Donny, I'd much rather watch this type of match as opposed to what we've been served up the past 2-3 years. Much more industry being shown by Spurs.4-4 anyone? Got to admire how hard Vitesse work and skills upfront
Utterly bizarre game. It was an improvement but a complete basket case of a game. At least some seem to care again. Winks went forward with ball to, twice!!!!I have no fucking idea what to think about that.
I agree about Emerson. Happy to be proved wrong, but I don’t much rate him either. There’s a reason the worst Barca team in recent memory wanted rid of him.I suppose it will take time for Conte to beat them into shape, but is that Emerson bloke worth wasting effort on? I don't know why but I don't rate him at all. I expect we'll get another 3 or 4 in the second half but can we stop them getting 5? Is it fun? Yeah, probably, I've forgotten what that is like.
I get the feeling January might be used to trim the squad down so we can improve early doors in the summer. One of the biggest things holding us back in the transfer windows is having to sell so get rid now as many players aren't good enough anyway. If we can get quality in January then great but realistically top players rarely move mid season.We won & at this time, that's what matters.
Conte has had 2 days to assess this squad.
He changed the formation & the first 30 mins were indicative of what we're capable of.
He energized the side & we came out flying.
After that, we were essentially running on fumes.
Once they get fitter, we should be better. Add 2-3 prioritized players in January, get rid of deadwood, & we'll be a formidable side.

I agree, but he's still very young and definitely has 'potential'. At the moment he's often caught out of position and his final ball is woeful.I agree about Emerson.

Tanganga is an interesting one under Don Tony--he can play at RB, but not sure about RWB. IMO he's probably better suited to playing on the right of a back three. You're right about Emerson, of course he needs a bit of time. I'm wondering if Doherty will get a look in, especially since he was very good playing as a wing back at Wolves. Either way, what a different state we're in than a few years ago, when we had Trippier pushing Kyle Walker for the RB position.I agree, but he's still very young and definitely has 'potential'.

I'd like to see Tanganga get some games - he's good and I think possibly better than Emerson and Reguilon at the moment. Hojbjerg is also a bit of a worry, not having as good a season as last and Skipp had a poor game as well giving the ball away a lot.
In the plus column we moved the ball quicker, ran faster and further and scored 3 goals....it was a crazy fun watch and I haven't said that for a while, properly Spursy pantomime stuff....and we won, which was also very necessary.
Don Tony spoke much sense after the game (and looked exhausted) and so did Glen Hoddle on the feed that I watched. Including 'Stadiums don't win trophies' and 'Levy leave the football side alone'
