Lilywhite Spur

Love Kane’s little nod to Spurs in this 🤍

It would be interesting to see if there’s any comparisons out there between number of injuries and the ‘importance’ of the injured players to the team

Number of games they’ve started / minutes they’ve had or something.

I’d be interested in the possible number 6 profiles around. I know we got the clause with Cardoso, but no idea on the player. Or what other 6’s are around / would fit Ange’s system

Also centre back and winger

Ange Postecoglou on will Yves Bissouma play at centre back against Wolves: "I don’t know. I mean Yves has never played there so I am not sure why I would put him there. I had to put him there last night because I had no one else, but we’ll see. We’ll see what happens.

Udogie - Gray - Dorrington - Porro defence on Sunday?

Key players in terms of profiles missing currently in the squad. Retaining possession, ability to take a man on 1-on-1.

If you want other players to fill that profile then sure. But right now we haven’t got it because they are injured

I can’t remember if Maddison did or not, but if I’m being picky there are times I would prefer Maddison just to get on with it

I’m not following?

If we were in this position with minimal injuries I would be seriously questioning.

But the players are dead, and Ange has no choice but to keep playing them.

Key players like Moore and Odobert retaining possession on the wingers, VdV’s pace and Romero’s passing seriously hurt us too

This kid is built different 🤯 can’t wait for him to get to England

Injuries are hampering. Johnson and Son wing pairing doesn’t work for me, but Ange doesn’t exactly have many options.

You get players like Moore and Odibert, and Kulu back centrally, the amount we lose the ball will be far less and we’ll improve our chance creation

Thought Djed had a great game today. Frustrating when any players get a yellow for discipline, holding up play etc…

Our entire team is effectively dead on their legs or playing out of position, or both.

We need players back and reinforcements asap.

Still fully behind Ange though 💪 COYS 🤍💙

Absolutely, he’s proved himself at every stage and then got recruited for a bigger challenge at a bigger club.

He’s not proved himself at Spurs yet which he’ll want to do. And there’s not many more clubs that would be another step up for him anyway

I could have probably put money on Lo Celso being in this, purely for the fact that he left Spurs

I’ve seen good things said about this Cardoso guy at Betis, but I think we can’t activate whatever clause it was till summer.

With Bentancur, Biss, Sarr, Bergvall and Gray all in the team, I can’t see us getting another in Jan unless one of those leaves

Left Back
Left Centre Back
Right Wing (put Deki back centrally)

GK and number 6 needed, possibly Jan depending on sales - but definitely in the summer

Transitions excellent, defensively against open play was very good before we lost our goal keeper and two starting centre backs. We’re still scoring lots of goals. We more of a full squad who can all contribute now rather than 12/13 players

That was a beautiful goal 🤍

I think most people expected a loss considering all the mitigating factors.

The scoreline hurts, but you can still see the progress we’ve made this season.

Not a time to overreact now, keep backing Ange and all the players 💪 still lots to come

Spence and Gray have been so good today

Don’t think we’ve played too bad, but fatigue from being overplayed due to all the injuries is definitely showing

I could listen Defoe talk about football for hours, excellent pundit (yes the Tottenham bias does help)

What a fight so far 💪 Fury starting to find his rhythm

I love Ange…. Anyone else?

For me, as long as Ange support chants continue alongside Levy out chants. Then it puts Levy in a really tough position - firing a manager when the fans are singing his name is an even worse look.

YouTube video by Optus Sport Southampton's Russel Martin puts his support behind Ange Postecoglou 😮 #Shorts #PremierLeague

Excellent summary of Ange’s beliefs and style and the portrayal and spin of the media from Russel Martin

Not against that to be honest - deserves the opportunity

Youngsters impressed me most tonight. Bergvall’s recent cameos have looked good, feels like he’s starting to settle
