Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I think in defence another FB & a better GK, in midfield some more nous in both directions from 1 maybe 2 new signings, a quality LW and CF and this team could actually challenge for important things but this is the legacy of poor squad investment imo.
 
We’re much improved from last season so I’m feeling positive.

New manager, new ideas. We’ll get better every week and with any luck, we’ll continue to improve over the next two windows and be in a position to compete for the title next season.

If we can secure Top 4 and a win a cup that’d be a great result for us. Especially considering the fact we finished 17th last season.
 
Odobert wasn’t great, but he at least offered an outlet and linked up with the players around him. When Johnson came on it was noticeable how much less space the others had down the left.
Absolutely. I said it in the Odobert thread, I don't see it with him (I think Tel is the better player with a much higher potential), but even then he's miles better than Johnson on that LW. Johnson is just a hopeless case.
 
After going two down you'd have to think that getting a draw is a great outcome. I'm not sure why I feel a bit deflated. Our goals were scrappy and we seemed to stop playing once the second one went in.

I think, perhaps, that Frank's default setting is very conservative play. That would make us hard to beat but, I fear, may mean we would not have the ambition that this club should have. It's early days and I hope to be proven wrong.

I'll confess to being concerned though.
His last two clubs didn't win a game for first 8. We are building a platform and will improve imo.
 
Both teams played well. So many positive plays you can point to for Spurs. This one has to give them confidence. I think people will be tougher on Viccario than he deserves. First goal was him being put in a bad position and on the second you just have to tip your hate to the goal scorer. That was a really well hit ball that was spinning away. I really like this squad already and they will just get better.
Absolutely not on the second. Feet weren’t set.comfortable height. Go with two hands. I’d be disappointed if I has let that in, relatively routine

If this summer is now the blueprint going forward we are moving in the right direction signing wise.

Kudus, Simons, Muani, (Savinho) >>> Johnson, Richy, Solanke, Odobert

Need to keep going in this way and beef up the attacking quality. We were not adequately prepared at all for losing Son and Kane.
