OMT - Tottenham Hotspur vs PSG

[Bishop]

Eze is better than Khanous
You choose the better player surely

I guess it will come down to potential versus right now. We've tended to lean more into potential purchases over players for the right now. Also if Savio is going to be north of £70m off there might not be the money left over to also buy Eze and given the choice I think long term this season LW is probably more critical and Savinho has a massive potential upside.

I think everyone is being a tad harsh on Tel, he is only a young lad and you lot are using him as a scape ggoat already. I’m not his biggest fan but come on chaps, he is a young lad. He is going to get enough stick on social media he doesn’t need it from a forum that i feel is full of respected Spurs fans.

Fuuuuxk! This was fuxking annoying! More annoying than I thought. Bloody hell it's frustrating that we gave this up!

Agreed. I didn't give a fudge when it started, but really annoyed when we lost that. But look at the players they subbed on. They are stacked with pro players on the bench - we are not. Thought we looked good anyway. On to the next.

It was a good performance, but we were knackered at 60 and poor by 70 onwards.

Huge questions if we’re knackered by 60 mins.

 

[Bishop]

Frank picked a semi fit solanke and Tel over him to see out the game, he obviously doesn't trust him.

What pray tell would Johnson have done if he came on? He has no hold up game to speak of, can't dribble either. At best he would have done basically what Tel and Solanke ended up doing. I'm no fan of Johnson but that situation was not the time for him.

 

[billyiddo]

He has a very very good pen save percentage

I'd be interested to see the numbers because as I say last time it came up I think it was shown he was below average

Still pre season and they pressed their socks off. Thats how you utilise 5 subs nowadays. Our subs just weren’t good enough.

I think people don't take into account there is also another side wanting to play and win and they are the Champions of Europe. The first X1 were knackered because they worked harder than needed to nullify the quality in oppo, then their subs are better than ours because of depth, which we all know because its been debated for months on here and they are PSG and we are Spurs..

They are technically so much better.........that supersedes fitness


Its not rocket science

Football fans will comment on what they see, but nobody deserves abuse.

However, I’m pretty comfortable in saying I haven’t seen any tools that I think will make him a success in the premier league, apart from the fact he has a really good attitude.

He had about 15-20 games last season and in his highlight reel when signing permanent there was a real lack of actual quality moments. Maybe I’m forgetting some.

He did have a really good spell at Bayern but I’m not seeing electric pace, nor skill like Kudus, nor any good finishing. His use of the ball has been ok.

I’m unsure what sort of winger he is. Because from what I saw last year he isn’t a striker either.

And let me reiterate - constructive criticism or discussion is fine. Abuse is not.

I think Tel has the right manager in TF to bring the best out of him. It may still not be enough but surely it's too early to judge? TF converted both Mbeumo and Watkins from left wingers to play more centrally, so he has form. Let's wait and see and give the lad our support.

We didn’t use our 5 subs. Only 4.

PSG are a week into pre-season after a ridiculous summer. There’s absolutely zero way they should be fitter than us.

 

[Lilbaz]

Seen nothing from him to make me think he is a better option than Moore. Deserves the abuse joke of a player

Wtf is wrong with you? He's not bissouma turning up late for training. He's a young player that seems to want to do the best for our club.

Maybe try and support him.

 

[Grays_1890]

I think we need to improve on Vicario and Tel, but if you are blaming them for tonight, like the kids say...............give your heads a wobble

 

[indospurs]

Should have used Johnson, not Tel imho

 

[markysimmo]

Danso's long throws were decent and gave us something different
Not sure who does them if he isn't on the pitch though

 

[Mulletperm]

Frank to the subs:
"Go out there and stuff it up or Levy will close his cheque book"

 

[markysimmo]

Tottenham bank £3.4m after Super Cup loss​

UEFA handed both Tottenham and PSG a sum of £3.4m just for taking part in the Super Cup.

An additional £900,000 prize – less than Chelsea earned for a single FIFA Club World Cup win – is then set aside for the winners, so PSG will take £4.3m back to the Parc des Princes

I'd never seen him prior to our interest and having watched a couple of scouting videos in Jan i had the opinion he was very much a work in progress player and not an elite prospect by any measure. I was not keen on signing him after his loan spell but realise that was an opinion based on not much evidence - the club signed him and so he needs to be given the time now to show what he can do.

I'd say Johnson instead of solanke tbh, through the middle on the shoulder of the last man and running onto through balls or clearances.
Solanke did not look ready.

So what are you saying? TF is not up to it?

I’ll cheer him loudly on Saturday. And I bare no grudge for tonight - I actually applaud him for stepping up.

I can still observe that I don’t see the required skill set. I actually rate Odobert higher and think he’s a much better ball carrier and maybe would have been a better shout tonight.

If Tel has 15-20 goals by the end of the season I’d be delighted for him
