I thought he took his goal beautifully. I thought he was finished with us, a few of my mates are qpr fans and they didn't think he could cut it.
I liked what I saw from him, he looks to pass forward as soon as he gets the ball, and it's refreshing. Especially when for the past few seasons, all I'm use to seeing is sideways passing.
Well he couldn't have afforded to shed any more bulk... they would've had to enrol him for the Junior Spurs Club! He could join the flag wavers around the pitch pre-home games!!It looks like he has bulked up a bit.
I thought Carroll was excellent yesterday. Him and Alli ran the show. He had some loose passes but I love how he is always looking for a forward pass. He also had
a number of great timely tackles where he didn't even have to leave his feet.
I hardly noticed his presence in the midfield on Thursday when we didn't have the ball. The midfield looked empty at times, with Townsend and Lamela lack of defensive contribution, poor Dier had to cover for him and protect the back line, all at once. Lucky it was a pub team otherwise we could have conceded 5 goal if it was a proper team from a top league like Monaco.He's not going to be anything special IMO. They ran through him a lot but to be fair he and Rose were targeted.
It was a good game for him to play in but I think it answers the question that he's not ready to step up.
We looked vulnerable with him in the middle. Rose, Etiksen and Chadli can be chaotic so you need so something solid in that deeper position.
There's nobody to lead or learn from within the squad for these young players. Kane has nobody either and we don't even have a kid learning from him!
You mean to tell me all those years Adebayor was here and the likes of Defoe, Kane hadn't learn from them?
Georgios Samaras is available on a free transfer, we should get him in so Kane could learn from his wealth of experience.
