I feel like if I spoke to Jose, he might just be able to sort my life out after seeing what's happening at right back so far.

He really has all the attributes to be a top, top quality full back. Like really top drawer.
It’s just a complete lack of a brain, shown up again by that weird celebration and spit towards the crowd (whether intentional or not, was just disgusting) that will constantly let him down.
I think Mourinho is a big fan of his though and was linked with him when he was in charge of both Chelsea and United if I recall.

In a room with a thousand monkeys on a thousand qwerty keyboards...
Played well last two games. God knows the last time he strung two good games together but hes playing well
Not sure if he spat or not. He did look pissed off though and I don't blame him to be honest. Must be tough - he hasn't had a massive amount of game time, he'll know he's not a fan favourite (yet), he allegedly asked to leave the club in the summer and was denied the chance. But he's clearly a very capable football player and on his day, probably close to world-class. He's rapid, strong, can pass/cross, attacks well and can defend. He's also got a massive character. Which as we've seen can also play against him.
He's just had a few rash incidents that have resulted in penalties/dangerous free kicks that have given him the reputation of being a bit erratic. Maybe Mourinho is the manager he needs. 2 games and 2 good performances so far. If he keeps this up throughout December people will be wanking over him before too long.

This is the thing, he's always been a brilliant footballer. He's just been erratic.
Control & channel it, and we have a top, top right back.

Boy certainly likes a goal/assist!
The raw materials have always been there. I likened him to Disco Benny some time back... Maybe JM will be to Serge what 'Arry was to Benny...?
We can drop the suggestion he was taunting the crowd with his 'ear cupping' celebration too... He's done that a lot.
I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt with the spitting thing, it would be a really bad look if true but lets focus on a MOTM performance. I think the way we play under Jose, with the full backs not committing as far forward suits him, he is less likely to get caught out of position and his laziness in tracking back that we saw under Poch isn't as evident as he just won't go forward in the first place instead.
Best game in a Spurs shirt for me.
Let’s hope it continues

Come on now
I’m all for seeing him improve but world class...?
Never said he was world class. I said that on his day he's probably close to world class because he has all of the attributes the best RB's in the world have. Rapid, strong, decent ball player, attacking threat and solid defensively - again. On his day.
“If only we didn’t sell Frodo”.......
“Frodo is one of the best crossers of the ball”........
Getting a wee bit carried away still getting torn in to a player who doesn't even fucking play for us anymore.
Still a better player than Serge tbh IMO.
It's fucking dead now, stop kicking it in the head.
Seems to me like it comes flying out of his mouth when Winks jumps up on his back. So very much a involuntary spit and you clearly see him bending down and to the side as soon as possible to avoid hitting anyone.
