Give him time. I agree he wasn't fantastic, but no one was really. You could see everyone was playing at 80% with the beginning of the season in mind. It could take some weeks before all our foreign signings adjust to the league so we have to be patient.

Have to say, Espanyol also didn't impress me one iota. But that can happen a lot in preseason.

Yeh agreed altrough Dembele is not going to play that position imo.

I think he's capable, just needs belief. I think we're more likely to see paulinho there though. I actually really liked what I saw of him today, he's very good on the ball.

but not 1 real chance created in 90 minutes.
Of course it's only pre season but it's annoying that we can do this when playing at the lane. Bale goes and we need to bring 2 players in...it's as simple as that imo.

you're not wrong. I just like to hope it's more to do with Paulinho, Soldado and Chadli not up to scratch with everyone else on our team yet. If Bale goes, I'll take Lamela and Pjanic

I think Dembele, Sandro and Paulinho are players that do most their best work coming from a deeper position and driving forward. That's the problem we have, we only have Siggy that plays better starting from an advanced position. We're bringing in Capoue who looks the same. We don't have a single player that can unlock defences and is capable of picking a pass.

Mumorn i do think Dembele is the best of the 3 at playing an advanced role though (by a mile).

I think Paulinho will surprise us all in that respect.

yep you might be right there ( i did notice a few times in the first half where he looked to play a quick ball into Soldado). I'm clinging onto this hope.

Holtby is the hope. He plays the ball early and usually picks the right pass (whether he can execute it correctly is the real question that needs answering though). The other option is to play two up top.

yep Holtby is a player i have hope for too.

I think Mumorn is right here, Paulinho looks a really good player. I would also like to nominate Chadli as a potential "plays better from an advanced position" player.

We are not a great passing team. It has been our weakness for a while, pre AVB. There are spells in matches where we put it together, have good shape and keep the ball moving with crisp passing. But all too often our passing and team shape is not good enough. imo.
We have a team of dribblers and athletes, if we can develop to do the thing Spurs are famous for, pass and move, we'd be scary.
