Match Threads Spurs vs Southampton - Match Thread

Wise words from Cascarino:

Words very rarely used in the same sentence.

People going on about the ball was out so the game should have stopped, like Winks need to remember that you play to the whistle or the raised flag. Had Winks played to the flag, the foul more than likely would not have happened, as he was in the best place to deal with the ball in the first play. Saying that Aurier second yellow was very soft as Bertram made the most of it. Not excusing him getting a red though as the first one was very stupid as the Southampton player was going no where.

The first yellow was stupid, but still not seen a replay that is anywhere near conclusive to show if the second was even a foul let alone a second yellow. Soft either way, and I hate the Jenas argument on MOTD about giving the ref a decision to make, players always have their hands on each other. When Kane goes down he's a diver, when it's against us, it's giving the ref the options.

You need to read the post that I replied to , a part of it follows.

Just home.... no it didn't take that long to get home, but had to make a detour on way home.. wow what a game today, the ref was bent.... awful - he made the performance from Riley at Burnley last season look brilliant, he was so poor.
The red card for Aurier (what an idiot by the way) the ball was out well i havent seen a replay but from where we was the ball looked out but the players stopped
The lads really did put effort in to see the game out, both harrys were superb, ndombele brilliant too, Sissoko was great at RB and Coco when he came on was great.
Son was poor, as for Eriksen - less said the better, he clearly doesnt want to be here and its showing in his performances, he was awful."


I didn't think Son was poor , in fact he was involved in both goals. Stevepil also complains about Eriksen who again I think did more running than any other player although he was robbed of the ball few times. The problem with criticising Eriksen which is all the rage at the moment is if you question Eriksen being played then fans are questioning the judgement of Poch, if any fans think they can manage Tottenham Hotspur Football Club better than Poch then I suggest they write to Mr D Levy with their footballing credentials.

My apologies buddy I agree with you also Eriksen worked his socks off as did the other 9 players was a great team effort just what we needed. Have a word with the lad who posted about son and Eriksen he obviously wasn’t at the game then because them 2 were great ??????COYS

He is decent at the defending and running but he will not provide anything when it comes to assists from that position.

So in other words, as it stands he’s currently the best RB at our club.

Wise words from Cascarino:

Writing in his column in the Times, Cascarino said, “Lloris is a great shot-stopper, capable of pulling off world-class saves, but has never excelled with his feet. Pochettino should stop asking him to do something he finds so difficult.”

"Finds so difficult" ? In the time Poch has been with spurs Lloris has probably made mistakes with his feet that have goals less than 5 times. That's a lot of matches he has managed to get through doing something that apparently he "finds so difficult".

What absolute bullshit.

 

[Up From Dover]

Who are we going to trust at right back

Foyth who also got a red card and got us into trouble?
Aurier?
KWP (I think is so far mediocre)?
Sanchez? (His positioning even at CB is suspect)
Tanganga?
Sissoko?

Thought Sissoko did a good job at RB on Saturday. Can't see him playing there long term though!

Agree. Complete dive from Bertrand.
