***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v The Garibaldis (will Marinakis eat his own club with a cuppa?), Sat Sept 5th, City Ground, 3pm***

Happy with a point.

Never like playing Forest in recent times. They can play with a real spark and passion....didn't really see any of that today. Pawson was the only thing getting their crowd going.

I think Kudus and Xavi will be key to what we do. They have the willingness to just go direct at players even when things don't come off.

The pressure on RdZ if we’re waiting for injured players whilst he has us playing very ponderous football is gonna be huge

Not at all.

This one is subtle. There are so many roles on the medical and conditioning side and every player needs to be managed uniquely. A player like Udogie has had 6 muscle injuries and 2 knee injuries, so who is RDZ to tell an expert that his player should play 95 mins? They've worked through a process of giving him 65 mins against Charlton and tested his body's reaction. They then moved him to the bench and give him another 30 mins and once again tested his recovery. Then a week without a game and then thrown back in for another 60-70 mins. Our medical and conditioning team know best on Destiny.

You could go through every player one by one and it would be a very personal situation. We're not in a position where we have a long list of injuries so don't need to take risks.

Yeah not sure whether Fernandes was an actual injury or just managing of minutes but we lose a lot with him not playing.

Totally agree with you, this pre season was a shambles in terms of being ready for the season. After last season you would have thought there'd be a big focus on hitting the ground running but I guess these tours had been planned some time in advance. Consolation is history tells you it's how you finish that is more important but it's been a shambles no doubt....

De Zerbi thought Gallagher was the better option today 😲

If we don't get a win next game, my fear is that the team starts to lose faith, and then we are bang in trouble, because then it becomes tenfold times more difficult to turn it around.

That's the team I ideally want to see next match. Udogie and Robertson are quite interchangable for me. Neither truly convinces if I'm honest. Tonali had a good game imo, but we need more passing quality deep and Fernandes is essential in providing that imo.

The 10 is a conundrum that I don't know if we have a good solution too. Marmoush in the 10nis a possibility but that then involves playing Solanke and id rather not do that if possible.

That x is what makes it all work or not.
