sorry but how many do you have to score to be first on MOTD?

The media have it in for us don't you know.

No just him

Oh and those glasses in Steel Magnolias. Very sexy.

I feel guilty to enjoy watching us winning without Poch being around anymore.

You'll get over it.

People keep calling him Sonaldo, but i think Ronaldo would be proud to be called Ronalson

Great assist by Jan, set Sonny's goal up on a plate..

I’ve already watched the full 90 minutes once at the stadium and twice recorded on game of the day, and now I’m going to watch it again.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

I’ve just watched the game of the day on Sky. Those who feel the need to say Burnley were woeful really need to soak their collective heads. We didn’t score 5 because Burnley never turned up, we scored 5 because we utterly outclassed them in every area of the pitch.

Our shape was excellent. What I really noticed was the way we controlled space when we didn’t have the ball, closing down passing channels, pressing them back into their own half, hunting in packs without actually overextending ourselves. The off the ball work was, I felt, the most noticeable improvement for me.

As for our movement when we had the ball, absolutely superb. We mixed up the way we attacked, whether it be long ball, build from the back or individual brilliance, we got the full bag of tricks today.

Burnley got schooled today by a superb performance.

100%. Burnely actually showed up, they tried, they had their chances and in fact early on we were lucky to not concede. Tottenham was just that much better.

Wish Beece was here after an excellent 5-0 win, furiously eviscerating Alli in long-hand for not playing that easy square pass to Son when both of them went through on goal. Only blemish of an otherwise perfect day is that post not being in this thread to liven things up.

He will be absolutely irate that we only had 51% possession.

Warms the cockles eh?

I loved Harry’s first goal, took me back a few years, and remembered when he was scoring them for fun.

But Son’s goal was extraordinary. I’ve watched it a few times now, and still can’t believe it.

It really was awesome. If Son wasn't firmly on the radar of the big big big teams before, he most certainly is now. Given how much better he's gotten year after year, i can see a Real, Barca, PSG and Bayern all sniffing around and and potentially waving wads of cash at Son and Levy. In today's market he must be a 80 to 100m player... Or more.

Truly one of the best when he's on song.

Ok. Well ive had time to reflect so i didnt overreact to a great win

Gazzaniga - 6 - had nothing to do
Aurier - 6 i mean, i could go back and rewatch and probably count 5 or 6 unnecessary fouls.
Sanchez - 9 - great defensive display. His was a magnet for the ball. Brilliant stuff
Toby - 7 His long balls are his best asset And were key today. But at this point, they are the only thing keeping him in the team for me
Jan - 8 A solid performance at LB.
Dier - 7 Awful give away in the first half aside, finally a solid performance.
Sissoko - 8 HE SCORES WHEN HE WANTS
Lucas - 8 Got a goal. Good performance too
Dele - 8 Played very well even without a goal. Loving this new Dele
Son - 10 Well what is there to say. Simply stunning performance. Caused Burnley fits and wreaked havoc on their defense. Had a sensational goal that might be the best individual goal we’ve seen in quite some time. Incredible. Easy MOTM.
Kane - 9 Two very good goals and a great performance. Would have taken him off as he was taking a ton of knocks but i understand leaving him on to try to get the hat trick

Also he brings huge revenue from shirt sales etc....

Just look at the extra KOREAN / ASIAN people who support Spurs because of him

Agree with this completely.

What also stood out for me is that we scored 4 fantastic goals. None of those strikes were easy by any stretch of the imagination. Kane's two strikes would have been worthy of goal of the week or month. And Son's was even better. Immediately in the consideration for goal of the year, nevermind month!

I truly hope this is a sign of things to come from Jose. The players are looking more like themselves than they have for the past year. (With the exception of the UTD game.
