Second half, Ange Postecoglou has been forced to substitute Werner Timo who missed one on one chance with poor shot once more, Mikey Moore who played right in first half has been moved to his position on left side and started his show! Dribblings, runs following by crosses to Richarlison and Johnson but they couldn't score. Fans who jumped off the seats started to chant "Mikey Moore he's one of our own" and Maddison said he thought we have Neymar in team in those moments. Boy played well, but I am against comparing young boys to the biggest stars because it's easy to become conceited in young age. He need to train hard, to become better and for sure he deserves more chance to play! He showed he should be ahead of Werner Timo in packaging order for left wing position! When Son can't play or when he is going out question should be Odobert or Moore!

Mikey Moore passed great ball to Johnson after slalom among AZ players! Shame it wasn't a goal!

Spurs score from penalty rightfully given after foul on Bergvall inside the box. Pigeon among Roosters kicked ball in the middle of goal and scored and made final result of 1:0. Tottenham players looked like out of tune orchestra where each member play his song, they looked sloppy in passing, slow and at least to me who watched this over tv not very interested. Some players should look themselves good in the mirror and ask themselves what are they doing in this club ? North London side made few blunders in back line which lead toward big chances for weak AZ side. Dragušin lost ball between two opponents on 16 meters, but Bentancur blocked shot, Davies lost duel on center and Parrot ran alone toward goal, but his effort which went straight into Foster was easily saved. Gray showed he isn't solution on right back in this moment of time, Udogie showed he's out of form and allowed cross inside the box by moving sideways instead to try to block! Foster showed he's not for scrap metal yet that he can still do his job pretty well. Midfield trio Bentancur, Bergvall, Maddison had average game, Swede showed he can make dangerous crosses inside the box from corner.

Werner Timo had one good cross, but showed again he can't score a goal. You should see that dead chance, he ran alone on goalkeeper and then pass ball to him like he is defender of AZ and not Spurs player! So weak shot straight into goalkeeper who probably told him "Danke/Thank you" on German. You should hear that murmur of dissatisfaction among the fans after that! Glen Hoddle told it's lack of confidence, but I am afraid that's lack of knowledge or even worse lack of wish, lack of training drill, lack of everything, pure amateurism!

Moore was ok on right, but when he moved to the left on half time he became unplayable beast for 20 minutes. Johnson wasn't good this time, while others who came in like Kuluševski, Solanke, Sarr were average.

Werner Timo wasn't able to score goal from this dead chance

Werner Timo started counter attack for AZ Alkmar like he did vs West Ham!

Fraser Foster in trouble after counter attack initiated by Werner Timo!

Let's not lie ourselves, this wasn't serious football, we didn't play well, but we won. Some opponent with better attackers would take 3 points from us yesterday! Good thing might be fact that our players surely didn't get too tired before match against Crystal Palace! For the end once again please don't gas young kid Moore after one game, let the boy work hard and pressure Ange to give him more chances in Premier League this season! Let's gas him when he lifts Europa League trophy! :)
