Same. Worrying that he is the captain.I'm really concerned about Son this season. His interpretation of the LW is not that suited for Ange's system. He's not starting wide enough. Perisic seems to have a better understanding of what's needed
Just compare it to Luton’s & you will feel better.On this evidence, I shudder to think what our goals against will look like this season.
Still, it's nice to see a Spurs team playing like they want to score a goal or two. God knows it's something we haven't been for years.
Not creating enough?Time for big Ange to earn his money. Some positives but we're not creating enough and they have so many behind the ball. We need to beat the man more on the outside, I think sonny only did it once and deki keeps coming inside. Need to get the ball to Richy somehow but hopefully more space 2nd half.
Or Villa's it seems.
Emerson been caught loadsUdogie and Emerson looked really good.
Maddison is trying to create everything, and is doing brilliantly, while Son and Kulusevski are not suited at all to the system.
VDV has looked good, the deflection was unlucky.
Sanchez is doing as instructed, so him bombing forward and leaving space behind is a high-risk, high-reward strategy that I can't blame him for. His tackles and ball-playing have been very good.
I'm prepared to give a lot of time to Vicario.
Ref should be smart enough to distinguish an actual foul from a forward mistaking the pitch for a swimming poolClear contact, but the Brentford player extends his leg beyond the ball looking for the contact, IMO.
You've seen them given, but that's not one you HAVE to give.
They're called defenders ffs.NBC studio folks said Spurs were hard done by on that pen. Also said Spurs are wild, players all over the place, backs scoring goals, fun to watch
Never seen them given after ref didnt initially give it though.Clear contact, but the Brentford player extends his leg beyond the ball looking for the contact, IMO.

As long as you don’t support them.Also said Spurs are wild, players all over the place, backs scoring goals, fun to watch
So much of the stereotypical complaints about last season weren't true. Most goals in Spurs games than any other club, and we scored 70 which we hadn't done since peak Poch and only a handful of times in our history.
And Sarr for Skipp.Need to replace Kulu with Solomon for the 2nd half. He's just not bringing anything to the team at the moment.

From a free kick and a long shot...Not creating enough?
We've scored twice against a team that is putting 10 men behind the ball.
Boy I wish MLS were this drunk
Son shouldn't have been made captain.
Gonna stink out the joint and Ange will be reluctant to hook off.
