Match Threads Pre Season: Colchester Vs Spurs: Match Thread

[freeeki]

I think Nuno and team might be asking Paskotsi to consider changing his position permanently tbh

Loving Skipp, just everything we lacked from any of our midfield last season that weren't called Pierre.

The two together will absolutely dominate.

Another goal from a move starting with a Winks attacking pass. He's not the greatest I know, but I don't get the hate...

 

[spursfan77]

Does it looks like Winks is trying more forward passes and through balls?

From tonight he looks like he’s the same as last season and needs to be sold. Skipp already the better player.

edit: saying that, if it was a choice between keeping him or Sissoko it is him all day.

 

[coy-spurs1882]

this one is a foul but the tackle against bergwijn was not? this ref...

 

[SpursSince1980]

Playing out of position too.

What's his normal position?

 

[glacierSpurs]

Skipps plays like Kroos. Fucking hell amazing.

 

[bsinghd]

Skipp has shown he’s got bags of quality and is an intelligent player, but also the physical attributes to run our midfield. Complete contrast to Winks who is just dog shite

 

[coy-spurs1882]

What's his normal position?

CB

 

[SpursSince1980]

Does anyone have a sense of what formation we're playing?

 

[martinj]

How many times has winks given the ball away?

Does it looks like Winks is trying more forward passes and through balls?

Yes, certainly more than any point last season. Be interesting if we see more of the early potential he showed when he first broke through, or of he resorts back to sideways passing.

I think playing alongside sissoko in a CM 2 and instructions under mourinho didn't help him, but he has a long way to go to win fans back over.

 

[mark87]

What's his normal position?

Centre Back.

 

[Shadydan]

Skipps plays like Kroos. Fucking hell amazing.

More like De Jong

 

[freeeki]

What's his normal position?

Centre back. It’s where he plays for Estonia too.

Does it looks like Winks is trying more forward passes and through balls?

I've noticed him receiving the ball, turning and looking for upfield passes more in this match than his previous 5 put together I think.

Seeing us actually play football is music to my eyes.

 

[InOffMeLeftShin]

It's noticeable how much higher Skipp is getting than Winks and he never stops moving and trying to get into different spots. He has been the dominant player of the half which is impressive considering he has been hurt most of the summer.

 

[coy-spurs1882]

at least he is not hiding behind opponents now

 

[glacierSpurs]

I hope for Winks to be sold so Skipp can have the no. 8 jersey.

I really like this formation we're playing under Nuno
