Spurs pre-season 2018

[sausage]

If they had any sense, they'd sack whoever did the team graphics - made no sense whatsoever...(again)

So number 0, Onomah started...No, I mean 27 Moura....no, wait, he's sat on the bench. What?

Still a reasonable chance we could win it only Chelsea arsenal juve Lyon can catch us. Personally think Chelsea will beat Arsenal. Lyon have to win all 3 unlikely. Not sure who juve play last maybe Chelsea ?

Oh juve play Madrid chances just got better. Not sure on this but think there are x2 trophies North America and Singapore and Chelsea/Arsenal are in Singapore side therefore I think I’d be right in saying juve are realistically only team that can stop us winning a trophy woohoo ?

Just spotted KWP was named man of the match. Again.

Three 1st team appearances
and been nominated MOM every time.
Great day for the Academy and our own.

Glad I stayed up to watch the majority of that game. Amos, Skipp and Eyoma all stood out for me. Particularly Eyoma as I hadn’t heard of him before and thought he had a real elegance about him (esp compared with CCV who has shades of Caulker about him imo).

Great little three games it’s turned out for us to have in the end!

Beat a good Milan. George strikes a good goal. Maybe he'll have a good season

For a 17 year old, Skipp looks fantastic.

So composed isn't he? I'd be very tempted to start him in our first League Cup game and see if he looks as composed as he has done so far. Very impressed.

Fake news!

Fake news!

I just like how ruthless Levy is (if it were true) - wrecking some kids hopes and hitting him with a few contact extensions on deadline day

 

[danielneeds]

I too stayed up. The kids were all great, particularly Skipp and Amos.

What was worrying was how poor the front three looked. GKN I don’t expect much from, but he took his goal well, and really should have had another, but his intelligence and physical strength is non-exsistent.

Lucas was probably worse, apart from a few cute touches he was nowhere. His movement off the ball is his biggest weakness, and I was hoping we’d see a big improvement on it, but so far he’s still not taking up the best positions to utilise his pace and skill.

Llorente had almost no decent crosses, and the one beauty he got from KWP, he inexplicably checked his run.

Haven't been able to watch any of this due to getting married and flying abroad but have used this thread to keep up to date so thanks everybody for the contributions. I hope to see Amos and Skipp play some role in our season, and I was already excited about KWP who I think is at a level that would justify cutting our losses on Aurier from now.

 

[DJS]

Loving KWP showing what he can do against against Milan, really hope he gets the nod as starting right-back / wing back for this season.

 

[hughy]

Pre-season has gone just about as well as it could have so far, considering you could make a fantastic starting 11 out of the players we are missing.

Might have already been asked, but when do the Belgians/English/WC2018 Winning Captain (I still love the sound of that) return to training?

Congrats BBLG.

They're all back on Monday.

You mean in pre-season?

 

[coys200]

So many pluses from the kids this tour virtually all have showed they can step into top level if needed. Remember Roma and AC Milan were virtually full squads. Don’t underplay these performances. In the past we’ve seen kids have good pre seasons. But there’s something more rounded about these kids they look technically better and just more professional.

I found this quote interesting.

“My feeling now is on one side disappointed that some players got injured and I'm sad about that, but of course happy for many young players who stepped up and behaved very well on and off the pitch," Pochettino said.

Im taking it he means that they were very professional off the pitch and took everything seriously. That kind of thing is music to poch’s ears. Would explain why some are on the tour and others aren’t too.

Yeap, unlike say Kenedy when at Chelsea

Did anyone spot who wore the armband second half after Vorm went off?

 

[nicdic]

I *think* it was Sanchez?

Llorente. Then he gave it to Eriksen when going off.
