SERGE AURIER
Scored first goal for Spurs agst Brighton.

Aurier, he came from France
Home office, Gave him a chance
He punched a copper in the nose

HEUNG-MIN SON

Heung-min Son has scored in four consecutive games across all competitions for Spurs. His goal contributions in his last 12 appearances: 7 goals and 3 assists

– he has scored more goals this season than Hazard, Sanchez, Mahrez, Mane and Rashford and has only started 10 games this season in total.

Heung-Min Son since May 2016:

– 71 Appearances
– 51 Starts
– 29 Goals
– 9 Assists

– he has been described by many as our most underrated player. Probably is but i cannot take it the covering of his mouth with his hands when he balloons the ball when it was easier to score.

DELE ALLI

Poch on diamond Dele lights: “The players are always frustrated when they don’t play. He’s happy, but always the frustration, the last game 5-1 and he didn’t score. They struggle to understand sometimes when the coaching staff and manager try to care about everyone.”

– Alli wasnt happy coming off the bench but it was right to drop him. Shd have dropped Eriksen as well. He said that Alli was ill agst Stoke. Perhaps now Alli will be eager to prove himself.

VS MANCHESTER CITY

TEAM NEWS: No fresh injury concerns ahead of Man City. Sanchez (suspended), Toby (hamstring) and Wanyama (knee) remain unavailable.

Manchester City: Vincent Kompany, John Stones and Benjamin Mendy remain sidelined.

Poch : “I’m always confident. I’m a positive person and always believe we can win. Of course, always I respect all the opponents. The same respect if it was Manchester City, Brighton, Apoel or Leicester City. Football is about respect and confidence in our quality and how we play. Of course, be positive that we can have a great game and win…We have a very good relationship. I admire Pep – all that he was doing at Barcelona, Bayern Munich and now at Manchester City. My idea as a manager… I think he is one of the managers I am more close to in football.”

– he bears no grudge towards Pep for the “Kane’s team” comment

Pochettino says there’s an “aura” about Man City, similar to how Spurs felt at White Hart Lane last season. He adds he wouldn’t complain if Man City celebrate loudly in their changing room tomorrow, stating it can be “good to feel the pain”.

– i read City was loud in their dressing room after the Swansea game. Poch said he would want his team to play loud music of Diamond Lights at the Etihad on Saturday because it would mean they had got a good result

Pochettino suggests Kyle Walker moved to ManCity to chase short-term success – rather than stick around for the Spurs “project”.

– i still think he made a mistake in League Cup prioritisation or he was glossing over the lost of diamond lights

Pep: “Spurs I think is with Chelsea, the best team in wanting to play football (along with City). They want to make (play) their own game…Tottenham has very good players. I think the base of the English national team is from Tottenham. English football should grateful for what Pochettino has done.”

– “Son’s team” now?
