Barcelona vs Tottenham Hotspur (Joan Gamper Cup) 19.00 Tonight

[muppetman]

A very decent turnout and what turned out to be a worthwhile friendly.

 

[chas vs dave]

Dier and Reguilon clearly nowhere near good enough and just do not fit how we are playing now. Tiredness got us in the end there but overall a very good performance.

They were fine, until around 75 minutes. Fully understandable since they've had a lack of minutes.

 

[Real_madyidd]

Are people blaming Dier for the last one? I don't know who's man that was, but it was either CB

 

[Tonio]

On here?

Did you ever bring your teacher an apple? Just out of interest.

 

[JKendall13]

Playing great football with a few shambles at the back to remind the leadership we still need to buy a few defenders.... ideal result!

 

[RuskyM]

Best thing for us, to be honest. A positive showing of what we can do and a sign the players are all buying in, and signs that we're not there yet.

He pulled up injured. Do you guys even watch???

There has to be fault, for some reason.

 

[glacierSpurs]

The jury is still out on Vicario IMO.

Not many keepers can save those goals. His reactionary svaes has been very good. And he's never short of confidence. He will come good for us and I see his frustration at conceding. I don't see his mentality easily shot.

 

[rossdapep]

Yeah I have to admit I was totally surprised at that as he came with such a big reputation yet he really struggled in tight spaces and whenever he passed inside he lacked so much control with it.

the only player i really want rid of is reguilon. so bad every time i see him. can't pass, can't cross. good at running, though

 

[robotsonic]

That fucker on the far side is like 15 or something. Absolutely incredible.

He's definitely the little wanker at school that they all hate playing against.

 

[Impspur1]

Very happy with that.

So much to be encouraged about.

 

[HildoSpur]

Spence is a disgrace! Gave up tracking for Barca third when he lost possession up field and where was he for the fourth goal???

He just doesn't have the desire and work rate unfortunately

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Probably cant judge a keeper with that defence.

He basically had no protection with every goal they scored lol

 

[SpartanSpur]

Meh about the result, really really decent showing from our B and C team players.

Taking so many positives from this. Played a near Barca A team with the second string and sounds like we were the better side for a lot of it.

Was worried how Ange's style would pan out against better quality opposition and it genuinely held its own by the sounds of it.

Quite the turnaround after just a few weeks of training.

Happier with this than a scrappy 1-0 win.

 

[KILLA_SIN]

Need another CB, VDV will help in covering back but we need another solid CB

 

[cjbyid]

Nice to watch. Minutes in the legs. All that matters.

 

[razzmaster]

That young lad down the right looks absolute mustard. He’s got Reguilon on toast.

Ridiculous ability for someone who has only just turned 16

 

[sidford]

He pulled up injured. Do you guys even watch???

He was done for 3rd goal and was repeatedly done outside of that. If you checked when I posted that it was before the 4th

 

[taidgh]

He pulled up injured. Do you guys even watch???

Yeah, I always act injured when i've been done as well. He's fine.

 

[JoaoPereira]

Sanchez had a great game imo

had a great game correcting his own positional mistakes. the classic heroic clearance off awful footballing. not good enough even though the rest of the backline was painfully worse.

 

[WiganSpur]

The last 15 minutes was shambolic, probably a reflection of the shambolic pre-season preparation.
