    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United ***

    Lol, that’s what I was trying to do!

    To be fair that looks borderline at best: (Sign me up to be a VAR technician!)

    Emerson Royal

    I also think there was less space out wide than usual because Brentford had 5 at the back. Against 4 at the back I think there’ll be a bit more room for Sonny to build up a head of steam to run at people. Don’t think he’s ever been as effective beating people from a standing start.

    Micky van de Ven

    It's funny I came away feeling not that confident in him, but I think that's just because he looks potentially like a bit of a clumsy oaf to me - just the way his body is built and the way he moves. But in practice I guess he didn't actually do anything clumsy or oafish - quite the opposite in fact!

    Oliver Skipp

    Yeah if Royal is going to consistently play so centrally like that, I think the player in Skipp's role has to play more as a no.10 / inside forward. Otherwise they're just getting in each other's way. Or Skipp ends up going out wide behind Kulu, which feels pointless as it's just the CM and RB...

    Oliver Skipp

    My biggest beef with Skipp has always been that he doesn’t get on the ball enough. Yesterday’s passing stats were: - Bissouma: 116 - Royal: 106 - Maddison: 63 - Kulu: 58 - Skipp: 39 (equal to around 52 if he hadn’t been subbed). And last season he averaged 45 passes per 90, compared to around...

    Emerson Royal

    Yeah will be interesting to keep an eye on that - he’s not slow, but he’s not super quick either. I think his top speed is better than his acceleration. Might just need to learn to give himself a yard or two head start. Whereas Udogie’s top speed looks outstanding!

    Dejan Kulusevski

    I do wonder whether Ange will ever consider playing Kulu alongside Maddison (or in place of him is he’s out). With Perisic/Solomon/Porro out wide. Without an overlapping full-back it does feel like we lack penetration down that right side with Kulu always cutting in.

    Yves Bissouma

    May be unfair, but one of my biggest gripes with Conte last season was Bissouma looking like a shadow of himself under him. Brilliant to see him looking so outstanding today.

    Emerson Royal

    Yeah even when we all hated him as a wing-back, I always thought he was technically good in deeper areas. Feels a bit weird that he might be getting on the ball more than any player other than Bissouma - will be interesting to see how that develops!

    ***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Brentford OMT***

    Yeah I can’t help but feel a little disappointed that Ange-ball didn’t seem to come across today as much as it did in the friendlies. Maybe just harder to do in a competitive game, especially when Brentford were often sitting so deep.

    ***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Brentford OMT***

    Agreed - excellent from him, and interesting to see him ahead of Dier and Davies. Can’t see him wanting to stay though as 3rd/4th choice.

    ***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Brentford OMT***

    Yeah bit of a weird one. I swear he used to go outside much more, keeping the defender in his toes. Did it once today and it was really effective. But almost always seems to cut inside now.

    ***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Brentford OMT***

    I find the Royal/Skipp dynamic a bit weird. I like the idea of Royal going inside sometimes, but it feels a bit pointless if he’s always going to go inside and Skipp’s always going to go outside - it’s just recreating the standard dynamic but with both players playing out of position! Also...

    When did the rule become that ANY contact below the waist was a foul?

    ***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Brentford OMT***

    I feel pretty certain it’ll be Richarlison at CF and Son on the left - that’s how things have been throughout preseason. And Richarlison’s much better in the air, and Ange seems to like his crosses. (Agree there might be some in-game rotation though).

    New Captain Poll

    Surprised people are suggesting Skipp - have you seen what he is like off the pitch in interviews and behind-the-scenes videos? Seems very shy and awkward to me. Personally I think it’ll be Maddison, or maybe Son.

    Alejo Véliz

    That’s interesting - perhaps we will be after another striker then with Harry gone?

    ENIC

    True, fair point. Then again that felt like an unplanned necessity to cover Covid shortfalls, rather than a voluntary investment to further strengthen the team. And I’d imagine most other teams’ numbers in that graph would have increased fairly proportionately.
