I bet hoddle knows more than you guys.

Mason is not good enough. Never seen what all the fuss is about? Bang average.

 

[maltahotspur]

Celax guts and gals........the longer the game goes on, the better we'll become. 2-0 for us. COYS

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

How is Ade still out there, ffs

 

[DaSpurs]

William! Holy shit! I thought you've been dead for hundreds of years!

Knew this nerdy broad in college who would flip her shit if you ever insinuated he was dead

Fuckin weird broad, decent on the eyes though

 

[alfie103]

Than Mason?! Surely thou doth jest.

Completed sideways passing rates does not a top passer one make.

Thine Jests, good sir.

 

[The Spurs Lad]

How many touches has Ade actually had? When can we just be done with him, waste of space.

 

[npearl4spurs]

COYS!!

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Disappointingly but sad to say, predictably, attitude isnt right so far tonight. Walker is showboating too much and players all wanna play at their own pace with too many touches. Sheff u have been on a roll in the cup and deserved more respect. Davies looking like the player back in September, weak and lacking confidence. Ade has the touch of harold shipman tonight

Not a great comparison. Shipman knew how and where to strike.

huh huh huh, I am Scougall, I need teepee for my bumhole

 

[Mr Pink]

Lennon please, if this keeps up.

 

[yankspurs]

Poch gives Ade wayyy too much backing for my liking. Unfortunately, I can see him playing Ade for good now. Embarrasing.

Kane aside....

When Soldado plays, I end up wishing we had Adebayor in his place

I remember this with Crouch, Defoe, and Pav a few seasons ago. All were dire whenever they played and you'd wish a different one was playing instead. At least we have one competent striker now.

Happens far too often.

 

[Gbspurs]

I don't think it was that bad. They are well up for it and defending well.

Problem we are having is both Ade and Kane's natural instincts are to drop deep which Utd are loving. You can see why Poch wants Rodriguez.

Lets see if they can keep their discipline for the whole of this half, I still reckon we will win 3-0. COYS

 

[lol]

no ade in recent weeks = better football. ade back = back to trash. not exactly rocket science

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Bobby to come on soon... Ade off please if so.

To take your comment seriously, I do agree that loads of Mason's (& Bentaleb's) average performances are on the level of squad players, not first choice players for a top 6 team.

 

[DaSpurs]

Thine Jests, good sir.

Nay. The numbers, and a decent set of eyes, suggests it's not even close.

Mason passes forward 3/2 as many times as Dembele, creates twice as many chances and key passes, and averages almost a full 4 meters further with 10 more passes per game. It's a laughable suggestion to insinuate Dembele is a better passer than Mason, and there's a very good reason Poch has dropped him for Mason in the first team sheet considering forward passing is the very crutch of his entire system.

I agree, Mason is a good player and will actually look to pass the ball forward.
