Agree.
The trouble with Kinsky is he's young and arrogant. Nothing wrong with these attributes but they have a downside, respectively inexperience and risk taking. He can be as daft as a brush.
I trust he's on a learning curve in training and under expert coaching, and we look forward to seeing him in competitive action in the lesser domestic cup and UCL matches. I really hope he progresses and becomes a stand-out successor to Vicario.
Exhibit number one.
A seventeen goal season, and scorer of the winning goal of the EL final.
Two goals in five games this season.
He's on the bench, possibly rightly so, but anyone thinking he should come on and morph into Kudus isn't being realistic.
Bottom line is Frank is improving the squad depth, and we have to recognize that fact.
Cut the kid some slack.
It made perfect sense to bring him on, you'd hope Xavi could put him in for a chance.....and he's probably our best 1 on 1 finisher
I don't see what anyone can get upset about, we know his strengths and weaknesses.
And after a Wooolwich/ManCity draw, Woolwich and Spurs are both on 10 points, Woolwich ahead with a GD of +8, ahead of Spurs in 3d place with a GD of +7.
4th place is also on 10 points, 5th place on 9 points, 6th placed Chelsea on 8 points.
So very much where we want to be at this stage of season
If were in top 4 at xmas. Were in business.
Because Vicario is such a wallflower isn't he.
The weakest part of the team is the keeper.
That much is obvious.
Gawd anyone who criticises kudus needs their head examining. Without him we have no threat. Exactly where do they see that level of skill, threat and ability to keep the ball coming from? Richi, Johnson, Tel, Wilson etc? Do me a fave.
Weird that when he's arguably been our best player so far this season
I'm guessing that he means the position rather than the individual
ie, if a keeper fecks up - it's usually a goal against, - as opposed to outfield players who can get away with the odd ricket
The narrative surrounding him this weekend is so forced, he messed up a shot that he would normally save in his sleep, shit happens...it's the equivalent to Kane missing a penalty. No one should be worried about that goal he conceded because it's the strongest part of his game. It's his kicking and command of the box which is in question in which he's been more than decent at so far this season.
Kinsey is young yes he is. Kinsey is arrogant…..Never knew you knew him personally.
Vicario has been good this season and the shot he let in caught him by surprise which can happen to any keeper. i would cut him some slack on that.
I was at the game in the Home seats at the side, had a great view of proceedings and our midfield was awesome at times. I thought Odobert didn't contribute much and Richy contributed less and everyone else was mostly excellent.
We absolutely should have won, my Spammer mates were telling me how strong Kudus is and he was just fantastic.

You guys are right to pull me up about use of the word 'arrogant'. The better way of putting it, less open to misinterpretation, is to say he's 'overconfident' — and this is clear from his play on the pitch; you don't need to know him personally.
He's brimming with talent but needs to learn from his mistakes. A GK needs to inspire confidence in his defence.
Vicario is vocal, yes, which is a good thing. He's done well this season and our management/coaches appear to have full confidence in him. There was no whisper in the summer about the need for a new keeper.
Watched this one live on the plane to Dubai (blatant)
Great flight and a decent performance overall I thought -at least through beer tinted goggles. No way would we have fought back a 2 goal deficit last year.
I’m buying into the Danish Hugh Grant more and more. Given time and funding, I think he’s a good fit for the club

I was delighted with our response to the setback. I did have PTSD after the 1st goal, getting caught that far up the pitch is SO last season.
The 2nd was a freak of a worldie that came off the back of a comedy of errors. It felt like we'd reverted to being pathetic again.
But we dusted ourselves down, kept plugging away and got something out of the game.
Whilst 1 point isn't much better than 3, I'll always take it as it contributes towards a "not losing 22 games in a season" type of mentality.

He got a hand to it, but it was hit so hard he had little chance. I was watching on a stream and I could hear the sound of the ball slapping his hand as it went in.
He's a loud mouth, is tat the criteria for signing a keeper?
He doesn't control his area, doesn't come out to defend a cross and should have done better for one of the Brighton goals.
I don't know of any Spurs fan that he inspires confidence with.
I can't find a single media report where he has been voted MOM.
