I see it now! Thanks. Did it turning around in the goals. Hopefully just a twist

Love how Richy and Bissouma are looking so sharp and eager in these videos, really hoping for massive successful seasons for the pair of them.

Really feel like Devine might be staying with us too as opposed to going out on loan, just a feeling

Based on watching early training videos - Dier will need to work on his passing to get into the XI.

It's not his accuracy - its the quickness that will hold him back. A lot of training videos showing quick one-touch passing from the defenders, with no time to think.

Dier very much like to think about where he is going with the ball, and hopefully Ange will train that out of him - know where you are going before you get the ball, and move it quickly.

Odd that he played CM with those flaws

Odd that he played CM with those flaws

I wonder if he has gotten “worse” over time. I imagine the Mourinho and Conte have drilled the mantra of “no mistakes” so often that player are more afraid of making a mistake than they are of making a play. I think it can be drilled out of him, but it will take some time.

I don't know, DM probably hides those flaws more than anywhere else on the pitch, especially if you've got good players in front and behind of you.

Yeah, as much as I was happy with both Jose and Conte when we got them, felt very positive about it all in fact but with the benefit of hindsight, neither did any of our players any good at all.

I think Dier can definitely pass constructively, but he's definitely been coached to be slower. His mantra for 3-4 years now has to be intentionally ponderous and pass side to side to his other CBs until he and we all fall asleep. Definitely an aspect of his play that I'm sure that he can improve on given actual impetus.

Did anyone watch the open training session earlier? I understand it's only training but how was it? Did anyone stand out and look sharp? Looking forward to the game tomorrow

Worth watching Chris Cowlin’s video for an overview, said Bissouma and Kane looked really sharp

The highlights looked good! Really nice crisp sharp fast passing movements and drills.

Bissouma looked very on it, Sonny and Solomon putting in some nice crosse, Richy and Kane both with some lovely finishes.

Interesting the teams that were put out and that a 3rd back 4 of : Spence, Dier, Rodon and White were doing a specific playing out from the back drill.

Looking forward to the match tomorrow. I’m guessing it’ll be 2 completely different XI’s in each half.

From the clips I’ve seen, and some of the articles about it:
Kane’s finishing was excellent

Bissouma and Richarlison looked sharp

Quick passing, and all out attack.

A separate set of defenders (Whiteman, Spence, Dier, Rodon, White) were workjng on quick passing out from the back.

Does certainly seem to be the right kind of vibe coming out from the camp, from the pressers to the interviews. Everyone seems very relaxed despite working hard. Ange seems to give less than a fuck about the magnitude of the job and is doing the pressers like he's been there for about 4 years. Maddison again seems to be speaking and coming across like he's been at the club for a long time (didn't occur to me that he's spent years being coached by Chris Davies, which can only surely help with integrating the squad to the coaching via the back door of their relationship with Maddison). Bissouma coming to the fore a bit with the players should bode well for him to have the season we all want from him. A lot of fluff coming from the squad about looking forward to playing attacking football.

All things pointing in the right direction, it seems. Looking forward to the match tomorrow if I can somehow watch a bit at work.

I like that Maddison N’Dombele Bissouma midfield. That is as skilful as they come, and would be very very press resistant. If there’s any midfielder that can pick up N’Dombele’s defensive slack, it’s Bissouma. But I think you’d probably need to have Royal and Ben Davies as the two inverted FBs, for more defensive solidity.

God help us with that 5

For the Aussies, you can watch the game on 10 Bold or 10 play, no need for SpursTV for this match.

I was in Bangkok with some friends last weekend, and ended up staying at a hotel that was owned by a guy who works for Channel 3 in Thailand.

He started talking about Spurs coming over this weekend, and I said I was gutted I'd booked flights before the dates were decided. Then, he offered me press passes for training on Saturday and the game vs Leicester on Sunday.

Ended up booking flights to go back to Bangkok Friday-Monday. Now I've just gotta try to get time off work

Appreciate that.

 

[Hotspur88]

Am I right in thinking you need to subscribe to a whole year for 45 quid to watch the West Ham game on Spurs TV, when it's free on West Ham TV?

Apologies if this has been discussed already. Didn't have time to read the whole thread.

It's not free on WHTV, it's £5.

 

[PaulThurston]

With the members discount Spursplay costs a fiver more than it did to get a one month subscription to Premier Sports a few years back with the bonus of all the academy games through the season.

And you would have to sit there knowing you were watching with a bunch of muppets
