Can only hope Jan starts vs City and we forget all this contract talk stuff. He deserves another deal, I hope poch hasn’t alienated him! He doesn’t deserve that.
Oh I will say - thought Sanchez was great today! Intercepted loads and used his pace to great effect!
What?Fuck Mcginn scottish shame
Nice to see you in here Mr TT, did A@C ban you?Tbf, Tanguy is on another level.
Others will have to raise their game around him.
He can pass on a dime, but no use running straight lines all day or waiting for balls to feet, static.
That's wasting him.
If we can improve our dynamism around the box we can properly utilise his craft.
The guy is immense.
He gone, we have someone as good coming in believe me that Celso will light this team up.Anyone doubting the importance of Eriksen needs their heads checked.
We CANNOT afford to let him go.
Whats that abut the Scot's laddie?Fuck Mcginn scottish shame
About time Sanchez got a decent run in a settled defence again.
Glad to see he done well on the left side too. Usually Poch puts Toby there.
#struggling19th straight defeat for Jack Grealish in premier league football!
Being ahead after the first half is nice tooTottenham have won 37 Premier League games after finding themselves behind at half-time, more than any other side.
So much for weak mentality.
Being ahead after the first half is nice too
Let’s make a bet.....and I mean it.
If he’s brilliant on Saturday I’ll never post again.
If he’s crap, you do the same.
I can guarantee that you would not take that bet.
Telling.
MOTMHow did Son do?
The game changed when he came on but I don't think that is solely down to him. The formation shifted, we started pressing higher and even harder than before, players moved to more natural positions for them and we exploited our chances. I don't think it hurt that Villa finally started to become worn out from the pressure.
Based upon his season last year, I don't know how to feel about Eriksen anymore. He has been so integral to the team and our success, but I can't help but feel that we are both better apart at this point. Lo Celso can hopefully come in and help fill the void, and it is possible that Winks can play more advanced as well.
feel that when we lost Dembele it was more of a significant impact on our quality of play than if we were to lose Eriksen.
We have just signed GIO!Life without Eriksen looking pretty bleak based on that 60min performance I have got to say. We need to find a solution to our playstyle when we don't have a natural playmaker in midfield because that is where we are headed.
Very frustrating to see the amount of standing still we had in that period as well; literally no runs being made off the ball.
Good comeback and typical performance from us in the last year - but it takes the glimmer off the game when we don't look very convincing. Hope we can put in a good performance against City or they will blow us away.
