He’s not a CM??
Looks a lot like one there
We always just needed a good coach for these young players- not BS Angeball, which incredibly some folks are still clinging onto as if the man was some kind of genius. They’d rather blame kids for not teaching themselves.
Best game for Spurs today.
Going to be some embarrassed people for having written him off so soon. People never learn.
That’s exactly what has felt missing from him as a midfielder. Push forward, drive into open space. He’s got all the technical ability he needs.
It was the DM I said didn’t suit him - box to
Box or wide and there’s more chance he does well. Good engine
That’s DM / 6 is v niche
It’s been a mentality thing imo.
He’s had that since Leeds at 16/17 but the step up to the PL made him cautious.
If he’s doing that regularly against PL opponents plus the defensive awareness of playing CB and FB, that’s when we start to see the Yorkshire Busquets come out
His talent and maturity is there for all to see.
It's like some people don't think a 19 year old that's been playing in multiple positions is allowed to have lacklustre games here and there.
Modric and Son are two of the best players we have seen in a spurs shirt and they had many bad games their first season (playing in their position). Both had questions about their suitability for the PL.
Who knows how Gray will turn out but you’d think our fans would give young players time and the opportunity to work through rough patches.
Just so frustrating that the last management outfit thought he was a 6 type player. He’s a front foot, aggressive box to box player. If we play him there he’ll grow and shine.
He’s got everything you want in a DM imo. Technically good enough to play through pressure, passing range, defensive awareness and has the ability to drive the ball forwards
Im glad we got him a year of playing with Son as well.
Pretty sure Brentford and Frank were reported as seeing him as a 6.
He played 6 today really but double pivot so less solo responsibility and more chance to play further forward
Break out season.
Justin Cochrane will be fantastic for our younger players
Thought this game was the first time I’ve seen him look like a centre mid
He’s still way too timid. I was glad to see that Newcastle player punch him in the face off the ball
That’s the sort of thing he needs to dish out
I reckon palhinha can be a great influence
He didn’t play as the deepest mid until Bentancur went off. He was patrolling that left channel and had license to get ahead of the ball. He just looked much more comfortable than playing with his back to play receive the ball from CBs, etc.
