    We saw his performance level when he joined (a continuation of his form from Udinese). Gradually over time probably influenced by his first injury but also Ange's system at tactics his defensive qualities seemed to ebb away to the extent that we kind of forgot how solid he was initially. Udogie...

    Xavi Simons

    The Bale comparison sort of misses the point. It's not about where a player has played before but what their attributes suit. I've said it on here many times, but before Bale joined us he played LM/LW and not FB. We tried to shoehorn him into a role that never suited him (a bit like Simons). Him...

    Xavi Simons

    Football is football and a players attributes are their attributes. Changing leagues isn't going to make Kane a world class goal keeper. That different league, different manager and different system are the indicators and identifying factors of why he caught our eye in the first place. Are we...

    Richarlison

    So your argument boils down to what exactly? Don't critique players because we have them? Just accept any player until they are moved on make excuses for them in the meantime? Why are you even on a football discussion board if you don't find a point to the discussion? It's not even that he's...

    Cristian Romero

    I 100% believe the defensive principles we had installed in us for the last couple of seasons were counter intuitive to the natural instincts of our CBs and thus they'd make uncharacteristic errors due to them being out of their safe space mentally. We might see it as Romero turning off but I...

    Richarlison

    Yeah I'm always up for the discussion. I'd never just attack your view and run away. I love the tactical chat and seeing the varying viewpoints and I'm not afraid to state my own views no matter how controversial they might be on this forum. I think with Richy I've just watched him for many...

    Richarlison

    Harry Kane of course. Why would I compare to a middling player? Do we want ultimate success or not? I'm comparing every player to flipping Messi. The closer they get to that standard the better they are obviously. It's not even blinkers, I'm just not swayed by the fairly simplistic notions...

    It's because when I critique these players the standard response is just one of settling and making do which I find amusing. If we went with that attitude all around we'd never improve on anyone because every player in squad gets backed up by a group of fans somewhere. You'd think our squad was...

    Richarlison

    I know exactly the meaning of the word maybe you don't? Average which is what he is and using selective stats isn't going to change that. I've watched Richy for almost 10 years at this point my opinion on him is well founded on well over a hundred games. Lazy discourse is just dismissing the...

    Xavi Simons

    Small sample size playing for us but not a a small sample size in terms of his career. He's played a lot on the left and through the middle. His attributes best suit a central role. He plays from the left regardless of where his nominal starting position is but the point is if hes started as the...

    Richarlison

    I don't live in fantasy land. I call it as it is. If they play well they will get the plaudits, if they have an upturn in ability they will get all the praise but I'm not going to lie to myself or lower the standards of what I expect.

    I want players who do better than the two you mentioned. You don't? You want mediocrity?

    Richarlison

    I support Tottenham not any player. No I don't have him bang to rights, but it seems like you're excusing all the poor play because he scored. I have a more balanced look at things. A player scoring does not automatically mean they've had a good game. A player not scoring doesn't mean they've...

    A better player might have scored more than 1 yesterday and maybe we get all 3 points. 🤷🏿‍♂️

    Ancelotti and Hiddink. Otherwise pretty much no although Conte was initially popular and I think they have fondish memories.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Brighton & Hove Albion FC ***

    Odobert was ok, in retrospect he contributed to the shape that allowed us to largely control the game so even if just for that reason he's probably earned the next start because our shape was so much more balanced today. He was also obviously involved in the first goal and if he was a bit more...

    Mohammed Kudus

    He's actually too strong at times. He rarely gets the rub of the green from the refs because he's so strong. Quite annoying really.

    Football nerd put your hand up. 🙋🏿‍♂️ Nah I'd seen the odd game before we signed him but once we did and left him on loan I started paying proper attention.
