Match Tottenham Vs Celtic

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Thats it, think we should have played against stronger oposition our last few games to have a better view of where we are

Yep. This tour was $$$ marketing our brand name. I don't think jet setting and jetlag constantly shaking hands and throwing fish around is in the best interest of fitness and tactics.

Daws did throw the shit out of that fish though. And Kane threw the shit out of that baseball.
:freundgoal:
 
Celtic were poor, however.....For me the changes second half didn't seem to alter the way we played, if anything we improved in our confidence.
We need the season to start. Full on games, build the confidence that seem to elude us last seasons.
 
I was a bit worried that we shipped 5 in 2 games vs the Americans so I think Poch will be a bit frustrated/paranoid about the strength of the last two teams who had their eyes on the game after ours.

But I'm really happy that the people who need goals are getting them. Kane, Soldado, Lamela and Eriksen getting confidence is key for me.

If Poch can get the combative aspect right behind the goal scorers I'll be more confident.
If I can justify, we had Brad in goal with some yoof in defence. As soon as Hugo gets back into the games from the World Cup, the better.
 
The match organiser just left this nice post on facebook accompanied with photos of thfc players from the game:
"WE THANK SPURS FOR A GREAT GAME that lead them to a predictable 6-1 victory over Celtic that arrived to this friendly with the attitude of utmost disrespect towards their opponent, fans and organisers, playing with a shameful squad and leaving home their coach. Thank you Spurs!"
:adesalute:

LOVE that, especially after the comments that Nutter-Naylor Nutter-Naylor found about us from that Celtic pillock on page one of this thread, about us being arrogant and disrespectful in Chicago.
 
They probably could have turned down the friendly and allowed tottenham to find a quality team to verse instead of a bunch of kids.

Absolutely they could have but that's good experience for their youth.

Personally I'm happy with our players scoring goals, the confidence a 6-1 win brings and no injuries.

We could have drawn 0-0 against Espanyol or someone, brought in more money but lost a key player to injury.

Am I being one of those optimists?
 
Fitness, confidence, goals. Fine by me. They'll have a proper test against Schalke then get on with the real stuff. I'd rather we beat Celtic 2nd team 6-1 than lost to Juventus first 1-0, quite frankly.

We played well, we passed the ball, we finally started moving it around in triangles... and we actually scored goals, every attacker you'd expect to score did so... it's all good to me.

Agree with your points except one. We did get an injury to a key player, our Captain.
 
was just a training match with Celtic reserves and youngs,nothing to be glad,for me is important how the Spurs will play vs West Ham ,first match in Premier League,then we talk many...

Optimism and football for me usually don't gel

Fucking espn. Like 6 article about woolwich winning against Benfica. Didn't see a single Spurs article. The medias infatuation with piece of shit teams is just too obvious sometimes.

It's alright... the BBC are at it as well... not the 'subtle' differences in the two strap-lines below:

note the way we're ALL made aware that is was most definitely and UNDER STRENGTH Celtic team made up of Under-5's and OAP's... and in NO WAY should Spurs receive credit for winning by 5 clear goals... in fact ArseAnal would've scored 10... yet the fact they set up a routinely guaranteed pre-season victory in a tournament at their HOME GROUND every year, not to mention the annual guaranteed victories against Borehamwood (the MIGHTY, unbeaten, European Champions Borehamwood no less) goes largely unnoticed!!
