[Starks]

Dying for a creative midfielder though.

Can you imagine what people would be saying about Kulu if the Dippers had signed him?

They say Diaz is the signing of the January window. By which fucking metric? Kulu is incredible at 22 years old.

Goals from: WB, CB, WB (caused OG).

Conte.

Oh my god. We win 4-1 and you're just abusing other posters. Jesus Christ.

TBF, he's being trolled.

 

[Macch]

First quadruple sub in PL history!!

You’ll never sing that !

 

[Spaniel]

What a ridiculous yellow card decision.

Must be some kind of record...yellow in your first 30 seconds of playing for a new team.....

I think one of Son’s problems, so to speak, is that when he’s off it, it really shows. His touch and timing is just a little awry and then everything breaks down. He was misplacing passes today, which is evidence of rust.

He’ll be fine in a month or so.

Rather off when it doesn't matter than when it does but we now have Richarlison and he will add the fizz when needed.

Would def. still take one, tho.

Rounds out our options.

Both are really good players with their own strengths, but technique wise, Kulusevski looks on a different level. He has a much better goals/assists record too which isn't just a fluke.

The only metric that really matters for headlines, one plays for the dippers.

 

[Spaniel]

0% chance that’s a yellow in the first 10 minutes. So why is it a yellow now? Can’t be due to persistent fouling as bissouma just came on.

We all know the real reason is the refs make up rules as they go.

I thought the ref had a good game..

 

[Airfixx]

Dominant performance

No bad players today

Kulu & bentancur will go down as one of our best ever windows

Fantastic players

Don Fab afterall?

 

[docomospur]

Risking neg reps here but I though Emerson really came into the game and was quite good after the first 20 minutes.

He also benefitted from Kulusevski running absolutely rampant.

Between Sess and Royal I think it’s clear that a preseason and getting comfortable with Conte’s style has massively benefitted our wingbacks. They look much more confident in what they’re supposed to be doing.

He had a very good game, and I think only those with an entrenched agenda against him would argue otherwise.

 

[KaneDomBadBoy]

Yeah it's probably a big factor of Saints defenders being instructed to double up on the two of them as they (on paper) are our biggest threats. Kulusevski's able to take advantage of that with more freedom on the right.

Almost every time we had the ball in the final third, Kane and/or Son usually had a couple defenders shadowing them at all times. Son had his chances but was just uncharacteristically wasteful in front of goal. Another day he has 2 goals and an assist - he's just rusty. Kane didn't really have any service but he allowed Kulu and our wingbacks more space. I think we sometimes underestimate how focused teams and defenses are on Kane and Son.

Very enjoyable afternoon, just waiting in a very long queue for a drink, so dehydrated!!
But atmosphere in the Shelf bar fantastic, having a great sing-song. Great stuff, very happy

I'm responding to his original post which he aimed at me which had nothing at all to do with Spurs or today's game and is just him being a numpty as usual, numb nuts.

And now you're insulting me? Wow. Maybe just focus on discussing the game and not on the not very inventive insults you appear to be hurling. Ignore it mate. It's easy.

Fairs but easy to ignore.

Aye, and even with all that Kane was still able to pull off some lovely playmaking passing from a little deeper. When we're fully clicking, I don't see how any team is going to be able to live with us.

 

[Spaniel]

Kulusevski my MOTM!

Absolutely love him!

Sess a close 2nd....what a difference...

I mean... we just beat Southampton 4-1 and Son/Kane didn't have a goal

It's on!
