Can we cancel Porro's loan in the summer?
Porro will get some game time, but not at Emerson's expense.
Emerson is looking Spurs best right back since Walker.
Porro needs to learn how to defend in Conte`s system, that will come over time and hopefully he will be a good attacking wingback.
It should be horses for courses also, Royal is a solid defender so is preferred against teams with good wide attackers, Porro would be a better choice against teams who sit back and let us have the ball.
You would assume Conte wanted Porro, so must see what he will offer.
Royal may be defending well and took his goal well today, but as a wingback he still can`t cross for toffee and lacks pace, qualities which hopefully Porro will bring.

The famous back Conte clan will soon speak. But uts good to see we haven't as much money as people think we did.
I still think Spence just like Sarr will one day show we were wrong to assume they weren't ready for Prem or big cup games.
We just need Gill to take some steroids like Messi did

Porro is miles better...If we are drooling about Emerson, wait when Porro has settled, (like Sandy's dust)!
Porro needs to get adjusted to the pace but to be fair, his first game was against Harvey Barnes...Who is quick and a very good player.
Let's not get carried away yet with Emerson, though he gave his best and probably is looking better.
Davies was very good to me imo. He setup the goal for Emerson, so Conte should be a bit more perked up seeing his wing backs involved in the goal.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The amount of crap that hoijberg gets from fans, despite being a defensive/box to box mid with a good number of goal contributions is crazy.
On a side note, Richarlison at £60m is looking more and more like shocking business
We do lack creativity and playing wing backs is borderline boring if it does not come off. It did today but it was a relegation favourites West Ham.
Emerson has had 2 or 3 good games on the trot now but I dont think this will last.
Davies setup a very good goal today but again is this is likely to happen again next time there is an eclipse of the moon.
I could say the same about Hojbergs pass, yes it was a great pass but we also know thats not exactly the norm. He is far more likely to give the ball away than he is to make another pass like that this season.
Very good or great players consistently deliver great performances regularly most of our players occasionally deliver a great pass or score a great goal.
We all dream of being one of the top teams in the land, competing for the premier league etc etc. As it stands we possibly have 4 players that are good enough to do that the rest will struggle to get top 4 this season.
Everyone can moan now because I am "negative" either that or you can pull your head out of you ar** and realise I am being realistic.

I totally agree, 99 out of every 100 Davies crosses fail to find their target, the same with Royal. We all know our squad is short of where it needs to be, the problem is 4th will be seen as success by ENIC
Emerson is showing the need for competition for places. I don't think it's a coincidence he's picked up form with Porro being signed to take his place.
Similarly, Son looked a lot better today knowing Richarlison is there to take his place.
We need to make better use of our squad to keep everyone on their toes.

Hojbjerg gets crap because quite often he is crap, I would expect he would be more consistent if he did not have to start every game.
Richarlison is best playing through the middle, but he isn`t getting in ahead of Kane. I also reckon he was bought with Kane possibly leaving in mind.
Emerson has been good for weeks Grandspur. Still only 23, he needed time to settle, and looks the real deal now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
In your opinion you mean? He has been a hell of a lot better but thats only because he was simply dreadful before and anything was an improvement.
He may have had a good game today (by his own standards) but he is still not good enough as has been pointed out by others already.

He was never dreadful ….just poor going forward but defensively he has always been solid
He is starting to settle and obviously learn his role in the team and it’s now showing going forward too….he is making some very good runs inside
Young in a new country….people should show some patience
Him and Porro make a very strong right side ….everyone will be skating him soon when he isn’t the messi of right wing backs within a few games

I would disagree with that as well I think his defensive capabilities are as bad as his attacking capabilities.
His positioning is poor, his decision making is poor, he is rash with his tackles, he goes to ground too easily. I personally do not rate him at all even if he has had a few good games.
