Match Southampton vs Tottenham: Sunday 15th Dec Premier League 19:00

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We’re all managers on this forum but, and a huge BUT, Angie s with these chaps all the time should know more than most, meaning strengths and weaknesses. Kind of like knowing your wife, so maybe his strange fear of changes is only because he knows. We’ve had managers that knew and were outspoken, Conte, for example. I fear but hold on to the fact that we are SPURS.
 
Great result and excellent performance . Managed the second half very well and to keep a clean sheet is a big positive .

Even Liverpool had to work very hard to beat this lot recently !

Madisson was very good but got to mention Djed Spence . Thought he had a great game which started very early with his lovely assist for the opener . Always available and the first one to chase back when the ball was lost . Definitely deserves a run in the side now and very handy he can play on either side .

Thank you Spurs for ending the weekend on a high , cheers all
 
Fact. Porro gets cut slack because of his ball striking I think he is playing in the wrong position. He is a terrible defender utter gash.
Yeah he's awful defensively. No two ways about it.

2 goals, 2 assists, 1 big chance created...his attacking skills are overrated. I've honestly never been impressed by his offensive game.

Not a 42mil player and if Spurs really were genuine about winning, he wouldn't start.
 
He did a lot better than I expected in a full PL game. Not east for him.

I think he needs a PL loan next season where he can play a lot of games. Will do him the world of good. Then he’ll be ready to start for us the following season.

Depends on what predicament we can loan him into...... In a bottom five team he'll just get stuck as a back-up and tactically be looked upon as one of 3 proxy DMs.

If we have EL again; I'd keep him here.
 
Neil Warnock? Cunt of the highest order.

Conte? Never wanted the club signing...and a bit of a cunt.

Rennes? Don't think he had issues with whoever their coach was.

Leeds? Think there were noises, but he wasn't the only one not happy over there.

Genoa? Wanted to buy him.

Ange? Two-faced backstabbing turncoat, I don't trust a single word coming out his gob.

Steve Cooper? Loved the kid.

50-50 really.
Didn’t Genoa offer an absolutely miniscule amount?

I dunno. Occam’s razor and all that. Managers are not going to freeze out a good player just for the sake of it. He’s obviously a bit of a challenge.
 
I have been worried about him though to be fair Bergvall has looked a lot better in the last couple of matches. Thought he did well tonight but did tire. Still adjusting to the prem but some good signs
I wanna see him take risks, I wanna see that running + creating + shooting he showed in Sweden. He looks stifled with us. A lot of passing sideways + backwards. Think that's on the man in the dugout.

I really think people need to mindful of simply repeating the kind of BS Spence has had over and over. If we'd said to Genoa 5m they take him. Farke people have notoriously fallen out with.Warnock is a cretin, Conte was definitely sticking it to Levy. Djed Spence is perfectly capable of playing EPL football if he has issues we don't know about the club need to be transparent. If not the coach looks ridiculous.
 
Then he'd get slaughtered for throwing Spence under the bus.

You can't want player discipline to be kept behind closed doors, then complain that we're not told why he's being disciplined.

That's a general 'you' btw, not directed at you personally.
I understand that- still- to give someone with a supposed attitude issue a contract extension so recently? It's just really bizarre, and I think you would have to agree on that. Somehow he has been frozen out of THFC for the better part of 3 seasons, has a known attitude issue, but then we decide to extend his contract? How does he simultaneously have an attitude issue and not even be worth 10m to Genoa (almost a worthless contract), and then suddenly, while he's been completely on the outskirts of the squad, become worthy of an extension? It's utterly bizarre.

I believe it was said that they offered 7m this summer but that Levy rejected it, and the clubs couldn't come to an agreement.

So all we know is Genoa offered 7m and Spurs thought it was too low.
 
No Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Guglielmo Vicario, Ben Davies, Richarlison, Wilson Odobert and Mikey Moore.

9 players unavailable

And a 5-0 win.....

Starting 2 x 18 year olds and only 4 regular first team players.

Astonish result from players and manager,

Worth saying we are 2nd highest scorers in the league and have conceded the 2nd lowest number of goals ! Maybe we've been unlucky in a couple of matches not to pick up more points....... and only 5 points off 4th place.

Spot on.

The southies were atrocious, but hey...you can only beat what's in front of you. And God did we need that win.

Big Dom the main negative for me. We just don't utilise him offensively, it's crazy...bet he's frustrated the way things are going for him, especially tonight seen how many we scored. He was a ghost throughout.

Also gave Soton a few too many chances but was to be expected, especially up 5 at the half.

Djed and Archie done ace. Mads scored two great ones. Sonny back on the scoresheet. Pape with a goal Fat Frank woulda been proud of. Alfie got his debut, Will a few mins.
