Could affect their selection for the next game, force them to use players differently, add to cumulative fatigue over the season.

how bad did the injuries look?

Lucas didn't look good despite him playing on for a few minutes. Looked like a combination of a twisted knee and leg muscle tear. Bergwijn looked to be muscular too. I fear both are out a couple of weeks.
Moura played on for a few minutes and walked off so hopefully not too bad. Bergwijn looked in real pain at first, but he did walk all the way around the stadium to the bench so again hopefully not too bad….

I never really bought the ‘We have a squad that is better than it’s been allowed to play’ line. We’re still very average - and we
have serious creativity issues.

Moura looking a bit sore. The rest who knows
I guess it wasn’t all bad - NDombele showed up, thought Rodon did well, Bryan at times showed his potential and I liked Royal when he came on. When he receives the ball he looks to go forward with it instantly, and is direct - it makes such a difference.
In the modern game full backs are such a crucial aspect of attacking play, and when you have Ben Davies and Doherty in those positions you know it’s not going to be pretty…..

Our creativity is Kane and Son doing something or Moura being a headless chicken.

No. He needs to be eaten, or sold.

We need to pass quicker, it's all so laboured. It's partly the players selected but also our attitude. We don't look to play quickly, no one touch football. It's two touches and then a pass sideways. Slows the rhythm and loses the momentum.
I like Gil I would like to see him feature in PL games on either side. Ndombele had a positive game, showing class and quality and decent involvement although I want to see MORE. He has it in him to be incredible, so I want to see that at Spurs.
Skipp and Hojberg is a solid but static base. It's strong and I get why it's the path we've taken so far. Add some quick combinational players like Gil and Ndombele to the mix and we might have a platform for something. We do have a talented squad just as always unbalanced in some way. [emoji28]
We had a RW on the bench in Markanday, however Nuno decided to bring a RB on instead. Weird decision. Emerson looked clueless in where he was meant to be
El Guepardo
Rafael Van Der Vaart
it’s also not great for Markanday as he realises that he is sat on the bench for no reason. If the perfect moment for his chance arises, but we bring on a right back out of position instead, then what does that tell him?

All a bit safety first. Gil moving forward to replace Bergwijn, could bring on Alli or Hojbjerg, so Hojbjerg it is.
That's fair enough for now. At least we didn't get the midfielde we had against Palace.

Don't be so naughty. They spent £80m on replacements (more than us) and have a renowned stream of youth coming through, hence the kids they brought on.
I thought they were a pretty good side, huge amounts of effort, pressing, good passing etc.
Happy with a point, considering PSG mustered a point at Bruges last night.
EDIT: Within 3 years a bunch of those Rennes players will probably be lighting up the top leagues and CL and we'll be wishing we could sign them.

we always seem to take an extra touch, which is also way we struggle any time we are out under pressure.
Ndombele wasn’t even that good tonight, he just was something different than backwards side ways passing
Gil looked good with the limited ball he had.

They looked like a cohesive unit. Knew what they were doing when they had the ball, there was a plan, there was balance.
We have very little of that at this point. Because of the players we're missing, the lack of match fitness and time playing together for some of our players, a lack of balance in our squad made worse by players missing.
Would have liked to see us a bit further along towards looking like a team with a plan on the ball. But I accept that it's been difficult for Nuno and it's early days.

I think Moura will be fine within a week. Slightly twisted his knee/ankle as some guy tackled him wildly from behind. VAR would have told the ref to issue a yellow card IMO. Yes, yellow.
The Bergwijn challenge didn't look bad at all, got a kick on the calf that happens all the time, but presumably it was the same leg he just injured? Hopefully will be fine within a week.
Kane was just taken off to keep him fresh and to show him that he is no longer GHod of Spurs.
And disjointed. Would be nice to be able to see what we're trying to do, but its not obvious
