The Spurs Youth Thread - 2018/19

[spurs9]

I wasn't really intending to make the comparison based on style of play but asking how people felt they compared in terms of ability at the same age, that said I don't see them as being massively different. they're of a similar height and build, both right-footers generally playing off the left with both always looking to get on the ball to make something happen, neither are especially quick so will always look to combine play rather than trying to run their opponent. shashoua's more of a dribbler and a bit more selfless than pritchard but I don't think they're worlds apart in most areas of the game.

malbanque isn't actually a bad shout @Locotoro, i certainly think he's more steed than the likes of moura, hazard and mahrez.

Fair enough (BTW wasn't having a go, just couldn't see what you meant), for me the biggest difference between the 2, is that I think Pritchard (or at least my memory of him) would rather receive the ball to feet out wide (sometimes static, sometimes running back) then cut in, where as Sashoua, will start wide but make a run into space in the middle into the box running onto the ball.

don't think it is.

maghoma pulls one back, apparently a rocket from 25 yards.

sounds like we're unlucky to be losing. 18 shots to 4, roles missed a pen and one of their goals took a big deflection. 10 mins left.

 

[coys200]

25yrd screamer top corner. Roles missed a pen as well.

 

[Blake Griffin]

2-2 brown in the 95th min!

 

[mark87]

2-2!

Is Jaden brown on an upward curve. Never seems to get spoken about much but seems to be having a good season.

Brown has taken a bit of stick over the last few seasons but he has always had the ability to score goals from fullback.

It is his pace and aggression that has impressed and he is starting to stay away from injuries.

Jaden Brown is like the Marcos Alonso of youth LBs, I absolutely love how liberal he is with his movement.

 

[edson]

One thing about Brown if you look at most of his goals they mainly come from inside the box so he is a fullback who will get in the box a lot more than most.

Talking of fullbacks Does anyone know if Nick Tsaroulla and Matt Lock have found new clubs yet because every time I look it is saying both without a club?

i vaguely remember reading somewhere that lock ended up in america, not sure where exactly though. as for tsaroulla i can only presume that he's unable to play anymore following his car accident? there's nothing on his twitter about being with a club from what i can see.

I love the rotation, off the ball movement and overlaps in that opening spell of possession. We do that better than any other side at this level that I think I've seen.

i like the challenge on reo at 28:25 not even being given as a foul lol.

this team plays some great stuff though and seemingly they've kicked on to another gear this season. looking forward to seeing how they do in the youth cup this year and wells with have some tough decisions over who to pick.

 

[coys200]

Speaking of Reos has Griffiths kicked a ball in anger yet for Lyon.

 

[coys200]

Griffiths will have a career at Championship level at worst. Basically because he’s big strong and scores goals. Whether he has the the technical ability to be a top player is up for debate. Although it hasn’t stopped Lukaku lol.

 

[Blake Griffin]

He is still out injured as posted by @Blake Griffin a few pages back,I was a bit shocked that a lot of people was not that bothered about Griffiths and yes the video he posted did not put him in a good light,Griffiths is a good Lad in my opinion and has never been a problem and was well liked by most of the players and scored so many goals for us at all age groups.

Sky Andrew has got away with getting and good player away from Spurs and nobody seems that bothered.

As for our u18s they have become a lot better side without Griffiths because they are not reliant on his goals like they was in the past and they have a lot more options in the goal scoring department.

Bottom line if Griffiths move does not go well he can always come back to the UK because there would be a lot of clubs interested in him I just hope the Scumbags are not one of them clubs if it ever was to happen.

was just looking for info on griffiths and found this:

Reo Griffiths: The very much talked about English prospect that Lyon signed from Tottenham, he has yet to play for his new club. It turns out that he had injured his knee and was essentially in rehabilitation these past few months. Thanks to Instagram, I can confirm that he has returned to training, so hopefully we’ll see him play in reserve matches soon.

that was from a couple of weeks ago so should see him playing again soon, bennetts has been injured as well since going to gladbach but has played the last few games for their reserves.
