Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Side note, why the fuck is Ange running them into the ground in training? Not gonna do the lads confidence any good getting shanked so hard in the games.
To get them fit to play in the highest intensity league in the world, that’s why. Wouldn’t be a surprise to learn they were training yesterday too. (Poch had us train in the mornings of pre-season evening KO’s).
 
We have won every single game in pre season.

Some of you lot need to calm down. It’s a preseason tour in a very hot, humid country. We have a lot of young players out there and almost all our best defenders missing. We are struggling today but there’s no reason to panic. We can judge the work that’s been done in pre-season when we play against Leicester in the first PL match.
But we was shit last year with those "missing " defenders in the team.
 


Ange will not change. These are his tactics, it's his philosophy to play gung ho football. Problem is that it's so obvious and one dimensional and everyone now knows how to play against us. We are too predictable and it's going to cost him his job but he doesnt seem to care
the problem is how much he will waste on his players before he is sacked
 
Sounds like we've been pretty dreadful.

Can't get too upset given its a friendly in hot, humid Korea, but it's a bit concerning we're showing the same signs as the 2nd half of last season. IE, easy to defend against and easy to open up.

You can fuck off with that sensible, measured post
 
Good work out for the players as Bayern are giving us a harsh footballing lesson. Should be 4-0 .

In my opinion the biggest issue out there is the midfield 3. Maddison, sarr and Gray especially look completely out of their depth right now

Porro, dragusin and kulu have looked good in moments.
Son and Johnson offering nothin but we have no midfield so not surprising

Spence being ran ragged but he grew into it as they game went on
Agree with everything - except the fact that Porro looked to me as complete liability in defence. Never tried to tackle, dribbled past couple times.I have Focused a little bit on him and Spence cause i am really interested whether Spence can play defensively as LB - so Pedro is benchmark today. And so far Djed looked better to me.
 
Double sessions every day, game just three days ago, sweltering heat. We look every bit as knackered as you'd expect. Bayern arrived two days ago.

Main negative for me is that midfield. Gray again really struggling as the 6. It shows how much we really really need Bissouma to be on it this season. Sarr is actually playing well, but he's having to cover the whole midfield. Maddison, rubbish. A defensive liability.

Spence had a rough start but thought he ended strong, out of position too.

Also think it's clear how important both Romero and Van De Ven are when it comes to building out from the back..

Look forward to seeing the kids.
Emphasizes how important it is for us to have a replacement for Madders who's easily able to push him out of the team UNLESS he's on top form
 
Based on last half of last season and pre season I really do think Eze is a must buy, I just don't trust maddison to be the guy all season.

Obviously the forward line needs major refreshing also.
Biss and bentancur dramatically improves mid so I'm ok with that.

LCB also
 
Ange is a tactical genius .... wear out the players before key game against 1st actual good opposition this pre-season.... we made to look totally like a League 1 team....

Post match tells LeVY , oi cunt buy me my players now you tight fuck face baled bogon twat
