Good, much needed result for the team tonight.
Was nice to see Pochettino make 5 or 6 changes rather than 11, to get a bit of consistency in the team.
Thought Capoue had one of his best games tonight.
In terms of the x11, I like the usual top 3 of Lamela, Eriksen & Chadli but would love to see Schneiderlin come in January and play next to Capoue in the central midfield. Would still keep Dembele but just play him instead of Lamela or Eriksen against the bigger teams when a bit more strength is needed.
Kane did really well tonight but a new striker is a priority with Soldado moving on, in my opinion. Not sure who but Benteke or Bony would both be excellent options.
As for the defence, I don't think there is anything wrong with the players that the team has, think it is more of a tactical issue and a ridiculously high line. However, I would move on Chiriches as his confidence has completely gone. An ideal replacement would be Schar, watched him for Basel and looks technically sound and has a bit of pace about him.
Can seriously see Chiriches, Paulinho, Lennon and Soldado all being moved on very soon, perhaps Townsend too if he doesn't get the playing time. Konoplyanka would be a great and affordable replacement.

A 5-1 win is never bad, but why do I feel like we got away with one. Our back line gets caught out way to often, when will we learn - a better team would have punished us.

We are creating more chances recently though which is a positive.

I really hope Kane starts on Sunday, he is scoring goals and gaining confidence so I think now is the first time he should be first choice although Soldado played his best for a while against Man City, but he didn't score.

How do you explain Southampton then spurski or these little unknown teams from Europe that play pass and run the spurs way, nothing to do with money its the way we play its not the spurs way we had average players at times but played the spurs way entertained and sat on the edge of your seat it was great, last time I felt like that was a long time ago did not matter who we played we could score teams feared us .lost my appetite spurs dire, win one against no hoppers then loose five not mopos fault, spurs have lost thier identity something is missing, spurs are lost promising everything its this time the corner has been turned you get all excited full of hope then after 15 mins realise nothing has changed its the same, spurs are not spurs at the moment spurski there poorly ill, I have been watching for 50 years these are the poorest years I have ever had to endure, were is the title 61 don't think you was even a glint in someone's eye then, want to seriously challenge for something before I die my grandfather watched a title winning team in the spurs I want to as well, so don't call me a whinger I'm entitled to bleat been waiting a long time with my spurs dream,

Pochettino does not coach this type of football you want plus we are only in the first few months of the season with a system that will take time.

We have had much worse players than the ones we have now, I don't get your pessimism.

Lots of empty seats at the lane, there'll be more when the team flaters to deceive, Townsend will be poor again no width no excitement same old. My pre match guess and prediction, hope Kane scores but won't get any service and adebyour will be keen for half an you then go missing like the rest of them, well see if I right .
