OMT - 22.12.13 - 13:30 -Tottenham VS Southampton @ St, Mary's

Good performance. Were helped by Southampton being horrible defensively (one of the reasons I never wanted Pochettino, incidentally: he had similar problems at Espanyol) but we needed to take advantage of those errors and we did. Good to see passes going into the box, crosses going into the six-yard area and cut-backs going to the penalty spot, all indicative of movement and purpose (a sea change from shooting from 40 yards every single damn time), and delighted for Temporary Tim, Ade and young Bentaleb, who wasn't bad, all things considered. Props must go to Walker (he was magnificent) and Soldado for persevering despite his horrendous luck and plain bad finishing.

Great result, great day, three goals from open play. GET. IN.

Bentalab is much better then Carroll! Knee jerk maybe

I don't think it's knee jerk (and i rate Carroll). Bentaleb was pretty damn awesome...did you see his positional sense when we were not in possession? so calm man and when he did have possession? utterly awesome.

 

[Bonsaiboy]

Great win. Completely justifies the decision to dispense with AVB.

 

[Yiddo]

Dawson was outstanding in the air today.

 

[Hootnow]

Also Bentaleb? He looked like he'd been playing for years

 

[diego_maradona]

Really really enjoyed that. I thought we completely outplayed them.

Happy for Ade. I don't know what happened but I feel really pleased for him

 

[Yiddo]

Ade basically saying he needs an arm around him to get the best out of him.

 

[richie_spur]

You lot are missing the point - although we got the win, which was nice enough, we lost the possession battle 57%-43% and that's what really matters... 8-[

 

[Kingdawson]

Ade was not even included in the pictures at the start of the season

That was a class interview by Ade btw.

 

[suffolkspur]

Who'd have thought it, temporary tim and adebayor, the saviours of the mighty spurs. (might be getting carried away 8-[)

Suprised to see Bentaleb come on, he looked really good.

Great win, hope we can keep it up.

 

[Yiddo]

Also Eriksen was outstanding aswell. Done all the dirty work.

@Squawka: RT @liam_tomkins: This will definitely be going into Chris Foy's match report.

I saw the celebration but didnt see Foys face

Man that has cracked me up seriously - Foys reaction is just unreal

Foy was not amused was he :ross:

Haha Tim

 

[RomanzoCriminale]

You are a disgrace.

Call yourself a Spurs supporter.

Just because you nailed your ******** to the wrong manager in the first place.

I am sure you can go and support the next club All Very Boring (and totally clueless) goes on to manage, because comments like that means you are NOT a supporter of Tottenham Hotspur

I don't know why anyone rises to this fool, its either lies or negativity.... sad and pathetic really.

 

[charlietheyid]

Dawson was outstanding in the air today.

What a championship player he'd make hey!

Lol, I was absolutely cracking up when I saw that live. The look on Foy's face...

 

[Robspur12]

Great win. Completely justifies the decision to dispense with AVB.

Personally I did not think the decision to get rid of AVB needed any justification. Careful not to style Tim as the messaih after one game. Anyway he will have to complete his pro licence if he wants the job for more than 12 weeks I believe.

 

[Modric THFC]

First time we've beaten a top 10 side this season!
Only the second team to go to Southampton and win.

 

[indospurs]

Who the hell is this Bentaleb ?? Where did he come from ? I tell ya, Tim knows this club inside and out and that could put us in very good stead. Great result for the team, when'sthe next game ? Coming thick and fast, now's the time to rotate, rotate, rotate

 

[ArnieArdiles]

Well played Sherwood's Spurs so much better than Wednesday and really we should've put the game to bed after going 3-2 up.

Good post match interview by Timbo too .. Levy should give the rest of the season to him but from what, Timbo were saying , I think he wants more than that.
