Wasn't manager's first choice so ..
However Jose said that he was surprised how good he was.
Long term I think he will be a pocket battleship, ideal for Prem div. And we have to have a strong squad

Mourinho does not like being questioned on his selection policy. Same re Dele not playing. Poch was the same. It seems a constant theme with Journos at Spurs News conferences.
Do not think either Moura or Bergwijn will be first choice when Bale fit.
Very weak today
really poor both defensively and offensively. disappointing.
The whole team looked like they were walking in the park for the most part. Partially due to the opposition, partly due to a pretty shit pitch as well. Steven did not stand out, but I would be hard pressed to give anyone a 7/10 as the whole game was rather MEH after the first goal.
I agree, I just felt a few of them had a point to prove tonight....
I hear ya. He should have taken the opportunity to show Jose he is better than Lucas, which I think in the long run he is. But he failed to make a mark.
Just needs a run of games.
First player since van der Vaart to score in his first 3 league home starts for this club. He hasn't started a 4th home league game yet..... and that 3rd home league game was against Man Utd!!!!!
I like what I see of Bergwijn though. I think he's an intelligent footballer who has a good final ball on him and knows where the back of the net is. Just looks a bit short on confidence. With Bale and Son both out injured, this is a big chance for him to get a run of games under his belt and really show us what he can do.

Was under par but played in an unfamiliar role
As he gets more minutes he will show us what he can do

Hope he proves me wrong but looks like a waste of 30m at this stage. Worse than Moura. Totally lacks bravery and hides from the ball, lacks killer instinct and makes the wrong decision more oft than not.
Has to start performing soon, he wasn't bought on a cheap as a talent, he was brought in for top dollar to perform.

I'd say his performance was the only negative from tonight. Starting to worry me a bit if I'm honest.
Isn't really driving at players and is horribly one-footed - that right foot shot was shocking.
Needs more game time but not the immediate first choice player I initially expected. Early days but needs to do and show more

The thing I like about him the most is his first touch is great. And that alone makes him better than probably half of our squad. A good first touch makes such a big difference during a counter-attack. He's not one of the intelligent cunts though - I feel like he sometimes seems a little too scared. A bit like Sessegnon in that aspect.
