Spurs Youth Thread 22/23

[Spurzinho]

We're dreadful. I can't sugar coat it. Our ball progression is non-existent.

 

[eddiebailey]

Even so, I don't think people quite appreciate just how bad estonia is and how little it actually means to be capped by them. It's clear he was/is a talent but him being capped for estonia doesnt mean much at all. Even their top players are journeymen who have failed to establish themselves in countries such as poland and scotland.

I mean estonia is a non footballing country with the population of Birmingham. Theyd struggle to get out of league 2.

The advantage of Paskotsi being an Estonian international is not so much the players he plays alongside as the players he gets to play against. Can only help his development and give him the chance to impress.

Devine scores, nice header off of a Mundle free kick.

 

[mark87]

Deserved goal

 

[Spurzinho]

What a surprise, we push up, get more aggressive and all of a sudden the entire match is turned on its head.

 

[mark87]

Should be ahead

 

[mark87]

Encouraging we're still pushing forward and trying to score again

 

[only1waddle]

Wow, Everton should have one back there..

 

[chrissivad]

That's an awful miss.
Open goal and it's not even close to the target.

Big let off for us

 

[mark87]

Almost a second goal.

 

[RickyVilla]

Decent first half I thought. Looking vulnerable on the break but good attacking. Special mention to Mundle and Devine. Looking good. If they keep up their development they could make it. The Mickeys have a pretty strong team out there with a couple of first teamers. Pleased with the performance so far. COYS

 

[MB31spurs]

I do like Santiago as well…

 

[Spurzinho]

If I had to rate them I'd go:

GK: Keeley (5) - should have been higher because of good sweeping up, but his gaff was pretty bad.
RWB: Robson (6) - Didn't do a ton but its a new role for him. One tremendous pass for a shot on goal.
RCB: Lyons-Foster (6) - Decent, no more. At 22 he needs to be making more of an impression.
LCB: Fagan Walcott (6) - Tidy, nothing spectacular.
LWB: Paskotski (6) - Similar to Robson.
HB: Craig (7) - A rock. Really imposed himself. Hard role to play. Centreback/Midfield destroyer/midfield playmaker.
CM: Cesay (6) - Decent. Got up and down. Worked hard. Good set-pieces.
MF: Divine (7) - Good. Linked play well. Got a goal. Good movement. Ready for something harder.
RW: Santiago (6) - Worked hard. Got bogged down by Everton's defensive numbers.
LW: Mundle (7) - Good. Caused a ton of problems down the left, despite two and three opponents constantly on him.
ST: Soonsup-Bell (5) - Found it hard going, you can tell he needs to develop his game when facing deeper defences.

Abbott: lively in midfield when he came on and had a chance to score after a lovely pass from Robson.
Williams: On for Soonsup-Bell. Didn't really have the time or space to do anything.

 

[RickyVilla]

Should have won that I reckon. Would like Sayers to get back in as I think he has a higher ceiling than Walcott and Lyons. Always been impressed when I have seen him.

 

[mark87]

No Donley or Moore...

Having a King in defence excites me. Anyone knows who this is?

Edit: Maeson King

@mark87

there is a photo of him in the link below when he joined

Also got Han Willhoft-King at the same time, so 2 kings

 

[mark87]

One up. Ajayi.

Sure, it'll be good for his development,but ultimately won't be a decisive factor in if he makes it or not. My point is there has been some hype around him based on something that isn't a testament to much of anything.

 

[mark87]

FT 1-0 win. Good result considering no Donley or Moore.

 

[Lilywhite Rose]

Great win today for 18’s when considering who was missing ???

- Mikey Moore is currently away on international duty with England.
