PLAYER RATINGS: Girona 4-1 Tottenham Hotspur

Totteham Hotspur finished off their pre-season campaign with a disappointing defeat in Spain to Girona.

Lucas Moura fired Spurs ahead in the first half with a well-placed free-kick, but the young Spurs side allowed the La Liga outfit back into the game and they took full advantage to lead 2-1 at the break.

Things didn’t improve after the break and we went further behind, with the score line finishing 4-1.

Granted, many of our key players are missing, but you expect better, no matter who is pulling on our famous shirt.

Michel Vorm – 6 – Was called into action more times than he should, made a couple of solid saves before being replaced at half time. 6

Serge Aurier – 5 – Made little impact on the game during his first half outing, expected more from a senior player in a young side. He said recently he was going to challenge Trippier, on this display he should be more worried about challenging Walker-Peters.

Ben Davies – 5 – Looked very uncomfortable playing at centre-back and had a shocker.

TJ Eyoma – 4 – Unfortunately the youngster looked completely out of his depth. Gave the ball away too easily and needs to work on his positioning.

Anthony Georgiou – 6 – Looked better at left-back during the first half when Moura was on the pitch and won the free-kick which led to the goal. Switched to left wing in the second half but couldn’t influence the game.

George Marsh – 5 – After a solid tour of the USA, I was expecting a better display from Marsh. Gave the ball away cheaply and needs to track back more.

Oliver Skipp – 5 – Another who caught the headlines in the States and struggled in the middle of the park today. Overrun by the opposition in the second half.

Luke Amos – 5 – Set to be awarded a new contract after catching the eye during the International Champions Cup. Hopefully, this display will put his feet back on the ground, sloppy with the ball.

Georges-Kevin N’Koudou – 5 – At fault for Girona’s third goal with a sloppy pass. He just doesn’t have what it takes to break into our team, ship him out.

Lucas Moura – 7 – Our standout performer of the first half. Scored a lovely free-kick to give us the lead and was substituted at half time for Llorente. He must start against Newcastle next week.

Heung-min Son – 5 – Expected more from a senior player to set an example for the youngsters. Needs to put this game behind him ahead of Newcastle next Saturday.

Paulo Gazzaniga – 5 – Just like Vorm, was tested more than he should have been due to a dodgy defensive display. Pulled off a great save from a header with 17 minutes left to play, but should have done better with the third goal.

Kyle Walker-Peters – 5 – Expected more from KWP, came on for Aurier for the second 45 minutes and made little impact. Disappointing.

Japhet Tanganga – 5 – Another youngster who isn’t ready for this level. Gained valuable experience, but must work on his game.

Jonathan Dinzeyi – 5 – Just another young player making up the numbers, overwhelmed.

Christian Mahoma – 5 – Same as Tangana and Dinzeyi, gained senior minutes of football, but no impact.

Fernando Llorente – 5 – Came on at half time and had little service in order to make an impact.

Shilow Tracey – 5 – Was surprised he even made it on the plane.

Jamie Bowden – 6 – Came on for the final seven minutes in place of George Marsh.
