WInks was very good and made a real difference when he came on, really quick on the ball, very crisp passing and also worked hard defensively. A lot more zip than Mason, ought to be ahead of him in the pecking order.

CCV, didn't have that much to do, and coped with Inter's attacks on the most part, but was a bit sloppy. Often lost the ball, and on one occasion had a Stones moment, but he was saved by the referee who deemed it a foul. Not sure he is ready for the intensity of PL football yet.

Harrison was bright when he came on, took his goal well, but didn't really have enough time for me to really make a judgment.

Edwards didn't see much of the ball, always looked to attack and had a good dribble or two but never found his man.

Agree with everything here.

Too soon for CCV.

Seriously think if Wimmer isn't fit I would drop Dier into CB and play Wanyama and Winks in the double pivot for Everton.

WOW.... and that was "supposedly" a friendly.
Great game for neutrals had all they could wish for.
For us Spurs fans I can only say how good the TEAM looked and Poch must have been really pleased.

Keeping my expectations low but good signs in that game.

"often"? I thought he looked good with the ball, very composed, and his teammates never shied away from passing him the ball. If I had to quibble with any of his game today it would have been positioning - but that will come with time. I don't think he looked out of place at all - and for a 4th CB, I think we were smart to save our money and not bring someone in.
I think he looked good on the ball in the sense he looked technically accomplished, but I still think his passing often lead to the opposition gaining the ball in the final third of the pitch. Which in a full paced game could of cost us. He is definitely a talent but still looks a fair bit off the first team.

Lets be clear there is a difference between looking 'in place' in a friendly match against a team who is a week behind us in preparations for the next season and being solid in a full hearted match against an everton side with a lot of pace and an ability to punish any slip up.

Thought we were at our best in the first 30 mins of the 2nd half, which if Poch thinks the same might give him a few headaches for the Everton game.

That gives Poch a massive selection headache. Who's going to start at Everton? There are probably 15 players that should feel like they deserve to start. A great problem to have.

Surely CCV has to play though. Wimmer and Jan haven't played a single minute in the last few weeks so it would be a massive ask to chuck them straight in for the first game of the season. Also, CCV probably deserves it; he's been calm, composed and defended well.

The only thing disappoint about the match was the number of empty seats. Surprise that a match between two of the leading European sides can't fill up the stadium.

Good match to "end" our televised preseason friendlies. Think we might have another close door friendly. But overall a very good result for us, a really boost before the hardwork starts.

COYS!

£50 odd for a ticket apparently. Not a chance I'd pay that for a preseason friendly so don't blame the locals that also refused to do so.

So what happened?! Had a look on here after half hour and it was suicide watch, checked back at end and it's a happy orgy.

I was there today. Kane and Lamela was best in first half. Janssen very good in second. Winks impressed too..Not so sure on Carter-Vickers...Team looking good! Toby was rock solid!

Janssen looks like a pain in the arse for defenders. Him and Wanyama are going to give us a lot of options this season. Perfect signings at reasonable prices.

Watched on +1 after work. Loved every second of that! Our Euro boys look ready already. Knew Poch would not have an issue getting the England boys heads right after that tournament. Janssen looks quality and able to hold up the ball with ease. Lamela adding to his confidence further, quality goal and a couple assists. Kane two goals. Alli class link up and goal. Even Harrison got a goal!

Every goal was quality in its own right, even the penalty was well taken by Harry.

All round I'm pleased. Ready and much more confident going into next weekend against Everton. COYS!

Does anyone know where I could watch a repetition of the whole match?

Very nice to read so many positive comments about the performance. :)

He really is superb at keeping the ball moving. This is a must in our system.
I agree from last seasons friendlies to this year winks looks the nuts, seems a perfect partner for Dier as well imo they balance very well
