Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 Everton (Sat 24 Aug, 3:00 PM)

[when i score we riot]

Far better than Young, no argument.

Put in a few boss tackles too, nothing to be ashamed about for him today, as opposed to the rest of the team

Yes a Pickford error but why oh why time after time when we get a throw in virtually on the half way line do we look back towards our own goal?young did the same last week and tarkowski nearly gave a penalty away,so so negative and so predictable unfortunately.

Because Pickford is our most creative player lol. Seriously - it's clearly a tactic to get it back to him to hoof out wide.

2-0 is a dangerous lead

For us.

I can still think of worse halves of football we have played quite recently. We are comfortably losing this one but i guess there is comfort in expecting to lose too, i guess

Spurs ain't all that we have had our chances.

Wonder what the excuse will be at full time for this performance.

Only 14 players innit. Despite having 18 in the match day squad and playing nine of his preferred eleven. The usual suspects will back him up on it, too.

Aye lad but that time when we were on par or better than them (and when we took our chances, with the likes of Jelavic) are far gone

 

[lungo]

He hasn't been good but he's been no worse tbf

He is hiding behind Tarkowski. Myko totally out of form. A few kilos to many. Was great at the Euros and has partied hard it seems. Slow ans slower on the left side .

 

[Mase]

Is he making any subs? If not, is he changing tactics? If not, can we ask the ref to blow for full time

 

[GambianToffee]

Might not be the accepted narrative but I thought Michael Keane wasn’t our worst player that half. He’s made a couple of important interceptions and decent passes out.

Tarkowski, worryingly, looking really out of sorts again. Perhaps it will all change if / when Branthwaite is back.

 

[TommyDavo]

The boy is down there, I asked if he’d gone for the early train. He said the steward said there was no re-admission and he requested it in writing

Error? No. Idiotic yes.

Looks a different player without Branthwaite next to him covering.

Think a few might be getting ahead of themselves here.

I've seen him get beat plenty with lots of crosses coming in from that side.

He has had a nice tackle or two and an alright little run but he hasn't stood out. In context it's a solid performance compared to the dreck around him today 6.5/10.

Dyche only does subs after 70 mins and it’s going to be Holgate

 

[Bakayoko Stracqualursi]

Seriously - does Dyche consider Pickford to be our "playmaker"? He must touch the ball 10 times more and more minutes in possession than any outfield player and probably attempts more passes in this turgid Sean Dunce "system".
