*** OMT UCL Tottenham Hotspur vs Villarreal ***

A bit nervy. But got it done, and we were the better side, just. Both sides not great if we're honest.

Thought we lacked movement in possession second half. Players needed to move closer to each other to help our passing. Lots of missed passes and then confidence dropped. First CL game for a while, and the pantomine atmosphere at home ratchets up the pressure. It works in our favour - see their keepers howler. But we must get used to playing in that atmosphere and thriving off of it. Today only the Argies looked comfortable in possession - Romera and Bentancur. Maybe because they are more at home in a febril atmosphere. Bergval was amazing, didn't stop running. Kudus looked a bit knackered by the hour mark, but was still punting.

I'd like to see our midfield get closer and work the ball through the middle of the park.

First half I thought we looked far far better at playing through a press. Work clearly been done post Bournmouth match. But then the confidence and movement evaporated second half.

A win!! Another step forward COYS
