Spurs Youth Thread 23/24

How's the back going to line up there? I thought the under21s were playing the same as the first team. I know Sayers came to us as a left back, but he's been playing centre back, right? So is one of him, Dorrington or Ashley Phillips playing in midfield? With BLF on the left and Ashcroft on the right?

The way it's presented suggests 3/5 at the back though.

Guessing Sayers is at left back, with Donley playing the more floating 10 Maddison role. Something like:

Keeley
Ashcroft Phillips Dorrington Sayers
Craig BLF Donley
JSB Lankshear Santiago

Shit 3rd kits again. I hope this is the last time we have to see them.

How strong a side are Colchester playing. We look decent so far.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Spurs the better team early, but Colchester the more experienced team.

Im defo not seeing the inverted fullbacks in this game... I thought I read somewhere Ange was trying to get the same play throughout all the age groups at the club?

I don't think Ange has much input into the Academy - other than the added benefit of players being better prepared to step in if necessary.

I think, rather than specific tactics, there is a sense of playing on the front-foot and dominating possession.

It's deliberate. The U18's and U21's are playing and setting up exactly like the 1st team, which indicates Ange has been involved in implementing the change with the respective coaches and staff.

Lovely run by Soonsup-Bell there.

 

[taidgh]

Lankshear should have done better there. Great run by Soonsup-Bell.

Thats at least the 3rd shot that has been well over the crossbar. Spurs are getting into good positions, need to settle down and take their chances a bit better
