Tottenham vs Wycombe / Luton

[Chrissivad]

1 up, Sarr follows up a shot not held by the keeper

That's what Sarr does as the #10
He's not the most skilful or tricky but he follows things in and arrives to slot the ball home
I think he's a really effective player, just not at all flashy or interesting

Its like watching from a restricted view seat at old whl with the post in the way

Oderbert looked good so far.

Johnson walking around in his tracksuit looking like he's doing a drug deal

 

[Chrissivad]

Oh Austin...

 

[SpurMeUp]

That is a howler by Austin

 

[Mulletperm]

Oh dear.

 

[metalgear]

We look... unmotivated

 

[JerusalemMan]

Abbott's a busy little player

 

[Chrissivad]

It's just not quite there yet in the final third.

Yang and Takai could be involved later

 

[metalgear]

Richarlison is playing himself out of contention lol

Odobert looks great WITH the ball.
But when he's asked to press, he runs towards the player because he's been told to do it i.e. 1 second too late and 1 second too slow.
Some players absolutely love pressing e.g. Abbott and Bergvall and Vuskovic are really biting into the press, mopping up loose balls, tackling players, fighting. Whereas Odobert waits for the pass to happen and then runs over to 'challenge' i.e. make them play it elsewhere.

Why is only half the pitch being watered during the half time break?

A lot of our players were doing exactly that last season.

I guess it's only a pre-season so we shouldn't over analyse.

I'd have loved to have seen Donley in that AM role. I don't like Sarr there to be fair. Doesn't seem to suit him.

DLs probably on a water meter.

Build up play is nice so far

Nice to see how comfortable Vuskovic is in the team and on the ball. By the end of the half he was almost the go-to player in posession. He's not the finished article by any means, but has a presence and ability on the ball. Also seems trusted and settled.

Odobert looked good (and Poro of course) but Odorbert could refine his shooting. He is always on target testing the keeper, but could take it up a notch with focused drills to find the corners.

Son and Richarlison looked rusty still. A couple of moments from them. Romero looks like he's off. I might be reading too much into it though. It is just a friendly and he's done nothing wrong at all - as usual showing his quality in defence and in playing out. But just seems reserved.

Tbf its a freindly and maybe he'd have more bite in a competitive game. Was that a rushed HT to make the Luton game
