Match Threads Spurs vs Ipswich - Match Thread - Pre-season Friendly

[ardiles]

I hope José gives Foyth a chance, at least until the next TW, to see if he can make it.

I signed up before the deadline and didn’t get a code ?

Neither did I. I emailed [email protected] and they sent me one this morning. I sent my crn number in the email.

Think we are looking at the champions here lads ???

I dunno about that. I mean Ipswich and sunderland are the biggest teams there, but league 1 is quite competitive these days.

Already done that and I can log in - but the stream won't load.

The stream wouldn't load on my mac Neon but it is working fine on my iPad and phone.

Lovely ball from Foyth. He's a really good footballer - just a shame he makes so many errors.

Has looked a bit suspect a couple of times already.

Dele playing well. He just needs to work on his shooting

Would like to see Gedson at CM.

Really not sure what his position is at all.

Cheers buddy - I’ll try that before the next game

Dele could have a huge season for us. Everything goes through him when he's on form like this.

Some great bits of play and awareness.

 

[C0YS]

We always looks pretty shit when we played 3 at the back last year but it's working well today. No doubt this is largely down to the quality of the opposition, but would be good to have some other systems in our locker that bring out the best of players like Gedson and Sess.

The other thing is this is more like a Conte 3 at the back rather than the Bielsa styled one Poch liked. No patient building from the back, we play forward quickly and don't leave us exposed. So its the same formation but very different system.

Dele looking very determined, if he can stay healthy he's gonna have a big bounce back season.

 

[St José Dominguez]

Dele not being an automatic starter could be just what he needed. Admittedly a friendly but he looks extremely fired up, good signs.

Always looks quite frustrated though.

Agreed, although I seem to recall Jose tried a back 3 a couple of times too, and it looked pretty shite. Can't remember which games, though.

 

[Pochemon94]

Gedson doesn't look half bad in this Aurier style RW/RB role. He hasn't been tested defensively at all and against super weak opposition, but I wonder if this is who he might use out there for cup games

 

[C0YS]

Also, if we are thinking of going with three at the back, it explains why we are looking for another centre back, and looking at wing backs for right backs.

Yea I just don’t think he’s a CB or at least he’s still a few years away from the level he needs to be which is fair enough as he’s still very young but he just gives the ball away far far too often and makes too many mistakes and I’m not sure Jose will be willing to wait around for him to get up to speed

 

[Shadydan]

Hojbjerg has the playing style as Vertonghen, he's very upright and his tackling is scarily similar to him.

Tbf I would rather have a player who is always frustrated than a player who isn't. Feel like it speaks to the standard a player holds themselves and the team to
