Honestly Vorm is just there to fill the 17 non HG quota.

There was a LARGE Spurs contingent at the game. WAY more than I was expecting tbh. Eriksen, Son and CCV came and clapped us off. Very proud
He's 17. Chill people.
No need to big up kids like that. His time will come eventually if his progress is right. Look at Marcus Edwards. People moaned at Poch for not playing him, then he turned out to be nowhere good enough for Norwich
Good game driving back now, NKoudou had some things come off for once, but it won’t wash in the league. Amos did well in there 90mins hard work. Eriksen finally got on the ball second half and it showed. Trippier has nothing to worry about for his spot put it that way. llorente resorted back to mean with Son being the only real option if Kane out
Great game to watch good fun, great stadium

He still hasn't recovered from the World Cup?
He's just shit, he's been shit from day one and won't change. If Poch can't make you into a decent right back you should change sports
Barca were animals in the first half, their pressing was murder plus they rarely gave the ball away!
Second half, much much better from us and even though it's only a friendly it is a good sign that they didn't give up and actually finished the stronger side.
Key to that was in the 2nd half Eriksen bossed it and was easily the best player on the pitch. Barca had a list of players out that is longer than my arm though but such depth it's scary. I bet we draw them in the CL!
Impressed with overall attitude of the team, Skipp looked good, Gazza is better than Vorm but we do look like we need some new faces. Injuries haven't helped as Winks, Wanyama and Foyth would improve the side let alone the semi-final boys.
Come on Levy, we can win the PL next season but Poch needs some reinforcements!

For some reason I think we’ll be seeing Barca again this season. No idea why. Kind of like Juve last year, except hopefully a better outcome this time
Yeah, only took two warm up games too, not even a full pre-season...players have no excuse now...Very impressed with Oliver Skipp. Also impressed with the high level of melting in this thread. You cunts are in midseason form.
why, we're you substituted?
He's clearly trying too hard to impress... :eriksenlol:
Expect a Barça bid in the coming days!!
BBC headline: Tottenham comeback against Barcelona in vain
They are aware this was a fucking friendly?.......If the competition wasn't pandering to a wider American market there wouldn't be a penalty shootout, it would just be a draw.

Looked decent without standing out before he went off with an injury after about 20 minutes.
Interesting that in both Roma and Barca - we've used a more 4-3-3 type system. Certainly the shape we've been using in central midfield is 3 across the middle with Eriksen deeper. In that case, we certainly need a Martial/Pulisic/Zaha for when Son goes away.
I was very very impressed with Skipp in that second half. You wouldn't think he was 17 years old. Hope he gets more game time against Milan. Very excited about his future.
Second half we were excellent. I also thought Amos had another good game, especially in the second half.

Mate, Luis Suarez wasn't playing.
Aurier plays for Ivory Coast who were not at World Cup. So he's had whole summer off and perfect pre-season to get fit........
Pretty much agree with all of this.
Onomah being injured is the biggest disappointment for me. Especially with all the injuries to central midfield and lack of World Cup boys on show.
He could be playing in his favoured deeper role and showing Pochettino what he can bring - unfortunately, he probably plays no part in our pre-season and either gets loaned out on deadline day or stays with the club doing nothing but training with the first team and perhaps getting a sub appearance in a League Cup game.
