Southampton Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[bubble07]

Poch said Toby only missed Burnley as a precaution and he'd be fit for today. If he's not properly fit why take this kind of stance? Not gonna lie feels kinda dishonest.

I'm ok with him telling a few white lies if it keeps our opponents on their toes

Toby had a virus apparently.

Not for me Clive.

That knee is fucked.

Find it interesting that Dier > Wimmer.

Dier's not been convincing in the back line, but then I guess perhaps he's been steadier than Wimmer's cameo performances. Thought Wimmer had enough quality about him to push for an occasional start in Toby's absence. Guess Wimmer may see some light in the cup games.

Sissoko starting is also interesting - especially as he started showing a bit of form in the Burnley game (though was poor in patches too)

Disagree. We're never gonna play with 2 left footed CB's in our system.

Left vs right - we'd only know if verts rather than toby was injured who was rated higher (I'd assume swimmer would play then)

Dier RCB Wimmer LCB, so makes sense that Dier comes when Toby is out.

I don't understand why Winks isn't getting a run in the team. It's infuriating.

 

[Francis Gibbs]

Very disappointing re Toby Sissoko deserves his start

 

[elDiablo]

Looking forward to seeing boufal play as a few peeps here were desperate for him.

If they stop our full backs the will most likely stop us.

 

[nedley]

COYS!!!

Would love a mega game from us.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Winks come on in the second half. Probably change the game and all that jazz.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Strange team selection, IMO.

You think Wimmer will slot in if Jan's out again, as he did last term?

Perhaps he will, but against the weaker (lower half) teams

Or moved back into midfield.

 

[chinaman]

Toby's obviously got a career ending mystery injury of death. It's standard. Spurs meets 2016, he'll be lucky to live to new years eve.

Downed by a virus.

 

[chrissivad]

yeah, as both Dier and CCV are RCB's and i would have Wimmer over Davies (who could also cover Verts) at CB

 

[stevensthfc]

1-1

 

[zoneD]

...Sissoko and Dembele both start as expected and deserved...
COYS

 

[Romulus]

this is gonna be a stressful game

 

[Cravenspurs]

Not going to be able to watch the game so will keep of the boards until I see a replay, but please lord that I do not believe in, make the midfield tick!!
