Kane finally scores.
Premier League Gameweek 2
- Thread starter matys
- Start date
That went well.
Superb player, I'll give him that, but I recall him doing feck all at the back end of last season when we drew 1-1 with them, following the resume. Hopefully we'll have AWB for that one, too.
Now Kane ffs
Kane best player on the pitch
That went well.
To be fair, they have hoofed it up to Kane and Son and it's worked. Soton are very naive.
Lindelof would be perfect for Southampton
Take Kane off may as well take Son off with him.
Southampton after halftime have been an absolute state. Haven't coped since Son scored just before the half ended.
He enjoys that role, where he has runners past him. In Son, he's had that in the second half. It should be something Jose does going forward.
Southampton truely killed on the counter.
They have been fantastic in the second half. Easily the best I’ve seen from a team since the restart.
Granted very poor half but made changes and turned the game on it’s head.
This aged well.
This game just shows the impact that match fitness has this early in the season. I don't think Saints are this bad a team, they just look shot since half time. Hasenhuttl was bemoaning their fitness in the pre match presser.
I think we're going to keep seeing some weird scorelines until the fitness levels have equalised across the league.

Indeed, indeed.And imagine people watching videos of Sancho and commenting that "you don't get that kind of space in the PL"
Some of these games are bizarre so far, I wonder if you see same type if there were a crowd, it seems like teams are playing less cautious.
The season will be more about fitness than ever.
I'd go with more of a midfielder. A lopsided 442, if you like, that we saw under Sir Alex
Rooney Tevez
Ronaldo Carrick Scholes Hargreaves
Ronaldo who had a free role, with Hargreaves tucking in to make a three.
I'd play something like:
Son Kane
Sissokho Winks Lo Celso Bale (free role)
Worst defending I've seen since yesterday.
I really feel sorry for Southampton goalkeeper. There is no help whatsoever from those infront of him. It is like motorway for Tottenham players.
The season has started too soon IMO. Should have been October.
These penalties are utterly ridiculous.
Insane. It’s a farce. Lucky for Spurs it doesn’t affect anything.

At least there's some consistency.
Indeed, give every team the chance of at least some pre-season.
It's obvious at the moment who has had time and who hasn't.
This season is going to be ruined by ridiculous handball decisions. Never a pen. 2-5
There are gong to be about 1,000 penalties this season at this rate. Stupid decision. Refs need to use common sense
The rules on handball really need to change
They have been fantasticI. 'm not taking that away from them, but when I say Soton have been defensively naive, I feel they played right into Spurs' hands i.e. playing a high line. The amount of times they've got in behind is worrying.
These penalty decisions are beyond a joke.
Yeah, the law needs changing before next game week. It makes no sense whatsoever.
Proper football team, brilliant stuff.
Kane and Son.
Two players I've wanted at United for years

We’re going to get players just flicking the ball at defenders’ hands.
Gabriel yesterday for Arsenal was more of a penalty than both. Not given.
I thought yesterday was the worst hand ball decision I’d ever seen. That’s just beaten it. The game is becoming a joke.
I get ya. Though, for me, I'd have Giggsy in place of Owen, but I digress!
Yeah that’s not a pen. Don’t care though. I have Ings in FF.
Yeah true that. With Bale(if he manages to regain some form) could be the best team in the counter, especially with Jose as manager.
They will still have problems breaking some teams down but against higher line or when in space are sight to see.
I actually ventured as far (some time last year) of suggesting selling Martial and rashford if it guaranteed getting a world-class finisher. I gave examples of Ruud, Kane and Ronaldo, all of which of course were pie in the sky, but people should have been able to get my drift. They didn't...
