Was that you turning up 15 mins late? I'm sitting near the entrance at the back of the stand

No not that late. I’m near the goal we are attacking 2nd half - sitting with my dad

Is Clarke number 9? I have never seen a player pull up his shorts as much as him.

Boring match has turned into #shortswatch. Buy the boy some shorts that fit Tottenham!!

I'm sitting near you then. I'm in the back row.

Yeah 9 is Clarke.
 
I'm surprised White was not considered for last night.
With Ndombele on the pitch we were playing with 10 men even before the sending off.
Well, not exactly surprised.....
 


4-0 ( Clarke 1, Markanday 50, White 62, Fagan-Walcott 76)

Assists - Clarke (none), Markanday (White), White (Lavinier), Fagan-Walcott (White)

So White with another 2 assists as well as a goal. Markanday and White really are the standout players for u21's. Almost start of December, so chances of first team chance before January TW seems low

Lo-Tutala, Lavinier, Cesay, Lyons-Foster (Matthew Craig 78), Fagan-Walcott, Omole, Mundle (Mukendi 83), White (c), Clarke, John, Markanday (Michael Craig 79).

Substitutes (not used): Oluwameyi, Santiago.

Astonished to see Mukendi on the team sheet - rarely fit in last few years

Harvey was superb today.

Comfortable 4-0 win. Everton had a couple of chances. Lo-Tutala made 2 great saves and Everton hit the post. But they were more due to us making mistakes by taking risks playing the ball out the back and losing it in central areas.

It's much more calming watching the youth team play than the first team. The youth team have an identity and play that way. You can clearly see they have been playing together for a while in the same style. They are all comfortable in possession.

Chalk and cheese compared to the first team. Jose, Nuno and to an extent Conte have coached out possession from the first team players. They don't know what to do with it.

Stand out players were White and John. Markanday coming in at 3rd. I want to see these 3 in the first team squad on the weekend. They are better than the cloggers in the first team.

I would also think about starting White against Brentford. His long range passing and crossing in particular was excellent. Something that none of our midfielders have. It's actually embarrassing that a homegrown kid is better than multi million pound fully fledged internationals at basic things like switching play.

I've seen Harvey play a few times. But never as advanced as today. He almost played AM today. Normally when I've seen him play he goes into DM. Probably why he's getting more goals and assists now.

He used to be a number 10 and got moved deeper and deeper as he went on with the U18s.
 
An extremely uncompetitive game.

Still can’t see prayers jumping straight from the u23s to the first team. Too much of a gulf in intensity. Playing on a Saturday afternoon in a lower league is so much better for match experience.

There wasn’t any point last night I felt a player was playing near their personal 100%.

Comfortable training game. I’ve seen much higher intensity training sessions.

(As an aside the European games they had at the lamex in the past were played at a much better tempo - but saw Vincent Jansen play in one of those and he looked quality. Shows the level of play.)
