I thought he was very very good, started a bit slowly and looked a bit off fitness wise, but really grew in to the game.

I think he meant when has one of our WBs ever switched play like that. Certainly not seen Sess or Reggy hit one.
That's not quite true, I remember Royal playing a lovely cross field ball towards the end of last season.
Granted, he was on the wide left at the time (for some unknown reason!) and played it over to where he should have been but if I recall correctly, it did lead to a goal., ?

I think you are doing a disservice to Kulu who puts in some great crosses. Although admittedly we want out WBs to be doing that in a consistent manner and with Perisic we have one of the best in the game.

He does a good low drilled in ball like the one that was just a bit high for Richarlison. Reminds me of the type of ball Deki played for Kane at City. Its a controlled but pacey cross that strikers love to attack.

We're not great at getting on the end of crosses.
Kane is, but he’s probably just out practice receiving them when playing for spurs lol.

For England he’s headed in quite a few whipped in crosses.

Will be good to see Perisic playing a full match with our first choice front three.

Won’t play every game due to his age and his demanding the position is but he looks like a beast and he’s a phenomenal player, Sess will also learn a lot from him, fantastic exciting signing, one of the best LWB’s in the world the last few seasons and these days 33 is like the new 28/29 so plenty of life left in Ivan yet.

Baller and can’t wait to see him tearing it up.

Not only Sess but Spence will also learn from him bud, but great point

Still can't stop laughing at those two commentators - Like a couple of pissed old geezers in a pub
I seem to be different to the entire site on this. These are 2 Rangers people commentating on a preseason friendly on Rangers TV . Of course they don't know a whole lot about Spurs.
For me I thought they were respectful and tried to be fair ,tho understandably they were more interested in Rangers.

A ton of grief has been loaded on them on SC re their commentary, I don't understand it .

Can't wait for him and Bissouma to fully integrate into the team.

Perisic should help us unlock a lot of teams with his play. Him and Son down the left will be a nightmare to defend and with his delivery from left and Kulusevski out right, Kane should have much better service from the start of this season

No probs, everyone to their own opinion.

For me they were uninspiring, very monotone and I wasn't referring to their Spurs interpretations just the overall set-up seemed very amateur and lacklustre.

I really appreciate how seriously Perisic is taking his mentoring role. All of our wingbacks can learn a lot from him.


Spence admitted that not long before the interview in Haifa began, Perisic had taken him aside and spoke to him after the game against Roma, in which the young wide man was one of six players who did not get any match action.

"I spoke to Ivan just then," he said. "He told me my chance will come, just be ready, train hard, when you get your chance do well and hopefully you'll stay in the team."

Spence impressed last season against Premier League opposition in the FA Cup such as Arsenal, Leicester and Liverpool with Spurs' managing director of football Fabio Paratici watching him in person and having been impressed by the up and coming wing-back.

Only thing I will say is, I don’t like how high he stands constantly. A few times we came left and there was no passing option as he was playing on the should of the defender. He needs to mix it up more, he’ll also get caught out in the league if he attacks so high constantly

Made several diagonal runs ( like Sonny does) soon after coming on, but none of the defenders were looking to find him.
I think he will be great for us.

If anything, I hate how deep our WB's have been starting these past 9 months, it's made them easy to defend against. Emerson was very high and wide when Hojbjerg slid the ball out to him in the build up to the fourth. Sessegnons disallowed goal saw him right up on the fullbacks shoulder.
