Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Huddersfield Town

Who needs subs

 

3-0 HT. Our best half of the season, so far?
Huddersfield have really fought hard and put in a lot of effort, but we've played some lovely stuff, at times.
Need to come out focused and firing in the second half and keep them quiet.

 

Just come in from doing a BBQ so missed the fun. RIGHT, let's not finish here, let's BURY them by another three in the second half.

 

Great half - but bizarre to say that it was far from perfect!
Could and perhaps should have been 6-1. Great goals against an open Huddersfield, but warning signals around the midfield and defence getting in each other's way.
But brilliant from Harry and top stuff from Ben and Trips!!

 

They're not good enough to cause us any real problems - unless we allow them to!!

Signs of sloppiness creeping in towards the end of that half. If we let them get one, the crowd will get behind them and!?..

 

Yeah, but when did we last go 3 - 0 up away from home and then struggle to win a game?

Oh, ...............

 

Now lets see if we've learnt from last week

 

I said Kane's goals won't dry up anytime soon but I didn't expect this.

 

Very good first half by Spurs but i actually thought we were better against Everton away.

What price on Kane getting his hattrick?? It would be an absolute shock if he dosent get at least one more goal.

Dier has been very good, and a lovely finish by the welsh Roberto Carlos.

 

Eriksen with a decent corner and Dier nutmegs Kane at the back post. Oops.

 

Dele Alli's response...

Trippier down, as Ince flattens him in an aerial challenge nowhere near the ball.
I think he's probably just winded. No Aurier today, but we do have Walker-Peters on the bench.

 

Far be it from me to give knee jerk criticism to a spurs player but Dele is poor and that was just embarrassing

 

Alli booked for diving. Really stupid. Needs to stop doing that ****.
Might be time to get him off today, as he could do something silly and we'll end up with a repeat of last week.
Son would be the obvious choice.

 

Great move ... shame about the cross from Eriksen

 

Eriksen with a terrible ball when we have men spare. Not sure what he was thinking, there.

 

Vertonghen with his weekly punt from miles out! Really wants to score right now, doesn't he?

Double sub for Huddersfield. Need energy, I think.
Mooy and Lowe replaced by Billing and Malone.

 

Why dive when we're three up?

 

Get Dele off. Embarrassing plus a further indication of the rut he's in. Getting the hook for diving might be a good message for him.
