Yeah, when he’s on it, Maddison is our best attacking player.

Half time observations:

1) Archie Gray is a brilliant full back. This kid is so special. He can play anywhere!
2) Ben Davies brings so much organisation to our back 4. Continuously shouting at everyone to get back or get in shape and every time they have a chance he is shouting at the right player who messed up.
3) Bentancur is a massive upgrade on Bissouma. He always shows for the ball even when pressed and usually makes good use of it. He has definitely become an underrated player in our setup. I don't think we realise just how big a loss he's been!
4) Richarlison has done well but his hold up play is so poor compared to Solanke.
Agree with all. But I have to add, Ben Davies has time to yell today. Against better opposition he doesn't have time to waste. He's usually too busy chasing Shadows.
 
Why do we have to have vacuous bottle blondes anchoring mens football?

Why not a 78 year old, blind, Asian transgender double amputee in a wheelchair who can only communicate in Vietnamese Braille.

If we are going to do this, we should go all in.
 
Funny old game , really should have about 4 but could easily have conceded a couple .

They're there for the taking , come on Spurs , finish them off early
Agree -

This likely goes one of two ways, we get a third early after the break and sail on with the kids, or we concede and it’s another white knuckle finish which we don’t need.

I expect we’ll be fine, two goals up w/ Porro and Richy missing a couple that should’ve been easy goals
 
When will Kulu be NOT tired? Genuine question. Porro speed isn't affected despite playing more than him and being older, and Porro is probably the most played player. Kulu is only 24 in case anyone forgets.
 
Quite jittery for the most part.

Definitely some positives here Porro playing well. Richarlison has been a positive. Berg heavily involved. Good things to see.

I would really hate to see them pull one back, because that’s when the mental issues set in and we end up gripping through the end
Porro has indeed been good...but Hoffenheim are pretty meh. Still created a fair few chances. Austin is a good keeper, deserves to go somewhere he can play week in week out...I've seen worse in the PL.

No he hasn't, apart from one cross in the first 15mins he's been p!ss poor
Holding play poor
passing poor
tackling none
link up play none
shooting poor
dribbling poor

Not sure why Porro didn't take the time to get it onto his right foot.
