Tottenham vs Juventus (Friendly)

Don't give a shit about scores in pre-season games, just want to see some quality and that was on show in abundance. Great pressing (especially from Sissoko), nice tempo set with good movements and one and two touch. Vertonghen and Sissoko best players on the park.
C'mon Walker-Peters son, show us what you have!

Im not suggesting he's as good as Neville was, but Gary Neville was Manure's first choice at 20 and Englands at 21. If Pochettino think's he's good enough, he will be fine
Juventus? More like Ju-making Moussa Sissoko look like a good footballer...
ochbye:
We've looked pretty good, Juve very much treating it like a friendly.....until they have an opportunity to kick someone
There's a few of us who will be proudly rehashing our posts from last season if he stays and comes good

Ju-will find the door yourself, right?
Sissoko gives us a completely different dimension to our game. When under pressure, we now have the ability to knock it long and have him run onto it. Something we clearly lacked against Man City and at times last season too (Anfield a big example).
I can definitely see N'Koudou getting a lot more game time next season.

NKoudou, Sissoko, Son, Rose all will have much more opportunity to use their pace at Wembley this season.
Seems like from the first half here we will have a bit more joy when knocking it side to side against a banked up side defensively too. I was worried about this season at Wembley but there are signs that we could adapt well if we learn quickly.

So to recap.. Sissoko pulling all the strings and Kane letting us down.. Same old same old..
Real fun first half. It's obvious we've adapted to Wembley's size. Great fun to see Sissoko having his best 45 minutes of football in a long time. Only real downer is Trippier's injury. Hopefully it's a light one but lights a fire under the management to get 1-2 signings done
To be fair Sissoko did just that last year when he came on as sub. The problem is he is so hated by fans they moan and bitch even before he comes on. We smashed teams with him on the pitch last year but we absolutely have to moan and cunt someone off, its just not Spurs otherwise. Say it enough times and it becomes true (I am in no way saying he was fantastic, I'm saying he was no way near as bad as he was made out by the fans).
To be objective, he seems to like bigger pitches, more space for him to use and get motoring???
When do we start melting? 
Anyone know if our PL games will have a vastly higher turnout or is this what we're facing?
Looked like his ankle twisted under his body. Looked similar to the 2 times Kane did it, maybe not quite as bad.
Season tickets sold out so that's more than this turn out alone isn't it?
We'll near on fill it each week I'd imagine.
This is just a very much needed reminder to them not to take the piss on ticket prices!
Pretty sure people didn't go because the prices were far too high for a friendly.
I'd sincerely hope so.
The lack of bums on seats is in protest against the pricing of tickets for this match.
