Did you not watch Villarreal?

I did! And next week it will be even worse

Anyone? What about Wilson Odobert?

I like Odobert I wish he was more ready, but he feels like the young guy who should be coming on and developing behind a first teamer. Tbh all of the proper options on the left feel like they are either the development option or the squad depth guy rather than the actual starter. That's what we are missing and why it's seems so janky on that side.

He will not make it with us. I'd be happy to offload him in January as long as we upgrade significantly. He's a decent mid-league player (I think somewhere like Brentford he'd do OK) but he is not the required standard for me if we want to push on.

I don't disagree i was just having a laugh at a post saying "anyone will do" in terms of playing left wing

I actually don't like odobert. I was just having a laugh in respect of the suggestion that "anyone would do" at left wing....

I loved watching Simons out there in the 10 role - you really get to see how much we've missed a player like that (Maddison on a good day makes all the difference, of course). Getting into tiny pockets to receive, quickly turns, flicks people through, finds the right and smart pass just a split second before the defender does, pop up at the right place for a shot. He was excellent. Should've had at least a goal, but his finishing lacked a bit of fine tuning. Anyways, a proper Tottenham-player if ever I saw one. Really excited to see him in that role going forward.

I think your appraisal is a lot fairer and more balanced than mine. Having said that, if we could get a Semanyo or someone like that, I'd move him on!

I'd rather Semanyo.

Hopefully Kudus will put in a good word for us whenever he’s on international duty with Ghana, like how MvdV did with Xavi Simons.
