    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Fulham FC ***

    No creativity with all this possession. So even with three in midfield, we are seeing some of the same problems we saw from last season (as others have pointed out, it looks like 2022/Conte team all over again). Again, not to put all the blame on PEH because I think Skipp hasn't been playing too...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Fulham FC ***

    For me, this is "The PEH Effect." I don't want to single him out but he just slows things down and his idea of "safety" might lead to immediate safety for the next pass, but it puts our backline under stress. The midfield pressing is actually awful today. Letting Traore get a cross off that a...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Fulham FC ***

    For me, it's a combination of poor passing and poor movement in transitions/offense, and poor general positioning when out of possession. Sanchez, Skipp, Royal, Davies, PEH, Richarlison aren't passing the ball well at all tonight, and a lot of others aren't up to standards either. GLC hasn't...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Fulham FC ***

    I'm OK with the changes because we just played on Saturday. Micky, and to a lesser extent Richarlison, will be on tired legs. The MF/FWs will have to press a lot in this system, and this early into the season, I think it's a good choice to rest the more tired legs. Obviously, it would be a bad...

    New Kit?

    I'd go with 'squid' or 'royal rooster skin'

    Alejo Véliz

    Maybe ready to play a part after this round of the EFL cup, assuming we beat Fulham.

    Son Heung-Min

    Maybe Son isn’t at full fitness but I don’t think he presses enough. He isn’t losing the ball as much as last season so I think his attacking play has been fine. I do think he will find his scoring boots soon, and on top of that, Destiny isn’t getting into his space except maybe once or twice...

    Yves Bissouma

    I have to disagree with the whole “4th place” myth about last season. We were only there because we played extra games than a lot of the teams that happened to be below us in the table. Once they played their games in hand, we were placed into our proper position. I just read @DTA ’s post now...

    Micky van de Ven

    Remember when we used to talk about how players need half a season to bed in and get used to the league and all that… Ange just throws on four debutants, most of them young players, and they seem to do fine. He’s OK with them making mistakes as long as they play the right way; he really does...

    James Maddison

    Are there even any midfielders left? I thought Chelsea bought them all.

    Pape Matar Sarr

    The important thing is to be constantly doing this regardless of who we have in their position. On top of that, we have to be a club that can compete with other clubs in player contracts, so if these prospects turn out to be good, we need to reward them and maximize their value.

    Oliver Skipp

    I think the team needs to create overloads down the weaker side of teams like Brentford. It was hard to force things through the middle and while our crossing was decent, Richarlison isn’t the same target man that Kane is. Hopefully Skipp comes good as we need more HG options around.

    Gift Orban

    Hopefully better about being caught offside than Defoe.

    Emerson Royal

    The refs might have to play nice too since they might be under more scrutiny.

    Micky van de Ven

    Micky is the yin to Romero’s yang? He will bring us balance finally!

    Emerson Royal

    So Royal goes from a WB which was not his natural position back to a FB/inverted WB and taken that position on smoothly. Also had some intelligent movement across our box to cover so I think Ange trusts the players to be a bit more fluid in their positioning. I do think he could have done a...

    James Maddison

    As much as I don’t like players picking up cards for dissent, it showed that he is one of the leaders in the team, especially when one of them had to be subbed off. Made some excellent forward passes and richarlison should’ve done better with the chance he was given, although their keeper did a...

    Richarlison

    I think his pressing today could have been better but he did decently to hold the ball up at times. It’s obviously hard to compare to Kane because Harry was so good at retaining possession and then releasing the ball while being pressed onto an onrushing Son. Richarlison just doesn’t have that...

    Destiny Udogie

    Again, I want to be cautiously optimistic but I can’t believe some people on here were suggesting other players should be starting ahead of him. His defending at the end of the game was so intelligent with that one chance outside the side of our box. He marshaled their player outside the box and...

    Micky van de Ven

    Nice ball playing skills, got himself out of trouble with a nice piece of skill. Won some simple headers in midfield to win back possession. He will only get better, but he will have some bad games here and there I assume. Just need to be patient as with all our young players.
