Player Watch Player Watch: Pedro Porro

[spurmin]

Based on form right now and our first match, I'd start Porro right forward instead of Kulusevski.

I have a feeling that Kulusevski will become our next scapegoat.

I'm not scapegoating him, I just don't think he's been in good form through preseason and in the first game.

Not aimed at your post. Just around various threads that he could be next for our fans ire.

Is Romero available tomorrow after his concussion?

Shit isn’t he. We need to get rid asap

Check the Romero thread.

Absolutely mint. Second half faultless, especially defensively.

 

[SandroClegane]

Deserved a goal tonight. Excellent performance and adaptation to playing in a back 4.

 

[Rjayspur]

Really impressive player. So fast tough in tackle with controlled aggression. His attacking play is clearly top quality. The ball he played in behind utd for deki shows he has a good footballing brain too. I think him and royal gives us such a good choice to mix it up and have cover, rotate etc.

Best defensive display from him today in a spurs shirt.

 

[Quacky Mouse]

Terrified when I saw him starting at RB. Had a great game. Couldn't ask for more

 

[Rout-Ledge]

porro’s attacking output is phenomenal for a right back. If he can continue to play solidly defensively then we’ve got some player on our hands.

 

[allatsea]

I thought he couldn't defend ? Lovely all round performance yesterday.

 

[djhotspur]

Porro is way faster than Kulusevski. I find it hard to believe anyone would think otherwise.

Wouldn’t go that far. He’s not winger quick. His dribbling isn’t as good as kulus though so it swings in roundabouts

I mean first half he was out of position literally every time. We were lucky it was a very out of form garnacho. If it was rashford at left wing we would have been a few down st half time. He was much better second half.

Yeah he was terrible defensively first half but improved a lot in the second half.

 

[mad4madders]

Just to echo most people’s thoughts on here, he was clearly playing a roll yesterday that suited us in the final third. Defensively needs work but no denying the talent this lad has. Scored goals at Sporting outside the box and by bombing forward to support the attack. We just need to make sure our CBs tuck in when needed and hopefully will work

I'm not sure he was out of the position he'd been told to play though as both him and Udogie came inside and played more central. The old keeper cb's full/wingbacks V shape has gone in this system and like as not our two CB’s play through the middle now.

Yeah exactly this. People go so over the top with praise. Some many attacks came down his side because there was huge space first half.

There’s no way he’s being told that when we are defending in our own box. Plus there were times he was stood on rashford in the box when he had both cbs already on him leaving shaw or garnacho just completely open
