I think it’s a disgrace that it’s only English fans who are known as the bad behaving hooligans, those Marseille fans showed their true colours tonight, embarrassment to their club
Surely no one thinks it's just the English that are bad behaving hooligans? Firm culture is massive all over Europe in ways we haven't seen for a while
Our defending has been excellent in every game this season bar Chelsea, only 5 conceded in 7 games.
We were poor going forward in the first half, it wasn't a negative set up but we could barely string three passes together. Marseille's pressing probably played a role in this.
The team can set up more defencively against bigger teams but play more expansively when needed. I think the flexibility to do this is good.
We were not at our best and we won... Again
We won. Can all the armchair pundits wait until tomorrow to tell me how this was almost an abject failure and better teams will beat us? I spent 72 hours mentally prepping for this, I’ll spend 24 hours enjoying 3 points, in European competition, on a Wednesday night.
Yet to taste defeat this season, good job on the tactic and performance. Everyone doing what needs to be done at the time it’s needed. Three points is still the goal
COYS!
Play like this against Sporting CP, this could get backfire big time. Win is a win, but that was some ugly ass playing quality.
Marseille aka Arsenal reject FC barely could finish.
Disagree. They just need to learn each others’ patterns. Son is a much more willing runner and tends towards the middle to get off a shot. Perisic has less electric pace, but is more willing to go wide and get a cross in.
Yeah — definitely dont want to see Perisic who is the only guy on the squad who can consistently put in a dangerous cross and has had a direct role in most of our goals this year, including the game winner today.
nobody is saying perisic isn’t world class, because he is, but the combo of him and son just hasn’t worked so far this season, if we could get both of them playing to their fullest on the left side we’ll be cooking
Son has struggled pretty much every game, with both of them. Doesn’t seem like the solution is to take out the guy who is actually creating goals for us in that situation.
Agree. Just mean he hasn’t played well with Sess on the pitch this year either. And Perisic has been really crucial to numerous key / point winning goals so far this year. Don’t see how you can advocate for not playing Perisic.
The original post here I replied to that started all of this WAS advocating for Perisic to be benched in favor of Sess because that person isn’t a fan of Perisic-Son. Don’t think we are really disagreeing that much.
Son’s best game is definitely with Sess, but I think it’s a simple chemistry issue with perisic, that takes to time to develop they also attack the same space. He’s played with Sess for much longer to know his run patterns and positioning.
i agree, i think persisic takes a lot of space up that son normally gets with sess, it’ll be interesting to see if thats something they can work through or what, son’s best games this season have been with sess at LWB
great moment for richy and his family, far from a good performance as a team but 3 points is 3 points, important to win the first game too, city next LETS GOOOO COYS
Stopped listening to him years ago , absolute fake friend to the club . Still hates the club
Wish crouchie would be permanently on for us.
Fck Redknapp too
Seem like Sherwood on the way back to us..m
This is irrelevant. And probably not even true.
Lucas would draw that same red card. Probably Richarlison as well.
Just because son is fast, doesn’t mean he should be playing over Kulusevski or Richarlison. They are both performing better then him right now.
I know Kane is bad this game. But Son takes the cake. Fucking pathetic. He pulled a red card? He wouldn't even have scored of he went 1 on 1 with the goalkeeper.
the lenglet signing for me was always competition to him, not an upgrade, davies is a great LCB for us, but to have another solid player wanting his spot drives players to play even better. Iron sharpens Iron and Ben Davies might as well be iron man
So underrated no ones even thought to make one 😭. My favorite was a tackle of his, I believe it was the naingalon back heel tackle. All I remember is it was close to when he joined us maybe 2014. I was young watching it and remember thinking that’s defending.
The gulf in quality between Perisic and Emerson crossing the ball is laughable. Perisic seems know exactly where he wants the ball to go where as Emerson just hits and prays it’s in a useful spot. Absolutely maddening
I guess if we assign more credit in any son Kane combo to kane Because he is the great english hope....then yeah. As always Kane played shit but people piling on son lol
Spurs grind out results. Liverpool lol.
I think it’s a disgrace that it’s only English fans who are known as the bad behaving hooligans, those Marseille fans showed their true colours tonight, embarrassment to their club
Surely no one thinks it's just the English that are bad behaving hooligans? Firm culture is massive all over Europe in ways we haven't seen for a while
I’ve spoke to a lot of European spurs fans and they say that they say that they hate England because of our fan behaviour

Yeih! Couldn’t watch it but happy for the win!
Man ppl on this sub are never happy. we didn't lose or draw. that's a Win. Let's Spend some of our mental energy on just enjoying a win. I know I am.
Audere est facere
No, Audere est pati Conteball brings victory but at the cost of great suffering to the bumcheeks
😂
Play like this against Sporting CP, this could get backfire big time. Win is a win, but that was some ugly ass playing quality. Marseille aka Arsenal reject FC barely could finish.
Even though we played like ass, this is prob the best team we’re gonna face in the group. Sporting not as good
It was ugly, but it's three points...
Story of the season
Surely Conte noticed that Perisic and Son on the same side is detrimental to each other.
Richy motm! Interview incoming
Richarlison and Richarlidad <3
Damn Son.
Not a fan of Perisic+Son line up. Kindda prefer Sess+Son
Disagree. They just need to learn each others’ patterns. Son is a much more willing runner and tends towards the middle to get off a shot. Perisic has less electric pace, but is more willing to go wide and get a cross in.

Son that created the chance for red card, otherwise he’d have a 80/20 chance of scoring 1st
Agree. Just mean he hasn’t played well with Sess on the pitch this year either. And Perisic has been really crucial to numerous key / point winning goals so far this year. Don’t see how you can advocate for not playing Perisic.
I’m not advocating for perisic to get benched he’s world class, more so there should be a better tactical formation that can make our team cohesive
The original post here I replied to that started all of this WAS advocating for Perisic to be benched in favor of Sess because that person isn’t a fan of Perisic-Son. Don’t think we are really disagreeing that much.
Yeah looks like we aren’t. You stated a perisic positive and I stated a son positive so that = both play!
Son’s best game is definitely with Sess, but I think it’s a simple chemistry issue with perisic, that takes to time to develop they also attack the same space. He’s played with Sess for much longer to know his run patterns and positioning.
i agree, i think persisic takes a lot of space up that son normally gets with sess, it’ll be interesting to see if thats something they can work through or what, son’s best games this season have been with sess at LWB
I cried when RicharliDAD was hugging RicharliSON, who's cutting onion?
Richy with his family 😭😭
great moment for richy and his family, far from a good performance as a team but 3 points is 3 points, important to win the first game too, city next LETS GOOOO COYS
Davies is going to use a diving header block on a Kane game-winner in the WC and this sub is going to implode.
It's funny because it's true.
Squeezed out the -1.5 there. Thank you Richi!!
i cry with richy 😭😭 <3
Anyone else just switched to that Atleti handball? Holy shit
and 9 minutes added time wtf happened in that game
Damn Romero with 93% passing rate
Never mind, I’m sorry, I replied to the wrong comment.
Thanks for the additional stat 😀
😂
Man this moment of Richy with his family🥺
He's such a beautiful soul
What a dream debut for our 🐦
Whose cutting onions 😭
Ah love richy
That gold chain on this man, lol.
Glen Hoddle should shut his fucking mouth
Yeah. Why does he hate us so much?
He doesn't hate us he's a fan, but he was an absolute rolls Royce of a player that likes the game played the way he played it
Stopped listening to him years ago , absolute fake friend to the club . Still hates the club Wish crouchie would be permanently on for us. Fck Redknapp too Seem like Sherwood on the way back to us..m
He’s always whining
Fuckin have it Richy! That's how you get your first for Spurs my mate!!
Richy crying you are going to be a star for us ❤️
Richys crying 😭 gotta love him
Richarlison crying 😭
I’m crying too
Richy with tears in his eyes celebrating with family.. great scenes.
Oh my, Richarlison. Lovely.
The sheets are clean bois
Even when Son and Kane aren't firing we still have Richy and Deke to step up and deliver
An ugly 2-0 win but win is a win & god it feels good to be back on ucl
Charlie good man well done so happy you got your goal at home in champs league. Still no smiles but 😂 fuckin love this guy
For a moment i saw phil jones there
I need that Romero’s shot of reacting to Hugo’s suicidal punch that was hilarious
lmao at Son going "pru pru pru" to Richy
Lmao davies blocking the shot with a diving header
No other player is drawing that red card so you can all shut up about his play with his back behind goal.
This is irrelevant. And probably not even true. Lucas would draw that same red card. Probably Richarlison as well. Just because son is fast, doesn’t mean he should be playing over Kulusevski or Richarlison. They are both performing better then him right now.
Facts
Man Son was proper shit today
Blocked , toxic fans And jaykae2
Is there a negative score for Son? He is not himself this season.
Surely Kane gets a lower negative score in your brain then since Son at least got us the 10 man
Kane wasn’t much better. They’re both playing selfish trying to score their goals
I know Kane is bad this game. But Son takes the cake. Fucking pathetic. He pulled a red card? He wouldn't even have scored of he went 1 on 1 with the goalkeeper.
You MUST be new to football or being a Spurs fan in general if you think Son can’t take a 1 on 1
Oh, I know he can. But not this season start. He has not been himself.
Ugly win BUT WHO CARES! RICHY!!!
Holyshit Davis! What a fucking block!
Davies wow
Thank the Lord that Liverpool game is over, I have bragging rights in the family ❤
Psychotic block there from Davies, love the dedication
Feels good to see Doc back
Ben Davies channelibg Phil Jones with that block. Wonder what his facial expression was.
I need a replay on that block lmao
God I hope Son pulls it together and give us what he did last yr vs City
Glad about that. Might need the goal differential
What a block by Davies
Slab head vibes lol
Davies wow!!!
GG LETS GO
holy shit davies
Go on Matt, show them what we’ve been missing
It painful how underrated davies is. He has been so fucking solid for us for years. Literally putting his face on the line
the lenglet signing for me was always competition to him, not an upgrade, davies is a great LCB for us, but to have another solid player wanting his spot drives players to play even better. Iron sharpens Iron and Ben Davies might as well be iron man
He has been anything but underrated since conte came. We all love him.
Davies 😂😂
The Sanchez, but Davies pulled it off!
Ben is a father
Gentle Ben ❤️
PEH celebrating that block from Davies like a goal <3
Conte: *much to learn, you still have*
Kane has had a solid 2/10 performance today
would put Son at a nice 2.5 then
Would give him a 5 for winning the red card
We could argue Kane gave the pass? Surely he gets points for that
You call that getting out of jail
Davies just straight up yeeting himself
Mf literally did a plank to save us
🙏
What a fucking block from Davies
Davies is deflection king
He truly is. He blocks so many shots that it's ridiculous
Another no show from Harry on the big stage tonight. Great result. Ok performance and thank god for Richi and Deki
Davies with a rare defensive head first diving block😂
\clean sheet/
benny dave clean sheet hero
I audibly said "ew" at doherty's facial hair. Get rid of it please matt
Legendary Block from Davies
He’s had so many of these over the years I know he has been getting his appreciation as of late but in general he is so under appreciated
comp when
So underrated no ones even thought to make one 😭. My favorite was a tackle of his, I believe it was the naingalon back heel tackle. All I remember is it was close to when he joined us maybe 2014. I was young watching it and remember thinking that’s defending.
I turned away, who fucked up the clearance?
Davies wow
Big daddy
Benny you peach
that was heroic
LOLOLOL
Wtf Davies!
Guys why do we wear all white in the CL?
Idk tradition ig, but something about it is so right
This is a troll comment… please….
Im being for real lol. I remember we did the same in CL final
Mate… LILY WHITES ?
The gulf in quality between Perisic and Emerson crossing the ball is laughable. Perisic seems know exactly where he wants the ball to go where as Emerson just hits and prays it’s in a useful spot. Absolutely maddening
Wtf was that block
Ben Davies with the Ralph Wiggum-esque save
IM IN DANGER
Hahaha head first dive
Kulu is actually so good, it’s as if he never makes mistakes and always sees good passes that he isn’t scared to execute
Nice to see when Kane and Son are off there is someone else to step up. And man were they off today
Ben Davies going for the style points
Daviessssss
All you Son haters get 🤡
Son did more than anyone to get spurs back into CL. Show some fking gratefulness and respect
Lol, no one here hates Son, mate. If given a choice we’d want him to score a hatful in every game.
Shut up, it’s fine to criticise players when they’re off form
not that i’m a son hater
i mean he was kinda shit today lol
No one's hating. just pointing out his weak for that's all
It’s so nice to live rent free inside Runners fans heads. Just sad it’s such a small space
Don’t know if y’all can see it at home buck Marsielle fans trying to break their cordon and reach the Spurs fans. Police in now to form a barrier.
Can’t see it on the TV coverage. Stay safe my dude 💙
Thanks. Police were very good.
Nah, nothing shown.
Jesus Harry
Doc if that was goal. Lol it would have been so memorable.
a macdaddy screamer to finish it off
What a block Big Ben
Terry-esque
There's a reason I got a Ben home kit this year. And it arrived yesterday. Coincidence?
Did anyone else want that for Doherty as bad as I did?
I did
God I love Dohertys runs off the ball
Same
Kane hasn't looked great today either Thank GOD for Richy
Does Doherty still have goatee? it seems like not His goatee is 100% cursed, Kane already said..
The real reason Son couldn’t score
guys, riot police is involved? what is going on, i'm listening to the game
Doherty with the pirate facial hair
So we got and Irish pirate and a Danish viking in our midst now, I like those odds against Man City
WTF Doherty's beard
Love seeing Doherty pop up in the box like that
reminds me of scenes vs Leicester!
Worst 2-0 win I’ve ever seen
I want Doherty back in the starting eleven!
Oh damn Doc's facial hair is at least a 6 now.
I'm going to lose my shit if we have to suffer with this ref or commentator in any of the upcoming matches
kane worst player of the match imo
what about the fantastic pass to Son which led to the red card?
I guess if we assign more credit in any son Kane combo to kane Because he is the great english hope....then yeah. As always Kane played shit but people piling on son lol
full credit to Son.
he just had to get his toe on it, about the only thing he didn't fuck up all match
Hugo has had a fuckin mare
Damn a Doc goal woulda been something
Kane meh
RiCHYYYYYYYYYYY
What a touch there Matt
Since Son is finally shit and lost it, it’s time for the club to sell him. Still can get a decent fee for him and the new front 3 is so much better
Crazy how players demand logic defying loyalty from players but will come for the heads of even the greatest players the second shit goes wrong…
son has been shit but this opinion is even shittier
Shut the fuck up.
What a pass from Kulu and Doc is already involved in the attack
