Great ball and finish there.

For anyone wondering how Sess scored so many in the championship, look at his positioning for all 3 goals (even the last one where he wasn’t directly involved)

Anyone else having trouble getting Spurs TV to work?

The club website seemed to be down until a couple of minutes ago. Homepage wouldn't load. Direct link to Spurs TV (from my free pass email) loaded, but the 'login' button was dead. 20 minutes later I've managed to log in.

Now when I click 'watch live' it hangs for ages and then I get the following:

As the website homepage is failing to load, I'm wondering if it can't handle the traffic.

I mean, it is Ipswich, but both PEH and Winks seem to be playing as a double pivot, both playing fairly deep, meanwhile the wingbacks are playing super high and hugging the touch line, with the front three tucked in. So its like playing 5 defensive players and 5 offensive ones.
We always looks pretty shit when we played 3 at the back last year but it's working well today. No doubt this is largely down to the quality of the opposition, but would be good to have some other systems in our locker that bring out the best of players like Gedson and Sess.

For those of us that aren't watching, anyone able to give a rough summary so far please?
We started well, pressed their keeper strategically a few times which led to the 2nd goal with dele nicking it and laying it back to Son. The first goal was a good cross field pass from dele, seas controlled it first time onto his Right foot and slotted it in from just inside the area.

the tactics are 4-4-2 out of possession :
Lloris

gedson
Foyth
Toby
Davies

lucas
Hoyjbjerg
Winks
Sess

son
Dele

In possession it’s the usual 4-2-3-1 with RWB (Gedson) more advanced and LB sitting and tucked in (Davies)

Foyth played a nice ball to son for the 3rd.

we look an absolute class above Ipswich at the moment and score line is very fair, they’ve barely had an attack. We’ve used a controlled mid block, have had a good amount of posession.

hoyjbjerg is playing as if he’s played for us for years, keeps things simple and breaks up play, looking a class signing already and giving us better balance.

the team seem to really know exactlywhat Jose wants from them now.

lots of talking and shouting from our boys all game.

son is looking very sharp. Sess has been good too.

All very Positive so far. Gedson hasn’t had much to do but on this half’s showing going forwards hes been no better with the ball than Aurier ,could be a good stand in and learn his trade as a RWB but we’d be exposed if he played there for us against top 6 teams.
