You are just naming 2 midfielders on each squad. Reijnders hasn’t played the 6 all season. Both Chelsea players you named are starters - and they aren’t even better than we are. Then you just name a bunch of players and say they are all better than Palhinha even though half don’t even play the same position.

That’s not debating, that’s you just saying shit and pretending it’s true because you said it.

Well, good. Athletic got to conclusion most Spurs fans understood in the last month of summer window already.

Though I really hate that it is labelled "Tottenhams PALHINHA problem" - full clickbait news and they even say in the article that it is not Palhinha issue. It is -
1) Palhinha + Bentancur combination issue (!)
2) and what they do not say but what I've said for few weeks now- it is formation issue too.

4-3-3 with Palhinha + Bentancur is ultra-conservative. But that does not make it a Palhinha problem. It makes it overall selection problem.

Use CM duo instead of trio and put Xavi into middle area. And then pair Palhinha with Bergvall who can pass it better and carry it. Or with Sarr who can carry it and win it back higher than others. Literally Palhinha is least of the problems here.

None of our MFs are performing at elite level for their positions in truth. Pal is doing a very good job at 6 but with some limitations. As is Bergvall as an 8. And we don't yet have anyone doing that well as a 10, and have two 10s in sick bay.
