I was thinking the same, I know he has a mistake in him but he clearly is good enough, hes a warrior who gets up and down and clearly cares. definitely worth a squad place if hes happy to stay

It's almost like players improve when they've got competition for their place! We need two players for every position - and ideally, two different types of players in each - as we now have in both fullback positions.

We're seeing the first signs of Jose's patented "us against the world" mentality. He's done it at all of his "smaller" jobs - Porto, Inter and his first stint at Chelsea. Bring the dressing room together, circle the wagons, make it clear that every other fucker is out to get us and only we can help ourselves and rely on and fight for each other.

If he manages it he'll have success at Spurs. It looks like it might be happening.
Absolutely spot on

Yes I realise Bent is a gooner but surely he has some affiliation with us? Or did the old Sandra joke by Harry cut him that deep?

Werner folded like hot laundry when pens were due.

A sunshine boy.

Lol they are calling for Frank to go

Lampard is just a typical 'copy the press blueprint' coach.

His team press well for a period of time and that gives the impression that he knows what he's doing and it does lead to some goals.

However, defensively and game management he hasn't got a clue what he's doing. He's also completely mis managed his squad by signing all these players when he said he was putting faith in the youngsters. They didn't need Havertz or Ziyech, they needed a strong CB and GK.

I got called out for saying this in the summer but you run the risk of unsettling and upsetting players who've done you well, not too mention these kids will be a larger presence in the changing room.

Imagine if Poch had have ditched Kane, Mason, Walker, Rose for more expensive players.

They needed a leader to guide them.

I'm yet to be convinced that Doherty is better than Aurier if I'm honest. Obviously very very early days.

Despite the mistakes Reg looks fantastic. It's so weird to see a mobile FB playing for Spurs

Massive win. Character building result that. Delighted to still be in the draw. Winning is a habit no matter how it's done. Perfect
Same goes for the Europa League games - haven't been the prettiest or most convincing wins, but give us every reason to be confident in coming back anytime we go behind.

SOME TAKEAWAYS:

1) Reguilon is going to be a folk hero in no time. And the wheels! Holy shit.

2) PEH is a rock, future captain.

3) DO. NOT. SELL. LAMELA.

4) Serge is the perfect squad player, came up huge today.

5) Tanguy, where to begin? He is becoming a midfield general -- always calling for the ball, ALWAYS looking to go forward, immensely creative, and suddenly beloved by teammates and able to go 90 twice in a row! Considering a jersey purchase over here....!

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT AT SPURS.

I'm not sure about 4). Holding onto the ball too long and consistently losing it keeps us under pressure as much as the poor ball retention or poor passes.

Always liked his character but didnt like him as defenfive midfielder, much better in defense looks like a leader that we badly need as we have so many refs n VAR against us lol. F@@K VAR and Refs ?

It's his character that's been so impressive. SO many bullshit penalites given against him since restart - but he hasn't dropped his head.

And his pen tonight. First up.

Leader.
