Spurs Vs. Stoke (Home) - Kick off Sunday 1:30 PM

[John Thomas]

First "home match", wembley aside, since September. Got to be honest, I was expecting the worst for some reason, but fair play, the lads did us proud with that first half. Second half was always gonna be a bit of an anti climax. I would put that flat (ish) atmosphere down to 4 things. Our poor form of late, Sunday lunch time, the fact it was Stoke, and because it was such a stroll in the park. Obvious MoM Kane. Dele seemed to be pulling out of one or two tackles he would usually have gone in for.And before anyone mentions it, yes, it does look like a new stadium next door. Finally, nice to see the Yid chants given to crouch down in the corner. And a good ovation when he was subbed.

 

[Smoked Salmon]

I see Jayc1 is in the thread moaning that everything's not good enough yet again. Fucking hell. That first half display was scintillating. Another hattrick for Kane.....and yet he immediately looks for what he thinks isn't good enough to advance another whine.

This guy is a Gooner troll. No question. I'm sick of reading his negative diatribe after every result, not matter how good or bad the game is. He's no Lilywhite. If we won the FA Cup the first thing he'd do is moan that we didn't win it 20-0 and that it should've been the Champion's League Final.

Tedious cunt.

 

[SchmoodSpur2013]

This was the perfect start to our run of 9 winnable games. Convincing, controlled and shook off all the demons from Thursday with God being God and Dele getting the monkey off his back.

We're 2nd. Good day.

 

[Boltonspur]

Strange that you decided to call me out as I had no issues with the team selection, didn't post in this thread because I was at the game. It's a shame you couldn't meet me there.

Would happily meet any forum friend. Any time. Ask Nutter-Naylor

But you won't.

I'm sure you are crying in your lemonade now. The only time you get a semi on is when we are losing & you can revert to being a supporter of a second rate Italian side

 

[existenzrippchen]

Alli and Dier fully deserve a rest. Can stay at the training ground and have a game of FIFA, but I don't want to see them on Sunday.

 

[SausageVince]

Think he'll go with a more physical centre midfield - our recent wins against them have come from dominating Imbula by out muscling him, I don't think that's Winks' game.

Fair point. I'd still like to see more of Winks. I'm hoping the run in of this season will be his break through.

 

[cretinousgoat]

Seriously even Palacios wasn't this poor on the ball like Wanyama.

Some conference level passing ability there

Hahahahahaha eat my ass, bitchface

 

[Fat Abbot]

Harry Kane is now tied topscorer

Christian Eriksen is alone in top of assists.

 

[Tomo]

If we can just get Adam sent off it will be an afternoon done.

 

[SchmoodSpur2013]

343 is such a pointless formation can't wait us to revert back to a more balanced 4231/4141

You always have your finger on the pulse.

 

[Mick Cooper]

In a must win game of two halves I have serious relegation fears that a hat trick by our flat track bully and Real Madrid want away midfielder won't be enough
The manager has shown his inexperience of European football by only setting us up to be 4 up by half time, where we are showing no sign of a plan B.. Signing Sissoko is the problem and we should sack Levy.
We ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!

 

[Furball man]

Crouch goes off to resume his job as a crane at the building site

 

[CJJ]

Shocking treatment from Poch on Janssen

Utter bullshit

Why is it shocking?

It didn't help Soldado being constantly brought on for 5 mins then people saying "He didn't score for yet another game".

Cruel to be kind. Why drag him out onto a 11 men behind the ball cameo?

 

[tug]

I don't give a damn about no Vincent Janssen. I care about tottenham not whether Poch has a heart and gives a nothing player (apparently a striker)10 or so minutes to finally score a goal from open play.

If anything happens to Kane which we all worry about, wouldnt it be nice to have a confident Vince in reserve. Ideal chance to build on his confidence here by giving him 45 mins. You can build him up as much as you can in training, but real confidence comes by playing and getting minutes under your belt and feeling part if the team. Just my opinion, but yes most important thing is 3 more pts COYS

 

[Fattynomates]

Couldn't catch the game unfortunately, too busy.

The score line doesn't say anything. I said last night that Kane/Alli are our only scorers and that if they're not on fire you're going to get caught out. Luckily they were.

You really are a cretin of a cunt! Only a cunt such as you could put a negative on a great performance! Fuck off wanker! See you n xt time we don't win........

 

[Fattynomates]

Whether people like it or not or want to accept it or not the variety of goals and goal scorers in our team has dropped.

2015-16
Kane - 28
Lamela - 11
Dele - 10
Eriksen - 8
Son - 8
Chadli - 7
Toby - 4
Dier - 4
Dembele - 4
Carrol - 3

Total top 10 = 87

2016-17
Kane - 19
Dele - 13
Son - 11
Eriksen - 8
Janssen - 4
Wanyama - 3
Rose - 2
Lamela - 2
Winks - 1
Davies - 1

Total top 10 = 64

The fact Janssen is in our top 5 scorers, followed by Wanyama, says everything imo. Toby has 1 vs 4, Dier has 0 vs 4, Dembele has 0 vs 4. Far less variety in our goals than last year and Kane scoring a hat trick and Dele chipping in today doesn't change that.

Happy with the result, but we need more goal scorers in our team. Some teams will triple or double mark Kane and Alli out of games and at that point we don't tend to score at all.

Yet we are 2nd with the 2nd best goal difference......

 

[Glass Half Full]

Even after a 4-0 win, some people will always find something to moan about won't they?

Anyway, sort it out Harry FFs, don't you know the third ones meant to be a header?

ochfacepalm::eriksenlol:

 

[GaulPascoigne]

Spurs win 4-0
Harry Kane hat tick
90 minutes page 23......
Spurs vs Millwall in 14 days time already passed 25 pages.........

To be fair this thread would've been a lot longer if illiterate Stoke fans had started posted giving it the big one

 

[Johnboy40]

In fact compare the league goals of the other teams top 5 scoerers and you'll find that our top 5 scorers have scored 43 league goals (Kane, Dele, Eriksen, son, Wanyama)
City 27 ( aguero,Sterling ineacho, Nolito, toure)
Woolwich 41 (Sanchez, Walcott, giroud, Ozil, iwobi)
Liverpool 37( mane, coutihno, firmino, lallana, Milner)
Chelsea 42 (Costa, hazard, Pedro, Alonso, Willian)

We have been missing Lamela and if he would have scored 4 more league goals by this time we would be exceeding and have 55 goals in all, the same goals for as Chelsea. We have scored 1 less than Man City and 4 less than Woolwich & Liverpool.
Especially when we you realise have also been missing Kane and Alderweird for a large chunk.
Milners goals have all been from penalties too.
We could do with more goals from CM. Dembele, winks, etc. However, apart from Liverpool, who have Winjaldum and origi chipping in, all teams have their ritual scorers.

so, in summary, in his opinion, we picked the wrong team, but had won the game by half time, are too reliant on a couple of players, but only if you dont compare to anyone else and ignore our injuries, and our spread of goals isnt enough and we havn't scored enough times, but only if you compare 2/3rds of this season to all of last

I dont think Merson is gonna be sweating over his future at Sky

 

[gaz]

another great win, another great hat-trick.

keep the media quiet for a bit , sadly not the plums on here.
