Pre Season 2013

[Raziel]

I personally found that when Keane had time on the ball, he fudged it up. Unless it was a penalty, he was good from the spot. Whether it be a shot, a pass or a decision. But when he didn't have the time to think, he was deadly. He had great off the ball movement in his younger days too, but then he thought himself as a bit of a number 10 and for me that is where he went wrong.

Keane had good instincts, once the time allowed him to think vs. react, he often fluffed it. But make no mistake, he was a very good striker and for a few years served Spurs very well.

Management/team setup also affected Keane, he needed to be highest up the pitch (so he wouldn't try to be a number 10) and he needed a through ball at feet or over the shoulder (best volley I've seen consistently)

AVB lol also why does it seem that Defoe always seems to get centre viewing.

Is Caulker the tallest player we have? He looks huge in that picture.

these 3, plus David Silva, were on the same fight as the Spurs squad

nearest we are going to get to a couple of top strikers and a world class schemer in Silva .

good warm up game for both teams. AVB will be up for it against a proven coach with loads of cash, but in his first year.

Gomes is there. Hope he has recovered from injury.
Looks like AVB has his arm around (is it?) Ade? I thought everybody at the club hated him?

How many millions of talent on display in the Monaco game?

Here are some photos I took at training today.

Evening training was basically a few light running drills, followed by seven-a-sides and penalty training. Lloris was the only player to save any penalties, Brad and Gomes let a few soft ones in.

Thanks for posting those. That last one of AVB sitting on the ball is a good shot.
