Carlos Vinícius’ Best Moments From Last Night: Plus Perhaps, An Unpopular Opinion On The Boy

Carlos Vinícius Alves Morais is currently on loan at Spurs and the plan as I understood it, was to provide José Mourinho with a player to provide Harry Kane with some welcome respite.

Watching the boy, I am not filled with confidence at all. Let me be clear. I am not seeking to compare the 25-year-old with Kane himself, rather I am comparing him with his own contributions so far.

Total actions / successful
Duels / won

My primary concern is that Carlos has failed to snatch more than 17 minutes of Premier League time (against West Brom on 08.11.2020) and in the minutes he hasn’t quite looked like the prospect he might have. Royal Antwerp weren’t great, and I submit that had we been a third party scouting Vinícius, we may well have not been overwhelmed.

The above graphics do not bode well.
