Michael Cox in the Athletic 👌

“Simons, as the No 10, is tasked with connecting everyone around him: two midfielders who rarely pass forward, two wingers who tend to stay wide, and a centre-forward who isn’t involved much in build-up play. That’s a tough task for a 22yr old in a new league.”

Big, tough win. Wasn’t going to be pretty but we scored two good goals and could have had a couple more 🙌

I’d like to see Sarr on at some point in the 8, Leeds look vulnerable in transition and he’s great at exposing that

I feel like Bentancur used to play much more progressively. Pre-Cash ankle injury I remember him playing fantastically direct and with nice through balls. He has it in him for sure

Kudus, mate 😭 Ask Palhinha for some lessons in composure in front of goal!

Where would we be without Kudus this season, can’t bear to think about it 😂

The criticism Porro gets is kind of mad, because the quickest and trickiest player on the pitch in any PL game is often the left winger

Are we actually quite bad? 😂

We can’t string 3 passes together. Bodo are creating all kinds of nice patterns and chances.

Can’t imagine how emotionally draining this is, he was immense

This is unbearable to watch, like the air is being sucked out

Me too, 10 mins left we looked so poor with the ball, I turned over to the golf!

What the hell are Tel and Odobert doing there, literally 1 minute left and they’re faffing around

We have so many ‘agricultural’ footballers. Other than Porro, Xavi and Romero, where is the poise, the timing, the crisp pass and move?

It’s been this way all season even when we’ve won. It means we lack options when we’re chasing the game, like right now.

It annoys me how conservative we are. We’re playing Wolves at home, why isn’t our best play maker dictating things through the middle? Instead we’re shoehorning him on the wing to accommodate 2 CDMs

Make that all our centre mids!

Not gonna lie, it’s fucking tortuous watching every player apart from Xavi take the ball in the middle

It was pretty chaotic in the midfield with Xavi on the pitch. WITHOUT Xavi… bloody hell 😅

26% towards last season’s points 🙌

F*** me, can someone complete a pass! Xavi made a lovely run in there

Ooooof you blonde beauty Bergvall!

You have to listen to Lee Dixon?? Bloody hell I feel for you. We have him for England matches and it’s diabolical

A case of “you have one job and that isn’t it” 😂

Haha wow what a ridiculous decision. That’s a clear error surely??

This is so weird. I love Ange and he’s so embedded in our history now, but this moving on just feels too fast 😅

Inside Daniel Levy's Tottenham tenure by those who knew him best Daniel Levy stepped down this week after 24 years as the chairman of Tottenham Hotspur but what is the man behind the headlines really like?

Surely we need to loan out or sell one of Odebert, Solomon or Tel (not likely obvs). Tel isn’t getting game time so how is he expected to become the player we want??

Squad question - if we’re looking for a winger, how are we managing Tel, Odebert, Johnson, Solomon etc? Surely we need to sell one and put one on loan at least? IMO Tel or Odebert need proper minutes to actually become the wingers we want them to be.

Not going to overreact on Frank. We lacked intensity and that’s on the players. But I didn’t see us attack their weaknesses in any clear way. How were *we* planning to win that game? I’d like to hear that from Frank.

Was Frank too conservative in the midfield selection? Richy was so isolated, we never created passing sequences in their final third until Bergvall came on and didn’t test their defence at all.

If you created a footballer in a lab, it would be Antoine Semenyo. Pace, power, height, both footed. Knew he was good, but in the flesh he looked unplayable.
