Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Tbh, Toby has looked more shaky this season than at any other point of his Spurs career so far imo. He's not playing bad, but I've noticed that when he's been getting pulled out to the flanks he's losing a fair few 1-1's now and letting people get the cross in.

Still a testament to him that his worst form for us is still a 7 or 8/10.
Needs to sign the goddamn contract.
:levyeyes:

Weirdly, wasn't Eriksen underperforming (by his standards) in the first part of last season before he signed his new deal? I swear his form took off afterwards.
 
He loves his new role, they asked him on Belgian tv how he was feeling at Spurs and he was all smiles. Said that he missed going forward a lot, that he understood the need to stay and secure the line last year but he really enjoys being a baller too. A bit of technical skills, a bit of bombing forward, having a shot at goal every now and then. Some of the videos of the trickery he does in training sessions are awesome, my guess if you play against him in a 5 a side, he'll drive you completely crazy.
 
I read tonight that Jan is 2 caps away from the all time appearance record for his country...that’s great for him and to an extent reflects well on Spurs too

Considering his career with us, he’s come a long long way since Chelsea away under Dim Tim...

Not sure what “World Class” really is, but comparing him to his peers he must be as good as anyone ? Hopefully it’s a few seasons away, but when he goes he will be hard to replace.
 
He is a class act, no questions about that. He also looks as if he is really enjoying his football too. Just want him to score now and again to see the superman celebration again - not for the want of trying

One of several underrated players with us. Him, Dembele and Eriksen should've been in the team of the season the last two seasons. Lloris seems underrated as well.
 
Jan is an absolute master, to think about the abominations of defenders he has to play with for us pre Toby and still would get clean sheets plus has covered when Toby injured last couple of seasons

Top shelf

I agree.

Except I think it's 'top drawer', as a synonym for quality, rather than 'top shelf' - thats for porno mags (unless that's what you meant)

I always used top shelf with the thinking all the premium booze is on the top shelf (so I was told)

Christ how many people have I insulted over the years!!
