Tottenham Hotspur v Southampton (6th Aug) (3pm)

[RocketRonny]

There’s 5 subs. Calm down. The season hasn’t even started.

32 minutes before the season starts and it's already "serious relegation fears", 32 minutes after the match and this board will have "winning the title 2022/3 chances and odds"

Emerson and Sess. Just fucking kill me now.

 

[Billy Bob mate]

Excitement for the new season lasted ages for some on here it seems!

#COYS!!

 

[Cranston]

I’m a fan of him but this is a make or break year. No more injuries and no more inconsistent performances. He needs to earn his spot now or he’s gone this next summer.

Don’t get me wrong. I’ll fully back him, like all our players.

But I want to see aggression. I want to see him pin the opposition back. He has one of the most important positions in a Conte team; needs to deliver.

Emerson and Sess. Just fucking kill me now.

Get Peresic and Spence on when the game is stretched , if needed

Emerson and Sess. Just fucking kill me now.

Deal with it and support the lads

 

[Jenny Talia]

Why bench Perisic?

Chelsea next week.

Yep.. We're on the brink of signing another young LB..... Make or break season for Sess now.

 

[Fireweed]

Bench looks stacked.

Less than 30 minutes to go and another season's up and running!

 

[Macch]

Emerson and Sess. Just fucking kill me now.

We are officially back baby!!!

Conte said he was concerned about Doc and Ivan's fitness.
Chelsea away next week.

 

[moo]

Royal gonna prove why there was no need for a new RB.
COYYYYYYYS

I my head, Conte has said
lads you got top 4 last season, so you start
but if I see anything but 8 out of 10 I’ll fucking replace you in a heartbeat.
to the subs - you’ll get your chance, but if not 8 out of 10 you won’t start next game.
he will end with. ‘I will do this to your head if you fuck this up’

 

[dustybin]

Was confident last week but could see this being a bit of a struggle. The weather, too many players in the team who are quick taking the easy/backwards pass and not too much 1v1 ability in midfield and wingback. Maybe won from the bench If the front three are not on it from the start

Yep , and that’s why players want to play for this guy . He’s been a god send!

 

[Luxy208]

Happy season everyone.

Come on you Spurs

Agree. Conte also generally seems to be more mindful of injury risks. Unlike Poch, Mou etc. he realises that a player getting injured after coming back too soon is far more damaging than losing that one game.

 

[Jenny Talia]

Nervous now, we are not good at being the favourites.

 

[Spaniel]

I'm okay with everything bar starting fucking Royal again, that's depressing.

I'm not thrilled about Hedgehog either. But I trust AC.....
