Timber and Rice will eat him alive.
Or he'll score a hat trick.
Or he'll get sent off for decking Arteta.
All three scenarios just as likely with this bipolar on steroids club that is Spurs.
I'd stick him back on the left and put Bergvall in the 10 role.
This FEELS simple enough if an example, and whilst has an element of probably about it, yesterday was a unique case...
Here we were bringing on a player that CHELSEA had sought to buy/snatch under our noses, yet WE convinced him Spurs was the team to come....
That plays out 2 ways, depending on how you see it:
He comes on and rubs THEIR face in it, by showing them what they missed out on (like Eze SO OBVIOUSLY WILL to US in a few weeks)
OR you surrender meekly, put in a performance like THAT, and show them they probably dodged a bullet!!
However,HAD he signed for THEM instead, you just know he'd have been going home with the match ball, look like Prime Messi, and WE'D be lamenting our club for missing out on such a gem... again!
I'm willing to willing to wager that both Eze AND Morgan Gibbs White both have stormers against us in our upcoming games...
It's just the way the universe works...
Richarlison says helloWhy does it FEEL LIKE WE sign the players who take longest to adapt....
I know that's not the case, as Wirst is proving at Liverpool...
But for ONCE we need to sign a player who can hit the ground running...
Or is THAT why they say only sign PL proven quality like MGW or Eze?
He won't play against Woolwich. Chelsea dominated him, and so would Woolwich's midfield.
Trying to find positives here. How likely is it that his poor form is down to him having having to serve the equivalent of static traffic cones up front?
If we had forwards with much better movement, would his workload become easier? In short would buying a decent striker or three bring the best out of him?

He's shite
It's always easier to play with better players but Xavi's fundamentals have been extremely poor. He's physically weak, lacks acceleration and not quick enough to make decisions on the ball. I cringe whenever he has the ball near an opponent because there's a 90% chance he will lose it.
Those problems aren't going to be solved by playing with Harry Kane, he has to be humble and really work hard to improve his game. Right now he looks like another Dutch flop midfielder, and there have been plenty of them in the PL. He's currently our Donny Van De Beek.

Or our other notable Dutch imports who stormed the PL.
Dennis Bergwijn
Vinny Janssen.
As Del would say, "I-yax"
We bid for 2 athletic attacking midfielders and end up with a mouse . Welcome to tottenhams recruiting .
The same people who have mental breakdowns in match threads no doubt, there’s a few of them
Richarlison’s best season was like 13 goals, mostly from the LW and included pens.
He was hardly prolific.
Some of those goals were probably against us. We should take our shitness into account when considering stats on players before buying them lol
I think we should simply drop him. Though we are short of bodies. Pretending theres not a problem is foolish. If hes getting minutes and his this weak Luca williams-barnett deserves a start. .
Let's be real, he was third choice behind MGW and Eze and he is looking like it. Just typical THFC, never give the manager who he wants.
He also wanted Mbuemo but we gave him the Temu version in Kudus.
Doesnt matter who the manager is, past, present or future. They all get stitched up.
