Player Watch: Ivan Perisic

[Neon_Knight_]

Lost possession 7 times out of 17 touches.

Created 1 chance ( the corner kick ) not sure where all these others chances he created you mentioned.

He was poor imo but put in a great corner

How many of those 7 losses of possession were balls into the box that a Sheffield Utd player got the first touch on (and some of which went back into the path of a Spurs player on the edge of the box, so that we could continue attacking)?

 

[Hans Moleman]

The ball into Richarlison for the winner was top notch

 

[spurmin]

He’s a top notch player.

 

[Super_spurs25]

Such a quality option to bring on from the bench late on. So good with his delivery on both feet. Adds valuable experience to a young squad too

That touch round the corner perfectly into richy’s path for the second goal was sublime

 

[ultimateloner]

Point proven today

Yeah he is a class act. If he was a few years younger he would be out of our league.

 

[Montalbano]

Hope we keep him for this entire season. He is a real asset as an impact sub

 

[easley91]

I though he, along with Johnson and Richarlison, were game changers. His crossing was better than what had been offered by anyone else up until that point. It was just Sheffield United heads got onto it first.

 

[Kirito]

Came in here to see what people thought after his brilliant corner and assist for the assist. First comment I see someone saying he was poor. I guess we all do live in our own little worlds.

The ball he turns into Richy's path was even better than the corner delivery and after he'd pressured their keeper into a hurried clearance.

Seen some bad takes in my time but yours is definitely up ther

 

[BorjeSpurs]

Has averaged 28 min per game so far this season and has directly contributed with two assists and also had a big part to play for Kulu's goal today, Kulu's goal against Bournemouth and the own goal against United.

His contributions as a squad player in this side is clear for everyone except for those with pre-determined opinions.

 

[Neon_Knight_]

Yeah he is a class act. If he was a few years younger he would be out of our league.

I wouldn't go as far as "out of our league". In his prime, he wouldn't have been too good to play alongside prime Kane, Son, Eriksen, Dele etc.

 

[easley91]

What a wonderful option to have off the bench. His delivery, both in open play and dead balls, is top class.

 

[$hoguN]

Massive asset off the bench. Looks dangerous every time he plays at the moment. For someone’s who crosses with pin point accuracy I’m surprised he doesn’t back himself to shoot more often

 

[Spursmatty87]

there was a rumour that he is off in January is this true? I feel he could be vital for the run in.

just a rumour related to the Hadjuk Split deal. Can’t see that happening.

I would imagine many of our fringe players would not want to leave if they are getting minutes (PEH, Perisic)

 

[spurs mental]

Fantastic footballer. Has made a difference every time he's come on this season. Contributed to both goals yesterday as well.

 

[ultimateloner]

Prime Poch-team yes. Anything else and he would have been too good.

 

[Neon_Knight_]

Prime Poch-team yes. Anything else and he would have been too good.

I don't think he was ever better than Son, Maddison, Bentancur, Bissouma or Romero, so that would mean half our starting XI is too good for us.

Also, when we convinced Perisic to sign, we had prime Kane and a high-profile / successful manager.

 

[CantSmileWithoutYou]

On the bench and coming on to play left wing, he's a great option to have.

Just keep him away from being left back.
