Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We played really well all over the pitch.

Not sure why I just scrolled through several pages of moaning.

I don't think they can afford him. (The league of course) Maybe he can just retire there but from what I know he never played there in the first place.
That's exactly why I expect he'll finish his career there. He's made a mint and nowhere else is likely to pay him a massively different wage, other than Saudi and possibly China, neither of which I do not think he's interested in.
 
Some really weird takes in here about Sarr and Bentancur not being good enough, can't win and play well without the extremes just like we can't lose and play shit without them....
The whole back line and them is taking way too long to move the ball forward. Sarr and Betancur particularly are not doing enough to move the ball through the middle.

Leicester suck- we shouldn’t be using them as any sort of measure of quality really- they are much worse than our rivals.
 
First game of the season, we're cruising, the scoreline flatters Leicester and everyone's whining.


I missed this place during the close season.
We are absolutely cruising as you say however I can’t help but think that with a level of dominance equivalent to ours in this match that a Man City, Liverpool or Ars*nal would be 2 or 3 up and the game finished. Got to be more clinical
 
Solanke occupying defenders is worth its weight in gold. Don’t underestimate how big of a difference it’s making for Sonny and Madders. The ability to actually control a pass to feet as well.
 
Not seeing the criticisms others are highlighting tbh.

VDV is an absolute Rolls Royce of a player.

I think both Bentancur and Sarr have been fine and contributed well.

Son for me, again, fine. Only dissapointment was there was one point where runners took away defenders and he was primed for a standard Sonny cut in and bend it into the far corner and he tried playing Maddison in instead.

Johnson, yes he miscontrolled it a few times, perhaps in his own head a bit. Only thing that bothered me was him finally showing he’s not as timid as I usually feel when he slid in and tackled Kristensen, had the space the power forward and use his pace, but from his third touch you could see all he wanted to do was turn back toward his own goal, in the end he fell over the ball.

Maddison’s been good, hopefully it’s not just because he’s playing his old team and this is the start of an uptick of form.

Personally I like what I’ve seen from Solanke and can see what he’ll add.

Good half where we’ve suffocated them and dominated. Only downside is it’s only 0-1.
