Player Rodrigo Bentancur

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Early in the game he slipped on the wet grass and it looked nasty. He wasn't taken off for tactical reasons......

We have no idea why he didn't go straight off......

The likelyhood however, is that he tried to play through the pain and they re-assessed at HT.... That's not tactical...... And likely nothing to do with Winks either.
 
The answer is an extra MFer; but Conte seems to have torn that page out of his playbook.
He seems to be using Kulu as a weird advanced WB (if there is such a thing) to protect Emerson but also to prop up the front 2 when necessary.

I don’t know why Conte doesn’t just admit defeat and play Kulu as LMF / LAMF and be done with it.

I guess he wants to leave the space free for the WBs but seeing as they dawdle forward to then turn and pass to a MF player 2m away, he may as well put the extra body in there.
 
Twitter nonces are saying Benta is out for three weeks. Last time he had an injury (excluding covid) was in 2019 and missed 1 game.


Lucky our physio's are some of the best in the prem and Joe Rodon playing with cracked ribbs and Oli Skipp getting a bizarre infection when nearly back to fitness were rare oversights.
