What is good to see is that our signings, Wimmer and Alli looked great. Trippier in the MLS game also looked good.
What is very concerning is that our attacking 4 seems to offer no movement and we don't have many options there.

First off. Massive thanks to SoCalSpurs for the stream, worked a treat, as odd as it was for the T.V station to focus on cut aways of the Bayern bus arriving and the very helpful goal line technology despite the ball flying into the net.
Alot of debate on here to weather our midfield has improved and also the point of playing these games. I would much prefer to watch the Spurs of the future and lads who have put in years of hard graft to play the for the club than Capoue wandering about or Paulinho just being himself. Whose to say Alli, Winks e.t.c will be at their level or above once this season is over. We all saw enough of the players who have now left to know they were never gonna be good enough.
The tournament could have been better timed, but we all saw the pace of the game in the second half, as we are led to believe the training under Poch is fucking brutal so two games over two days using the whole squad with a cosy business class flight back really won't impact us in terms of fatigue. Clubs tend to have their most grueling training on a Thursday before a Saturday fixture anyway whereas i guess we will be resting.
Think of the likes of Harry Winks, he's bound to only have grown hungrier as a player and developed the expierience of playing in a huge stadium against ReaL Madrid, it won't have been at any detrement that's for sure.
The club will sign a striker, almost certainly two. We will also add a centre mid, add these to the young line up we already have and I'm really excited to see what is going to develop, as long as fan's are willing to be patient we should all look forward to a side building for the next 5-10 years. Baring in mind only a season and a half ago we had a squad which had fuck all identity, no players really breaking through and merceneries collecting a hugely inflated pay cheque.

So that's what it feels like to walk in on your ex girlfriend fucking your stepdad..
Fuck, that is embarrassing. I feel sorry that Poch has to try to explain this shambles when Levy dropped him in it. Fucking joke.
Don't know which one of us joined this forum first

, but I can't recall posting a bad thing about you. I hope you agree that is the case.
However, you are now royally getting on my fucking tits with this shite. If you can't support the team without point scoring and trying to win the Internet, please just shut the fuck up.
I'd hope if I were ruining your enjoyment of this forum, you'd tell me and I'd also hope to be big enough to take note. So fire away if need be.

Here's my stream for you people out there. It's a youtube stream so everyone should get it.
The game is on BT...
Alli starting, awesome!
Alli nutmegs Modric :adelol:
MLS all stars had scored 2 at this point #BenitezOut
Na bit of a slow preseason game really, they parked the bus for most of it surprisingly given their talents, we controlled the midfield for much of it.
We did most of the passing but our Movement particularly the attacking 3 was predictable although RM were very solid.
First goal was a mix up and second was a poor pass from Bentaleb followed by a typical Bale run and 25 yarder. Overall deserved a draw but you don't get to be Real Madrid without being ruthless.
Alli was the best player on the pitch by a distance (even nutmegged Modric) and Wimmer was good in the first half. Game did highlight the need for explosive players like Berahino and Werner going forward.
Kane putting the cunt in his place
Dele Ali looks actually really fucking good, like not just a bit but really impressive....
