The Spurs Youth Thread – 2016/2017

[THFCSPURS19]

Like Alli falls over a lot you mean, especially when he's played out of position as a wide am ?

There was no need to bring Alli up.

 

[guy]

The Spurs website says he is 1.76m and weight 61kg - it would be a bit weird to just make that up. He's extremely slight but he doesn't look as short as Lennon does.

He's tiny, like Lennon but much much slighter

 

[Blake Griffin]

1-0 shashoua

2-0 shashoua (pen)

3-0 roles

4-0 roles

4-1 - we concede this kind of goal a lot

4-2

5-2 roles

6-2 sterling

Yes we do, like I say I reckons a 3rd of our goals are passing out from back errors

I don't mind that too much, rather we are developing defenders that can play football and they make these mistakes and hopefully learn from them now.

100% agree but I feel people see results or goals conceded and assume we are being outplayed or defending is poor etc. there aren't many times we get cut open.

The GK dive for 4-2 at the end of the video is quite amusing.

Don't think Omalabi has played yet, but assume its got something to do with the FAYC match on Wednesday. He won't play other more important players will.

On that note anyone going?

Shillow Tracey must've read the comments Poch made about Sissoko , he has 2 goals so far. Tied at 2-2.

Actually said before he actually reminds me of Sissoko in his style. Glad to see him get a couple of goals. Like Sissoko if he played his best there's a good player in there that useful, however like Sissoko he doesn't do it enough and he ultimately lacks the technique/ability of our other players

[DEFchenkOE]

I see Roles scored a hat-trick last game, has he been scoring lots of goals still as he was doing in the u16s etc?? Seems to have a great knack of being in the box, right place right time.

On another note, seems like another bad loan for Oduwa. Hasn't been on the bench for a while at Pboro and I think he might as well be recalled. Unless he's injured?

Just seen an article where we lost a youth player, Kirby, as scummy Chelsea were tapping him up (shocker!).

He's now at Crystal Palace, what a prick lol.

Article was saying we were going to get him training with squad etc and had high hopes for him, sad that a player wants to leave us for Chelsea as can only be for money as their record of brining youth through is atrocious.

Dont think this is exactly how it panned out, its been discussed at depth in this thread.

He wanted a fast track to first team football that would obviously be easier at team like palace.

While I'm willing to give the lad the benefit of the doubt I think what rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way was that he trialled with Chelski and the Gooners after leaving us. Not the first two places that come to mind when you think of homegrown youth getting a chance. He's gone. Good luck to him. I'm only interested in people who want to play for my club.

We should report them anyway if they're guilty otherwise we're out of pocket either way!

 

[EQP]

Already up 2-0 , sterling both goals.

 

[IGSpur]

Sterling should have 5, Duncan should have a couple aswell. Bennetts was so good in the assist for the 3rd goal was involved in a lot of it including two nice pieces of skill to get the assist.
Playing really well however we're a bit lax. quite a few misplaced passes under zero pressure have invited them onto us a couple of times.

Winks and CCV behind me watching
