Is Johnson so shielded from criticism at this point. He has been shocking in every game this pre season and has one or two moments that has masked the overall horrible play. He seems like he has yet to add anything to his game since we bought him. The guy looks scared on the ball and reluctant to ever take his man on unless there is acres of space to run into. No talk of his play from this game is surprising considering he was absolutely anonymous.
I noticed he has played mostly up front in a 352 for Forest and Wales, yet we always play him RW and it doesn't feel like it's his natural position. I wonder if asked he sees himself as a striker.
This window has not been shown to be anything yet. Gray was an impulse signing ,a good one,but not one that we were told about at the start of this window,that has yet to be shown? A rebuild requires strengthening the signings to progress beyond last seasons deficits . That is still in the case of LB ,LCB not been sorted . With the clock ticking you understand ,Udogie and VDV cannot play every game and expect to be anything but blown out ? Davis is not good enough especially in the inverted LB position a crucial one that should be scoring goals under Anges system. Feeling sold short this window ,by a long way. That is back on Levy , always for tomorrow signing never the task at hand, speculating on rewards for rich transfer returns,yet failing to deliver thus crushing the potential in what should be the growth of a Golden Generation of footballers ,integrated into a team of winners.
The biggest change in tactics needs to come from the coach allowing players to rotate so that as full backs advance there is not so much space for opp attackes behind the defense
@@daverobertson623why do we have a culture of bringing our own players down it doesn’t make sense it feels like if a player plays bad for a while it’s as if they’re rubbish you saw what Maddison did in leicester and you act like he is a bad player
@@chimbuezeihunwo7801why do we as Spurs fans need to accept mediocrity? Footballers have to accept criticism when they have not been performing at a certain level and we cant turn a blind eyes just because he was great before. No way we can win anything if we keep finding excuses or forgiving underperforming players.
@@FF-ti6xu it’s about mediocrity brother when modric went to Real Madrid he wasn’t that good when ozil came to arsenal he wasn’t as good as before people can have bad performance we the fans can up lift them instead of putting them down. Look at nunes at mancity that was brought in do you see city fans on his neck they’re giving him time to improve
leeds fan here...archie is still very raw and his best attribute is his composure...you will need to use him strategically....he can do well in some games but will be badly expose in others...when he does badly he usually learn very fast and dont repeat the bad performance...
Strongly prefer Bergvall over Maddison but Ange would likely go with Maddison to start. As for Dragusin, Ange appears to trust Romero and Van de Ven over Dragusin, so unlikely he will start as long as those two are fit.
Probably have a back 4 of VDV, Dragusin, Romero and Porro come Leicester, Bergvall might start imo, but will be more likely to start the following game if Maddison is still looking off the pace
Can’t believe we aren’t getting an experienced, top class number 6 in. It will cost us big time. Seems Ange wants to put out a team with a keeper, 2 CB’s and 8 wingers. Try to win 7-5 every game 😂
Honestly aren't we being a bit harsh on Gray? He has played multiple positions in the short amount of time he's had with the team and this was his first time playing against a formidable opponent. He wasn't much worse than the rest of the midfield bar Bergwall who was excellent tbh so if anything it should be the senior players getting blamed on the young one.
Ange is ruining spence life by playing him on left. He should support him on thr right and porro in front. Sometimes feeling painful to see that we don't have world class and (brave to unuse under performance players)manager with consistency and great changes. I hope spurs will focus on winning titles instead of trying unnecessary things and who know what is real priority for the team . COYS
Bergvall is quality, but too many people are going a bit over the top about him. Hes a great talent for his age, nothing more. Let’s see if he can start 7 games in a row first. Bissouma will nail down number 6 spot. Then Bergvall & Gray or Bergvall & Bentancour!!
If we turned round 4 nil down it would be about right. Very concerned we will start the season the way we ended last season. Ange needs to adjust to our league.
It doesn't matter who we get in. Ange can't do basic defending. It's crazy tactics. I love ange but why hasn't he learned from what isn't working. Bergval gave the ball away lots of times. Which match are you watching. I'm not looking forward to the new season.
What match were YOU watching.We won 5 games and lost one against best team in the world and y'all acting like we will finish 8th or something.We gifted them 1 goal they were making so much fauls in the first half we couldn't do any counter attacks.
Archie Gray is way out of his depth against high calibre opposition.. He's a kid who needs time to develop and potentially become a great player in the future. It doesn't really help when our fanbase says he's generational and overhype him when he has a good game against a mediocre side like Hearts. Don't overhype him and don't label him as anything and just let the kid develop for crying out loud because he doesn't need this kind of pressure on him
To be honest Archie Gray needs to be nurtured for 2 to 3 seasons to be ready. He haven’t played the number 6 role for long time even his time at Leeds Udt . The only player really ready is Lucas Bergvall. Gray needs to learn the number 6 and I believe he can do it.
Ange is definitely going to use Archie Gray this new season, let's get real. Spurs paid a load of money, to get him when loads of teams were circling Leeds.
@@Leo-yq3ub you may be right! Ange will find the right position(s) for the young & gifted player. My concern is Bissouma! Perhaps Bentancur will come back with a point to prove?
He is. Wake up. Do you know how many clubs were in for him? He played 50 games last season for the most entertaining dominant team in the Championship. And he is 18 years of age. Unreal talent & ability. Go look at the replays, not just Munich!
@@N17Sturight. If he has suitable players for his system he will definitely deliver. Unfortunately we still have bang average players who are not good enough for his system.
I'd have been interested to see Spence RB, Porro RW and Johnson ST for one of the games just to get an idea how that looks.
Possible Van de Van left back and Dragusin left center, if needed
He played that position for Netherlands.
Why weaken one most important position to cover in another?
@@thailandcampingwithnataandjay just one of an option when Udogie is not available
@@thailandcampingwithnataandjay
Because it’s the best alternative to get the best available players on the pitch

Even if Madison doesn't do well this preseason, it's hard to form a midfield line without him, so we have to use him
The biggest change in tactics needs to come from the coach allowing players to rotate so that as full backs advance there is not so much space for opp attackes behind the defense
They should be serious talk about maddison his form is now concerning
I'd be surprised if Udogie started before the first international break. It wouldn't even surprise me if he didn't even play before then.
Don’t think Maddison has been bad this pre season??? You’re clueless! He’s been awful
He is overrated as f***, he had a few good games at the beginning of last season, and that was it.

We have 4 competitions, with 8 Europa games before Xmas (more than previous Euro comps). We need 4 first choice CBs to succeed.
Gray was no good against a high-level opponent.
They were doing double fitness sessions on the Asian trip. He will be fine, but Bervall will be more important to us this season
Gray is only young. He’s learning all the time. Chuck him back in against Bayern and let him learn some more.
Perhaps you should review Archie Gray vs Chelsea on YT.
@@alanhamford2538to be fair he did say "high level" 😂
Our backline is horrific without our starting centre.Backs that's the main takeaway

Did Gray played against Bayern? 😂
how many ball touches he had in the first half?
good 45 mins in his legs against a strong opposition. Get behind him.
18 year old up against some of the world's best midfielders...
Gray wasn't that bad vs Bayern. NO WAY we can blame him for the first half display.

One solution is to not loose the ball in dangerous positions! And score more!
