Was watching first half alongside U23 match, at HT and since full time so haven’t been paying full attention, but Onomah’s looked good to me. 7 dribbles which is Dembele levels. Has made some great surging runs forward and has created some chances too; nearly created a goal with a wonderful cross which should have been buried.
Can see what they were doing - Whelan there as a stopper, Onomah and Grealish there to break forward with the loose balls - but I totally agree, he has more control playing deeper.agree, was still playing too far forward for me but on the whole he did well, improved in the 2nd half too as he usually does.
It's just his style. He hangs back a little and still has the athleticism to beat opponents to the ball. Rather than rush in and potentially lose a 50/50, he's able to delay for a moment, decide whether he can make it, and then either go forward and toe-poke or hang back and cover ground.Onomah was better 2nd half. It’s there just needs more energy.

Fair enough, I wasn't really paying attention first half as I was watching the U23s on my laptop.I get what your saying windy. But honestly 1st half he really was strolling around. Definitely upped tempo 2 nd half.
That’s one I really don’t understand Roles is one of the most technically gifted players in the u23 , he certainly knows where the goal is , I can’t see why they holding him back . They seem to be doing the same with shaushoa . Spurs seem to be playing other boys over them , that are nowhere near Roles and shaushoa calibreWhat's the situation with Roles these days?
Scored lots of goals from midfield last year but game time limited this season. Was likened to Dele - do you guys see a future for him at Spurs ( not withstanding fact that IG reckons all youth should leave as none will breakthrough).
Totally agreee race has absoloutley nothing to do with it . He is a terrific little player , but he has to sort his attitudeWTF has that got to do with it? I don’t think his race has been mentioned once in this thread. I can’t believe it’s on anyone’s mind.
What’s on people’s minds is that they are worried/annoyed that it seems like a really talented player from our academy seems to not be living up to his potential for whatever reason, which isn’t 100% clear. That’s beyond obvious isn’t it.
Just checked in on Oduwa at NK Olimpija. 2 goals and 2 assists in 808 minutes: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nathan-oduwa/leistungsdaten/spieler/240355

i do not know what poch sees in him , he just doesn’t cut it for me , but having said that he was a bit better today then when I have previously seen himControversial, perhaps, but I don’t think TOB is much better at this level either.
