    It is a risk. Seems like a risk worth taking to me. Particularly with Spence still injured.

    Seems so, and he hasn't. Played the Qarabag game in the EL, otherwise not played any cup/EL game before this one. Started twice during the international break though.

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur vs Emirates Marketing Project ***

    It's not like he's unable to defend. He struggles a bit too much one vs one defensively, but otherwise he seems fine defensively to me. Very happy Ange keeps giving him game time in cup/EL games.

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur vs Emirates Marketing Project ***

    He struggles one vs one defensively. Other than that really impressive. An 18 year old struggling a bit with that is hardly a shock. Very impressed with him. Not ready to be a regular starter, but that's fine.

    Better than losing the game and losing key players to injuries like City just did...

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur vs Emirates Marketing Project ***

    Good performance, good win, great fun. Spell in the first half where we were properly under pressure, but managed to improve in the second half. Still under pressure at times of course, but we managed to get out and break. We managed to turn the screw the other way at times. Lovely for Werner...

    I definitely wouldn't want to hang him out to dry. He is the player he is. But his shortcomings with vision and passing are a concern imo.

    Yves Bissouma

    I agree. But I also think a more metronomic, tempo setting, "press resistant" type passer who is better at short and mid range passing deep in midfield would be super useful to us. To take it to the extremes of world class players you're essentially describing an Alonso type player. Would no...

    Dominic Solanke

    Palace game was the kind of game that should have been perfect for Johnson had we been able to play through their press and release him. Moore too tough I'm hesitant to expect too much from him at this point, but had he been setup in "psedo counter attacking" situations after breaking their...

    Cann we make the top 4 or 5?

    I still think we can, but certainly not going to be easy. Would have to find more consistency to go on a really strong run or two which probably would have to include some development in how the players respond to various difficult periods of games. Perhaps also would need one or two of the...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    With most high pressing teams I think it's more about the pressing shape (and intensity/aggression) than the formation as such. Tough often probably some difference between a 3-x-x system and a 4-x-x system? Palace pushed very high up and pressed our players essentially to our touchline if...

    That may be the only thing you can assume. It's certainly not the only thing that can be assumed. And perhaps instead of assuming what people think ask or answer based on what people actually say?

    Yves Bissouma

    I get how that would make things difficult for him defensively. But defensively through the middle we've been mostly fine imo. With the ball playing with two players with real quality on the ball like Maddison and Kulusevski should be really useful. To me in a way the system/selection makes...

    Squad

    I doubt Donley will be ready for a significant first team impact next season, though who knows.

    Dominic Solanke

    Agreed that we've created very little for him in the last 2-3 games. I also agree that our wide players aren't doing enough, in part because they themselves aren't getting the service they need (Palace game and second half vs Brighton in particular). I do think we miss Odobert a bit, looked...

    Mikey Moore

    Who are these people saying that the Palace game would scar him or stunt his development?

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Interesting. I think he's very much looking in the right place. We obviously see this very differently. Imo we know that when we're on our game playing through a high press is one of our biggest strengths. There have been games/periods where one of the worst tactical decisions opponents could...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    In a way, yes. Challenging is probably a kinder way of phrasing at least. I think that's also fine/good.

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur vs AFC Richmond/Crystal Palace - Sunday 27th October 14:00 ***

    I agree that it's good to be aware of those physical mismatches. And to some extent we of course need a physical presence of our own. Much more than that we need to play our game well. Ange pointed out it became the kind of game Palace wanted to play. Going for a more technical squad (that also...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    This really resonates with me and how I'm currently thinking about where we are. Of course tactics, player quality, player selection and subs are important. We probably need more transfer businesses in the next couple of windows too. But maturity, leadership, how we respond in difficult...
