Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Buzzzzzzing! Gonna be a long day at work.

Can’t beat the hope and excitement of a first game of the season.

3-0.

Solanke, Son and a late Bergvall strike.

Coyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyysssssss
 
We still cant defend and conceded alot of goals. Until we stop that we wont do anything.

The high line is suicidal without VDV in the team. Maybe Solanke can fix things at the other end.

Don’t give the ball away when attacking, and it isn’t an issue. We will hold it up better this season IMO

Still think we need an out and out DM in front of the CB’s tbh
 
So important to get off to a good start. Dont buy into this narrative the match will be easy. Ipswich gave Liverpool a decent game for 45 minutes and created a few decent chances to score, but in the end Liverpool's quality was too much.

First game back in the PL, under the lights, at a minimum Leicester will be up for it. I know there will be a phase in the game were Leicester have a good spell and put us under pressure. As Liverpool did, you need to hold off and not concede in those moments.

Valid concern. Until you realise we only played our first choice back four 17 times last season.

8 of those were in the first ten games of the season. In a row. Which put us top of the table.

Loving all the optimism!

:ange-clap:

Scrappy 2-2 draw.
I'm firmly in the wildly optimistic camp. .

Fuck the naysayers!

If you can't feel optimistic before the first ball has been kicked , then what's the point?

COYS!
 
First game of the season, crowd will be bang up for it and Leicester will be game - up to us to score first and dampen that enthusiasm. Don’t want to give them anything to cling on to.

Don’t particularly rate cooper as a manager and i would expect them to sit off and try and counter.

2-3 - son, Maddison, kulu

COYS
 
I think Sonny is considered one of the best "weak foot" finishers in the league.

In fact, I think he's one of the best over achieving xG finishers. Someone will have the stats I'm sure.

He scores absolute worldies on the regular.

Really don't think it's hyperbolic to say Sonny is one of, if not the best pure finisher in world football. He can do pretty much every finish to a level above his xG and with either foot.

Was discussing Europa squad places in the other thread. Think we can only register one more player and that's assuming we'd leave Ben Davies and Fraser Forster out the Europa squad.

Have to think that means one more signing this summer and that player has to be a ball winner in the middle of the park.
