Probably did him good to get that out of his system..... Think we'll see a more composed performance vs Utd as a result.
Great nickname for the lad. Sonic !
Perfect then, Sonic it is ! and how about Hojbjerg being Knuckles ??Well he did run away from Dr. Eggman.
I like that. Son and Sonic on the left sounds good
Sonic and Knuckles sounds good to me.

The draught from Sonic blew it off.
Exactly what we needed
He is gonna be a gem.
Over enthusiastic mistake aside he looks shit hot.
We've signed an absolute blinder here.
Came here to say this. But damn this kid is a fresh breath of air. Technically there is no flaw. He takes on people, handling and receiving the ball well, passes incredibly well, he makes the team tempo up to at least 2 levels. Maybe its cause he isnt corrupted by fear and mediocrity yet.
Thank God the opportunity to sign him arises and Levy took it. Cause at first there was a lot of news that we weren't looking to sign a LB.
You are right by saying he might left us exposed, and his risk taking has already cost us a goal yesterday. But i certainly prefer us playing like this. Modern days great team seemed to always has a bombing full back.
I really like Davies, and glad that Mou likes him and designed a system that put him on a podium too. But i have to say, so far he has been really disappointing in Mou era. Maybe he just have that underdog mentality. Hope he steps up now that its clear when all things running, Reguilon is going to be the first choice.
We've been operating with one specialist FB/WB(I use the term loosely) since Rose's exile. Sessegnon hasn't had a look-in, and when he has, he's looked ordinary.
After last night Reguilón is first choice. Davies as a stand in for emergencies.
He appears to have hit the ground running rather than the half season we gave Lucas and the interminable time we've given to Ndombele.
Reguilón had no pre-season either, so that excuse is out of the window.
All-action Sergio Reguilon is the rocket fuel this Tottenham team needed
When was the moment you fell in love with Sergio Reguilon last night?
Was it when he hared back into his own half and dispossessed Callum Hudson-Odoi with a perfectly-timed slide-tackle? Perhaps when he set up Erik Lamela’s much-deserved equaliser? Or maybe when he outsprinted the rest of the Spurs players to reach Hugo Lloris first and jump into his captain’s arms after Mason Mount missed the decisive penalty.
Yes, there were the errors in the lead-up to Timo Werner’s goal that put Chelsea ahead, but this was a debut that made Reguilon instantly feel like a cult hero in the making. An all-action, totally committed performance that helped Spurs beat one of their most loathed rivals. When he charged across the pitch to slide in on Fikayo Tomori in the game’s early stages, Jose Mourinho’s assistant Joao Sacramento stood up and clapped, and in the cavernous, empty stadium you could somehow feel the spirit of 60,000 Spurs fans doing likewise.
Even Reguilon’s post-match tweet sounded endearingly authentic. “See you next round!” he wrote with charming imperfection, minutes after he had leapt into Lloris’ arms...
...But a likeable personality means nothing without the skills to back it up on the pitch, and so to Tuesday night when Tottenham supporters were treated to their first glimpse of their new £27.6 million signing.
There are few things more exciting in football than a new signing making their debut. The promise of something different, the sense that with this player everything could somehow, suddenly be alright. It’s that hope, that a single signing can be a panacea, that keeps us glued to our phones and televisions during the transfer window, praying that the full-back you’ve read so much about may actually be joining your club.
In Reguilon’s case, this idea of the promise of something different was the most exciting element of this tie. His predecessor Ben Davies is competence personified, someone who one feels duty-bound to describe as a “wonderful servant”. But replacing him with Reguilon feels like injecting this Spurs team with rocket fuel...
... Reguilon was a constant threat for Spurs against Chelsea. Soon after being caught out for Werner’s goal, he sought to make amends and screeched past Cesar Azpilicueta before putting in a meaty tackle on Tomori just outside the Chelsea penalty area. Soon after, he scampered after Eric Dier’s free kick to get in behind the Chelsea defence once again.
In the second half, Reguilon created Lamela’s equaliser with a cross off his weaker right foot and twice almost equalised — first having a decent effort tipped over the bar by Edouard Mendy and then putting a header wide at the back post. On both occasions he was set up by the other wing-back Serge Aurier, and it brought to mind those halcyon days under Mauricio Pochettino when Kyle Walker and Danny Rose used to tear up and down the flanks in tandem. The idea of Reguilon and fellow summer signing Matt Doherty doing something similar is an intoxicating one for regular Spurs watchers...
... It was a night to let your mind wander — to imagine Reguilon sprinting up and down the left wing for years to come, to picture him scorching past Aaron Wan-Bissaka and setting Kane up for the winner at Old Trafford on Sunday. Tottenham won a penalty shoot-out on Tuesday night, for crying out loud — anything’s possible.
And before you ask, “Isn’t this getting hopelessly carried away on the basis of one good performance?” Absolutely, but that is what love does to you.

None of that rubbish about needing a pre-season.
