Congratulations Peter Crouch and young Divock!
Rashford was the club's young player of the year when he turned 18, and scored 5 goals in 11 appearances for the senior club in 15-16 on a ridiculous conversion rate. Let's see if Greenwood does that next year in his year 18 season. Absurd returns as a youth are often signs of developing before your peers.
FWIW Greenwood is 4th in the U18 league in scoring with 13 goals and 4 assists. Everton have a kid Ellis Simms with 20 goals and 1 assist leading the u18s.
Young player development is so fascinating to me. The # of kids who pan out is so ridiculously low and the strongest correlation with success is playing time. You've got to have a system and management and front office willing to get kids into the right loan situations if first team minutes aren't available or get them time with the senior squad.
Not a bad goal for Mason yesterday.
Congratulations Peter Crouch and young Divock!
I'm saying that if losing Serge Gnabry is a concern for a team then I doubt they will factor much in the league.
Post of the year?
Which year?
Just own your incredibly horrible take.
Yeah, that wasn't pretty. I'm as pissed as anyone that Spurs basically capitulated near the end and am very concerned about the state of the squad
IF my team scored more and the other team scored less the result MAY have been different. Football, bloody hell.
Do you as a Spurs fan feel like Poch has given up a bit? Kind of going through the motions?
Funny how removing adjectives kills the meaning of the sentence. Spurs didn't convert some nice chances and then Munich converted a lot of difficult chances.
Tottenham played really well for much of the first half, which was nice to see. When your opponent scores 7 on roughly 2 expected, you just have to tip your cap and move on. It's the longer trends that concern me more than this one match.
