Suspect he’s going to naturally gravitate towards Tel on that left hand side now
Tbh I’d be tempted to be more 4-3-3 with Palinha sitting and Simons with Gray as the 2 8’s. Nobody else is fit and that gets the most out of Simons and Gray

I think more a 532 - especially if Frank is sticking around
Tel and Richy up front, Xavi behind them. Palinha and Gray as a solid pair, 3 cbs and two fbs offering some width.
The word on him was that he was a luxury player— looks good in a dominating team that’s purring along but disappears in a dogfight and very inconsistent. Almost every Prem match is a dogfight and Tottenham, of all teams, can’t afford luxury players. He appears to be Maddison on steroids in terms of that ‘luxury’ player.
Will give him the season to see if there’s any further adjustment, but my expectations are low

He didn’t lose talent over night ffs. He just needs a proper fucking coach.
Probably his break out performance. That being said. He needs to play to a higher standard more often, here's to hoping he continues.

With a season to be settle, he’ll be great.
In two years, him, Tel and Odobert could be very exciting.

This kid has something. He's going to waste it here though
Better second half, showed a few unexpected bursts of pace.
Far better today.
2nd half was perhaps his best half of the season.

Doing this to a top PL team.
Very encouraging
LIght weight first half, but then everyone was.
Second half, loved it. Got stuck in. Did some nice dribbles.
Night and day.
We need to see a lot more though, the question is what else does he have in his locker. He hints at being the real deal. But its just hints right now.

Can’t wait for him to have a gaffer that plays to his strengths.
