carmine Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Just really impressive all round. Good win, great team performance. Everyone working for one another. What has happened to Sissoko, he's gone from the most useless flop to a complete beast!! Dele's finishing superb and a wonderful piece of vision from Kane. Nice to see Trippier back although he was given a tough start from Iwobi. One thing for sure, if Lloris gets injured we have no need for any concern because our young Argentine is the real deal. And no gloating Instagram selfies after the win. Unai Emery really needs to stamp out that Arsenal team trait. Another tough one up next, Everton away. And i just knew we'd get drawn against Chelsea in the cup. City have now drawn the mighty Schalke and last night the legendary...i can't remember who they are!!!

I'd say yes, certainly more reliable. Hugo's always got a clanger in him and tends to save them for the big games. Gazza's basically bloody good all round.

3 minus 2 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 decnt performance and the result i'm thinkin we should of had in the prev game if our MAD prev week ie inter and the chavs hadnt drained us, sissoko is just a monster and continues to impress , gazza despite his one flapp at a back pass looks sound and his spot and quick accurate ball to erickson made the second , and ,, wot a finish,!!!! class. thought kane looked sharp when he came on and luved the way he battered a couple of theirs after they went 4 ali , u mess with my boys u mess with me, stuff of capt fantastic !!! winks , sori atm miss's the mark, as does rose his defensive game has improved slightly but it still aint that good and 4 some reason he aint as effective goin forward as b4,, slight loss of pace? levy should have taken less then the reported HUGE money asked for him in the summer davies and toby look balanced and looks like poch could well stick with them as the preferred pairing not a abad shout always good to beat the arsewipes so next up a the chavs ,, this has not been an easy route for us,watford west ham arsenal,, now the chavs ,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmine Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Theres no chance that Davies will be preferred over a fit Jan Vertonghen! btw, a big thumbs up to Poch for rotating kane, on the bench and not brought on till the 60th. I bet Unai Emery wasn't expecting that. (Or Pep Guardiola for that matter????) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane missed training Tuesday due to a cold, so this may have been forced upon Poch, either way he could have done with a rest. Son & Dele were fantastic last night, really showed their class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also believe he was voted player of the season last summer by fans. Either way, Toby and Jan are Poch's first choice without a shadow of doubt. However i'm delighted to see davies as a very , well, thus far competent stand in. Thats goes a long way to solving one of our biggest squad weaknesses.

carmine Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Interesting reading comments from our players about the pathetic reactions of Arsenal players after their win eighteen days ago. The gloating dressing room selfies, the truly pathetic commentary of their goals by their strikers. I'm wondering if Unai Emery is going to step in or has done already because he'd be a fool not to. Basically, they did Pochettino's team talk for him. Those eleven Spurs players were just not going to let Arsenal beat them on wednesday night. Karma. What is it about the Arsenal team because i can't think of any other side in the league that are such classless winners?

carmine Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Just been reading that we play our 4 christmas fixtures over 10 days. City and Liverpool play theirs over 14 and 13 days. fair play to them but how can this be fair? In conclusion they are getting over 100 more recovery hours than Spurs. Total crap!

I often wonder what you are actually seeing when you watch Spurs play !!!! you say BUT verity fucs up often enuf to place a little doubt but you can only name one instance and to be fair that was his first game back after a long injury. Then you say for a couple of seasons ari played him at lb for us, i don't know what your seeing because A. he never even played under Arri B. he has never played under any Spurs manager for a couple seasons at left back. So when he plays with other's cb's he regularly gets turned but with Toby he doesn't ???? ???? and while we are on the subject of only playing well with Toby, he only played a few games with Toby last season but that didn't stop him getting in the PFA team of the season and Spurs player of the season award so when you talk about its there in front of your eyes, its v simple and aint dificult to see i think it's you who needs to open his eyes because your seeing something completely different to everyone else. An extract from a football website, obviously someone else who doesn't open his eyes. join the other players on this list on the PFA Team of the Year. When Toby Alderweireld went down with a serious hamstring injury in the first match against Real Madrid, Jan stepped up out of the shadows to lead the back line, forming an important and solid partnership with a young Davinson Sanchez playing his first season of Premier League football. By all accounts the defense should’ve been worse than what it was, and that’s due to Vertonghen’s ability and influence. The Premier League isn’t great when it comes to defensive statistics, but Vertonghen led the team in tackles, interceptions, and clearances. His defensive positioning helped cut out numerous dangerous possessions, and he was a steady presence with the ball at his feet, leading the team (according to WhoScored) in both overall passes and accurate short passes (AccSP). While he doesn’t have the long passing ability of Alderweireld, Vertonghen wasn’t afraid to move forward with the ball into midfield to disrupt play, and was rarely caught out of position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already gave my opinion on Vertonghen when i said he'd been our best Centre back over the last few season or perhaps that was something you didn't see. So i am looking for a confrontation of sorts just because i pull your Post to pieces which to be fair is not difficult, i mean when you come out with things such as Verts played played left back under Harry for 2 seasons, did you actually see this or is it just your imagination especially when Harry had left before we even signed him so what do you expect ?

carmine Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I really don't understand anyone that should be remotely critical of Vertonghen. He's been outstanding for us, a terrific center back and a leader on the pitch and in the dressing room. The fact that he's a terrific left back is just a string to his bow as it were but how anyone can give him anything other than total praise during his stint for the club is beyond me. He's been a marvelous buy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sotsira Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 All this media talk about Poch leaving for Utd at the end of the season is testament of how well Levy and Poch together with his backroom staff have done since his appointment. This photo was taken 2 days ago at the Spurs Xmas dinner and posted on the official Tottenham Twitter feed. Many remarks are saying that Levy is laughing at Utd... Ho Ho Ho! Additionally Micky Hazard is telling Tottenham fans to boycott The Times newspaper (described it as toilet paper) due to the continual fake reports stating that Poch will go to Utd etc.. etc.. SkySports also seem to have an agenda especially with Gary Neville and even Carragher (which surprises me as a Liverpool fan) continually reporting there 2pence worth backing Poch to leave for Utd. Either way, my take is that even if Poch decides he would want to leave and Levy would succumb to his request (this all being hypothetical by the way) How much compensation would Levy demand in the event that his 4 1/2 yr contracted manager would be sold to Utd? I don't think it would be just the value of his remaining wages of £40M odd. It would be the same as Utd tapping up one of our top players like Kane or Dele on long contracts their value wouldn't be calculated on their remaining wages now would it? Just some food for thought on the matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry sots, he's going nowhere in the near distant future but that won't stop the usual muppets on here and in the press continually linking him with Utd. A. I'm quite certain he feels his job is not complete at Tottenham B. He's perfectly happy at Spurs C. If he went to Utd it would take him another 2 or 3 years to get the players to the level he would want D. Unlikely that Utd will be in the CL next season E. He is still young so plenty of time to go to another club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that in mind, you can say that we're nearing the half way mark of the project at the end of this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
