Match Day Thread Tottenham Post and Pre-season Games

We’re on the other side of the world and yet it feels like a home game so far:

Duel of the fates gets played
Spurs trumpet
Glory, glory now gets played

Got a feeling they were quite excited to welcome Ange (back) and the Hotspuroos.

 

Kulu has typically held onto the ball for far too long on so many occasions, has to work on releasing it sooner, slows play and momentum so much. Lost possession a lot of times too.

 

Now Maddison starts to score again.

 

Maddison with a nice goal, albeit definitely hits his hand in the build up.

Albeit I don’t think there’s anything wrong with how it clipped his hand, another reason why I’m all for scrapping VAR as they’d have ruled it out.

 

Thinks tis week 1 of last season, and not close to week 41.

 

At least one likely penalty waved away
Ball hits a hand in the buildup to the goal

Yet somehow nobody notices this game doesn't have VAR

 

Toon trying to play out from the goal line.

 

Johnson has to finish that, good stop by Pope but Son put that on a plate with a lovely cross.

 

Their first actual attack and they score.

 

See why the GK HG status matters more than his ability.

 

Poor defending and keeping for their goal.

Level at the break. Maddison’s goal should have been disallowed for handball so can’t complain too much.

 

Son subbed and the crowd boos before he gets a big cheer.

 

Of all the players that started the game, only Emerson remains on the pitch.

Ange is trolling us.

 

1-1 FT

Is that the only game in Oz?

 

Hall, Devine and Donley played with a real sort of swagger and a composure level well above what you’d expect from youth players.

We have to utilise some of these players going forward. Potentially a real golden era for the club.

Penalties now to follow after the draw.

 

For us. Newcastle have another game.

 

A nice training exercise for us.

 

I thought you played the busparquet quite well in the 2nd half.

 

Gil’s penalty saved, terrible one too. More or less summed up his Spurs career if we’re honest.

Toon score their first.

Scarlett scores his.

Toon score their second.

Donley rifles his top corner.

Toon score their third.

Hall scores his with a cheeky one through the middle.

Toon score their fourth.

Skipp scores his.

Toon score their fifth and win it 5-4.
