Southampton Away

Hatch99

Not sure what to expect, the worst week as a Spurs fan in a long time... a performance and a win to lift the spirits would be nice :rolleyes:

Robxxx7

Agree... Thankfully have a Christening tomorrow so can't watch the game

Leinstersqspur

Hard to get myself up for this one, I think I'm still in shock. If Tim Sherwood is the Plan B I'm scared!

Hopefully we nick a win but expectations are low:(:(

Emoran

Have some faith... COYFS!!! 2-0 away win. I'll regret posting this come tomorrow but it beats being pessimistic.

Sugarlumps

Presumably he'll play one up front? But who?

2nd Row Donkey

Not sure how to correctly explain this but if we do happen to lose it might as well be in a way that shows Sherwood isn't up to the job... A flukey win or some sort of moral victory will only paper over the cracks mm if you know what a I mean.

Soldado is a goalscorer if we play the right way , but something tells me the togan will play

Yeah we defiantly need a win to cheer us up a bit after a crappy week,at least our away record is fairly good and Southampton's recent form hasn't been great, I think they have only won one in the last seven games or something so there's hope for us.I would love to see Adebayor and Soldado up front and I think Sherwood might go with that pairing....coys for a 2-1 away win.........

2nd Row Donkey

Ade and Soldado upfront together, would like to see that given a chance.

Sugarlumps

Hoddle is on the panel today, be interesting to hear his opinion on the whole debacle. Lloris looked off key in the West Ham game, he was constantly punching the ball instead of collecting it. Vlad didn't exactly cover himself in glory either.

It looks like Sherwood will be holding on to the managerial reigns, he's only had a few days at the helm, so I'm happy to give him the benefit. No idea what formation or who will line out? Sneaky feeling he'll play two up top.

Hope we keep things at the back tight, Southampton work extremely hard closing down, so no slips ups at the back.

Suppose many will be of sorts happy with Townsend's injury? I'm fairly confident and going for a 2-1 win.

Sadly I can't see anything beyond a Southampton victory today. We are so low in confidence right now and still missing key players in defence. I just can't see us getting anything from the game as they are a very good passing side, especially at home. I'm hoping I'm wrong though.

Leinstersqspur

Think I'll be watching this one from behind the couch with one eye closed.

With Vertonghen & Kaboul out we're gonna be vunerable at the back.

tom1ie

I think Sherwood might go ade and soldado up front and play with two wingers who can stretch the Southampton defence.
Imagine we used to play this brand of football back in the day and tore the likes of Southampton apart. Come on lads I think we should give tim a chance he seems to talk a good fight and harry seems to rate him very highly indeed.
If we win this and win it well we could be onto something.......... jaysus! im not usually this optimistic!:eek:

It is hard to know what to expect. A new manager with new ideas? Who's he gona play. I'm looking forward to the game though. Not even gona have a guess at the score. Just hope for a win. A win and some goals breeds confidence, even if we sneak it. Another lose just keeps the downward spiral going. I want to see Soldado start. Don't think he will start with two up front in this one.

Sugarlumps

Jamie Redknapp is a grade A Cúnt.

Lloris; Walker, Dawson, Chriches, Rose; Lamela, Dembele, Eriksen, Sigurdsson; Adebayor, Soldado, sweet devine.

very very attack minded, it will either be glorious or shambolic.

Sugarlumps

Killer line up.

jobeenfitz

Is Ossie back as manager? I'm suprised but now lookn forward to this game even more. Little worried about defence. There will be plenty of goals in this game today. just hope we get at least one more than them. Come on Lamell and Soldado, show us wot ye got!

White Heart Loon

Loving that lineup, the defense is a little shakey but we are in crisis for defenders

3ships

Looks suspiciously like levy's eleven

Was literally thinking the exact same. Back to the days of 10 up front and klinnsman between the sticks.

Sugarlumps

No Lennon?

Sugarlumps

Ade looks and sounds focused. Looks mean, he's gonna bag one today.

tippspur

I would expect Dawson to do a lot better today with the high line done away with.

Saw on Twitter that he's injured

Fcuk it, €10 on Spurs to win and Soldado to score at 9/2....

COME ON YOU SPURS!!

Jeez, another one bites the dust.

franktheplank

Should be an interesting game. As much as my inner realist says we're gonna get destroyed without a bit of steel in midfield (Capoue ffs) I'm gonna say what the heck, let's do it, crazeee style, 4-1 spurs. COYS

Have Adebayor and Soldado played together much?

Never

Couple of youngsters on the bench. Wouldn't mind seeing Fredericks get a run out on the wing.

Giving away balls already.

White Heart Loon

Team full of strangers

curraghyid

Jaysus , just got back in to watch match, to say I am shocked at this line up is an under statement, this looks like all in by Sherwood.

That_Guy

I love Adam Lallana.

Too Tough To Die

lol, nice goal.

tippspur

They're taking the ball off us with ease,

GavRedKing

Watching an American stream and the co-commentator doesnt know many of the players.

"Great pass by the LB"

"Poor control by the CF"

Leinstersqspur

Forward play is decent but Dawson and Vlad providing acres of space for the saints.

Sherwood said before the game that we won't have to defend if they don't have the ball. Major Lolz

PS. Why is Sherwood in the stands behind Baldini?

Sugarlumps

Lamela's gotta do better there.

White Heart Loon

Not having a defensive midfielder is leaving us badly exposed

2nd Row Donkey

What a joke. You cant a midfield like that in any game nevermind away fom hone when your defense is a shambles and mussing key players.

If ever there was a game for Sandro and Capoue .. This is it. Southampton bossing the middle

Sugarlumps

Get the fock in!!!!!!!!!!!!

White Heart Loon

What a ball, what a goal.

Kiith

Why isn't Sandro playing? I can only assume he's injured, as he really should be on otherwise.

That_Guy

Brilliant stuff.

2nd Row Donkey

Jesus H Christ. What a goal.

What thr f**k do I know.

Lightbulb Sun

That was coming.
