Match Threads Spurs vs Man City - Match Thread - Day 1 - KO 4:30 pm

Not expecting any subs at half time, but if we could bring on Gil & Gio for Bergwijn & Dele before the hour mark, that would be decent.

Think we might see Romero too - if he didn’t have any minutes in him at all then he wouldn’t have made the bench

 

[septicsac]

Dele quiet going forward but disciplined without the ball, good half all round, better than expected, well done JT.

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

A very disciplined performance by Dele as part of a midfield 3. Against City no less.
Now if he could produce a bit of magic.

Dele has been anomalous

 

[Frozen_Waffles]

Now this a team I can get behind.

Some great performances out there, Davinson, skipp, peh, but Japhet tanganga take a bow son.

 

[easley91]

I do wish VAR would start looking at goal kicks/corners and throw ins. How they didn't see it come off the backside I will never know. Apart from that it has gotten better I must say and not just this game.

 

[KILLA_SIN]

It's only one half but Davinson has been written off by far too many think we should give him one more season personally.

 

[Erm33]

Tanganga and Sanchez the standout pair defensively. Dier and Reguilon also been solid.

Lucas is our creative force/spark.

Dele off for Gio at 60 mins and Bryan on for Bergwijn at 70 mins would be the changes I'd expect unless a goal comes for either side.

 

[DarwinSpur]

That was a very decent 35 minutes.

 

[alfiemacdaddy]

Tanganga....what a performance!

 

[AtoubaToothpaste]

Surprisingly, we've defended very well. Love to see Tanganga absolutely bulldoze those oil pricks. He has to be our no.1 RB choice from henceforth. Son was infuriating. Three opportunities to cross and/or put in someone in a better position and he fluffed them all. Whatever happens with Kane, we 100% must by an elite no.10 to serve in those positions. We're still waiting to replace Eriksen. Dele ain't it. Hopefully he'll get more involved in the 2nd half.

 

[ackie]

Slightly disappointed in Dele's performance so far.
Im expecting better than last season.

 

[beats1]

I know I'm gonna get slaughtered for this but for me

Alli is anonymous, I don't see the point of his role

At least with Bergwijn he is making runs and being dangerous

Alli is trying to be too fancy and not seeing enough of him in the game

 

[mattstev2000]

Really impressed, much more positive than I was expecting, nice to watch a match where we have a bit of attacking intent again.

I'd like to see Skipp and Bergweijn off for GLC and Gil but I think everyone has done surprisingly well.

 

[coysjod]

Gil for?
Gio for?

GIO for dele and Gil for Steven

 

[glacierSpurs]

Dele quiet going forward but disciplined without the ball, good half all round, better than expected, well done JT.

I think Dele's really good and put in alot of effort that can be easily overlooked.

 

[tommo84]

Encouraging last 30 mins whatever happens in the 2nd half. Son’s decision making has been crap but he’s still looked dangerous and they look a bit scared of him. Keep it going Spurs.

 

[kaz Hirai]

He was terrible under Pochettino for a long time too.

Disagree with that, solid under poch for most of his spell

 

[AtoubaToothpaste]

Dele saving himself for the 2nd half I hope

Feels like he's been saving himself for the last three seasons.

 

[Fredo]

Bring Gil on

 

[fecka]

Tanganga has looked incredible and, surprisingly, Sanchez and Dier as well. Dele, however, has almost looked more like a championship player than the talented individual that he is.
