Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
He took a shot with his right foot today. I thought i had imagined it or the camera had gone into reverse mode or some shit but no it actually happened.
Obviously he missed the target..

he will never learn to release ball early. He just doesn't have it in him to do it and tbh i doubt he wants to.
It's a mental thing with him, he just can't process information quickly enough. You've seen it throughout his time here, he needs to see the picture clearly developing in front of him and that extra one or two seconds that elite players don't need.
very good post
He's been better than Son as of recent and a a hell of a lot more effective than Stevie.
He has put in effort and that is about it.
He had that great goal against Woolwich which was great to see but outside of that he is consistently terrible on the ball, holding on to it way too long and unable to make the necessary passes, even simple ones like today.
So you're saying we should play Stevie over Lamela?
I would play him ahead of Lamela yes.
Hard to argue with such solid reasoning.
Story of his stint at Spurs in a nutshell. Been slowing down Spurs fast break since 2014. Being out injured most if his Carter was actually blessing in disguise
Could never fault his application or that on the very odd occasion he has made a bit of an impact but ultimately too often injured and I can't think of one big game where the bloke made any kind of game winning performance.
And honestly that is simply shocking..
He must have incriminating photos of Danny doing unspeakable things to consenting farm animals on the board room table. I just cannot understand how Levy would tolerate him like this, wasn't he our record signing at the time?
I'm laughing that he almost managed to go his whole Spurs career without a red

Linked with a move to Napoli in the summer.
He'd be perfect for them.

Absolutely ridiculous thing to say, with practically every win (and draw away from home) against City he's either scored or set up the goals!! Against Liverpool too and of course against the scum and Man U. Let's not get revisionist again.
The fella has suffered loads of injuries (probably all related or reoccurrences to the broken vertebrae he either arrived with or sustained in one of his first games for us). Because of this alone, his impact in the side has been substantially affected.
He's had 4 managers at Spurs and every one of them has rated him and played him when fit. Players that have since left the club have rated him as one of the most competitive, committed players at the Club, Mason now a coach also backs this up.
Lets keep him.
Why?
That's not what is being refuted. What is would be your revisionism or terrible memory.
IMO, this is something you can't coach. Either a player has it or he doesn't.
You can make a good player better, but if a player doesn't instictively look around all the time and know, they will never do it.
If you watch the JImmy Greaves documentary, some one says when they played with him, they were taken aback at how much he looked around him. If you know exactly what is going on around you, you're already 1 step ahead. You can anticipate tackles, you can make passes, you can take a shot without having to think. IMO, it's stuff kids should have drilled into them as the top priority, rather than doing 100 keepy ups and a dab to celebrate.
