Player Watch Player Watch: Ryan Sessegnon

[yankspurs]

he'll be more useful away from home when he has more space to work with.

He had some good moments today and i noticed him getting into some channels but we didnt have a midfield and couldnt pass the ball. Would have liked to see him still on the pitch when Eriksen and Lo Celso were on. He would have had alot more of the ball had some good opportunities.

 

[SpursTillIDie1882]

Play Sess on the left and Son on the right with the occasional switch of wings works for me as I see Moura as too much of a risk as he goes missing too often ;having said that if you could guarantee the Moura of the Bolton Game then he is fine unfortunately you cannot.

Agree thats Mouras issue and its not just now it was before when Poch was here too, hence Poch not playing him week in week out as he becomes a liability to the team as not contributing anything when he goes missing alot which unbalances the team.

 

[pelayo59]

Good that he played that 45min at LB

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Thought he looked good at LB, that's his position imo.

 

[ClintEastwould]

It seemed like his only remit once at LB was to take a touch and return it to his passer.

 

[alexis]

Decent enough today

 

[Montalbano]

Would like to see him attempt to take a player on.

 

[fortworthspur]

give the kid time

Agree.wasn’t tested defensively put played a couple of incisive passes and looked like a willing runner. Would like to see more of him there tbh

 

[jonnyp]

He has the pace to cause problems, but today he unfortunately didn't utilize it any meaningful way but far from our worst player

He doesn't do it and never has even when playing as a winger. He is passing left sided player which is slightly bizzare for someone with his natural attributes. I think it is something that can be changed with more aggressive coaching

 

[bubble07]

I said it before and got stick for it but he isnt good enough cover for Son

Think he needs to play left back

Needs to see the pitch in front of him I agree. He's got a good knack of arriving in the box to grab goals and I don't think he's best asset is facing up with defenders. I think he'd be be better at hugging the touch line but running into the penalty area when crosses come from the other side.

 

[bubble07]

He is a straight line player with great composure when crossing and shooting but hasnt got the trickery to beat players regularly as a wide forward needs. Left back is his position. Vertonghen looking leggy

Needs to learn how to dribble and take the defender on to get to the byline or into the box.

And needs to learn how to cross the ball.

All Sessengnon did was get the ball. Face up to his opponent for a couple of seconds, then immediately check back. He killed pretty much all forward momentum Spurs was trying to generate on left side.

Basics then aye?

This is a very sensitive subject and we should all tread lightly.

You do all realise how fucking fast Max Aarons is don't you? Unless you're already 5 yards in behind him he won't get beaten for pace. Smart play from Sess if you ask me and absolutely no chance of getting a ball in behind a defender with how deep Norwich were.

 

[For the love of Spurs]

I don’t think he is good enough to be Son’s replacement/cover right now but his ceiling at left back is really high. He is quick and can pass well and gets up and down really well, if his defending is decent enough we could have one of the best full backs in the league, also means we don’t have to spend on that position with him and Davies.

Watch him in the play off final against Villa and there was three or four times he had great opportunities to run at Elmohomady and took the easy option every time. Since then every time I have watched him whether for Fulham or Under 21s he is clearly not comfortable attacking the space with the ball however something that can be added to his game over the next few years.

He just wasn’t very good yesterday and fair enough. Also our players stopped passing to him.

I was happy see him moved to LB and thought he did better in that position.
