Barcelona v Tottenham Hotspur | Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys | Tuesday 8th August | KO: 19:00

[Wellsey]

I know it’s pre season , it’s not our starting 11, but we are useless defensively

They couldn't beat our 2nd 11 but have overcome our youth team!

 

[kingdawson]

VdV will take his spot very quickly, I would imagine.

So VDV will be on the bench?

 

[Audere!Audere!]

Disappointing at the end, but lots of hope. We just ran out of legs and concentration at the end.

Clear to see that we still need reinforcements at the back. But we knew this.

Very pleased with our play.

And my my, do Barca have some wonderkids.

 

[Ealesy]

4-2 loss is not a fair reflection of the game at all, we were all over them for large parts of the game and overall a very good performance

 

[Distaste for scouse]

Its 2027 and I'm watching Eric fucking Dier standing gormlessly with his arms behind his back while a forward slots it into our goal, its a nightmare i cant seem to wake up from.

 

[Maureen]

Spot on.... Maybe replace Davies with VDV if Ange is confident in him

No davies please! He got mulled v Brentford at home last season.

 

[williams316]

Leave some dier and reggie in Spain

 

[AlabamaSpur]

Can we leave dier, Sanchez and reguillon in Spain?

Sanchez played great man wtf were you watching

 

[Nuts]

Some really good football and entertaining as promised. But we have a long way to go.

 

[NotThatTedHughes]

Can we leave dier, Sanchez and reguillon in Spain?

Sánchez was one of our better players today.

 

[Harrier]

Dier has been a good professional, but he’s going to be such a waste of a squad place I fear.

 

[Hampshire Spur]

Reguillon pretending he’s injured

Has a fit bird so probably shagged out.

 

[Xxx]

if I was Ange.. I would, for a prank, hide Diers passport

 

[Kaz Hirai]

Good run out for the reserves. But they kinda ran out of legs in the second once Barca brought on fresh younger legs.
Angie must now know for sure Reggie and Dier are poor defenders. Both outclassed by Sanchez

 

[TottsAmazeballs]

Yeah, couldn't care less about the result.

We were great for a whole lot of that game. And this is our B team. Only two of the players who started this game will likely be starting at the weekend.

Very promising.

I could definitely care less, but you're right. Far, far better watch then 95% of the past 3 years.

 

[Thin Lilywhite Duke]

>A really impressive display from our B team (+Bissouma and Vicario) against a strong Barca side
>A very obvious lesson learned about some of our defenders (as if Ange didn't already know)
>my stream died so in my head it's still 2-2

Lots of positives

 

[Shotgunofmichalebrow]

The way we play is good, just certain players nowhere near good enough. Quite encouraging though.

Reguilon must never play, he is utterly useless. Worst player on the pitch I think. Just murdered down his flank constantly.

People kept saying he wasn't that bad. Along with Dier he's right at the top of the flush list shocking player

 

[Richard Arlison]

Was worth at least 5 million euros more 15 minutes ago though.

He can go for free after that

 

[Mostly wrong]

This is only further evidence were it needed that Reg and Dier should be nowhere near our squad come August 31st. Dier can't be anything other than absolute decimation backup if we can't shift him, I'd rather have Lenglet or Dav in that 4th choice spot going into next season, assuming we are gonna sign a 3rd choice in the coming weeks. Definitely rather keep Davies as LB backup to Destiny, Davies isn't great but Reggie is one of the worst full backs I've ever seen, can't defend and offers nothing going forward, too lightweight to dribble past players and has no composure whatsoever. We are gonna struggle to find anyone mug enough to sign him.

 

[Hotspursinho]

A very very promising pre-season!

Emerson must start at RB. Porro can’t defend.

Reguilon and Dier should never kick a ball for Spurs again. Hopefully, sell Ndombele too.

Perisic to start over Son? Let’s be honest, Son’s not looked great.

Not 100% sold on Vicario yet but it’s early days.

All 6 midfielders (7 if you include Alfie) have played well in preseason. Maddison seems to be a dead cert to start. Which other 2 start beside him?

I hope Kane stays.

Udogie has been a beast.

Who will play beside Romero at CB? Sanchez looked promising today (but let’s not forgot he was at fault vs West Ham). Too early for VdV?

Lots of questions answered but some still to be answered!

Exciting times ahead imo.
