The Spurs Youth Thread – 2016/2017

[Mouse!]

striker, his name is timmy abraham.

Father Abraham, had seven sons. Seven sons had father Abraham.

striker, his name is timmy abraham.

Ohhh, I thought he looked familiar, and now you say it it is so obvious. He seemed OK, got into a mini scuffle with Tanganga. I think JT 'accidentally' stepped on him and he started squaring up. Got taken off later though

Feel free to write up, you know your stuff and the more views the better.

Strange game in that we dominated but also misplaced sooo many passes.

Whiteman played I assume as Austin is on international duty. Did well

Hinds I think was undoubtedly one of our best players. His strength is in his natural intelligence of the game I think. Well weighted passes off either foot also in tight spaces. Good crossing and created a lot of chances. Overlaps well but probably more reserved than KWP. Aldo defends well.

Tanganga Missed game, his short passing was off, but his cross field balls off his left peg were impressive. Won everything in the air. Real animal

Marsh Had a decent game, impressive aerially considering his height

Brown I thought had a really good game, does well defensively and gets froward well linking up with Bennetts.

Skipp probalby had one of his poorest games I've seen for us. Was just an off day, but he was a second late to everything, not reacting well and his passing was well-off. No harm though as usually very good

Duncan I thought played really well. Carried the ball well, and is very stylish how he glides with it. Drops his shoulder well and links defence with attack

Roles. Excellent today. Doesn't do a lot in the middle of the park, but has an understanding of the game in the final third. Always there to finish off a chance and his assist for Shashoua was an excellent touch on. I love his needle. When we scored our 4th goal he ran back with the ball, with his arm reaching out as if to hand it to the other player, as the guy went to take it, he dropped it and kicked it away, and the player started pushing him. Hilarious, he is literally the academy Alli. Probably could do with improving the defensive side more but he isn't built like man yet. He is growing into his body and so his physique isn't quite there to do that. Club have shown faith and given a 3 year pro, along with a few others.

Bennetts I thought played really well. He was regularly beating his man and put in some godo balls, but also cut in and created a few chances for himself. Missed an absolute sitter but luckily was offside, he can be really inconsistent but yet there is still something in there I like

Shashoua - also had a good game. Some of the link up play between him Roles, Duncan adn Sterling was excellent. He holds his own as well and is quite strong. Excellent little dribbler, glad to see him back palying well

Sterling did his job well. He as strong, pacy and energetic, but also ability. Improving with his back to goal, and I think should have had a couple of more goals

Subs

Patterson gave a really good account of himself agian when he came off, as did Lock and Omalabi.

Fulham didn't play as well as I thought but they were missing, both Sessegnon's and O'Riley and have had 3 players from this age group poached unfortunately for them. Their RW looked exactly like Pritchard just not as good, not that he was bad. Thought I'd add

@edson how much did their sub striker look like Humphreys?

Thanks IG. How did they line up, formation and tactically etc. Cheers..

How did we do in the UEFA Youth thingy this year - I don't remember much about this. Did we go out early ?

Just watching the last 20 minutes of the program on BT about this years tournament.

we finished bottom of our group. sounds worse than it was though as all games were tight and a couple of them we were leading until late on etc, plus edwards getting injured didn't help. hopefully do better next season.

Is it Harvey Barnes playing for Leicester? If so he's been on loan at MK this season and was fantastic.

 

[Hoddle_Ledge]

Near post shot by Tracey well saved. Marcus Edwards biceps aren't big enough to hold up the black arm band for Ugo, he's asked for some tape.

 

[Hoddle_Ledge]

*Tape was for his oversized shirt which is now tied in a bun at the bottom.

0-1 Leicester bundled home from a poorly defended corner.

He just scored. Tap in mind.

 

[Hoddle_Ledge]

All Spurs so far second half. Edwards getting on the ball further up the field causing problems.

 

[Hoddle_Ledge]

The guy behind me is convinced Souleymane Couilbaly is playing upfront for Spurs.

 

[Hoddle_Ledge]

0-2 Leicester counter attack, striker found himself free in the box.

Glover sent off for hand ball outside the area. Leicester score resulting free kick 0-3.

My missus taught him in high school. Apparently an arrogant little oik but always recognised as a very good prospect, the pe staff felt he would reach the top even when very young.

Agree, he has looked very good at MK dons. I'm sure he will get a champ loan next year unless Lesta fast track him

Seemed a nice lad few times I spoke with him.

Yea I think it's the championship for him next year although I'd love him back at MK

Fantastic penalty and great dribble into the box. Looked like he may have dived to win it though, but hard to tell.

 

[Hoddle_Ledge]

Tap in for Leicester after a driven cross 0-4.

Followed by an amazing jinking run from Edwards, edge of the box in towards the penalty box and he was brought down, only thing the defender could do.

Edwards steps up and puts the ball in the roof of the net.

And with that kick a Marcus Edwards penalty is the last ever goal I'll see at White Hart Lane
