Japhet Tanganga

[The Swellhead Spur]

Great from him today, needs to start every game from now, hopefully signs a new deal

 

[Jenny Talia]

Take a bow, he should keep his place.

 

[Totti]

Excellent from him to be honest.

If it means we have to start a back three to get this guy game time, do it.

 

[Park Lane Mark Twain]

Impressive performance that lacked a bit of spike as and when required. Played with character which is all we can ask from a kid making his debut. Keep him in for the next game and moving forward.

Really liked the look of him. Would be keen to see how he does in midfield. He’s quick, closed down well and kept going. Passing maybe a bit suspect at times, but he’s no worse as DM than who we have.

 

[Ealesy]

Ballon D’or incoming

 

[Darnswim]

Very good, although he made 2 mistakes (one at the goal and the other when he slipped and let Robertson through), but that's expected from a lad who's younger than me.

 

[sammyspurs]

Brilliant

Skipp is the DM from that age-group. Tanganga is the "balls on the line" centreback, if you were to try a youth CB in there you'd probably go with Eyoma or Lyons-Foster given they're better on the ball.

In any case, very pleased to read that he did well, been crying out for him to get a gig for years

 

[Rooster]

Seems good. Need to see more / consistency going forward. Future seems bright with him and Lo Celso though.

Fair. Skip could be the new Roy Keane and I’d not know as he never plays! Must be something wrong for him to never get a sniff.

 

[Legacy Lilywhite]

Great start for the lad. Loved his effort.

 

[VoiceOfThePoshSeats]

Saves us 50m.

Should have started before now. His pre season was very good.

 

[Kekerinho]

Great debut against world class opponents imo but he needs to keep his head down and work hard if he wants to become a first team regular. Let’s hope there are more displays like this to come.

 

[TheRealTI]

We have ourselves a player here. Get him to sign a new contract and get him in games.

 

[Reidy]

5 points better off in the league if he started against Norwich and Southampton

 

[Totti]

Very good, although he made 2 mistakes (one at the goal and the other when he slipped and let Robertson through), but that's expected from a lad who's younger than me.

Not sure the goal was a mistake. It was a world class touch from Firmino that'd probably fools every centre back in the world. The mistake in that game was the linesman and the referee not spotting it was a clear Spurs throw in

 

[DeSpurately]

So much better than any other defenders today

 

[NW1Spur]

Clearly better than Foyth.

 

[Totti]

What a shame is that performance probably sees some top European clubs willing to play youth offer him a contract.

It expires in 6 months time - hopefully starting him today means there are talks and a close agreement with him to sign a new deal.
