Pre-Season 2023/24

Yep its taking shape isn't it mate.

Add a CB or 2 and a top class goalscoring RW and let Son and Richy cover up top we could have a very exciting season on our hands.

From past experience the manager rarely plays the side the fans would like to see. Let's hope Ange is different

For a guy who can't finish he's done well to have the ball in the net 5 times.

"Such a silky player, Emerson Royal" is not something I thought we'd hear after his first few appearances.

 

[Albertbarich]

That Richy celebration makes me giggle every time.

I'm a 44 year old man FFS.

 

[Bobbins]

Gio going to be the dark horse Fantasy Football pick no-one in my league will be expecting this year.

 

[GutBucket]

Well deserved hat-trick. Royal definitely our best RB, yet to see him not play well when he runs in the middle.

Commentator has described him that way at least twice too. Loves him

45 minutes agains some part timers and already some want kane dropped for Richie Up the spurs

No one's said that from what I've seen. However, some have observed that Richy got into great positions in two games running and looked far more dangerous than Harry in each of them. I can barely recall a single chance Kane has had tbh. He doesn't stretch the defense or press and isn't really occupying the box as much anymore.

 

[Cochise]

I thought Richy had pulled a hammy until I realised he was getting in to his pigeon celebration

 

[Scot-Spur]

You have to remember they also change pretty much their whole team at HT.

Positive sign’s especially from a few but let’s not go overboard.

 

[BorjeSpurs]

I really don’t want to see any embarrassing trophy lifting that will get us roasted online.

 

[hughy]

Bissouma news aside that was probably about as positive as a second half performance could be.

 

[barry]

Cup Champions. Time to celebrate

 

[DiscoD1882]

just want to confirm. When is the open top bus parade??

 

[bigfrooj]

I'm off to buy a lottery ticket, gents.

I was thinking that too funny enough. He seems a better fit than Kane for this system - not that he’s better just that he’s in and around the six yard box a lot more, whereas Kane plays deeper whatever the system.

Sounds like there'll be one.

If Soloman is doing well in this system (not watching) then it also gives me high hopes for Gil. Similar size of player with good technique and dribbling. It's going to be really interesting to see how Ange shapes this squad. He could play Son up top if Kane leaves, he could move Kulusevski into the midfield 3 with the options we have out wide. Lots of good options in midfield and attack. Just need to sort this defence out which is such a major concern.

 

[Timberwolf]

Think Ange is going to have some very difficult decisions to make if these 2 games are any indication of which players suit his system best.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Winners of The Tiger Cup ..

You’ll never sing that !

 

[kitchen]

So we are saying the B team is actually our A team lol

Wouldn't surprise me if they've been beating the 'A' team in training. Certainly the 2nd half team looks better balanced and plays the better pass and move football...

That said, the weakness is counter attacks and we all know how good son and kane are at that...
