of those, even though I'm in my late 40's, as nearly all of them were straight at him. I think Tottenham must've spent the week practising kicking balls at a De Gea target, rather than into the goal behind it

    You’ll find a lot of fans agreeing with that. Gone massively downhill the past 18 months. He was once our best player for a few years, nowadays he’s probably one of the weakest of our XI.

  5. Cheers Bobby - you'd know better than me obviously. I guess I just get blinded by his skill some times!

    World cup hangover ? Booze ? What's the problem with him. He's gone from a worldie to an accident waiting to happen

    that no longer matters, you can drop the ball in the goal and still be the GOAT.

    you'd need to make him the fulcrum. He's kind of like Riquelme (if you ever watched him play) in that respect but he puts the effort it but is just weak and slow which isn't his fault. Guys only 5ft6 but just doesn't have the energy or the burst to get away. Very much David Silva light.

    Super skillful though and can be deadly on the ball

    he's not as good as he was. Not sure why people are blaming Lloris though for that goal. It nestled right in the corner pretty much in off the post lol. Was a cracking rashford finish

    Not to mention he saved a cracker when pogba nearly lobbed him

    Trippier’s got the World Cup hangover, mate. Hype has gotten to his head, nowhere near as good as he was last season.

    As for Lloris, he was gash last season so can’t even blame it on booze or the World Cup. Seriously don’t know what’s gone wrong. It’s been made worse for him by the fact Gazzaniga has been ****ing brilliant.

    What happened to Harold Klaim today ? I didn't see the game. Is he out long term or is he just being a pussy ? If he's out, then you're short up front with no Son either.

    Potentially ankle ligament damage. Our three best players this season - Kane, Son and Sissoko - could all be out for a while now. Fun times.
