and poch needs to learn to give strikers space up front instead of cramming 21 guys in one half

Don't wind me up mate ...

Saw some comments about him last night - he is obviously a rough diamond type player and very raw. Thought he did ok against a poor side. Showed some pace which will be a good asset to bring on in games to start.

Agreed. Apart from our full-backs, we're so devoid of pace its laughable. I think he'd actually complement Kane, Son and Eriksen as a front quartet quite well

So apart from our quick players we are slow?
Dele Alli is no Arjen Robben I admit but sometimes pace is not the be and end all. Its what you do with the ball eg Townsend bless him pacey and useless

Very funny! What I meant was we have no pace in attacking areas

 

[GrimsbyYid]

Son looks pretty pacey too. I think it's way too soon for NJie, but what a sub to bring on and stretch teams.

True - also what about lamela? no pace and useless.

Watching last night - the likes of alls and song are footballing wise, in different ball parks to andros and erik.

brilliant play for Lamela's goal............got away from the full back and whipped in an accurate early ball. Thats what he can do

Now watch us train it out of him. Don't deny it, you know it happens.

 

[billyiddo]

Looks raw and a bit of a project to develop but has proven useful off the bench so far when needing to close games out

 

[indospurs]

Still young, lots to learn, but the experience and confidence from doing that pass in a game versus the league leaders ... invaluable ! He'll be bouncing off the walls now. Push on lad, onwards and upwards !!!

Pace may not be the be all and end all, but with it we can frighten the oppo and open up space behind their defence, cause havoc.

 

[Raziel]

Actually a very interesting out ball option to close out games.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Would have loved to see him on earlier midweek

The lad plays with a Desire and effort coupled with some raw attributes

Blinding pass for Lamellas goal and a very very useful sub

 

[LutonSpurs]

Great assist and a great touch initially.

 

[thfcsteff]

Great assist and a great touch initially.

That turn was superb, let alone the ball afterwards!
I think Poch is bringing him through superbly. Patient. Use the pace to stretch and keep people honest later on...let him learn...

 

[El Guepardo]

Very pleased with his performance today. He started by losing the ball, but then gave a strong performance off the bench. He showed his direct running, his lack of fear, and he set up Lamela's goal..well done Clinton
