Kulu is not competition with Maddison
We do need a real option to play instead Madda though
He takes so many touches again
Can’t do that against bus Parker’s

Well he is, because he's now better than Madders in the "free" role.

Kulusevski speaks with much more authority than “Jack the Lad” Maddison, the captain of Sweden surely in line to take the armband off Son when his legs go.

Kulu, vdv, solanke and Sarr, that should be our leadership group.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

I don't think it's about a like-for-like player versus balance in relation to the momentum of the side. Deki's playing the 8 well enough to allow him to be 'the' 8 in certain situations with that dynamic energy and awareness of Sarr and Bissouma. Of course Madders will be back, as well he should, and of course he will continue to play well and do good things for us. But I agree, when the bus gets parked we need to find new ways to engineer the necessary momentum to play our football...on the point of having a real option for him, it was always my argument for wanting an Eze, but if we can get Bergvall to speed this season -and continue to give Moore good minutes such as this Thursday- perhaps we have enough?

I think we will get Eze next summer

I don’t think there is a free role
But kulu is revelling in having more and more ball

No chance. He's not something that would be a priority.

Next summer I think what people think are priorities will be very different
He can also play a kinda wide left (where we have an issue), 10 and 8
Exactly what we need

Kulu seizing the 10 spot so well is forcing Maddison to deploy in the 8. He's doing ok there, but i think that's Sarr's role medium to long term, maybe sooner

He's Zaha/Kane-d his career with a poorly timed long contract

I think playing with two 8s could be the way forward, but they have to do the basics of pressing and defending. Maddison doesn't.

 

[Baleforce]

I think it’s exacerbated playing Son and Maddison, they have similar tendencies and don’t put enough in defensively. Son looked better after the Maddison sub too.

Son had room but looked ok once we were counter attacking .. that’s his strength

He may have but it has simailr vibes or when we signed Maddison for me
Also the agency works with Tottenham a lot

Respectfully, you mean #10.
I don't disagree.
But I think Ange's thought process was simply "play faster, 1 or 2 touch"

I do indeed, thank you. That's what happens when you get up at 4.15am to watch live and then go to the gym afterwards!!!!

I saw some guy on a Spurs page on Facebook responding to a post about subbing off Maddison for Bissouma just as the second half was about to kick off.

He said it showed Ange is clueless and that we would go on to lose 3-1.

Rigtfully everyone ripped him after that!

Very brave deciison by Ange which ultimately led to us gaining complete control of the match.

Well, it wasn't Bissouma and Ange was correct. Maddison was crap, as he tends to be when he has to work for it

Just a quick question I’m posting here because it’s more likely to get a reply.

Is safe standing still happening at Tottenham? I’m trying to find what happened after the trial.

I haven’t been able to go in person in a couple of years now so don’t know

Yeah
It’s here to stay

 

[Lemonade Money]

Ange is not a serious manager

Maybe give the manager a bit more credit and patience.

It's there for the bottom third of the south stand. Let's say rows 1 to 23 or so.

Not a massive fan of him as a pundit but Shearer did a really good bit on the difference Sarr made when he came on. Worth a look if you missed MOTD tonight.
