Spurs Youth Thread 23/24

Saw Vuskovic made his first start for Radomiak but they lost 4-0. Their keeper got sent off after 31 minutes conceding a penalty which was scored to make it 2-0. Only going off the Sky Sports app though.

Is max Robson just a squad filler or is he good enough to be in the first team squad?

I was a big fan of his before he joined the academy full-time. He was such an intelligent player who had that Harry Kane/Christian Ericksen ability to be playing up front, in the 10, in central midfield and out wide all at the same time. He hasn't really developed at the rate I thought he would, he's also not got that much bigger or stronger which may have stalled his development as well as the other lads have filled out more. There was a time when I thought with a good growth spirt he might be converted into a creative centre forward but right now we're looking at someone who's probably going to be a decent utility player for a league two side, not dissimilar to Joe Pritchard who left us a versatile midfielder and has made a good career for himself at League two Accrington playing as their number 10. We're obviously trying things with Robson because we've had him playing in the inverted right wing back position for the U23s and he does some nice things but he'd get absolutely butchered playing in the Premier League.

Cheers for the insane detail. So there's zero chance he will be on the bench as Emersons back up?

Surely it would make more sense to have Ashcroft rb, jsb rw and sess lb? Unless there’s a mistake in how they’ve listed the team

Yeah that would make much more sense

Not on SpursPlay? Shame

 

[RickyVilla]

Ouch 4-0

Not on SpursPlay? Shame

Because our U18s are on Spursplay instead. Probably best they weren't though, we're now 4-0 down.

4-1. Ajayi.

Oh boy - Sessegnon injured again

Phillips looks good, Devine decent with his touches so far but the winger on his side is terrible and never gives him the ball early so he can have any space
