I thought it was clear after Brighton away that he would come good eventually and was just getting used to the league.

As a side note, who now would swap him for Eze? Not many I'd think.
Imagine him under a manager that actually prioritises playing football
Fucking love this kid. Best player on the pitch and ran the show.
Good shift
He’s brave, and plays with personality. I will always respect a player who does this. He could get 10 things wrong in a row and he’ll try again. We need that irrational confidence in others.
Really starting to look a proper Tottenham creative player but long way to go. Most encouraging thing is the fight and strength he's shown in the last few matches. Was getting pushed around too easily before, not anymore
Yeah he’s adapting to the physical demands.
He and Wirtz both had a tricky first few months coming from the Bundesliga. It’s normal to have that adjustment period.
Both looking very good now though
You can see him getting stronger and faster as time passes. Looked abit slow and lacking that burst initially but now hes got more power and intensity about his movements and actions.
Just needs the right blend of players around him. He links with dom well but he needs a winger to supply and work off in and around the penalty area.

I want to see him and maddison together in the midfield with a proper holding 6
Great game as nice to see him do it in the PL
Still needs to get his head up more great at driving with it but a few times someone was through and he either didn't see or didn't back himself to make the pass.
Solid 9/10 performance still

He's a typical example of how little many Spurs fans know about player development. Several wrote him off already, saying he shit and what not...
Has been absolutely useless apart from the last few games … all which could be explained away by one argument or another
Not tonight. FairPlay to him
Was excellent

Always thought he would come good eventually, certainly was a worry to see how far behind it he was at the start but he is really growing in confidence, I think he has realised the fans are relying on him almost solely to be the driving force of the team at the moment, he is our only real head up player who can effectively facilitate play currently fit, if we could find a consistent striker who can play longer than 3 games without injuring themselves and a quality left winger to compliment Kudus on the right we might be ok down the line you feel.
Never got the Eze thing.
Delighted we never bought him.
