Spurs vs Chicago Fire

[thinktank]

lmao that guys is gonna straight-up deck rose anytime soon.

Dunno why Danny Rose has looked to knock the girl with the pigtails over every chance he's got. He's got to stop being so dirty/sloppy with his tackles.

 

[godemand]

Crowd flipping the bird to Rose... deserved

 

[JRegan]

Not suggesting anything but how much do you think we could get for Townsend lol, maybe that small blip he had for England might have boost his value up a bit so sell now

 

[Yid-ol]

Lamela is a year younger than Townsend, yet their footballing brains couldn't be further apart.

I know. Maybe in the next year lamela can learn to not pass and run into corners too

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

Havn't enjoyed this anywhere near as much as the first half against Toronto...pity we hadn't stuck with the eleven who started that....but its preseason...experimenting with combinations etc.

Hopefully that means the second is better, which the others weren'tweren't

 

[matthew.absurdum]

Mason has a really good game. Impressed.

 

[Bobbins]

Yeah, that's Pochettino's biggest worry, me noticing the same players doing the same stupid shit repeatedly, not the same players doing the same shit repeatedly.

Yeah because that's what I said

 

[charliemouse]

Townsend just does the same thing every time doesn't he, never looks up for a quick pass and goes off on a dribble where it inevitably ends on him losing on the ball.

I really can't see him fitting into Poch's team if he doesn't address this glaring fault in his game.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Told you. No mates. Go fuck off and support Millwall.

I'll just go back to Harrow Borough. Got beaten 5-1 by Arsenal XI today. No difference there then.

 

[JerryGarcia]

Love Lamela's movement, coming deep and waiting before making darting runs into the danger areas etc. Hopefully it will mean he won't go missing in games like Bale could sometimes (before he popped up with a wonder goal).

 

[SpurSince57]

Loving the fluidity of the positions when in possession.

Emperor's new clothes?

 

[thinktank]

It is. But it's a game crying out for eriksen and soldado more than Townsend and Kane.

Yeah, but the manager has gotta take a look at everyone.

I really liked watching that and how we dealt with it.

 

[theShiznit]

Oh Erik's gone and spoiled his performance by doing a pointless look the other way pass.

Wouldn't care if I never saw one of those again. One of the single most pointless things on a football pitch since Kevin Scott.

 

[Syn_13]

Not the most exiting half. Rose, despite his aggression, is pressing well. Mason is a tidy player, quite like him. Lamela very energetic but lacking players around him on his wavelength.

Townsend doesn't look to be learning. Still playing like a headless chicken.

 

[Strikeb4ck]

Mason and Lamela have been good. Maybe Rose too, positioning could be a bit better though.

Walker and Townsend have been very poor.

Everyone else has been very average, if that. Not a very good display.

 

[TickleSh1ts]

Mason best player of that half.

 

[Spursidol]

HT that's it for me - bed

 

[ilikeost]

Haha, I loved the battle between Rose and the dude with the ugly pigtails!

Overall I liked what I saw! Mason looks like a really decent player, looks a lot better than Carroll. Lamela looked bright again, Holtby looked good apart from a 10-15 minute spell where he misplaced a few easy passes.

The only negative part was Townsend, oh my... As soon as he gets the ball he either makes a way to hard pass or runs down a blind alley. At this moment I'd rather keep Lennon than Townsend.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Mason has a really good game. Impressed.

Tom Carroll's fucked.

 

[Mr Pink]

Praying he leaves Erik on. Eriksen for Holtby, and Soldado for Kane....surely.

But with Cabellos/Lennon/Falque as options, two of them will probably come on for Lamela and Townsend.
