Good morning ladies and here then are the much anticipated player gyratings.
Walking out of a game, the single most important thing is that we won and it doesn’t matter how.
After the event, here amongst the grown ups, we can look at what actually occurred and seek to gain insight from the analysis.
The first forty-five minutes said more about Saints being a a bit vague in every department than it did about Spurs having a post Kane ‘Plan B’.
The second forty-five minutes was a re-run of ‘Pochettino: The Stubborn One’ which ironically premiered in Southampton a few years ago.
We may not have had a ‘Plan B’, but the good news was that by God we had copious amounts ‘Plan A’.
Look, let’s cut to the chase here. I’ve got a problem with us buying a striker and nobody questioning why he’s a reject, before ehe’s been given a fair go.
I dont believe for a moment that Vinny was a Poch buy. Even with the biggest obstacle out of the way, the guy is treated with contempt and given scraps.
Dele Alli remains an annoying tit of gunt churning proportions. Cheated a penalty, scored from it but otherwise did naff all, but stayed on for at least 50 minutes too many.
Son did his usual flakey routine yet managed to survive until the 75th minute.
HUGO‘s kicking is now reliably questionable, and this was another substandard showing.
BONZO apparently not match fit. It showed. Like an irritating child’s toy with a flat battery.
VERTS was subdued, far too subdued.
DAVIES playing as a wingback, really? Pity he can’t cross. Otherwise a masterplan.
TOBY provided a nice assist. Unfortunately it was for the wrong team.
DIER was the quintessential ‘hit and miss’. Jack, find one trade and master it before one of us dies, mate.
WANYAMA was also poor. Despite being the guy we build the team around he wasn’t good enough either.
WINKS unimpressed with the gangster routine. Lose it, sweet cheeks.
MOUSA snapped up the BBC’s MOTM award and I have no clue as to why. Very average.
ERIKSEN‘s goal was bloody lovely. More please.
DELE‘s claims to fame included CHEATING a penalty and then petulantly screaming at Janssen for taking a great shot at goal.
SONambulist.
We need to make it through this Kane-less patch and to date we have.
Fingers crossed we don’t have to play anyone good anytime soon.
