Match Threads Southampton vs Spurs - Match Thread - Day 2

[spursfan77]

Thats the main problem with Mourinhos style of defend and nick a goal. Once you're behind its very hard to suddenly change pace and go at a team sitting back with a lead.
We'll see how we're playing once the new boys settle and everyones fit.
Today isnt a bed wetter whatever the result.

True. But I do feel southampton could be both the best team to play (they are quite open) and the worst (when up for it they are quite high energy).

It sounds quite an obvious thing to say, but it really depends on what team on either side turns up on the day.

Looking for big performances from Davies, Dele and Lucas. All have to know that they are under pressure for their spots in the near future.

This game will tell us more about the mentality of the group, will players roll over and just think that their starting place is going in the coming weeks, or will we see a response?

Really want Kane to start getting back to his best, he needs games we all know that. But I feel that he will start being rotated next week or risk being burnt out, really want a couple of goals from him today.

COYS!

If the feel good factor surrounding the club after the signings doesn’t improve our performances then nothing will. Expecting big games from Dele and N’dombele today. Have a sneaky feeling N’dombele may even get a start today. Obviously Walker-Peters to have a blinder as well

 

[bat-chain]

If José's whole thing is about keeping it tight it will only work if we don't concede goals from set plays. This is a huge weakness we seem to have.

Palace away
Everton home
Plovdiv

3 goals conceded all because we couldn’t win headers in our box.

Green kit has black shorts like Southampton home, itll be the yellow kit id say.

No its the home kit

From official site

Who is the referee and what colours will the teams be playing in?
David Coote will take charge of today’s match.

Southampton will be in their new home kit, featuring primarily red shirts with a diagonal white sash.

Consequently, and perhaps unusually for a visit to St Mary’s, we’ll be in our home kit.

Let’s kill them guys

 

[easley91]

Just don't give away FKs around the box with Ward-Prowse nearby. That's all I ask.

 

[Who’s our next manager?]

This, please don't play Son and Kane together again, they keep trying to be the glory boy and it's to the detriment of the team. Sunday wasn't the first time one hasn't passed to the other and squadered a good opportunity.

Imagine when Bale is with them

 

[JCRD]

I will be optimistic and go for Spurs 6 Saints 2

 

[Who’s our next manager?]

Gives us a few extra hours before Tuesdsy's Carabao Cup 6'o clocker v the O's LOL.

Yep, 6 o’clock not 8 o’clock

 

[Japhet]

I just hope we get after them early and shelve all this low block nonsense. We're not going to build any confidence sitting back and letting all and sundry come at us. Start Ndombele and see how far he can go.

 

[wishkah]

With our new singings im looking at our current crop like meeeh. So excited about the other two my brain can't compute that we have some great players and should be looking forward to them getting into form.

Hoping they all click, and we play well.

 

[H-SF]

Dele not in squad

 

[SpursD22]

According to Daily Mail Alli is not in the squad

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Well he’s off then ...

 

[mark87]

I hope Stuart Armstrong doesn't play, he makes them tick.

[chrissivad]

Ndombele gets a start!

 

[Dzejkob]

Shiiiit Tanguy has really impressed Mou

 

[Tucker]

Chance for Tanguy to make his mark today, he has to take it.
