Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur vs Southampton 26/12/17 - 12:30 Boxing Day Beat Down

But now Eric Black has gone, we will be much better, right?

 

I know it's obvious, but everything we lack going forward they have in abundance. Movement, pace, link up play, clinical finishing, patience in midfield, quick play going forward. And then we can't defend on top of that.

 

disregard, I let my anger get the best of my before i saw the replay. Sorry Shane you're alright

 

MP just sent JWP back to warm up. Clearly hoping for a mid match rule change that allows two keepers to be deployed simultaneously.

 

Even the referee has had enough!!

 

Tottenhams goal scorers (in no particular order)

S.A.K.K.K.!!!

 

Bet365 only has Pellegrino at 5/1 for next manager sacked. Thought it'd be worse.

 

Van Dijk: been causing **** all pre season. Got a talking to and decided to actually buck his ideas up for a few months. Got called outby Pellegrino a few weeks back about not giving a **** and hasn't played since. The guy is toxic

Bertrand: caused **** in pre season as well as a big hand of getting Puel sacked. Then told he can go in the summer so has relaxed knowing he has got what he has got.

Shane and Davis have both become declined and been ****.

One or two more who got Puel sacked seem to not really care.

The rest of it is down to having a **** manager. It is very much the perfect storm of ****

 

I said before KO that Yoshida has been a problem for weeks now. I blame MP for rotating Wesley in and out each week, but I don't blame MP for Maya being a liability. Still.

 

Experience suggests when can't score you secure the back (re Big Sam, Pulis etc) and not keep doing the same thing week in week out and leeking goals.
We proved the five at the back helps against the big teams so why the f**k are we playing like this?

 

Targett & PEH have stood out because they’ve put in 100% and that’s the biggest concern

 

Maybe old Pell' has gotten bored but wants his dismissal package as quickly as possible?

 

Tadic celebrated

 

Shame. Probably means PEH has done enough to get left out again.

(Although in truth, if it means him being fresh for Palace, PEH not playing against Utd might be no bad thing)

 

First time we've scored 2 goals away from home! Shame about the whole being 5 goals down though.

 

Erm, Dusan - not the time to celebrate.

 

To be fair that half-arsed fist bump is the most emotion we've seen from anyone in a Saints shirt this game.

 

All things that have happened in previous seasons. that's just football.

 

What a strange game this is. Almost unreal.

 

For a top keeper Lloris always as an error in him, weird because he is good. But two **** ups gifted us goals and also the **** up in the first half.

 

We have scored more than one in a game for only the fourth time this season...a minute crumb of comfort.

 

Oddly, we`ve made enough good chances to win most away games.
