Rogers, Caicedo, Lacroix, Enzo, James, Penders, not in the squad. Potentially Scott, Wharton and a new LB to join the team.

This game should be noted for exactly what it is - player conditioning exercise, tactical understanding/deployment , and overall personnel evaluation for team management.

Plenty of the man dem are going out on loan/out of the club.

We had the numerical advantage but did shishi with it and it doesn't change the fact that season starts pretty soon.
But again, yes, it's pre-season. Ko ju be lo.

If it's of any comfort, Birmingham beat Barcelona just recently

Ok it's pre-season but not that much time left to get the team ready for the season.

Tel dey worry gan o

Enzo5:
This gittens is good but at times he lacks the drive when the opportunity arrives

What are you saying?
He's created 2/3 chances already and mostly trying to drive into the box.
I think he's doing quite OK so far. Obviously room for improvement but doing OK.

Tonali overplaying though not sure why ref no blow , regardless Estevao suppose score that ball 🙃

Sportsweb:
Palestra na Arnold pro Max... Defensively he is shaky o

Yet to even see his attacking input but hoping he's just adjusting and will come good.

Man. Even Robertson having a go at Palestra.

Well there's no reason we shouldn't win this.

Aaah! That was CLOSE!

Fantastic save by Kinski.

Pedro though, man on a mission

Oops. No one saw that coming.😆

Enzo5:
seem like they don't want to tackle or cause foul.

Tel has been good even when that right is choked, he sha finds space to boost forward. Watching him and wishing gittens could do something like that

They are to stop Tel before he gets into the box.
Gittens had a very decent 45 mins capped with a beautiful assist.

Tel has predominantly played on the left side for Spurs tormenting Palestra and Fofana. They need to stop that moving forward.

popizaino:
Why can't Hato who is a natural left back play as a lefty back?

He is currently playing LB.
Palestra is playing RB

With 3 weeks to start of season....work plenty for Alonso

Enzo5:
Palestra and surprisely fofana tried. But it's their layoff to the middle, where I am looking for essugo and lavia but good work to totheham retaining the ball and passing very well

Watch when Tel in on the ball, both Palestra and Fofana struggle to get the ball off him until he gets into the box which is dangerous. Thankfully Estevao has tracked back a few times to help.

Midfield na another thing entirely

BlueMann:
Don't at all like how Spurs have bossed the second part of this first half

Like 70-30 posession eh?

It's pre-season yes but right side leaking badly.

Hope Alonso is watching

Tel really mean Palestra.

Next season go hot 😀

A fantastic GOAL from EVERY angle. Brilliant!

Well that was quite entertaining.

6 - 4 the final score.

Impressive shift from the 16 year olds.

31 - Reggie Watson
32 - Mahdi Nicoll-Jazuli

Gittens looked very sharp with very neat touches and ball control. Hope he's able to show himself this season.

Well JP is JP when he doesn't overplay he is untouchable.

JP on the triple.

If you are good, you are good.

Stop "playing" boys . Finish the ball.

Entertainment

JP

5 - 4

Man Gittens. The touches are very neat,crisp.... apply finish na hin remain.

That didn't take long or did it?

OOpsies!

Palmer and Gittens linking up well so far

Gittens looking very sharp. THAT ball control was immaculate.

And the movement JP to create the assist for Gittens.

3 - 3

Dario Essugo with a BEAUTIFUL finish from a 1-2 play.

Sleek

2 - 2

They said modern football dont need a striker. See their almighty defender getting bullied.

Defender of the universe 😃

Awon defence lo matter ju 😃

Is it safe to say that Goals win you games and traditional strikers certainly have their role in "modern" football?


PS: Braut Halaand is not human. He's a goal machine. His confidence in his own ability is NEXT LEVEL

TheSuperNerd:
Even Carlo is astonished at his mess... he cant "high eye-brow" his way out of this one.

Even the chewing gum wasn't working. Don't think he saw that coming 🤷🏾‍♂️😃

Ellexy:
Very very wholesome. I was just smiling all through. This World Cup has been a very beautiful so far.

Beautiful, energetic, drama filled and the biggest of all GOALS, GOALS, GOALS plenty yafun yafun.

Plus for me, it's the rendition of the National Anthem. FIFA got this new format spot on💯

This World Cup is 🔥

Entertainment and drama in almost every game.

And best is yet to come 😃

That's better from Ghana
