Will be on my way to WHL in 60 mins. Looking forward to seeing how the Barca academy has their kids playing at this age. Our MF plays a good passing game, but do the Barca kids already know how to retain possession for 20 mins at a time like the seniors.
Thanks very much for this. And lucky for me ESPN3 is carrying it. It will be interesting to see how our young players stack up. :20 Coulibaly misses a Youtube goal by about five feet. Keeper's clearance rebounds off him and lands on the top of his own net. 1:20 Barca would have scored with a good shot. So it looks lively!
Really impressed with some of the passing we've played so far, dare I say we're looking the better side in these very early stages.
Disappointing to be 1 down, we're playing well without perhaps creating enough quality chances. Brilliant strike from Pritchard who was very unlucky not to score. Hopefully we can get something out of the game because we don't deserve to lose based on the first half. Good to hear the fans in full voice despite the small numbers. "We'll stand when we want" and "your support is ****ing ****" made me chuckle.
Pritchard looks very sharp indeed actually. Promising. We look quite good with possession and are pressing well without it. It looks a good game to me
Agreed, Barca are holding the ball much better than they did in the first half now. We could still nick a goal here though, we're showing good glimpses EDIT: and just as I type that.......Barca score
Bugger, we get an almost certain goal disallowed for a toal non-foul on the keeper, they go down the other end and score
It may be the Under-19s but they're still Spurs My stream cut out for our disallowed goal actually. I take it that it was a dubious refereeing decision then?
We didn't actually score, the keeper came and fumbled it leaving our player(forget who it was) to turn and beat the two guys on the line but the ref blew for a foul against the keeper.
poor goals to concede both of them....maybe im being harsh according to some. thought the first one..the winger was given way too much space to run into,the lad just stood off him and watched him take off.......the 2nd maybe the keeper could have come out and narrowed that angle more. hope someone was making notes..i hate to see a spurs shirt lose
Poor keeping second goal. Didnt even go for the ball. Is that the same keeper that is seen letting in all the goals on the spurs site today? some of them were terrible.
Quite a good performance against one of the better academy sides in the tournament. Really good control on the ball from the back 6 but a few defensive lapses tarnished their performance. We could do with a better striker option to just Coulibaly, how old is Lancaster now? Pritchard and McEvoy stood out for be in attack, Bale mk 2 was lucky to still have his legs after one challenge but the two of them looked lively on the flanks and both hit the bar, although I felt Pritchard was trying a bit too hard in the second half.
First of all, well done to the crowd, excellent support. I Must admit I got a bit bored in the second half and switched off at 2-0. Good to see Pritchard though, he looks a prospect, but Barca definitely seem to have the better prospects in their squad, their front 3 were frightening. You could probably play 2 of them against Reading on Sunday, and they'd worry their defence I reckon. I was disappointed with Coulibaly, who doesn't seem to have progressed as I would have hoped after his 'World Cup' U17 heroics. Anyway congrats to Eurosport for showing the game, and i hope Spurs do better the next time they're on TV. Oh that's on Sunday isn't it, ah well at least it's not Barcelona
