Is the jury still out on Carlos Vinicius? I’d say until he can somehow impress José Mourinho more significantly in training, then it absolutely is still out. I’ll take a goal under ANY circumstances. A goal is a goal is a goal. That said, Carlos needs to show us something more exciting than what he has. Maybe, the Portuguese Pulis is behind yet another player’s stunted growth, sure, maybe that’s the solution. In which case, when the folded-arms-boy is given a proper chance by a proper coach, only then will the full talent be allowed to emerge…
The goals
The key stat that few people are discussing today? This hard-done-by a superstar that lost possession 14 times.
But this was only part of the puzzle. Only 42% of the lad’s total actions were successful. What an ace! Wake up, Mourinho! Pfffft.
No Dele best actions blog?
I’d have Vinny samways in my squad.
They were awful coz we had them shook. Full house we’d s put 9 past them. SHOCK&AWE YIDZ
He made some clever runs. His movements good. Just needs a run of games. Rusty touch. Danaldo. If he puts the work in like Kane does Kane better score untold if he wants to keep the tottenham goals record in the future. Danes gonna have a few years head start on him. I bet he watches Kane like a hawk in training. Troy&Dane. Rodon&japh. The futures bright
What and not earn no money😂
Watching that clip, wow… that Austrian outfit were flipping awful.
Pav, Mido, Adebayor when he couldn’t be bothered.
If ever there was proof that a hard working forward gets their reward, Harry Kane is it. If you don’t take note as a fellow pro then you might as well retire…
He’s no Vinny Jones that’s for sure.
Please note that the bloke you’re slagging is a tuppence ‘apeny loanee wiv a CV that reads – ‘ex defender who was positioned further & further forward during his short career in some little league clubs’. His tramp stamp says Mister Byrite and I don’t think that’s his boyfriend.
Go on the It’sNotHisFaults!
I’ve been chatting this since arry took us in to the CL for the first time. Tottenham are back. Bigger now.
His hold up play is shocking.
I admire you unwavering belief but you have been trotting this out since I started visiting this blog 7 or 8 years ago!
Vini the finisher” I saw somewhere.
Guy said. Imagine the noise. José wins nothing and finishes 5th. Flip that noise. José wins the double and finishes third. Both possible. Can you imagine the joy if tottenham did that. I can. Next season José bring an improved tottenham team into the champions League. If not we go again returning stronger. Tottenham are close. 2025 or before
Posted weeks ago that Vini needed to be returned in favour of A N Other and promoting Scarlett. The lad is young, hungry and looks as though he has some footballing nous.
Dis.
A good attitude, liked within the squad. A strikers role is to score goals, done as requested. Looks tidy once inside the box. What are people expecting?
He’s barely played, new league, new team. Has he missed a heap of chances…nope.
Janssen & Soldado got off lightly in comparison.
Glad to see numbers corresponding to my overall feelings towards Vinicius yesterday. He was godawful in the first half, wasteful, losing possession with ineffective flicks, unable to shield the ball against a terrible team.
Yes, he scored twice in the second half, but the performance was the epitome of “goals are not always enough”. Goals may come or not but you have to pull your weight regardless – win duels, press, pass accurately, and don’t be stupid with the ball.
