Sweep it under the carpet, sign up Rossi. I used to rate Hutton after some brilliant performances early on in his career but he has to go for so many reasons heading them all is the fact he is absolutely shit and was exposed for the first two goals. Can't wait to see more games, i think Gio and Crouch look like a potential partnership and the Mexican should be considered as a potential starter either in the position he was in today or perhaps as an understudy to Mr Luka. COYS

Headline of the day.

The second half, SPURS looked really good, and I thought we were going to not only equalise, but go on to win. Their break-away third turned it. As above, GIO looked really good. Lennon and Bale also impressed for me. KEANE was dangerously back to his hapless average; wayward passing and ineffective attacking presence ever-depreciating his sale value.

Best moment of the game was after 90% of people had left. Taarabt roasting 3 of their players in the middle then losing out with an unlucky bounce.

Id say our best players were Bale, Bassong, Walker and Dos Santos.

Lennon was shut out, Keane just walked about aimlessly, Kranjcar had a shocker and Jenas put in a classic invisible man performance.

No Pav, not even on the bench..... no replacement in sight.... last minute panic buy? Rasiak?

It was a friendly wasnt it? Why would we field that team for a competitive game?

I agree with above & definately after that pre season where we blew everyone away then turned to dog pooh!!!
Was glad Jenarse went off & hope he hasn't ruined any chance he had of leaving by injuring himself having a shot... lol

I'd second that PLN on Bassong.

it was a pre season friendly, we never played our full first team, we tried out youngsters, to assess them, naughton rose,walker, parrett, taarabt, dos santos, button, we would have given them a great game ,had we played a strong first team, because villareal are a very good side, and you have to be at full strength to play them, we needed dawson , king, to stop their attacks, along with a tough tackling midfield, modric, palacios, would have made a world of difference, but as i said before, ITS A PRE SEASON FRIENDLY, anyway man united were beat by a 10 man u.s team, did they care. just get real.

boooooooooooooooooo if only we have all our players

It was just a warm up, chill guys. shit myself for a sec. Crap headline

think walker is going to be a bit special can defend and attack and has alot of compsure on the ball

I see a bumper crowd turned up to see all the new signings...

you should look up pre season friendly, and what they are, with the players we had out there, it was still a good match to watch from both teams, but they just had too much for our young team, it needed a deflected 3rd goal from them to achieve their win, because we were coming back , but like i said , they were too good for a makeshift spurs side, but we saw some good play from fringe players, and saw a very entertaining spanish side, who can certainly play the barcelona way, and it was a great workout, and hopefully the players will learn from it.

Hutton.

What a bag of shite.

Pretty crap and we could easily have lost 7-1. Bale looked goodwhen he came on second half as did Crouch. Dos Santos gave us real energy and I was really impressed with Dean Parrett. Why is Jenas allowed to wear our shirt????
Taraabt is a showboater, a liability...loads of skill but not a prem player.
Very rusty performance from a lot of our players but thats what pre season is all about.
I wouldn't mind another look at Rossi. He doesn't seem to miss a chance!

Accurate summarisation of the game. First half we were very poor, Hutton flatters to deceive. Couple of decent runs up the right wing and then turns useless, simply nowhere near good enough. Lennon marked out of the game. Kranjcar made too many iffy passes. The youngsters really looked out of their depth. I know it was a pre season friendly but they were wearing the shirt and I expected a lot better after watching the games in the US. I can't make it to games due to geography and I rely on you guys to keep us informed of our young players coming through the ranks and trying to break into the first team at some stage. From that game, against half decent opposition I didn't see too much to write home about. They spent too much time trying to beat players before losing the ball when they should've laid it off. Gio looked good but he didn't get enough of the ball. We rarely won the second ball in the centre of the park, when we did have it, we gave it away sooooo many times. At the start of the second half we looked really good bombing forward for about 10 minutes. If we are going to be playing a lot of games this season a lot of these lads will need to buck up and get with the programme. We will need a good squad to compete effectively on all fronts. Love BAE, scares the shit out of me at times but at least he tries to play!! It's pre-season and a friendly but still.

"Alright, lads, Danny's not giving me any luverly dosh to play with... Fink that's disghasting, would've made some triffic signings...the way they treated 'at donkey is disghasting...anyway, you, Daws, Gomey, Azza, Tommy, go out there and play like lumbering shitebags,like obese pan'andlers, like one-legged catatonic sea captains with too much drink in'neir blud, to give our Danny sumfink to think about..." "what about me, boss?" "you just do what comes naturally, JJ."

I think HR had a few at the time he picked this team names. How many times we need to see Hutton helplessly flop and embarrassing and demoralizing other players and frustrating fans? The guy cannot play at this level, period. Starting home game with shit at right back and real right back playing at left side? Although Kaboul is better right back than both of them. Except Bale and Gio, the rest of forwards showed nothing. Spaniards demonstrated how cute passing could be a forward oriented and not only to the back. Of the youngsters (except goalkeeper), only Luke showed some desire, feel for the game and ball handling skills. The rest need to learn and should be loaned out
OK, it was a friendly and a warm-up game, but too many players look still frozen cold. I hope we don’t get any of Spaniard or Portuguese clubs in the first qualifying round, because we just don’t have what is needed to bit them, and that is stamina, strength and high tempo.

Rossi looks like an interesting option to pursue. Looks like good striker!. For the rest no need to panic yet.

Just the result we needed to shake things up.

Not Luke, I meant Dean Parrett

Europea League is Mickey Mouse anyways.

The Peace Cup. Now that was a trophy always worth winning. Moonie Silverware at it's finest.

2/3 weeks to go, and still no major signings.

Are we in for another last week mind-fuck?

I think it was good that Harry did not pick the usual starting XI.

Ramos did that pre season as I recall and we got lots great victories but the team went down the toilet as soon as the games got real.

Anyway we need to see some of these squad players some time and when better than during a transfer window so that we can see who needs upgrading.

Trouble is that I cannot see many buyers lining up for our undesirables so we are probably stuck with them :)
