Austin did well I thought considering 4th choice. MOTM Son for me. Sublime 3rd goal. Vintage.
If were coasting v Leicester sunday with 15 to go he needs to be taken off. He needs a rest.
They wereNo point over thinking this one. We werethey were worse. 3 points Sunday now vital.

How did you know Asian milking table was my favourite subreddit
Agreed in principle - but by who ?
And we finished with 5 teen agers as it was, and another sub means giving another debut to a another teenager !
We really were playing the kids!
What an unusual game, thought we were playing Spurs. 
Do it- if needs must then so be it.
Full 90 then.
I don't think people are aware that we are literally missing half a team lol
Problem is if you don't win it back quickly, you will exhaust yourself quickly and expose your defense to multiple 50 yard counter attacks until you finally collapse.
There needs to be some moderation in Ange's press- we're simply not good enough to win points against all the teams we need to by out-pressing them. We just don't have a good enough squad in comparison to the quality of our opponents to do that. In the past, we have accomplished much more going with other approaches like with counter attacking, three at the back, and using CAMs as in-cutting wingers.
He very rarely lets us down, does old Ben
Coasting is not a word commonly associated with Spurs lately

Very underappreciated player. And still a decent enough LB option too- if only we were in a system that permitted him to sit deep as a defensive LB like he has been pretty much his whole career.
We are still far too open.
Delighted we won tonight but we won’t get anywhere long term playing like this.

TO be fair they were organised first half. They are just, like everyone else, fucking tired - but when the other 5 players ahead of them drop off there's no one else. So they get overwhelmed. No one can save them from the mistake that leads to a goal. Look at their second tonight... Kulu watching as they had the extra number for 15 seconds before the ball came in.
Again - I know it's not fashionable to talk about injuries but the most crucial part of any defense - and any team - is the keeper and CB's playing together not just for weeks but years. There is simply no continuity except for the continuous use of Archie Gray in whatever fucking position we need the kid to play.
Personally I'm staggered it took until Everton for the real collapse as the dam wall broke. The back 5 has been a calamity waiting to happen - because the only first choice there is Porro whose weakest area is his organisation and defending.
Having said all that we do also play a style that invites pressure. That's on the manager - not the injuries.
