SuperSAINT Posted 4 August, 2015 Share Posted 4 August, 2015 For some reason unknown to anyone, Spurs are playing 2 friendlies this week before they play at 12:45 on Saturday. Their first friendly was a 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid. They seem a little upset on their forums. I came across this post, and then thought it sounded so similar to our days under MP. ''Giving the ball away again, **** goalkeeping, nice strike. Lots of passing, no penetration or threat. We need more threat up front, poor Kane isolated far too much at times.'' ''Giving the ball away again, **** goalkeeping, nice strike. Lots of passing, no penetration or threat. We need more threat up front, poor Lambo isolated far too much at times.'' Yeah, they've had a right mish-mash of fixtures haven't they? Surprised they've only signed 3 players - They've sold a fair few fringe players & and told Townsend, Adebayor & Lennon they aren't wanted. I saw a very smug Levy interviewed on SSN after they signed Toby saying they'll be much more active late on in the window (which I can't imagine Poch is too happy about) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 4 August, 2015 Share Posted 4 August, 2015 Only caveat being it was Real Madrid. Well, yeah. It's still funny watching them get worked up though. MP has no room for error this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 4 August, 2015 Share Posted 4 August, 2015 Be interesting to see if Kane can keep his form up this season. Only 2 goals in his last 12 games in all competitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 4 August, 2015 Share Posted 4 August, 2015 Well, yeah. It's still funny watching them get worked up though. MP has no room for error this year. Don't buy the 'no room for error' clichés. It's clear that MP has been given the job of cleaning out the stables and rebuilding the side, with a relatively limited budget (at least, compared to predecessors). He'll be judged first and foremost against that standard, not whether Spurs make top 4 next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Bateman Posted 8 August, 2015 Share Posted 8 August, 2015 Morgan vs Toby at 12:45 Come on Morgan! I see Luke is also starting for Man Utd; their team looks pretty strong actually (despite the goalie and Smalling), wouldn't be surprised to see them up or near the top of the league. I expect we'll see a normal Spurs/Pochettino performance of running like mad to close people down, lots of pretty possession football and 1 or 0 goals. I'm going for a boring 1-0 to Man Utd.

Patrick Bateman Posted 8 August, 2015 Share Posted 8 August, 2015 Morgan has been pretty good for them, we'll really miss him. Also pleased for Luke that he's looking more like his Saints form with tackles, running and only one dodgy moment where he put his keeper under pressure. As a side note, Toby okay for Spurs.

Saint_clark Posted 8 August, 2015 Share Posted 8 August, 2015 Spurs suddenly finding a lot of urgency and momentum heading into injury time, sounds familiar. Pochettino teams take it too easy for too long when they're losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austsaint Posted 8 August, 2015 Share Posted 8 August, 2015 The three ex-saints all played well; particularly Morgan and Toby, who are big losses for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSFC Posted 8 August, 2015 Share Posted 8 August, 2015 I didn't think Toby was that good way to many over hit long balls and beaten in the air too often by Rooney, but he was comfortable in possession and made a good run at the end tho. I was more impressed with lovrens first half of the season with us than I was with Toby last year, I do really rate Toby but he is replaceable.

SNSUN Posted 8 August, 2015 Share Posted 8 August, 2015 Spurs fans saying Toby was their best player. He's a top player, fitness problems aside, and a shame we couldn't sort the deal out. Get VvD in though and all is forgiven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 17 August, 2015 Share Posted 17 August, 2015 He's probably not really a defector, but thought this was the only place for these comments from Toby. Is he missing it here already? (ok, minus morgan). "At Southampton, Victor Wanyama and Morgan Schneiderlin put good pressure on so [opponents] didn't have time to put the ball in the box; it makes it easier for defenders," he said."You have to play better because if you don't play football any more then they can put more pressure on you, get more guys in the box, and it's very difficult. "Last season I didn't make one mistake. I want to prove myself here and so it feels bad for me to make a mistake in my first home game. "I just wanted to catch the ball and if I stood behind him [stoke's Joselu] he couldn't do anything. It was stupid of me. Maybe if I didn't give the penalty away it's different."
