Shame we're only 1 up, should be more. Kolo FFS!

Big test for Frank now, can he keep the team attacking and go and get 2-3 goals or will he shit himself on 60 mins and bring on Pauline to see out the 1-0?

Biggest difference for me (outside of shit opposition) is:
- Romero being a monumental upgrade on Danso
- Udogie about 100x better than Spence as an attacking LB
- Double pivot dropped, Sarr has clearly been instructed to play forward quickly and follow the ball
- Odobert is erratic but his combination with Udogie down that left is the best option we have
 
Couple of tasty chances there for RKM. Need to get homeboy on the scoresheet tonight..... Get those floodgates open.

All i can hear now are the away fans.

Shameful really.

The football's more positive, so don't use that as an excuse.

You rocket and prawn sandwich eaters there pipe up and stop using the players as an excuse for you not raising the roof off.

Easy to say sitting at home. Crowd havent been bad. Generally smaller teams fans are like that away. On the beer all day no work etc. A lot of Spurs fans straight from work might find it harder to get going
 
First time we are properly seeing that there's a player there in Xavi.
Promising signs but he isn't getting the time on the ball in the EPL as he is tonight (and did in Germany).
Like Wirtz they're taking time to adapt to the league...but signs are there that he has the ability.
Tough asking for patience these days but maybe we need to have that, and hope he repays the transfer fees ( and wages!) in time
 
Well, turns out of you don't play two DM's who don't play the ball, you can actually play football, and our players can pass the ball forward, despite being told otherwise.

Who'd have ever guessed?!

Solid first half. Very sharp at the back. Vicario excellent. Bentancur having one of his good games in midfield.

Simons has been top class. Odobert has been busy as usual without any end product. Johnson has been Johnson.

Muani’s overall play has been good but as is the norm with strikers we signed, bloke couldn’t score to save his life.

Get an early second half goal and kill any belief they have left.
 
Albeit against an opponent scared to even cross the halfway line in pressing, this 3-2-4-1 in possession looks better, allowing us to keep our 2 best passers in Romero and Porro close to each other.

Porro-Romero-VdV
Bentancur-Sarr
Johnson-Simons-Odobert-Udogie
RKM

Could be something to build on if Frank's willing to move on from the Palhinha-Bentancur double pivot at some point. Big if.
