Saints Wednesday 9th February PL (H) 19.45

[Don Diaz]

So post January shenanighans, the departure of the Gang of 4 and Steve N'Hitchen, we face Southampton after a good win against Brighton. Feels to me like a bit of a step change, the feelgood factor and excitement and passion is starting to come back. don tony is infectious isn't he? According to social media he's also told Levy a few home truths - brilliant if it's true, might be bullshit ITK though, either way he's also said that he's got a committed squad, fighting for the shirt and wants to make others fear 'coming to our home'.

Let's see if any of that translates into another great performance on Wednesday night. I liked the look of those two new boys didn't you? especially Bentancur - Hojbjerg might find himself having a rest on Wednesday, hope that Skippy is back too.

I think we win this 3-1 again don't you? hopefully Kyle Walker Peters doesn't score - he's on fire, should never have sold him!! COYS

LEVY OUT!

KWP scores when he wants. It's Ward-Prowse we have to hold in check. No cheap fouls around the box. No bad clearances. If we don't create opportunities for him we'll win. Realistically 3 points is a must for this match. Draw would be a huge blow. Have a hunch were going to regularly win the games we're supposed to going forward. At least 2 for Kane in this one.

 

[Tottenhamlad]

Need a fecking win here and this lot are a high pressing team with a lot of intensity so everybody will need to put a shift in.

Lloris
Doherty Romero Dier Davies Reguilon
Skipp Bentacur
Dejan Kul Kane Son

 

[Yid]

If they employ their high press we will hit them on the counter to devastating effect....

If they change up their game and sit back more they might not be as potent but that might also not give us as much space...

Interesting to see how they line up...

Alternatively we could do as we did against Brighton and inpose our game on them... and fuck them up...!!!

Agreed with Hoijberg maybe not finding a start as forthcoming... and he probably needs a rest anyway... if Bentancur is the Box to box player we need then Skipp, Hoijberg and the new lad won't all be starting all the time. Hope it doesn't affect Skipps development though as I rate the kid.

COYS.

 

[Don Diaz]

Think I'd like
Lloris
Royal, Romero, Dier, Sanchez, Reguilon
Bentancur Skipp
Lucas, Son
Kane

 

[spurious]

I'm hearing both Skipp and Dier are unavailable, so we're likely to see the same 3-4-3 that started against Brighton. But I'd be happy with Betancur on for Hojbjerg.

Or Hojbjerg and Bentancur and bench Winks, and Kulu instead of Moura?

 

[BrooklynYid]

Have to go with Son, Kane and Moura up top. Kulusevski can come on in the 2nd half, but I'm not ready to bench Moura for him just yet. I am ready to sit Hojbjerg. Happy to play Bentancur next to Winks and see how it goes. Saints aren't exactly an attacking threat, so we shouldn't get overrun. Win is an absolute must.

Need to keep an eye on Broja

 

[USspur]

lets fucking smash them from the first whistle

 

[Yid]

lets fucking smash them from the first whistle

Do what we did against Brighton and they have no chance.

 

[Havocc]

Under the cosh a bit this half…..

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

This is a fucking shambles. We could easily be 4-1 down.

 

[Dorset]

What a pile of shite. I'm getting really bored with watching us let Southampton have a passing and shooting practice session. Conte needs to have s fucking word at half time.

 

[Tottenhamlad]

The gap between defence and midfield at times is gigantic what the fuck is going on?

 

[BrooklynYid]

We are getting our asses handed to us. They should be wrecking us. At least two changes needed, one of those being attitude. WTF?

 

[Yid]

Our midfield is non existent...

We are under the cosh because no cunt can hold the ball for more than half a second.

Very very lucky to be going in honours shared at half time.

Sanchez is not a footballer... Hoijberg is dead on his feet...
They all look leggy as fuck...

Hairdryers fucking launched please, system change please to retain the ball and transition from defending like fuck to an actual attack at the oposotions goal please.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Put Harry Kane in their team and they are 5-1 up.

 

[BrooklynYid]

And Conte's haircut is terrible.

 

[Yid]

You can tell how shit our midfield is because Kane is dropping deeper and fucking deeper...

He wants to get on the ball and affect play... when you're starved of the ball or any real service you go looking...

 

[BrooklynYid]

Harry missed a sitter there. Makes up for their misses.

 

[Yid]

Sanchez is not a footballer...

 

[Yid]

Sanchez is not a footballer...

 

[Tottenhamlad]

Sanchez wtf

 

[Tottenhamlad]

Thank fuck for that SONNY!!

 

[Yid]

Thank fuck for that...

 

[BrooklynYid]

Sanchez is back to his old self.

 

[Tottenhamlad]

Bentacur showing his class and they better not be disallowed he was backing in again!!

 

[Tottenhamlad]

Hope Sanchez doesn’t get fucking sent off

 

[BrooklynYid]

That was a much harder finish than it looked. Wow.
