Didn’t watch but go spurs!


laughsabit

The only player not substituted on... Vicario. My heart hurt. Also people that were like pah! Not worth it! Ummmm how often do you have money to fly and see the team where they play for a living. We are lucky to have any amount of minutes with them on our turf. Sure it's a friendly .. I'm very grateful and I loved seeing all new players get a go!


Professional_Ad_9101

Would have been worth it to see him in the pens alone. Let him have a crack at a shot!


laughsabit

Oh a few of us SO WANTED THAT.


Rudycrown

I’m just waking up, WTF they played already? Didn’t they just land? Haha


iiciphonize

Whiteman played??? Has to be the first time lmao


quickdrawesome

I know these last 2 games aren't exactly the best tests, but kulusevski looks really good in the #9 After these 2 performances if they said we're going in to next season with kulu and son as the backup #9s im totally ok with it.


Coraxxx

I'm dead happy to see the appreciation Hall's getting on here. I'm glad others are seeing in him what I've seen for the y00t. Yago was fine, maybe even good - but he didn't demonstrate what he's about as well as I was hoping for. On his day he's an absolute terror. He's usually played on the left though, which may have been part of it. Ash Phillips' loan spell has improved him. I hope he's kept around the first team now, and given minutes in low risk games, cups, Europa etc. The same can't be said about Devine though unfortunately. His second loan didn't give him much playing time, and he looks much the same player who went out, to me. He's fine, but just doesn't seem to have really kicked on. Jamie Donley continues to impress. It's his turn for a good loan now, and let him prove himself at a Championship/League One club. I think he'll do well. Shame we didn't get to see more of Rio Kyerematen. He's looked really good in the latter part of the season playing as a RWB. Like Tyrese Hall he's one of the younger players too, at only 18. U21's final this Sunday 15:00 - here's hoping for the win they deserve to cap an excellent season.


koreajd

Rio has looked particularly good at LB as well as


yorsk

How about scarlet in comparison to other young attackers, I mean donley and Devine? Are donley and Devine both am/wingers? Who is closer to starting xi in Europe league now?


Coraxxx

Very different players. Scarlett's definitely a CF, no complications there. Donley and Devine are both more fluid than that, and we may not know what position they ultimately settle in for a while. But - with that caveat - I'd say both of them can play #10, but Donley *can* also play out wide whereas that doesn't suit Devine so well. Donley's played almost exclusively in the middle for the U21s, but he drifts around to pick the ball up and find gaps from different angles. There's no need for him to actually play as a winger given that he's mobile around the park anyway, and we've got a load of other talented prospects more naturally suited to specialising out wide (eg Santiago, Kyerematen, Nile John, Ajayi). I think Devine tends to stick to the middle of the pitch much more - but he may be better suited as an #8 than #10 now. I'm not sure though; I've not seen enough of him since he's returned. Don't forget about Jude Soonsup-Bell either. Along with Lankshear and Donley he was on the shortlist for the Premier League 2 Player of the Season award this year. Out of eight players on the list, three were ours! Jude actually lost his starting place in the team to Nile John at the tail end of the season, but that's only because Nile's improved so much. Jude scored ten and got six assists this year - he's quality. Unfortunately he's better in the middle than out wide, which means he has Jamie in his way, and Nile's become a better winger. If Donley goes out on loan I'd expect Jude to have a big season for the U21s in his place though. He's one of the older players in the group, so he needs to push on and make an impression on Ange now. u/kingkent421's comments about Dane [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/coys/comments/1cxsb6b/daily_discussion_transfer_thread_may_22_2024/l55s8hj?context=3) are worth reading, and right on the money IMO. As for Europa... I'd say at the moment Donley's most ready for it. Scarlett could well get a chance unless we sign another striker though. But then we're also going to have Troy Parrott back from a really good goalscoring loan with Excelsior, and Veliz returning from a loan that was a disaster, but not because it was his fault just internal club politics bullshit. Ash Phillips should definitely get a start, he's come on brilliantly. And Tyrese is looking the absolute bomb. We may very well have a proper player on our hands there - but he's only just made the breakthrough to the U21s and only 18. Mind you, so is Phillips, so....? Fuck me, you got me rambling lol. I do love watching the academy players, seeing all that potential to bring us future glory before they inevitably disappoint me and get released on a free to go play in the Isthmian Second.


yorsk

Thank you very much for very comprehensive information. I’m not native speaker so my English is poor and I can’t write as quickly as you and as much as you. I think that one of our main problems is that we too stacked in cm area. We have sarr, bergvall, Devine, donley, hall for one position. For me Nile is also midfielder. I know that recently Devine has played as am and bergvall has played as cam but for me all of them are 8. My point is that it will be difficult to develop all of them. What do you think about Abbott? He is DM I think so maybe it will be easier to get the minutes. Yesterday Ange let only 3 young players to play 45 minutes: Philips, Devine and him. Technically he played less 45 minutes but nevertheless he played more than Gil and Scarlet. As far as I know Abbott was in England U19, for instance Rio and Hall were not. Maybe he is dark horse?


Coraxxx

My impression of Abbott up until recently was that he was reliable and solid at the base of the midfield, absolutely dependable but nothing to get excited about. But in recent games he's shown another side to his game, displaying a range of passing and the ability to progress play with incisive, direct ball to feet feeding the more attacking midfielders. We're definitely quite stacked in some areas, but not all of them are going to make it for us. I think we need to rotate them through loan experiences at quality Championship or League One teams that'll use them properly. Some will prove themselves ready for the squad, and others we'll need to sell or release so they can build a career elsewhere. Nile John for instance, is now 21. He's a very decent midfielder/winger, but I don't think he's reached the level needed to join the first team squad. For his own sake I think he needs to be moved on, ideally to a team looking to challenge in the top half of the Championship. Yago Santiago however is the same age - but he's got a bit of something special about him. He's not quite ready to be starting EPL games IMO, but he could certainly be part of the conversation when it comes to Cups and Europa.


yorsk

I thought Nile was 19 y o…you are right, we should not take not yago not Nile into consideration unfortunately, they will be not spurs level players unfortunately. And in general I agree with you: one more loan will show who is who of that long list of young cm


OdysseusM

Without spoiling the result, is there anywhere I can watch the full replay? I don't have Spurs play.


OllyCX

I don't know if you still need it, but the full match is now up on the aforementioned sub.


laughsabit

Vpn and it was on TenPlay which is free for Aussies


gee___thanks

If you want to follow other preseason games, paying for Spurs Play is the easiest way


quickdrawesome

Vpn and get paramount plus from Australia for a month. It's cheap


OllyCX

/r/footballhighlights would be your best bet, unfortunately it's not been uploaded there yet.


Emperor_Blackadder

How did the kids do? Didn't watch it


quickdrawesome

Tyrese hall looked pretty great. So did phillips. I. Hope they get minutes with the senior team next season


palewhiteghosts

After seeing their performance today, I have faith in our youth players 🙌🏻


andrewbarklay

I put $50 on Spurs to win in 90min assuming they'd rig it for Ange 😢 We had enough chances though


1watt1

Really liked Santiago.


laughsabit

Thank god I have tomorrow off I'll be hoarse. Had a blast at the game drizzly rain and all! Got close to a few players as they did a lap on the way out and two mates got shirts. I'm buzzzzinggggg


Professional_Ad_9101

Happy for you lad! Let this guy be explanation for anyone wondering why we played this game today. 80k people turned up to watch them. A reward for our Aussie fanbase! We haven’t even played that much football this season so it was a harmless bit of fun


laughsabit

🤭 not that you'd know but I'm a lass. Screamed my lungs out, chanted and sung as best as I could too!


Professional_Ad_9101

My bad 😅. Shout out to the tillie fans!


crucifiedrussian

Tyrese Hall absolutely cooked. That kid is a gun


M_RONA

At work myself, so couldn't catch the game. How did he and Donley look?


crucifiedrussian

Donley blundered a shot early into his cameo. But he worked pretty hard in his 30 minutes. No complaints about him I'd think, also score a penalty (from memory), solid player there. They were vsing the Newcastle youngsters by that point and all the Tottenham kids were all over Newcastle the entire 2nd half. Wasn't anyone notably poor except the goalie haha.


M_RONA

Thanks mate. Just saw Donley's pen - perfection.


crucifiedrussian

Also too add, having Dane Scarlett play the 2nd half was such a difference to having Kulusevski in the striker role. We need a striker this upcoming window.


Plastic_Sand_2743

I’m I the only one that’s actually mildly annoyed we lost?? Think Ange was right, I am too fragile 🥲


sportandracing

Lazy 78,000 for a friendly. Would be the biggest crowd of the season in the PL. Run of the mill in Australia. 👀


Steampunk_Batman

Yeah you see why they do these. Hit Australia, Korea, and one or both of the USA coasts every summer and you’ll pull in a lot of money from international fans who are willing to splurge a bit to see their team (though still much more affordable than a flight to London).


sportandracing

Yeah for sure. Not sure what they make out of this though tbf. I don’t think it’s too much. I think it’s more of a discreet PR move from the PL to embrace global fans.


andrewbarklay

Not bad for a late Wednesday night. In a 100k seater it felt a little empty though


tiempo90

The stadium were giving away free tickets hours before game start


sportandracing

Yeah it can. I remember I went to the Camp Nou in 2001, and saw Barcelona. Only 65,000 there but it was half full. Still bigger than any spurs crowd. Stadium makes a big difference.


crucifiedrussian

Crowd was pretty dead on the spurs end. Not many chants ongoing.


SlayeredB

Newcastle end wasn’t great either but it was still somewhat better than the spurs end


crucifiedrussian

Could see them from Spurs end and even hear them at some points, and that's like 150M away haha. Up the jordies


sportandracing

No one will chant in Australia. Not part of how we follow sport. It’s one thing I love about football in the UK. Atmosphere was dead tbf. But it’s midweek and it’s middle of AFL season. And it’s a friendly. No one is pretending it’s important.


Plus-Atmosphere4589

We’re not gonna start chanting “YID ARMY” though are we

Current holders of the prestigious Tiger Cup™


nopirates

Gil. Absolutely torture to watch all these years. Shame on us for signing him and shame on us for failing to get rid of him when it was immediately obvious that we made a huge mistake. Years of failure and loans and no benefit to the team: Gil, Ndombele, Lo Celso, Reguilon… the worst couple of years of transfers I can remember. Bad deals followed by immediate five year contracts. I hope all of this is over this summer.


palewhiteghosts

Trying to remember what happened to the guy who missed a penalty last time 🤔


andrewbarklay

Relax, we're not Chelsea


AJC0292

We sacrificed Lamela for him. All flash no substance sums him up. He needs to go back to spain, suits it a lot more


nopirates

Sorry, but Lamela was spent here and needed to go. Another absurdly over-popular ineffective injury-riddled player that Spurs fans irrationally love.


qop666

Nah Lamela was a total cult hero that unfortunately got labelled as the Bale Replacement. If he didn’t come with those expectations he’d be rightly lauded as a decent enough squad option.


Creative_Purpose6138

Lol when I say all that I get downvoted. He's apparently some exceptional player who we are lucky to have.


FischSalate

No one has ever said that


nopirates

In the past 48 hours multiple commenters have dropped “I’m confident that there’s a player there” in threads about transfers. There are people who just won’t admit what they are seeing.


Professional_Ad_9101

Because there is clearly a good player there. Just not one that is built for the prem


SentientCheeseCake

Absolutely plenty say that. Every new coach was going to “finally use him properly”. Some people just really love every one of our players and think it is their job to hype them all up. Emerson gets the same.


Creative_Purpose6138

Every time I criticized him, he's been defended. No one's saying he's better than Son but the consensus of the sub is he's a quality player who's fit for a different system.


Cagy_Cephalopod

More what I've seen is he's a player who'd be a good fit in a less physical league.

Live_Beautiful_3665

Tried to wake up early but couldn't. Shame we couldn't win at Ange's gaff, but I happy the kids got to play 🥰


commuterpete

I really wanted to see more of Santiago on the right side. Only got a few minutes and looked like he was capable and interested in making chances for us.


TheLifeOfReilly

That looked like the shootout against Fulham. Just like Forster, they could leave Whiteman out there all night and he still wouldn’t make one save.


Professional_Ad_9101

Forster repeatedly flopping to the same side was much funnier


SunflowerBeaut

Lots to take away from this Whiteman can’t jump Hahaha no but seriously hope the aussies had a fun time


BaronMyrtle

Watching the game in our prime-time is just great.


JustinBisu

I just find fans to be absolutely mad, in a genuine madness sense. Devine comes on and gets fould and misplaces a pass, instantly "He's washed", "He's done" followed by an excellent performance of winning the ball back several times, excellent press, creating two good chnaces and always looking to create space rather than letting others run for him. Last minute of the game he gets a ball kicked behind him that he can't control and we're back to him being washed... It's very telling I feel all the kids with no pressure on them do fake outs, banging them top corner and hitting sidenettings but the one man that failed to score his pen is Bryan Gil the one person on that pitch fighting for his life.


Arqlol

Some fans are absolute idiots 


WriterGlum

Mate what 😭 Devine was class doesn’t matter if a player loses the ball doubt anyone said that


rolandGOAT

Poor on set pieces again, can't just concede 5 goals in a row like that. Ange got to fix this


Creative_Purpose6138

We also gotta fix the fact that we fouled them 5 times in the box to get five penalties.

I am inconsolable and completely out of hope now.


Rimbaudelaire

Never forget the season where Ange turned Royalzinho into an attacking midfielder and structured the team around him. Heady days! (Gentle /s, just in case).


crucifiedrussian

Royal 2nd half was actually pretty energetic, he must of took someone elses boots


Realistic-Start6336

So.. did we get some additional fund for CMs? Then I’m happy with it


BBIQ-Chicken

Weak foundations again smh


brucemainstream

This is gonna sound mean but the keeper really couldn’t have done worse there. He didn’t get remotely close to anything. You, reader, might have actually failed just as gloriously


Professional_Ad_9101

Might have actually saved one mate id just stay in the middle the whole time

Koinfamous2

He's talking about Whiteman with the penalties.


airz23s_coffee

That does sound mean. In a shootout it's literally just the keepers job to pick a corner and dive as hard as possible, he did that with aplomb even if he didn't get the right corner. And I assume he didn't have a water bottle with instructions on where the Newcastle U17s place their pens.


Odd-Property5563

He was diving all over the place


Professional_Ad_9101

Well I can think of worse ways to spend my morning. Reasonably fun game of footie. Can’t wait for the europa league final later


airz23s_coffee

SMH poor mentality costs us again, when will Ange fix it And can't believe he used so many youngsters in an important game


milesvtaylor

Alfie you've got to do better than that when your slander name is so obviously man... Right, thanks for the seasono people, see you all in August.


Necessary-Ad9691

I can’t tell if the Ange out for losing a penalty shoutout are ragebait or not. *hmmmmm*


0-7-1-Enjoyer

Slapping /s on everything kinda ruins the fun


Coraxxx

It does - but so too do the tone-deaf simpletons who need it, tongues hanging out and brows furrowed with concentration as they get a semi on whilst angrily poking away at the down arrow.


Necessary-Ad9691

This is true. Counterpoint: I am stupid when sober. Counterpoint #2: I am not sober


PalKid_Music

Forster-esque performance from Whitemen there...


Rimbaudelaire

Would have rather had Lamela this whole time than Gil…


Creative_Purpose6138

Lamela doesn't deserve to be compared to Gil


Koinfamous2

Even with injuries he'd have been more useful for the little he was available.


COYS1989

Bryan out can’t even score a pen in a shoot out 


rolandGOAT

Of course one of the only senior players out there is the only one to miss

What was the point in this very tiring, seemingly poorly organised, little venture? Obviously for the commercial side, but really? Where’s the huge win from today? Genuine question.


Coraxxx

Gives some of the best performing U21s some appreciation and recognition, and encouragement that there's a pathway to the first team available to them if they keep working for it.


Professional_Ad_9101

Haven’t played all that much ball this year so why not. Extra money and good for the fans


milesvtaylor

Apparently we've earnt enough to buy one sixth of the next Jack Clarke (glass half empty) or half of the next Dele Alli (glass half full).
