Is there a single player in the league that can put sprint Van De Ven? Seriously he absolutely blows by everyone he’s gone against.
No
Was thinking how on earth are palace trying to counter when none of their attackers can outrun Van de Ven.
The crazy thing is that the higher Spurs play defensively the less exposed they are in behind because VDV has more time to hunt them down.
Great, now every time I see VdV chase someone down I’m going to hear the JAWS song in my head.
The Haaland/VDV battle is gonna be genuinely fascinating
Sarrrrrr dude
he is immense. i get the feeling we don’t fully appreciate what he does on the pitch for us
Stepping up every single match
Almost shed a tear when I saw him sprinting down the right wing in the 90th minute
Speak for yourself. I’ve been talking about his off-the-ball genius for two months now.
Tottenham have a fucking midfield
We’re going to be hearing “first time since '61” quite a bit
Ref saw the check clear from Pep at the 90th minute and tried his best to get Palace a point.
In all seriousness, horrible refereeing there. Good resilience from Spurs in what was a frustrating game for them. Johnson was fantastic.
I love this style of football!!
idk why people keep saying spurs have no depth.
We clearly do right now, and have options. ( of course its not the highest quality like our starting 11 but it will close out the game if we are leading). Also we are not playing any other league besides premier league… and with kane money in the bank, we can easily find more depth added on january which is coming soon.
Did we not already spend the Kane money on Vicario, van de Ven, Madison, and Johnson?
Fucking Jordan Ayew ruining my clean sheet points for Romero, VDV and Vicario
Vicario has turned out to be a gem
Between him, Maddison, Van der Ven, and Johnson, Spurs have had a great transfer window
If you forget Conte’s terrorism, Sarr and Bissouma are like new signings too
It’s the manager and the style of football.
Everyone is talking up the players and that’s fair; they’re doing it on the field but the difference is the manager.
If you forget Conte’s terrorism
I’ve been trying but I think my brain needs bleach
I hate to say it, but so far I think Spurs have had the best transfer window. Maddison alone was an absurd bit of business, but they’ve just improved everywhere.
Spurs gonna win the league, oh my days
We need better fullbacks
i know it’s pretty much impossible, but it would be hilarious if spurs win it this year just after kane left
I know it’s pretty much impossible, but it would be hilarious if we could go one match thread without someone commenting this same comment after Kane left
If Spurs lose enough games it’ll happen.
Long may it continue.
We won’t ever get a match thread without it. But what if we did? Nah, its impossible.
Unless…
i’m sorry this is happening to you.
It would be even more hilarious if bayern don’t win the league. If that actually happens I’d retire if i were kane. Maybe get into golf like bale did
Just go kick in the NFL
He be the first academy player to score a FG at the stadium.
I’m not a Tottenham fan, but as a Chaotic Liverpool one I love this. Kane leaving has them on top 😆
Same. If Liverpool can’t win the league then love seeing spurs win it because it’s interesting.
Unlucky Stuart Attwell, wanker.
Can we depend on Maguire and McTominay to be world class?
Missed the game. Cab someone summarise? Spurs looking dangerous this season. Definitely a title contender
We didn’t look like title contenders. Weak first half, did enough in the second half. Crystal Palace weren’t bad, but they had players out so we played them at the right time.
We are top, and that’s as good as we can hope for. But we aren’t blowing teams away like you’d expect from a top team.
Poor first half by Spurs coupled with good defensive shape from Palace. 0-0.
Spurs look miles better after half time and go up 2-0, threatening more.
Palace score via Ayew volley that was aided by a hand ball. 94th ish minute. VAR missed the call badly and allowed the goal.
