  1. I watched the full match. Both Cuti and Lo Celso played a superb game. Cuti played as a CRB in 3-4-3 position. Just less than one minute into the game he almost had an assist to Harry Kane through a beautiful long pass.

    He occasionally went forward to help the attack and he looked very dangerous anytime he went forward. Defensively he looked solid too just like the Cuti we know. Only around the 80th minute he missed a clearance but the goalie, Gollini saved the ball.

    Lo Celso also played super good. He took all the CK and FK for the Spurs. His movements, passing was excellent tonight. He played like the Real Betis Lo Celso. He or Harry Kane should be the MOM. Lo Celso goal is from a direct FK from the right side.

    It is an easy opponent, rank 12 in Portuguese league or something where the Spurs could have easily won 6-0 but I hope both Lo Celso and Romero will earn their spot in the starting line up this Sunday.

    My rating:
    Romero 8
    Lo Celso 8.5

  4. Hopefully they will play good a game and shine for spurs, though i’m quite low and feeling really not that intrested about club football after this blody scandal that all those clubs from England, Spain and Italy are just keeping quiet about not releasing their players for SA WCQ’s as they will let the european national teams to pick anyone of their players wanted by the european national teams ! It feels and it is just so unfair as it is also so unreal thing to happen even at theese days everything and any scenario i quess is allmost possible as it clearly seems to be the case for that we can’t get our players from England, Spain and Italy and all this make’s me wonder and questioning my intrest for club football as it clearly have more power than anything else in football in theese days, though Still my feeling is that this order not to release players for SA WCQ’s have come from higher up as all the clubs are not equal to eachother economically as some have more money than others, though PSG seems to clearly be on their own league as owned by the Qatar who is also hosting the next world cup with Xavi as main ambassador for this next Qatar WC which make’s me wonder that all this must have something to do about Champions League as it is the most richest and most money producing competion in the world ! UEFA CLEARLY CONTROL FIFA ON THIS MATTER AND I WONDER WHO ARE THE ONE’s GETTING THE MOST MONEY OUT OF THIS CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ? As it seems that those one’s or some who are gaining fortune’s are clearly scared for loosing their money as they are affraid of widely spread of Covid situation amongst the teams playing in the Champions league which might ultimatly postpone the Champion’s league game’s and effect their economic benefit’s as sponsors seeing kind of like investers will pull back their money from those Champions league ”BANKER’s” who will end up loosing lot’s of money as same goes for those league’s of England, Spain and Italy who so far are on the ”Spotlight’s for all theese bad new’s for SA WCQ’s” ! I must be loosing my Mind, though all this smells like really ”crooked game” ! I just can’t belive that all the clubs stand as united on this matter rather i think there must be some split decission though it won’t change nothing on this matter, i quess ? Actually this could be compared to the talks in Europe that there are some who feel’s that Europe at least with their EU money should provide Covid vaccine’s available to all the world so that as many as possible of world citizens will get their right to be able to get vaccinated as this will clearly benefit not only Europe, but most importantly whole world and maybe will slow down some those might coming new Covid variation’s in the future as it seems to be unfortunate trend at the moment, but as there are people behind and supporting this idea offcourse there are also those who are against it, bloody freaking money all over the place allways standing firm against others who try actually create something good for whole world never Mind the which topic we are talking about ! Crazy as it allways been and looking like getting more an more crazy as the year’s pass by… Just hope that Albiceleste will win the WC and after that Messi will lead the world with his humbleness and really get as many people as possible behind him to really change something in this crooked world that we are living it ! Anyhow wish u all the best and hope that u stay as as u can and safe from this crooked world ! Best regards Ricky
