Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Southampton

He is one of our young academy players who is learning his craft and MP is rewarding him for progress by giving him tastes of playing in the first team when he can. That's why he's on the bench IMO.

 

Are we any closer to knowing what that is all about? Assuming of course he hasn't been shagging Poch's missus ......

 

Wanyama's got those strips that Bale used to use, but they're on his back, rather than his legs.

 

Son should score that. Decent save, but the keeper shouldn't have a chance.

 

Brilliant run and pass..... and then a **** corner!!

 

The version that makes the most sense is that he picked up a knee injury against Wycombe, and the evidence suggesting this is:
* He was certainly hobbling against Wycombe before getting subbed at half time
* He posted a (since deleted) pic on Twitter of his knee in a brace
* I can't recall seeing him in any training photos lately
* He doesn't feature in PL2 games even though he's eligible (while Pau Lopez does)

 

Dier in the book. Looked like he got the ball, but went in too hard.

 

Oooooh! Nice

 

1-0, Eriksen. That's a lovely hit.

 

Get in! What a strike!

 

He makes that look so easy. Really nicely taken.

 

1-0 Eriksen

 

Dele should have set up Eriksen there!!

 

Obvious shirt pull on Alli, there. Blind side of the ref, possibly.

 

Dier did well then to recover. We are playing pretty well but it's not totally comfortable.
Our corners are devastating as usual......

 

Not of the linesman......

 

Sh*t almost had an RCL moment then!

 

That's some save by Forster. Bloody hell.

 

Nearly an equaliser there. Pissing about a bit and that's what happens.

 

Bloody hell that was a close call all round!
