As far as I can tell he's very much a solid defender of a CB, far from a LB. But what a ridiculous statement about a 16 year old.

Did I just hear that right, all U21 and U18 games are going to be live on Spurs TV from now on ?

Highlights of I think he said.
I can only go by what I've seen today and he has been nothing short of awful. His positioning is awful, he cost us a goal, bad decision making, he can't attack. I can go on

So, you're judging him after one game?

He isn't a left back, and he's playing his third or fourth game at this level. You saw him for less than half an hour and you think you're qualified to make statements like this?

Without exception the worst post I have seen in almost five years on this forum.

He's aged 16 - so most of the players he's playing with and against are 3 or 4 years older than him.
Let me repeat he's a 16 year old playing against players generally aged 19 or 20.
He's a CB playing in a secondary position as LB
The reason he's playing is to aid his development - he's a big (but talented) lad at his age group, he's being given 20 minutes at u21 level so that his physical development is not the advantage is when he's playing u18's - he#s having to learn and adapt, good test for him.
By the way just go back and read the crap that Harry Kane got at aged 17 playing against Hearts on his debut - now think what idiots those posters were.
What the actual fuck?

It's comments like that and the previous one that will make THFC think twice about live streaming of U-21 or U-18 matches in thew future.
Academy games are part of the learning process for young players and in this case it was a 16-year old playing at U-21 level.

You probably shouldn't watch youth football.
This is the issue that streaming U18 and U21 football can have a negative impact on,
people get on the back of players at a very young age when they aren't supposed to perform but develop.
I had to convince a lot of people that Harry Kane had a future, 90% of Spurs fans thought he was a clumsy clown

There are two RB's now playing for Spurs who aren't as good as Kyle Walker-Peters.

I missed todays game but saw Tanganga play against Schalke a couple of weeks ago. I thought he was great that day especially playing out of position, got an assist despite playing on his weaker side. Seeing as we're judging a player after less than 90 minutes playing against players 4-5 years his senior, I can say, with the utmost confidence, from what I saw vs Schalke he is indeed the black Maldini.
